Theos-Talk Archives (January 1997 Message tt00000)

I have to say that the article from this January's THEOSOPHY
WORLD magazine, "Root-Races and Geologic Periods" by William A.
Savage, is an example of the inspiring and thought-provoking work
that may be done by those who study the ORIGINAL teachings of
Theosophy and compare them to modern currents.

I found Savage's work a remarkably clear exposition of a topic
which gets little notice but deserves much more careful
attention.  As the author points out, modern medicine, biology,
and physics have made a considerable approach to the esoteric
teachings of HPB and her Teachers -- we should expect the same
for archeology.  This will be particularly so if we, alert
Theosophists, can make this approach easier by studying the
original teachings, popularizing them (in MODERN language) and
making a definite attempt to engage current secular thinkers in a
dialogue, either in person or print.

Bravo to Mr. Savage!
