Theos-Talk Archives (July 1997 Message tt00001)

Yes, it's a good idea to united on common themes in theosophy
such as:

1. The uncaused First Cause
1. The Evolution of Consciousness in time and space
2. The Immortality of the Soul
3. Reincarnation and Karma (Cycles)
4. The Hierarchy of the Master of Wisdom
5. Universal Brotherhood based on the unity of life

The more difficult themes might be:

1.  A definition of Deity other than the Absolute (personal or
impersonal ?, Being or Be-ness or both?)

2.  The inner classification of Man: Principles or Bodies ?
4-fold, 5-fold or 7-fold classification?

3.  The nature of the after-death condition; purely subjective,
objective, or a combination of both ? How long between
incarnations? A 1,000 years, 20 years ?

4.  The Devas.  A separate line of evolution completely or an
allegorical term for the Dhyan Chohanic Kingdoms (liberated
humanity)?

5.  Will we ever have definitive answers to these fascinating
questions steeped as we are in Maya ? Perhaps the Intuition
(Buddhi-Manas) in each of us will be the eventual arbitrator of
these questions.
