Theos-Talk Archives (July 1998 Message tt00191)

    Thanks to Paul for the very interesting SD quote, and
thanks to Dan C. for the synopsis of "Avaisnava
Interpretation of the Brahmasutra."  I plead gross
ignorance. I didn't know that some of Allan's viewpoints
are held by traditional Indian Schools of thougt.  But, one
more thing I thought was worth commenting on:

Allan quotes and writes in  #334:

>>  It
>> might interest you to know that Theosophical Doctrines
>>(In
>> Purucker, at least, probably in Blavatsky somewhere...)
>> hold that *Existence* is consisted of a series of
>> "Absolutes" and that this whole reality of seven or
>twelve
>> planes, is a manifestation or "inferior" to another
>superior
>> hierarchy - and this goes on ad infinitum -
>Parabrahman,
>> the great ever ungraspable ALL.

>I understand every word of the above.  Of particular
>interest is the way the
>"absolute" has been compartmentalised and limited by
>the above states.  Must come
>from a pretty advanced mind that.

____________________________

      My interpretation of "heirarchies ad infinitum" is that in
the True Sense - There Is No Absolute.  There is only
"absolutes" for particular hierarchies.  Parabrahman is
Infinity.
      Also,  G. de Purucker  is one of the chief
Theosophical authors (not acknowledged as a
Theosophical Teacher by some, which is neither here nor
there...)  Some of his writings are probably online, but his
books are sold by: Theosophical University Press,  POB C,
Pasadena, CA 91109; and Point Loma Publications, POB
6507, San Diego, CA 92106.
    So that is who Purucker is.

can seldom devote their minds to any subject that does
not have practical value.
