Louis -- a mini-pralaya no doubt -- I received nothing either

Lets start some discussion running on the 2nd Object of the
Theosophical Movement and see if it has anything to do with the
2nd fundamental -- that LAW  (Karma) is everywhere ?  What do the
various religions and philosophies have to say about Law.  By
what rationale is that placed in the hands of a "god?"  Is such a
god the Universe or something less or above and beyond the
Universe ?  If so where is he, she, it to be found and how do we
know that (IT) has any care at all for this puny earth and all
the billions of any-like intelligent animals crawling all over
it -- such as we must appear to be to such a grand being ?

How is that we even question these things ?

Some people think Karma (or their personal cause/effect trail) is
a local matter and that it perversely trails us like a docile
puppy;  and others would rather not even meet that prospect or
deal with Karma and have (or set up) as many escape routes as
they can imagine.

Can we really live and do as we please and escape the results ?

How is it that Nature supports and nourishes us anyhow ?

If we abuse it, why don't we get "dumped?"

If the Universe is one whole -- then, don't we share in
everything ?

If one part of us is based in the SPIRIT, then should we not use
whatever knowledge we can get of or from that, to regulate our
lives ?

Why is there so much aversion to discipline?

Why doe many scholars labor to understand what the ancient meant
when the wrote?  Were they wise or foolish, or did them use a
different meaning to language than we do now.

Can we assign our present civilization's values and motive to the
ancients ?  Or could they have had other ones ?

Have you read "Forbidden Archaeology" published in San Diego ?

Have you ever read any of the books of Emmanuel Velikovsky ?
 wrote between 1945 and 1952 4 books.

What about Charles Fort ?  Ever read any of  his ?

Best wishes,

Dallas
