Dear fellow theosophists,

Happy New Year 2000 and thereafter.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Eldon for the great
work of managing
the mailing list and the e-magazine ‘theos-world.’ It is nice to
have an avenue
to share theosophy, even though most of us just read the posts,
which is OK too.

I would like to thank Dallas for the immense amount of research
information and
personal wisdom he shares constantly with us, unconditionally,
and sometimes for
people who attack him for the very act of keeping the focus on
theosophical
literature.

To Daniel, for keeping us informed on the Theosophical Movement
and its roots.
Let’s face it, being theosophist also means, I think, knowing
about its history.
The point is ‘there’ in its history is where we find its
purposes, its ups and
downs ( how difficult is to deal with humans), how theosophy is
reflected in the
world. Non theosophists’ comments and critics are gems too.

To Nicholas W. for the few posts that were reminders to
experience the
‘Emptiness’ which is more important than its description and
study.  Perhaps
only a "few real mystics in the Theosophical Society"  will
understand and
appreciate his comments and are on the steps of the Path "beyond
which stretch
the shoreless water of Akshara, the indestructible Fount of
Omniscience."

Also to Dara for offering her home, year after year, for
theosophical studies
and gatherings, keeping the link alive.

To Wes  A. for accepting the task of sharing theosophy in
uncharted waters. Good
luck my brother.

To all of you who share with your keyboards, thoughts and
hearts…Theosophy is
greater than books and email.  Theosophy is found everywhere
someone practices
theosophy.  As Leon M. expressed recently in, the mere fact that
HPB issued the
last 2 objects to the world set in motion the keynote for
scientific
investigation in all fields.

I hope this year and the many to come will bring to us the spirit
of sharing
theosophy without the fanaticism that separates; that we may
truly discover and
share the essence all religions, not in words but as a direct
apprehension of
the great Truth.  Theosophy is not better than … nor greater
than …,  because
Theosophy is the accumulated wisdom gathered by the Great
Brotherhood of Adepts
and does not mix with the gross or exoteric forms of religions.
But all of us
regardless of the chosen path or yoga need to move from words to
experiencing
directly the mystical, non-dual Atman (Higher Self), or Brahman
(be it of as a
theophanic experience, or Theos with attributes),  or Emptiness
(attributeless
All or Void).

>From my heart:  may Love, Compassion and Goodness reign in your
heart,


Martin
