Theos-Talk Archives (April 2000 Message tt00054)

Interesting you should mention, "occult," for, even in looking at the word itself, one can glean
what it is that HPB may have wanted us to see.

Think of the equation e=mc^2, not so much in terms of energy being proportional to
mass but in terms of an experience.  We experience something when there appears
to be mass.  We feel an object or its resistance to change when we push against it.
The same holds true for our attachment to certain thoughts.  But what happens when
nothing is the matter?  One knows from experience that the fastest surf vehicle available
is an air mattress not even half full, the more nothing between those two pieces of nylon
the better.  From reading and research, if not from actual experience, one sees that when
nothing really is the matter, the experience appears to be that of light omnidirectionally or,
c^2.

Occult

O = Nothing is the matter

cc = c^2 the experience

ult

After "ascending" so to speak, detached completely from the space-time continuum, to the experience
of c^2, the individual may choose to descend once more to help.

And, then again, it's just a belief.

Spencer


BTW,  the quote from HPB in my previous response is from Pg. 579
of Book I - Part III of the Secret Doctrine.
