Theos-Talk Archives (August 2000 Message tt00023)

    Hello, I am trying to be ontouch on my theos lists,
a lot to read from older mailists, some of the subjects very interesting,
I will try to get on the subjects discusion:

    And here is something interesting from Paul Johnson, talking about interpretation of religions and myths:

> IMO, HPB's cosmology is, despite its mythopoetic language, recognizably 
> akin to the contemporary scientific understanding whereas her anthropology, 
> despite its seeming aura of scientific exactitude, bears next to no 
> relationship to anything science has uncovered about human origins. Instead 
> it's full of mythos misconstrued as logos.

    Yes. being a scientist has make me think everything with a dubtious caution. At the same time that i do not agree with the sceptic maniac craze scientists that deny everything that escapes to their comprension, i find some H.P.B. ideas about evolution, not deniable at all, but product of her active interaction with the science ambient of her time. the wide discusion of evolutionistic matters is a good example.
    I find her point of view of man's origins more close to the controversial darwinistic surround, she didn't refuse all Darwin, but instead give us another point of view about possible origins of man, the lemurian and atlantic origins quite reasonable, and a good interpretation of old myths. Today, archeology finds older and older origins of manhood, and tries to research in the faraway points (Like Peru - Tiahuanaco, some Pacific ocean islands and looks that is another origins besides Africa) some of them mentioned in Blavatsky's research and understanding of antique legends of mankind.
    Probably it could be found soon some of the old ruins of Atlantis in the Bimini islands coasts and gulf of México, you'll never know.
        That will make me very happy. i hope it can be find soon.
