Theos-Talk Archives (October 2000 Message tt00289)

To All the interesting contributors of the Dialog:

I seldom put in my 2 cents worth as I so enjoy reading the many 
worthy 
posts made here. Especially the new contributor "Katarc". But I am 
moved to propose a view. H.P.B. and the Mahatmas and the ancient
resources postulated the 7 fold Economy or constitution of the Being.
My observation is that is is a Dynamic Manifold Economy that extends
beyond the Personal and also operates at the other scales of Mankind.

When H.P.B. passed from the Earth essential the "Atmic and Buddhic"
vehicles of Theosophy were Inhibited and my observation was that what 
of 
Theosophy that remained carried out the predictable reorganization along
the lines of the Affinities that were the Dominants of 
Individuals--schisms 
developed and new Lodges appeared that ordered their focus to the 
collective
affinities of the members and those whose requirement internals 
necessitated
a more dominant attention and recognition of Christian Belief reordered 
the new
Dispensation. Alice Baily. Leadbetter, and others issued a new view 
aligning to a 
Western society. Some formed the Hermes Lodge in London and decried what 
the 
other "Vehicles" were doing. I see that much like the Economy of Being 
they 
grouped together, those with the "Astral Body" strong adopted teachings 
that 
pleasured that vehicles affinities and others grouped to the "Kama Body" 
and 
it's dominant affinities. Others aligned to the "Manas" and taught 
Intellectual 
content. There were several Transformation in the Decades that followed 
each
seemed to manifest the nature of the "Vehicles" as a Diaspora consequent 
to 
Madam Blavatsky's passing. I see the same function happen to Nations,
Political Parties, Corporations on various Dynamic levels. Perhaps if we 
reflect on 
The 7-Fold Economy more we might understand the ground we stand on common
to us all.
