Dear Friends Arturo, and LMH,


May I break in with a few observations, as


Your questions are very interesting. Have you a "source"
quotation for them?

According to my study of Theosophy let me put in some
observations below in the body of your letter

"Doesn't theosophy teach
that the "Mother source" of all universal energy (Kundalini) is
within each
of us?

DTB	Where is this said? Kundalini Sakti is mentioned once in
the S.D. (I - 273-4) and not much is given by H.P.B. on it
directly.. There must be a god reason for this. The "yogic"
teachers of India dwell much on this, but why, and what do they
direct the attention of students to? Also they demand fees for
spiritual instruction. That alone ought to be a sign of caution
as SPIRITUAL POWERS are NEVER for SALE. They are only obtained
by the knowledge of, and practice, every moment of the day and
night of VIRTUE.
Theosophy draws the attention of all students to SPIRITUAL PURITY
and not to the attainment of "Powers," which might be abused
psychically for selfish benefit. This does not please all, who,
drawn to the mystic side of Theosophy and Hinduism, decide to
attain powers and then decide on how to use them. If one reads
THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE carefully one is able to discern why and
how THEOSOPHY indicates that the harmless Path -- that of SERVICE
and generosity and obeying the LAW of KARMA, are first to be
attained.

Doesn't Raja Yoga meditation, as Patanjali teaches, show us (by
direct
experience) that we can attain all these states of awareness
while still
awake -- even to the experience of "isolation" (or Samhadi) in
the
zero-point itself? Much food for thought (and meditation) here,
I would think."

DTB	If one reads carefully PATANJALI'S YOGA-SUTRAS and the Notes
appended to them by Mr. W. Q. Judge, one will be able to grasp
how the "Path of the SPIRITUAL" practice is to be understood and
applied.
NO one will ever be granted real POWER without their first having
attained and proved by trial that they are HARMLESS to all LIFE
and to all other BEINGS. If one looks up the nature and ritual
of INITIATION in the S.D. one will soon find out that the ancient
rites in Egypt, Chaldea and India were based on the firm
acquisition of VIRTUE and never are those "POWERS" granted to
those who retained the slightest part of selfishness and vice,
and selfishness.


The Kingdom of God is within, the Adept Jesus taught long time
ago, and so
the Masters have taught us all this time.

DTB	If we desire to be and act as GODS, then the whole UNIVERSE
IS OPEN TO US. But there is this precedent condition: One has
to transform himself or herself into a totally harmless universal
being. One has to become a SERVANT OF KARMA and a servant to the
least Monad or Life-atom. Only this and nothing else will open
the doors to TRUTH and RIGHT LIVELIHOOD -- and so the Buddhas
have always declared.
There has always been in existence one school of disciples who
have undertaken this line of discipline, under the watchful eyes
of the Adepts and the Mahatmas. One need only read carefully
MAHATMA LETTERS as well as H.P.B.'s LETTERS TO Mr. A. P. SINNETT
to realize this is ever the sole criterion that opens doors to
the future of a true disciple of THE LAW.

Kundalini is the sleeping serpent
waiting to be awaked, and it will raise in 33 stepts to the Crown
of Glory
and Awareness, and then we might be able to understand who really
we are, we
are awake forevermore. Our Lord Buddha, after defeating Mara,
understood
what lies behind ilussion. Us, students and Buddha in the making,
we are
still behind the veil. To think otherwise is one more illusion.

DTB	Buddha has always defeated the MARA-Tempter of the selfish
personality that resides with SPIRIT side by side as MATTER
within the MONADIC egg. Each one of us has both BUDDHA and MARA
resident in us., But there is a 3rd factor to be recognized:
there is also MANAS the Mind. It is directly related to the
SOURCE OF ALL : the ABSOLUTE. Therefore it is always able to
perceive the interactions of SPIRIT and MATTER outside as well as
inside all beings
During Manifestation we have active :1
1.. a vast sea of MONADS who are learning the LAWS OF NATURE.
2. We have those MONADS like the Buddhas, and the Dhyan
Chohans, and the "Builders" or "Cosmocratores" who have made
themselves "successful" in the fight for the GOAL OF LIFE -- or
Soul Immortality., and
3.	We have psycho-mental humanity encased in a sentient form
physically (you and me) who are striving to make of our PSYCHIC
NATURE a well regulated and MENTALLY LOGICAL SPIRITUAL BUDDHA.
We are the Eternal pupils -- the ETERNAL PILGRIMS.
This is what I am getting from a study of Theosophy and THE
SECRET DOCTRINE.
Best wishes,
Dallas
====================================

Thanks LMH for really trying to 'grasp' reality with the
mind..but in my
opinion it will never work, the Way of the Heart taught by HPB
and the
Mahatmas is the way. The Kingdom of God is not in our minds, but
in our
hearts. This does not mean we ought to stop TRYING to understand
Life
Mysteries..no, by all means.
Arturo
