Thanks

Enjoyed the response.

Underlying all phenomena are the immutable and universal laws.
As a result the cooperative, sensitive and inter-active
UNIVERSE(including us) manifests.

What is our purpose? Learn and test and prove and demonstrate
the BASIC PRINCIPLES. Then make sure they are operating in all
aspects of our and other's lives.

Best wishes

Many quotations are not only striking, but very helpful too: I
think
our entire technology is based on the past sayings and writings.
Probably the entire earthly civilization is based on quotations.
But
tecnology is not a static wisdom and it has no applications that
do
not change to be even better and more functional and helpful to
all.
(well, operating systems maybe, but... ;)

Technology proceeds as old quotations are proven partially or
fully
wrong, and replaced by a new and better wisdom. Now everybody
starts
quoting this new wisdom, because it is proven to be superior
compared
to the old. I think therefore that EXPERIENCE and TESTING is
essential
to find out whether the present quotations should be forgotten or
supported.

Mathematics is a sum of quotations proven right. Physics have
their
quotations which serve us good. Psychology has some quotations
which
may help some but not all. Medical science has it's own
quotations
which have lessened much suffering. And the list about quotes
doing
good is almost infinitive. (And so is the list of quotes doing
very
bad almost infinitive, because almost every quote can be used for
good
or bad.)

Spirituality, or theosophy is a science that has quotes far more
difficult to be proven by an average man. To few, theosophy has
it's
all wisdom proven and interwoven into their personal and
collective
existences. I quess for them, theosophy is not a collection of
quotes,
but simply "Life as it is", "My Life", "The Life" or just "I".

To many, theosophy has not many visible effects, and thus it's
vast
content is still waiting to be proven. When I read about Solar
Angels
and Cosmic Stuff, I can't do anything but confess that such
information is QUITE USELESS to me in my present state of
evolution.
Yes, fun it may be to ponder "the things I don't sense", but the
practical implementation of this kind of information might be
impossible to create.

co-studied.

Funny thing about this theosophy is, that everything I read and
understand, I have understanded it before I read it. And
everything I
don't understand, I haven't yet experienced it. I like to quote
phrases, that I have proven to be true by my own experience. I
rarely
quote anything directly, but rather I offer the old quote and my
experience combined. Thus producing wisdom that is living,
extending,
proven and true. Like theosophy itself.
