Dear "Nos"

Aldous Huxley's THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY is an interesting
survey.

But it is not THEOSOPHY in the sense that the KEY TO THEOSOPHY
(HPB) or The SECRET DOCTRINE is.

If you are going to discuss Theosophy, then a knowledge of the
main ideas and doctrines would be useful -- or, there will be
much exposed at cross-purposes.

It is usually "polite" to give some response or acknowledgement
to another's efforts. At least I think so. Of what use is an
expression of opinion if it falls on "deaf ears," or no pen can
be raised to respond?

I agree that no one's view of TRUTH need be a matter of
acceptance. But any one's opinions or expression of logic as
they see it, can be responded to for mutual benefit.

Can we use the word NATURE to signify the whole of manifestation
and all the rules and laws that support the invisible worlds of
FORCE whereby the physical and superficial apearance of things is
described and explained?

Best wishes,

Dallas

|Dear Nos.
|
|I write because these themes interest me and I have been at it
|for over 60 years trying to verify the accuracy of this system
|we name today THEOSOPHICAL.

Not be rude - I didn't ask why - just how you got the time to
write so
much - do you get any carpel tunnel syndrome or RSI? I do and I
would
write perhaps a tenth of your content a day and given you've been
doing
it for 60 years I suspect I am much younger as well! Is there a
Herb
you would recommend that would alleviate this?

|You ask about the MAHATMA LETTERS -- I would say that their
|value is interior to them. do they make sense (in whole or in
|part)? To whom were they sent, for what occasion or reason? I
|notice that they seem to bridge some of the many gaps our
|Science leaves open or has only been able to theorize about.

Sorry - Wasn't me that asked!

|case] [see ISIS UNVEILED Vol. II pp 97-103]

Um, yep...


Do you think a question should 'elicit' a response?

|Is what is offered there true?

How does one ascertain what is true?

|Has anyone other ideas that might be valid?

??

|Does it assist our Science in defining the laws and processes
|found in nature?

Laws and Processes are 'best fits' - see 'Superforce' - Paul
Davies

|
|How did they get into Nature anyway? and, what is Nature as a
whole?

Nature implies something Natural and hence something unnatural
and also
something supernatural - no?

|Are there these mysterious 10 and 7 planes said to be interior
|to the physical? Have you looked in The SECRET DOCTRINE at
|Vol. I pp 157, 181, 200, 242-6, II 596 and in the KEY TO
THEOSOPHY
|(HPB) see pp. 91-2, 135-6, 175-6, and intervening dialog.

To my understanding the planes are all mental constructs in an
absract
sense - ratiocination if you will - ideas are the child of
thought -
thought is a vibration - vibration is motion - trith lies in the
STOPPED
moment - ie no vibration - no thought.....



DTB	AGREED == THEY ARE FROZEN as matters o description but it is
also recognized they continue reacting and changing.



All classification systems are mans boundary creation -
converting
analogue to digital - they are a 'best-fit' - close and good
enough for
discussion but not TRUTH.

DTB	AGREED



The seat of the godhood in the pineal gland using force of will
controls
a host of elements - the elements are all electrical particles
and hence
vibratory - they exist in the universal mental matrix.

DTB	WHY MAKE IT PHYSICAL? HOW COULD THAT BE PROVED ? What is
behind the point of physical matter -- the gland -- that we call
the PINEAL ? Why not the physical HEART ?



|What are its rules and regulations?

Have you seen the film the Matrix? The rules only apply if you
think
they do ;)

DTB	THIS WELL APPLIES TO THE PERSONALITY. The INDIVIDUALITY
(held to be permanent and universal-based, draws on UNIVERSAL
constants.


|How does the Mental faculty relate and or attach itself to
|then brain and the physical man?

A complex array of ineracting electro-magnetic fields converging
through
an analogue spectrum into biological chemical reactions with the
physical construct of the brain. ?
DTB	AGREED -- BUT WHO WERE THEY SET UP? AND How are they
presently maintained?



|Are DESIRES, PASSIONS, VIRTUES, VICES expressions of
actualities?

Or actualaties expressions of DESIRES, PASSIONS, VIRTUES, VICES

|What is the actual PSYCHOLOGY of humans?

Fallen Gods who can't face the truth?

DTB	AND WHAT CAUSED THEM TO FALL? from where to where?




|Where does a life end? what final summation is there for our
living?

None?

|Why is it that children from an early age exhibit their own
|characteristics in the areas of the physical strength and
|resistance to disease?

Body Type (pita, Vata Kapha - Peken, Tripa, Bile?) - Mother's
Milk .
Astrological influence. DNA corruption through oxidants,
corrosives and
electro-magnetic radiation?

DTB	NOT PROVEN ANSWERS BUT MIGHT SPECULATIVE


|In Mind and the power to learn and to reason?

Sorry rephrase?

|Are the "desires and passions" truly a separate group from the
|thoughts and the reasonings?

Nothing is separate from anything else...

|What propels us to inquire into these things?

The Mote in God's Eye

|Can our findings provide a change of direction to our aims in
life?

After Gnosis yes....
