Dear Hoku and Friends:

There seems to be a universal philosophy or perhaps we can call
it a statement of th laws and rules of evolution which
encompasses all the ancient philosophies and religions.

When several of these are traced back to the SOURCE teachings of
their founders they will be found to agree on the GENERAL AND
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES.

here are some of them:

Subject: Theos-World A Starting Place

To Anyone Who Can Help:

I've been reading the posts and following the links provided, but
as
I am very new to Theosophy I can't seem to wrap my mind around
most
of it and would like to ask for some guidance from the group as
to
where is the best place to begin. There are so many books on the
subject but one can't read all of them at once and I do believe
in
order to be able to comprehend fully everything there must be a
preferred starting place. Although I am quite familiar with the
ancient philosophers, it's been awhile since I read their works
and
am afraid I've forgotten much of it; however, like languages, I
believe if I am guided to a beginning much of it will return to
me
piecemeal. So, please, if one of you would kindly suggest a few
good
books to get me rolling I would be most appreciative. Perhaps a
good "glossary" would be in order as well, as some of the terms
I've
read here are quite unfamiliar to me. I must admit I've not gone
through the entire message list because I thought that would be
rather useless until I had a substantial foundation.
