Theos-Talk Archives (December 2001 Message tt00382)

Dear Friend:

If you study The SECRET DOCTRINE you will find that the SWASTIKA
( a symbol that signifies the vortical motion of all forms and
things, is a very ancient Hindu symbol and has an antiquity of
well over a million years.

Also the Nazis reversed it and had it running counter clockwise.
This is significant.

I see no reason to abandon a valuable and ancient symbol simply
because it has recently been abused.

Hi Jeff,

This is a view - to answer your question:

Yes.

Do good. Be good. Think good. See good.
This is good.
This is wisdom.

But a galaxy is looking much like that same symbol - and that
doesn't give a jerk - right ? The symbol - is in fact a symbol
for a galaxy.
So is it prejudice - which gives one a jerk - is it fear ? Fear
of what? Or is it ignorance?

I think that ignorant people sometimes are - not ready - to
understand what Theosophy is - and I mean what it really is. Not
ready.

The theosophists - the wisdom-religion - came BEFORE - the
Nazis - with their own special logo.
The Nazis has damaged the Theosophists and their good cause - for
global peace, global friendship, global universal society or
community - or life of wisdom on God or gods. Theosophy.

Should Theosophists just give up their logo - because the Nazis
came ?
I think no !
