Theos-Talk Archives (March 2002 Message tt00035)

Brigitte,
Thanks. I will look forward to your further explanations. In the 
meantime I ask 
a few scattered catch up inquires from some earlier posts.

1. you mentioned the "Gnostic" Marcionites. I have a copy of the Gospel 
of 
Marcion, it is probably the earliest Gospel circa 140 AD. It is 
almost entirely
in agreement with the Canonical Gospels excepting that Marcion 
extracted 
all genealogies from it. To me at least it seems very much the same 
and I do
not perceive Gnostic derivatives in it such as their Symbols, 
Cosmology, or 
technical descriptions. In what way do you consider Marcion Gnostic?


2. In another post you reference a woman you name as Linda Thompson, 
saying
that she was organizationally a member connected to a group or 
groups having
radical right-wing tendencies and that she Authored and Produced a 
Documentary on Waco. As I read this I wondered has 
Brigitte confused two
different people here? I do not know of a Linda Thompson but am 
familiar with
the well known and published Author and Investigative Journalist, 
Television 
Producer, Multiple Emmy Award Winner Linda Moulton Howe who did 
Produce 
a PBS documentary on Waco. Which is which?


3. As the Central sun and my earlier replies Of course the Black Hole
article was just to clear the air and separate mundane and 
esoteric. The 
reference I gave which I called the Midnight Sun (my own peculiar 
preference)
is based upon my own Noetic experience itself.


4. As to "Materialization," they do happen, once I placed a coin 
that had allegedly been materialized under a stereo zoom 
microscope and carefully
scanned and examined it methodically top to bottom, under the 
microscope
I was astonished by certain features it contained which could not 
be discerned
by the eye alone. I searched nuministic catalogues for 15 years 
for that coin,
and never found it to this day.

5. The causing of rain in a room or building is not restricted to 
the case of HPB alone, there was a much more recent manifestation 
in 1977 that I was made 
aware of.

6. In the case of Satya Sai Baba the distinction that is unique in 
his case is that
he is alleged to have materialized Gems that are permanent and 
not
momentary manifestations that quickly evaporate away. Howard Murphet
publishes as a Theosophist his personal observance and continued 
possession
of the Gem manisfested by Satya Sai Baba. As Sai Baba as known to 
have been materializing and manifesting solid material Gems that 
appear to be a
transmorgrification of elements handy such as the sands on the 
shore of a river, and giving them away freely without price to those 
whom he chooses to, 
for decades, certainly neither the amazing Randy or a David 
Copperfield could afford to
follow in his footsteps by producing large Carat Gems by sleight 
of hand and giving them away to $5.00 ticket audience members, if 
so the capital process
would shortly bankrupt them would it not?
