Theos-Talk Archives (November 2002 Message tt00337)

Nov 14 2002

Dear Friends:

The enclosed gives a general survey of persons, societies etc... on
which Theosophy has had an impact or which served as the vehicles for
Theosophical thought in the past. If one looks closely the cycles of
thought can be traced.

It is incomplete and is being modified or added constantly

If you have any suggestions

Thanks,

Dallas

A THEOSOPHICAL VIEW OF CHRONOLOGY
__________


Note

This is an attempt to place events and personages within various
accepted and Theosophical time-frames. It is hoped that it will help
in observing evidence of the Wise Men and Sage Adepts of the past at
work.

It will help the compilers if you would contribute any corrections or
additions to this growing project, as a result of your own study and
use of this list.

Most time references are based on the periods that HPB has given us
in either Isis or The S.D., or in her articles. This is under active
completion and verification, hence, you will be asked to
excuse some errors that will be found, and invited to draw the
attention of the compilers to corrective facts.

Verifying dates have occasionally been secured from Encyclopedia
Britannica and other sources, and those have been added to those
secured from Theosophical sources. If uncertain : c / ? .

A THEOSOPHICAL VIEW OF CHRONOLOGY

Introduction


The sub-title given to this survey indicates the attention that H. P.
Blavatsky paid to the historical, factual aspect, of the records of
the Adepts. ( SD I 272 )

One of the factors faced in the effort to redirect a vision of the
scope of time past is the tendency, inherited from theological views
in the West, which tend to foreshorten history and dwarf the periods
of evolution that are a part of the lore of ancient nations especially
in the East, in their estimates or records concerning pre-historical
eras and epochs, and events which they recorded.

This present list considers time periods given in records preserved by
the Great Lodge of Adepts, from which HPB gives fragments of data
relating to vast achievements in the Past--and records or reports of
its arts, sciences, technologies, buildings, chronologies, astronomy,
and a thousand other indications, which tend to show that we are, in
our present whirl of research, retracing the patterns of that past,
and adding to the testimony that increasingly validates it.

Students of Theosophy take into account certain foundational concepts,
such as :--

1. Reincarnation: that we are essentially in our spiritual,
natures,
immortals, and have lived many lives on this Earth;. We were present
in the ancient civilizations.

2. that Karma, the law of justice and of fairness to all
beings (from
the atom to Galaxy) is The Law for every aspect of the Universe; and
that it consists of an harmonic balance at all points; so that all
present circumstances can be traced to choices made earlier;

3. the ideal of Human Brotherhood is not a myth but a solid
fact
based on the common immortality of the Spiritual Person presiding in
each of us, and, as science and psychology demonstrate daily that we
share in each other, as in all aspects of Nature; and finally,

4. There is an actual, a Universal All--an Encompassing Unity
(or
Causation), which forms the living and sensitive base for all
evolution and all individual consciousness.

A factor that serves to make the Universe, evolution, and man's
independence valuable, is the fact that it is, in reality, a vast
school. Every being (from the imponderable atom to the utmost reaches
of Space, is an entity, an immortal and conscious "something" (perhaps
a "pupil" of more or less advancement in the vast scheme. It is an
index of the intelligence that is innate in every life-atom that makes
cooperation with every other being possible, e.g., we could consider
cellular cooperation in our body, where some 100 trillion cells (made
up of an incredible amount of atoms and molecules) coordinate to give
us a physical basis of life and consciousness.

The objects of the Theosophical Movement are:--

1. To form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity
without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color;

2. The study of ancient and modern religions, philosophies and
sciences and the demonstration of the importance of such
study; and

3. The investigation of the unexplained laws of Nature and the
psychical powers latent in man.
