Theos-Talk Archives (November 2002 Message tt00346)

Hi Dallas and all of you,

I will have to suggest, that the issue of avoiding "dead-letter" reading and
living would be given more importance,
when one just throws - numbers on cycles out to the more or less public
eyes.

Allright or ?

from
M. Sufilight with a hovering attitude...>:-)

> 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.
