Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00055)

Hi Dallas and all of you,

Yes.
The aim with this email is to be of help to the interested readers - nothing
else.

Yes.
And let us not either forget, that all writing -
INCLUDING those of W. Q. Judge's
have its audience, its time, its place and socalled teachers.

It is not preferable to all people to read
books and scriptures which contain
a single word like the word "Theosophy" or "Theosophical" in any sentence.
It is not preferable to some people in some countries to read
books at all - for a given period of time in their present lifes.
Aspirants aught to know about this.

This is true. This is also theosophical teaching - which have abandonned -
dead-letter attachments to
words like "Theosophy" and "Theosophical" as well as "esoteric" and
"esoterical" in their writings.
This has to do with understanding the language of Senzar.


Blavatsky in the book "The Secret Doctrine" says about the Christian Bible
and Senzar - the Mystery Language :

"But while supposing that the whole cycle of the universal mystery language
will not be mastered for whole centuries to come, even that which has been
hitherto discovered in the Bible by some scholars is quite sufficient to
demonstrate the claim -- mathematically. Judaism having availed itself of
two keys out of the seven, and these two keys having been now rediscovered,
it becomes no longer a matter of individual speculation and hypothesis,
least of all of "coincidence," but one of a correct reading of the Bible
texts, as anyone acquainted with arithmetic reads and verifies an addition
or total.* A few years longer and this system will kill the dead letter of
the Bible, as it will that of all the other exoteric faiths, by showing the
dogmas in their real, naked meaning.

And then this undeniable meaning, however incomplete, will unveil the
mystery of Being, besides changing entirely the modern scientific systems of
Anthropology, Ethnology and especially that of Chronology. The element of
Phallicism, found in every God-name and narrative in the Old (and to some
degree in the New) Testament, may also in time considerably change modern
materialistic views in Biology and Physiology.

Divested of their modern repulsive crudeness, such views of nature and man,
on the authority of the celestial bodies and their mysteries,

[[Footnote(s)]]

* All we have said in Isis is now found corroborated in the "Egyptian
Mystery; or The Source of Measures," by those readings of the Bible with the
numerical and geometrical keys thereto.

__________________________________________
I do like this quote. It is so true, that the dead-letter of the Bible will
be "killed".

Hopefully also the so ever dangerous use of "Phallic" versions.
Alice A. Bailey's heavy use of the word "he" about spiritual deities named
"God", "The Almighty" etc. -
should not either be passed by in mere silence.
__________________________________________

Let us remember - that a comprehensive world-view is important.
The aspirant should be given a world view - and not a nationalistic or a
narrowminded - cult-like-centered version of Theosophy !
(Sometimes - I get shivers up and down my spine because this place
Theos-talk - is so limited - in its allowed use of expression. This forums
Files-section, Databse-section, Photo-section are not available to the
members.
Why ??? Is this an expression of true Theosophy ??? This I would like to
have a clear answer on.)
The aspirant aught to be given a fair view of the other branches of
Theosophy - including branches not of the dead-letter.
The aspirant aught to be encouraged to study the different viewpoints and
teachings within Theosophy and outside the "Theosophy" of the dead-letter.
For instance those which we - i.e. all the members of Theos-Talk - are
presenting.



"It is only when the desire for knowledge and understanding becomes as
effective as the craving for emotional stimulus that the individual becomes
accessible to change, to knowledge, to more than a very little
understanding."
