Theos-Talk Archives (November 2003 Message tt00113)

I hope that many readers, especially newcomers
to theosophy, will find these two related articles
about "KARMA" in the "Letters-Questions-Comment"
question & answer department of THEOSOPHY magazine,
which is found in the "Additional" articles Index
page of my WisdomWorld.org web site, to be very
informative and useful.

These are the two questions about "karma" that are
answered in article numbers 21 & 22 that are so far
finished in the department (and the direct links to them):

=======================================================
(21) July 1964 [This Question is answered:
The fact that so few people are able to
"get behind" appearances -- either in
events or in men -- seems to be a
continuing cause of confusion. Is it
possible that a concept of Karma might
help one penetrate these outward appearances?]

[Note: This department was not in the August,
September, and October issues of THEOSOPHY magazine.]

(22) November 1964 [This Question is answered:
Last month's discussion of Karma raised some
further questions: If a person intends to set
forces in motion toward a specific end, to
initiate a certain kind of activity, how does
he know whether the motivation proceeds from
the "higher" or the "lower" man? Does one
cease to "make karma" by retiring from the
world? Does not undue solicitude about making
karma, either "good" or "bad," indicate a
lack of philosophic understanding of the Law?]

==============================================

Just in case you find the above links broken,
below is the link to the 13th of 18 sections
on the "Additional" articles Index page that
is entitled "NINE GROUPINGS OF ARTICLES FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE & ADULTS -- MOST OF WHICH ARE IN
"QUESTION & ANSWER" FORMAT". The link to the
Index page of the "Letters-Questions-Comment"
department is the 8th one. After you click on it
just scroll down the page to the 21st & 22nd articles

Dear newcomers to Theosophy:

I sincerely do hope that my web site offers
a well-rounded overall view of Theosophy and
the Theosophical Movement. The 3 main links
to everything on it are found below.

Please know that I'm only the compiler of
all the articles found on my web site; I'm
not a scholar; and also that I personally
do not like to take part in conversations,
even though I do hope that what I present
from time to time will help a little in
the discussions being carried on by others.
So please do not be insulted when I do not
respond if someone addresses me, or addresses
anything that is found in any of the articles
on my web site; I leave that for others to
deal with if they want to -- whether pro, con,
neutral, friendly or unfriendly.

You may find a great deal of the Truth that you
are searching for here:

WisdomWorld.org web site (Main Page):
http://www.wisdomworld.org

This is the Index page of the "Introductory",
"Setting the Stage" book, which was especially
compiled for newcomers to Theosophy:
http://www.wisdomworld.org/setting.html

The page where "Additional" articles are slowly
being added (which contains 18 sections that
can each be clicked on at the top of the page
in order to go directly down to them, as well
as to get the link to any particular section
that you may want to use in a posting on a
discussion board, or in an e-mail to someone):

"PUBLIC & PRIVATE ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT FORUM":
This next link is to the most updated version of my
economic proposal to humanity, a practical project
to help our suffering world that I also consider
to be Theosophical. In it you will find a new and
unique, but mostly unknown, economic system
model that might be able to put an end to involuntary
poverty on earth. How? It presents a way to fully
finance everything of importance that is needed
in every nation. Because of this it's well worth
pointing to. Please note that, for strategic
reasons, of wanting it to have the best chance
of being accepted by all peoples worldwide,
no matter what their religious, philosophical,
and scientific beliefs are, I've put it on a
completely different web site; it contains
no mention of, or link to, the Theosophy and
the Theosophical Movement that is presented
on my WisdomWorld.org web site:
