Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00060)

Hi
I donīt underestimate it.
Apparently.
If I underestimated it I wouldīnt be studying it.
What I meant is that otherwise I find too curious to find people so sceptical in such a list.
Today technology and capitalist system has created an overvaluated cult of physical senses.
Examples?
You need a highfidelity system to listen to a FM radio with dozens of memories, a dolby 5.1 channel to watch a home video, techno religions, an internet-connected cellphone, plactic surgery to increase your self-esteem, desktop printers with 5,000 dots per inch resolution, digital cams with 15 Megapixels,thousands of recipes to prepare lamb, pork, crustaceans, satellite-guided automobiles, war guns and technomissiles and the list of techno amenities goes endlessly.
Our 5 senses are overcharged, overvaluated, people need always more and more proofs and the more you prove, the more you want, because the true proof,the one which can make you believe and change your mind is not acquired by these sences modern life worship, but the inner sense.
I may seem to defend living in caverns as our primitive "descendants" , oh that no, I enjoy technology comfort and cannot live far from my computer, but my point of view is that we are more materialist than ever before.
If suddently men started using technology to discover the reality in the principles and mysteries of matter transformation other than atomic reactions, and the pluralitiy of planes/dimensions of existences...it would be quitemore constructive.

I think you underestimate the effect Blavatsky and the Theosophical 
Society has had on the world. The world would have been so different had 
she not been around that an analogy could not even be drawn.
