Can you commence reading ISIS UNVEILED ? Preface / BEFORE THE VEIL
gives instances.

Also in SECRET DOCTRINE Preface gives more.

Would you like to receive a chronological list of evidence ? I have one
it is about 40 pages and would give details?


Best wishes

The Work of Adepts

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 record
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;  

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
circumstances can be traced to choices made earlier;
 
3. the ideal of Human Brotherhood is not a myth but a solid fact 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.

Subject: RE: Egyptian Hierophant Pot-Amun

Hi everybody,

Well I am making a research about the origins of
Theosophy. Except the information that Blacatsky gives
about an Egyptian Hierophant called Pot-Amun, is there
any historical information about this Hierophant that
I could find? 

Best Regards,

Erica
