Wrong. Theosophy accepts a war, in case it is
a just war.
A just war is a war in accordance with the
karmic law and with Brotherhood.
F.e. E.T.H[argrove] wrote in 1897:
"Under certain conditions war may therefore
be preferable to peace, if that peace be a
mere cloak to a seething mass of corruption,
the least effect of which is the maintenance
of vast standing armies composed of
the flower of a nation's life and manhood. It
all point once more to the duty of the
Theosophist to call attention to the causes
underlying all phenomena and
to the urgent necessity of teaching
Brotherhood in such a way that people will
come to see that selfishness is not only
wrong but is selfdestructive."
- "Theosophy" magazine, New York, Vol. XII,
April 1897, No. 1, p. 6.
In other words, if the most corrupt corrupt
and antidemocratic (against the highest
interest of the people) states of the world,
USA and Israel, which like a cancer ulcer
destroy the whole globe in the name of the
astral demon JHWH, were attacked from
a third party to destroy this evil-doing and
liberate humanity, it might be justified from
a theosophical point of view.
Similar Jospeh Fussell wrote in The
Theosophical Forum during WWII (around
1942) on the old art of leading a war. There
are times when war is justified and
there are times when war is not justified
(writing from memory, I need to refind the
page).
My private thesis based on primary sources:
Hitler knew of this old
doctrine, therefore his mass of altruistic
peace offers to the aggressors, esp.
during 1937-40, what Churchill wrongly
misunderstood as a sign of weakness.
Today this esoteric doctrine of when to dig
out the tomahawk and when to dig
it in seems to best lost. Obviously Clinton
(the satanic NATO massacres in the Kosovo),
Bush & Blair do know nothing of it.
Obviously the Skulls & Bones order is a
purely exoteric
organization (to say the least).
There were also Dalai Lamas in Tibet, which
are regarded as incarnations the
Buddha, which at times were leading war.
So it seems that Brotherhood in the
theosophical sense is not meant as
merely sentimentalism and pacifism.
Theosophist are no idiots and when attacked
must defend themselves.
To say it otherwise in the sense of Rudolf
Steiner, who was right on this point, the
present battle between the dark and the light
side is the decision between the anglo-saxony
mind of business and the German spirit of
idealism.
