GREETINGS



FOR THE 



THEOSOPHICAL NEW YEAR, January 4th 2005





HPB wrote and said: 



"Let no one imagine that it is a mere fancy, the attaching of importance to
the birth of the year. The astral life of the earth is young and strong
between Christmas and Easter. Those who form their wishes now, will have
added strength to fulfill them consistently." ...Let no one mistake the
importance and potency of numbers--as symbols. Everything in the Universe
was framed according to the eternal proportions and combinations of numbers.
"God geometrizes," and numbers and numerals are the fundamental basis of all
systems of mysticism, philosophy, and religion. The respective festivals of
the year and their dates were all fixed according to the Sun--the "father of
all calendars" and of the Zodiac, or the sun-god and the twelve great, but
still minor gods..." HPB -- THE YEAR IS DEAD

"The 3rd day of the month was sacred to Pallas Athene, the goddess of
Wisdom; and January the 4th is the day of Mercury (Hermes, Budha), who is
credited with adding brains to the heads of those who are civil to
him...December the 25th was the day of the birth of the sun for those who
inhabited the Northern hemisphere..." ( - idem, p. 505 )





"According to our theosophical tenets, every man or woman is endowed, more
or less, with a magnetic potentiality, which when helped by a sincere, and
especially by an intense and indomitable will--is the most effective of
magic levers placed by Nature in human hands--for woe as for weal. Let us
then, theosophists, use that will to send a sincere greeting and a wish of
good luck for the new Year to every living creature under the sun...Let us
try and feel especially kind and forgiving to our foes and persecutors,
honest or dishonest..." HPB "1890" LUCIFER, Jan 1890, Vol. 5.,
p. 357.
