Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt00075)

Hi Tom,

We hacked over that on the Theos-talk forum a couple of years ago and no one 
came up with anything. I suspect that the book would be too valuable a 
souvenir, especially with its margin notes, to leave in any theosophical library (I 
know I would have taken it home with me ;-). So, although I apparently heard 
about it from a supposedly reliable eye witness (at least as far as I am 
concerned) -- and as claimed by Sylvia Cranston in her HPB biography -- the 
verifiable "proof" of its existence, or where it might be located, is still up in 
the air. 

In any event, in my long study of the SD, as well as Einstein's writings to 
various scientists, I know that his mentor, Robert Millikan was a theosophist 
and that he probably introduced Einstein to the SD when he was around 19 years 
old. According to my studies -- verified by physicist Richard Feynman -- that 
was the only way Einstein could have "directly intuited" E=mc^2 at that 
time... Since, according to Feynman, there was no other previous developments in 
physics that would give any justification for or support it, and it took 
Einstein a number of years afterward to develop the tensor calculus to prove it 
mathematically. 

So his intuition (triggered by the SD) then stood in the same relationship to 
the classical Newtonian science of his day as my ABC theory (similarly 
extracted and compacted from the SD) stands with respect to the conventional modern 
physical science of today... As the simplest and most direct way to fully 
explain the relationship between consciousness (awareness-will) and matter 
(coadunate but not consubstantial mass-energy fields), the working of the mechanisms 
that link them together, as well as their interdependent origin, involution 
and evolution... In other words, a reasonable and logical unified field theory 
of everything (including psi phenomena). 

Now, all we have to do is develop the mathematics to explain it 
scientifically, and devise experiments to finally prove it. For this, we can use all the 
help we can get... Because, after those "proofs" -- the entire world will know 
that everything said about theosophy in the SD and other writings of HPB are 
true (including reincarnation and karma)... And, that should, after awhile, 
be able to help put this currently screwed up world back on track. ;-)

Best wishes,

Leon
