Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01153)

I am still here...

I am interested in fruitful activities.
Are you not?

What theosophical books with have you read with great impact?
What emails have you been reading?

Have you been reading The Secret Doctrine?
Or are you reading the Aura instead?


I started in a young age with the writings of
- Cyril Scott "The Initiate" (the Trilogy)
- Baird T. Spalding "Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East " 5 or 
6 volumes
- Paul Brunton and Ramana Maharishi and their writings
- Blavatsky
- Alice A. Bailey
- Also Arthur E. Powell, CWL and Annie Besant (But these contain a lot of 
faults)
- and more

It was Spalding and Brunton who helped me through the first breakthrough.
I can easily recommend, that the eager student compares Bruntons' and 
Spaldings writings with the theosophical ones.
It could be a fruitful activity.

A book like "The Holy Blood and The holy Grail" read together with "The 
People of the Secret" might also help some of you.
Later I was for a short while aware of the Akasha Library of this Planet. 
Today I am not really aware of it.


Worth a try is also
"THE MANIPULATED MIND Brainwashing, Conditioning and Indoctrination" by
