Dear Dallas
Would you please post a "snip" from my posting as I am having trouble following your threads. My recent threads have been on The Dweller, The Prateyka Buddhas, the Sun and its relationship to Soul.
Thanks Cass

This is an attempt to place events and personages within various accepted

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.

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 )



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: 


2. Karma, 

3. the ideal of Human Brotherhood 

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.
