Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00368)

Funny, I thought that Occultism taught that there is no such thing as past and future other than reflections or projections, that all there really is, is the Now.

If we keep looking back to the past we will act in the past. Surely it is better to let go of the old ideas?   If we live in the Now, we can create a new future.  If we live in the past all we do is recreate it.

Terrorism is merely the religious virus propagating and multiplying itself over and over causing cancers in our morality.

 Past, present and future form a continuum, as Occultism teaches us.
 
 Last week-end I delivered a seminar on Deep Ecology and Sustainable Development in the Building of the Next Civilization, in Belo Horizonte, a State Capital one hour by plane from Bras�lia. In my several books already published, I have discussed  pretty much the future, as well as the present of our civilization.   Yet we do need to understand the past in order not to repeat the same old mistakes. I usually discuss central elements in the acumulated experience of the last 2,500 years. 
 
 Speaking of the interaction between past and present: the WWII, for instance, has more than one aspect to be understood yet. Look at the Gaza Strip, at Lebanon, and at Israel, right now, July 18.  Present moment challenges involving Neo-Nazism, Terrorism and War  has a lot to do with Theosophy as Theosophy is about compassion and planetary citizenship, and it is a decisive factor to open a way out of these obstacles. 
 
 Having at least respect for the Messengers helps the connection between Mankind and the sacred sources of inspiration.  Slandering them does the opposite. 
 
 Regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline
