Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00323)

Cass, please note what Gottfried von Purucker said in a lecture:

1. "Later we may have to go into this subject more profundly, and we shall 
see that these tales of diabolical persecution by the pagans, and of such 
sweet-spirited serenity and willing martyrdom by the Christians are largely, 
like so much else, faked testimony."
- Purucker: Word Wisdom, p. 130

2. "... you will remember that the Christians adopted a great many of the 
mystical ideas of the Jews in founding their faith..."
- op. cit., p. 119

The early "church fathers" knew perfectly that the bible stories were not 
real history, but foremost allegorical descriptions of the soul development.
The later church - which the alleged son of God never wanted to launch - has 
forgotten the higher insights of its half initiated fathers and was 
descending down to blind believe, brain mind conclusions, dead letter 
interpretation.

It seems that Anand admires these spiritual descent to dead letter. Pukka 
theosophy is a good antidot against this mental confusion.

They became martyrs because they were slaves and dispensible at that period 
of time

And why did thousands of people become martyrs to spread the Bible teaching? 
People don't sacrifice handkerchief to spread Blavatsky's writing.
