Theos-Talk Archives (November 2011 Message tt00035)

Depends how you define a sect and I an interested to know how you have linked purification of the bodies with a sect. ÂDo you know what is meant by purification of the bodies?

>Theosophists or anyone for that matter must purify his bodies ready for the merge with atman.  The merging can only occur when there is an adept supervising and as the old saying goes, many believe they are chosen, but few are picked.

>>According to Shailendar Agarwal, a Theosophist: "The goal of every Theosophist is to merge with the atman. Theosophists like J Krishnamurthi and others were proven occultists but they never claimed to be so. Occultism comes into play when a Theosophist is in the process of purifying himself. Only certain Theosophists like Besant had the power to record the observations of experiments with occultism."

>>Besant and CWL did occult research on atom and their observations were

>>recent article by a well known Indian Scientist which appeared in an Indian
>>Newspaper. Here are two quotes:
>>
>>âAccording to M Srinivasan, former associate director of Bhabha Atomic
>>Research Centre, (BARC), "One important piece of work, which brings out the
>>extraordinary power of the human mind or consciousness in gaining 'direct
>>knowledge of reality,' as practised by the Indian sages was done by the
>>Theosophists Annie Besant and C W Leadbeater over a century ago. They
>>carried out clairvoyant investigations into the detailed structure of atoms
>>and nuclei.â
>>
>>âSrinivasan, a Theosophist, says, "Besant and Leadbeater have recorded that
>>an atom of the
>>smallest element Hydrogen comprised 18 UPAs while at the upper end, an atom
>>of the heaviest element Uranium comprised 4,267 UPAs. They clairvoyantly
>>discovered the existence of isotopes and published the atomic weight of all
>>the 92 naturally occurring elements and several of their isotopes correct
>>to the second decimal place." This was done five years before Aston
>>experimentally detected an isotope of Neon using his newly-invented
>>instrument or the mass spectrometer, and for which he was later awarded the
>>Nobel Prize. The observations of Besant and Leadbeater were published in
>>the first edition of the book, Occult Chemistry, in 1908.â
