June 15, 2018 Weekly Theme for Contemplation: The Cell

June 11, 2018 Theme for Contemplation: The Cell

The whole human body is . . . a vast sounding board, in which each cell bears a
long record of impressions connected with its parent organ, and each cell has a
memory and a consciousness of its kind, or call it instinct if you will.
— H. P. BLAVATSKY

‘Theosophy, as already said, is the WISDOM-RELIGION.’
(The Key to Theosophy, p 13)

Theosophy, we say, is not a Religion.

Theosophy, we say, is not a Religion. Yet there are, as every one knows, certain beliefs, philosophical, religious and scientific, which have become so closely associated in recent years with the word “Th…[Read more]

“Why is it important not to call theosophy a religion?”

Perhaps the first question could be;

Why did the Maha Chohan write … ‘the Theosophical Society was chosen as the corner stone, the foundation of the future religion of humanity.’

Although that idea appears to have been scrapped by 1925 due to all the splits etc.

Is this a declaration of Self-Reliance?
Gerry Kiffe replied to the topic Theosophical Tenets: Cycles in the forum Key Concepts Study Group 1 week, 6 days ago

When we talk about civilizations being built on the wreckage of previous civilizations are we really just noticing the natural evolution of cycles? Perhaps old forms must come to pass to make room for new ones.
Gerry Kiffe replied to the topic Weekly Theme for Contemplation: Buddhi-Manas in the forum Art of Living Study Group 1 week, 6 days ago

So we give it life by thinking about it? How might we use the imagination to make the idea of Buddhi-Manas alive for us?

June 4, 2018 Theme for Contemplation: Mental Adjustment

counteraction are not adopted. — Aphorisms on Karma

June 3, 2018 Theme for Contemplation: Buddhi-Manas

The Spirit (or Buddhi) is the centrifugal and the soul (Manas) is the centripetal
spiritual energy; and to produce one result they have to be in perfect union and
harmony. — H. P. BLAVATSKY

“What is Buddhi-Manas? How might we understand the idea so that it comes alive for us?”

Buddhi, also called the Spiritual Soul, is the sixth principle in our constitution, the vehicle for Atma or the Universal Spirit. Our thinking faculty (Mind) is either drawn by matter and passions or pulled by the Spirit. The former is kama – manas while the…[Read more]
Gerry Kiffe replied to the topic Theosophical Tenets: Cycles in the forum Key Concepts Study Group 2 weeks, 2 days ago

When we talk about cycles within cycles are we referring to the engines that drive the larger cycle? Might it be compared to a lot of small choices that lead to a big choice?
Gerry Kiffe replied to the topic Theosophical Tenets: Cycles in the forum Key Concepts Study Group 2 weeks, 2 days ago

That is a really interesting comment. Can you explain further why or how karma might slow or increase the pace of a cycle?

ModeratorTN replied to the topic The Gupta Vidya 2018 in the forum Secret Doctrine Study Group 2 weeks, 2 days ago

This is a corroboration of that which has been stated many times before, and, unfortunately, too indiscreetly. Instead of benefiting humanity, the virulent charges of deliberate invention and imposture with a purpose thrown at those who asserted but a truthful, if even a little known fact, have only generated bad Karma for the slanderers. But now…[Read more]
