"When it comes to the possibility of 'reincarnating,' it is probably far more comfortable to live with just a suspicion you simply can't shake rather than a fully proclaimed certainty you don't dare disturb."—General Theosophy

"I fear death less than I fear the fear of death."—General Theosophy

"Personal meditative experiences which become increasingly 'subtle' or 'Undifferentiated' may also be justifiably termed 'Spiritual' or even 'Divine' . . . irrespective of whether there are any atheists around who might immediately try to disqualify such usage . . . perhaps because it lacks the easily assailable anthropomorphism which normally at least gives them something to talk about. . . ."—General Theosophy

"As one gets older, life should primarily become an ever-more interesting psychological adventure . . . rather than merely a series of masochistically self-enrolled crash-courses about age-related physical problems."—General Theosophy

"There is nothing wrong with having disciples . . . unless, of course, you wanted them. . . ."—General Theosophy

"A person who has not yet fully realized Here might still mistakenly think that there is actually somewhere else he or she can go, including under the ground."—General Theosophy

"A cat can teach you to pity poor creatures who must keep busy to keep happy."—General Theosophy

"If your personal Theosophy seems to completely convince you that you will have another lifetime, you are probably not basing this on Theosophy alone; however, if your Theosophy completely fails to give you the suspicion that 'You' may have another lifetime coming, you are probably not using Theosophy at all."—General Theosophy

"Prize especially the reliable friend who does not need a friend."—General Theosophy

"Live like there is no good and evil; only kindness and unkindness."—General Theosophy

"If you think you're Enlightened . . . perhaps you should eliminate the think. . . ."—General Theosophy

"If you are thinking there's a problem; if you are thinking, there is a problem."—General Theosophy

Deities, like humans, have different characteristics.  The energy/shakti of some deities is very ‘yang’, powerful, while others are gentle, their energy permeates through your bodies like a gentle wave that washes over you, cooling you, as you lie on the sand in shallow water.  When a relationship has developed between the disciple and their 'Ishtadevata' the personal deity, occult obedience is the first rule that must, at all costs, be understood.  For instance, during some…

"The whole point of Theosophy is to insult and denigrate death by NOT immediately throwing away intuitions which cast doubt on its finality."—General Theosophy

Reading Berg’s “Essential Zohar”

This isn't Berg's fault, really, as he tries to explain all the issues and problems with the underlying religious texts, so my review isn't against his work per se but the underlying problems with the belief structure itself.

Captain Theosophy (Part One: Meeting Your Personal Genie/Genius) by Richard Ihle

"There's a man in the funny papers we all know. . . ."

Some people started to call me "Captain Theosophy.". . .

It has always been a robust discussion at https://seifertforgovernor.com, when it comes to explaining the details about the Zionism or the Arab cause. Several authors have always taken the wide range of history to give their different stances using the historical standpoints. This explains why the author of The Iron Wall, Shlaim Avi resonates with the fact that the Isreali- Arab conflict has…
