Inner Christianity (A Review)

Richard Smoley

Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition

(Boston: Shambhala, 2002, 292pp.) (Book)

At this time of transition from the Piscean Period to the Age of Aquarius, there is an evaluation going on within all systems of belief to sort out those aspects of value for the New Age and to let dry up those thought forms and processes which were appropriate only for the passing Piscean period. Such an evaluation is particularly complex in Christianity which has… Continue

Why Belief is Overrated

...or the Wisdom of the Kalama Sutta

Buddhism and perhaps the Hindu traditions are the closest organized religion that kept the Ancient Wisdom philosophy. The Ancient Wisdom says; everything is part of something greater and all is part of an infinite, transcendent, unimaginable “thing” we call "God".

The last millennium had brought us a lot of wonderful scientific research,… Continue

The Alice A. Bailey Books – FAQ

With some comparisons to the Agni Yoga

Teachings by Helena Roerich

Michael D. Robbins

The books of DK and AAB are called the “Blue Books”. Eighteen of them are written by the Tibetan collaborating with AAB; five are written by AAB herself. One book, The Light of the Soul, which is an exegesis of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, was a shared effort in a different way; the Tibetan Master provided a translation of the ancient… Continue

The initiations of Krishnamurti( an astrological biography).

The Initiations of Krishnamurti:

An Astrological Biography

(From the book of the same name by Phillip Lindsay © 2002)

Krishnamurti remains probably one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century and has been the subject of several biographies, but none to date that has exhaustively treated the subject from an astrological viewpoint – as the above title indicates.

One of Krishnamurti’s (K) more well known associations is with that of… Continue

Theosophy, HPB and the Secret Doctrine by Phillip Lindsay

Theosophy, HPB and The Secret Doctrine

Phillip Lindsay © 2002

The Theosophical Society was founded by the so-called Masters of Wisdom

or Hierarchy of Enlightened Being, through their amanuensis, H.P.

Blavatsky. Other names for them throughout history have been the Elder

Brothers, The Secret College and The Great White Brotherhood.

If it is difficult to accept the fact of their existence, ask yourself

the question, where do the Masters… Continue

Freedom, statistics, blavatsky news and more - Lucifer7, February 2010

New online

On Blogger (aka, not by me)

This is not exactly a new blog. It's just that I only became aware of it recently (thank you Michael Gomes). It's called 'Blavatsky News', but the subjects are far wider. It contains a lot of book reviews and (surprise) the authors seem to know what they are talking about.

Blavatsky News. They announce, among other things, that…

Chart of U.S. Capitol and Life after Death

I'm reading the "Lost Symbol" and noted the time and date that Brown gave for the laying of the cornerstone of the Capitol building. In the Capitol's horoscope Sagittarius, the legislative sign is rising. And Jupiter is very close to the Ascendant. This brings good things and people to this building. Planets are up at the top of the chart also, which makes honors possible. Looks like George, Ben, and L'Enfant did a good job of picking the time.

Also, I'm very excited about medical… Continue

Mahatma Gandhi: In the Midst of Darkness

Gandhi: In the Midst of Darkness

Rene Wadlow

“I do daily perceive that while everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves, and re-creates. That informing power or spirit is God. I see it as purely benevolent, for I can see in the midst of death, life persists. In the midst of untruth, truth persists. In the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I… Continue

'Theosophy for a new generation of inquirers / enquirers' ;)

I don't often laugh when opening The Theosophist. In fact, I had not looked at the issues of various theosophical magazines lying around my house for months. But the spirit of boredom made me open them one by one. Most didn't help me overcome my boredom. So I did not read much. But the table of contents of the October Issue of The Theosophist (2009) had me laughing out loud.

Why? Well, first off - the variety of spellings used. Colin Price (from the UK) had as his title 'Theosophy… Continue

Life Without Guilt (Book Review)

Hazel M. Denning.

Life Without Guilt : Healing Through Past Life Regression

(St. Paul, MN: Liewellyn Publications, 1998, 196pp.)

As we move into the Age of Aquarius, there are still those with very deep karmic ties to the Piscean past. These Piscean wounds must be healed in order to permit the individual to advance into the new age.

There are two types of individuals with such karmic ties. The first are those who had positions of leadership of… Continue

The Wisdom in Toons - "The princess and the frog" from Disney; the esoteric aproach...

princess-andthe-frog.jpg

For me was quite exciting seeing for the first time in Disney an animated cartoon where you can find a BLACK PRINCESS, that speaks that Disney is getting in the vanguard for first time and trying to shake the fame in earlier years where it was blamed for its "Whitebreaded" films where social issues were very far away from rreality, like in the classic… Continue

Mosley's "Socrates Fortlow" Series of Novels

Mosley's "Socrates Fortlow" Series of Novels

By Walter Mosley:

- "Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned."

- "Walkin' the Dog"

- "The Right Mistake: The Further Philosophical Investigations of Socrates Fortlow," Basic Books, 269pp, 2008

Mosley is a prolific novelist, but these three are my favorites. These are pretty crude books, but realistically so, and the crudity isn't over-riding, or a mask for lack of writing ability or worthwhile ideas. Socrates… Continue

What Does God Believe?

Among the numerous contradictory misconceptions about God, there is the assumption many traditional believers have about what God believes. The Nov. 30, 2009 edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) revealed that the belief in God having beliefs is typical throughout the American society. In the PNAS survey, participants reported their own belief about an issue, their estimate of God's belief on that issue, along with a variety of other people including Microsoft’s Bill… Continue
