Os discípulos de Erígena

Erígena não deixou nenhuma escola e se ele teve algum seguidor imediato, nada se conhece dele ou deles.  “O século” diz Neander, “em que ele viveu não estava preparado para o seu sistema; mas o espírito especulativo que passou além do século 12 para o século 13 preparou o caminho para a adequação de uma influência que não foi possível ser realizada na sua primeira aparição.”  Nós não temos dados históricos…

"The PERSONAL EXCESSIVENESS which did not kill me may just be procrastinating."—General Theosophy

“Thoughts are Things.”

In the late 19th  century, a group of people in Britain began to deeply explore consciousness through meditation, theology, and philosophy. They called themselves the Theosophists. One of their visionaries was a woman by the name of Helena Blavatsky, who wrote the book “The Secret Doctrine.” It was deep and heavy for most people, but later writers were better able to connect the ideals of Theosophy with the rest of us. Some of these writers were Annie…

“Two is company; three is politics.”—General Theosophy

Astrophysicist can tell you all about this, but I wonder if you ever considered time and space as a nuisance? After all, space is a distance you must pass between getting from here to there, and time is just a hindrance from being complete and whole. The future is anticipation of something either good or bad and the past is something to continually process and…

“Truth is a book with nothing specific written in it; Theosophers are those who continue to turn the pages anyway.”—General Theosophy

“Be not so confident about Spiritual progress until you are at a loss for words.”—General Theosophy

Greetings and good wishes, Sergo.  I always enjoy your interesting posts.

In a private message to me you asked me something like "what aspect of theosophy [sic. Theosophy] interests you most?"  Previously, you had also mentioned that you were a Russian-English language translator.  The thought came to me, "Why not try to 'kill two birds with one stone' [a good-old folksy English idiom] and not only begin to answer [the shortest version would be 'Psychological…

“Youth is the search for your own exceptional attributes; old age is the search for your own possible exceptions to the rule.”—General Theosophy

In that blog I give a definition the term of ‘Subtle body’. According various occult, esoteric, mystic doctrines, subtle body is one of the psychospiriitual components of a living being, which is a interagent between a being’s physical body and his soul. There are several types of subtle bodies (astral, etheric, causal etc.). Each of them exist into corresponding plane of being (astral, etheric etc.). Subtle body doctrine is integral part of esoteric systems of the Orient…

I would like to get out my message on a subtle bodies to members of that sites. I would like to point out a subtle-body doctrine isn't myths or superstition of ancient people as modern materialists try to show. Ancient people got knowledge from divine revelation and a comprehension of Self and own internal intuition therefore our forefathers couldn't mistake because gods what's nothing but manifestation of latent power of human psychic are one of the surest evidence of the High Truth. One…

“Old age can only exist if you blame it for something.”—General Theosophy

“If you have detailed beliefs rather than just intuitive inklings about transcendental subjects like karma and reincarnation, you may have traded religion for philosophy.”—General Theosophy

"Not much of a trick is needed to keep busy with petty things; much more of a trick is required to keep un-busy with Undifferentiated Everything."—General Theosophy

“A Theosopher is a philosopher who has lost interest in other philosophers.”—General Theosophy

“An Adept does not need anything from the world in order to produce the same consciousness as having it.”—General Theosophy
