Being Arjunas

Dear friends,

 

We must learn with the good and less good things that occur in our daily life. Sometimes we think that our cross is heavier that we can load but what we get is what we really need, to remove the veils of illusion and ignorance of our hearts.

 

Robert Crosbie said,

 

“This is a school and everything that comes for us to do contains a lesson for us. ‘We should not forget that, ever. What comes at any…

Theosophy Versus Nazism in Germany

Dear friends,

 

As we approach the celebration of the “Victory in Europe Day” on 8th May, which marks the victory of the Allies over the Nazis and the end of Second World War in Europe,  we have just published at our website www.Esoteric-Philosophy.com an important testimony by Sieglinde Plocki, a German theosophist of the Point Loma TS, about the Nazi persecution of the theosophists in Germany during the Second World…

Theosophy in Greece Under Nazism

Dear friends,

 

As we approach to the celebration of the end of Second World War, at May 8 of 1945, we continue our investigation on the theosophical movement during those dark years.

 

We have just published a new text in our website about the moving testimony of a Greek theosophist during the Nazi occupation.

 

The text follows below.

 

Best regards, Joaquim

General Theosophy #48

“A koan is a riddle which defies intellectual solution yet may improve those who struggle with it long enough.  For examples:  What was your original face before you were born?  What is the sound of one hand clapping?  What is Theosophy?—General Theosophy

Bin Laden and the Occult Roots of Afghan War

Dear friends,

 

Today, President Obama confirmed that Osama Bin Laden has been killed.

 

We know that HPB wrote about “secret societies created in the Peshawar region, where now Mr. Osama Bin Laden and the taliban have their strongholds in Afghanistan. Those lands include the border region with Pakistan.”

 

We have in our websites a most interesting article entitled:

 

Occult Roots of the Afghan…

Freud, Jung, And Ethics

Dear friends,

 

We learn that Theosophy is “divine Ethics”.

 

HPB teaches that “these ethics are the soul of the Wisdom-Religion”, and were promulgated by every initiate, in every times and places.

 

Ethics are also in the center of true Psychology.

 

In our learning process, we should always try that our feelings of disappointment did not overcome the calm and unbiased examination of the facts.

 

We have published in our…

Beyond Reductionism (7)

Weiss, part five.



Open systems



Weiss mentions here his use of escape clauses as "to all intents

and purposes", "relatively bounded", "relatively constant", "essential" in relation to the issue of the non-existence of wholly autonomous, tightly bounded, systems of any order of magnitude and complexity.…

Theosophy, Carl Jung and the "Tibetan Book of the Dead"

Dear friends,



There are many students of theosophy who admire the thought of Carl Jung.



However, maybe most of them don’t see that Jung ideas are contrary to Ethics, as Eric Fromm and others showed.



There is a most interesting article that brings even more evidences about the untheosophical ideais of Mr. Jung, and his relation with a Dugpa sect.



The text is published at our websites…

United States and the Cycle

Dear Friends,

 

After the massive flooding in Australia and the recent catastrophe in Japan, now is the United States who is suffering the impact of the global climatic disruption.

 

I just saw in the news that deadly storms ravaged parts of the South, killing almost 300 people. The level of destruction is so huge that it was declared the state of emergency. [1]

 

I would like to send my solidarity to the American…

Hierarchy: a biological necessity



To stress the need for viewing living organisms as hierarchically

ordered systems, ponder the following facts. The average cell in the human body

consists of about eighty per cent of water and for the rest contains about 10^5

Calm the Mind Relax the heart

To Unlock the Clarity of ones inner self, you have to view everything outside the box. Metaphoricaly the box is the people and places and things on earth. With every action there is consequence. No one is better than any other. We always assume we have things to offer those we trust, trust being the key word. What gives a person the right not to trust someone. We allow ourselves to be defeated by the past. If one can…

Reductionism and holism



Weiss next tries to define basic criteria that mark a complex of parts for designation as a system. First, however, he talks about the controversy in biology between "reductionism" and "holism". The former finds its advocates in the field of "molecular biology". The latter term can be used to imply a deliberate “self-limitation of…
