This is perhaps something new, perhaps not.

But I bet by the time I get done explaining, it might

not seem as foreign of a concept as you think.

Some might think a New Agey kind of classifications,

of course a PSI Vampyre would find that insulting.…

Theosophists world over remember November 17th the day Theosophical Society was founded in NY in 1875. On this day, theosophists remember the contributions of the Founders - HPB and HSO, the fruits of their labor many have enjoyed. Anyone who has been touched by theosophical tenets would vouch that their outlook on life and those of the fellow men and women have dramatically changed for ever. As one of the Inner Founders said “Ingratitude is not one of our vices,”, let us remember our…

Besant and CWL did occult research on atom and their observations were published in 1908. While there was a lot of questions about them, here is a recent article by a well known Indian Scientist which appeared in an Indian Newspaper. Here are two quotes:           



‘According to M Srinivasan, former associate director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, (BARC), "One important piece of work, which brings out the extraordinary power of the human mind or consciousness in gaining 'direct…

The energy of Synthesis is a new energy, a new force and a new substance.  Its Purpose is the building of a new civilization which will carry the Evolutionary Plan for humanity into manifestation.  While it is a synthesis of 1st, 2nd and 7th Ray energies, and carries then resemblances to these, still it is not like any one or any combination of them.  It is like itself insofar as this planet is concerned.  In the Cosmic Scheme it is…

This group is forming and all are welcome to partake in it. Hopefully we can each share our ideas with out any rancour or serious disagreements. Really there can be no disagreements as each contributes their understanding and to each her/his own awareness. Discussion is both welcomed and encouraged. We are all in this together as we are part and parcel of humanity at large.

It always seems best to start at the beginning.If you haven't read the blog post " The Seven Problems of…

This essay discusses the segmentation of the world, more particularly the Western world, into three cultural groups: Moderns, Traditionals and Cultural Creatives. There is a fierce polarity to be found here. Can Cultural Creatives bridge the gap that exists between Moderns and Traditionals? 

This essay is a kind of informal sociological analysis. It is a sequel to my analysis of the…

There are "Seven Problems" facing humanity of major consequences at this time in time. They are:

1. The Physical Reconstruction of the World - which in my understanding would include economic, social , and the wanton destruction of nature…

Somehow this 2011 book escaped my attention until today, and I'm delighted that such a reliable author has taken on a subject of such importance.  Will be ordering it immediately, but sight unseen will add this to the recommended reading list for Church of Light history.  It meets a very real need, that much is apparent from some of the reviews. 

Here's the publisher's webpage…

While contemplating Ghost Land's multiple pseudonyms and searching for possible prototypes in other works of Emma Hardinge Britten, I came upon this telling passage from Emma, expressing class resentment at her aristocratic informants and their penchant for secrecy.  Bolded passes are highlighted by me:

From Nineteenth Century Miracles (1884) pp. 90-91

In America, where the sources of popular power are derived from the people, Spiritualism may be…

Several years ago, I was wondering myself about the secrets, how somebody can keep silent about something that is a light for the humanity, how can I keep silent about something that I want to scream to the skies...

How somebody can choose who deserve a determinated knowledge about something...

The secrets are lights of the Truth, that Truth, that nobody have fully, every Truth…

What is the "soul"?

The stimulus response model by Wilhelm Wundt (1832 - 1920) as the basis of modern psychology basically states that because a researcher can hook a patient up to electrodes and inject them with chemicals and elicit identical responses, the…

In the last three blog posts at ehbritten.org Marc Demarest delves into a new research tool that addresses precisely the kinds of questions discussed by Joe, Govert, June, and others in a recent thread.  Having seen a few of his search results, from the POV of the Church of Light I wanted to see how Hermetic/Hermeticism and astrology, the two keywords most relevant to us, compare to Theosophy and Spiritualism, two source…
