Some Ideas on Magical Thinking

The New Thought movement and the Secret has much merit but both fall short on practical advice and cautionary warnings.

The magick community also has its problems and misunderstandings with the true nature of phenomena. Let me post some ideas of mine.

• Ceremonial magick while important facet is not as important as they make you believe. Ceremonies, costumes etc are like are crutch to place the…

 Hi, friends!

  I'd like to receive some feedback on the contents of this message before telling where it comes from. Thanks!

My dear friends, I am happy to be with you once more.

My plan is that my teaching should precede my presence and prepare my way. My people will release it through their groups and group endeavour. When mankind is somewhat prepared, my voice shall be heard.

Meanwhile, my efforts are bearing fruit,…

The three Guna’s



Activity-Passivity-Harmony

Attaches no value judgments on the three properties.Try to control them, not to suppress.

They are like three colours can be distinguished but not separated.There is always a dominant one.You state yourself as a thinker at the helm, you can decide which property that some time is needed.

“The purpose of Theosophy is not to be able to say things you cannot know; rather, it is to know things you cannot say.”—General Theosophy

I am not a devout Buddhist. While I subscribe and love much of the tenets of Buddhism, especially the Mahayana sect, I cannot be part of any organized religion. So naturally, when killing nuisance pests was the question posed to his holiness the Dalai Lama, this came to mind. Someone asked him what he thought about…

This is the intro to Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet's recent 'Message to Astrologers', which discusses the Tropical Zodiac as utilized by modern-day 'Western' astrologers as being closer to the gnosis of the VEDIC seers ... and therefor the error of considering measuring the zodiac via the constelations as is the practice of modern day, so-called 'Vedic' Astrologers.

If one assumes that Theosophy actually means ‘Divine Wisdom’, then proceeding on ‘Our New Direction’, I find the following to be of interest:

1. The recognition that the Divine is not relative/subjective in nature.
   
   What follows from this is that such Wisdom is not to be found ultimately through erudition.
2. The sharing of specific methods of achieving Theosis. For me, I currently practice works from Ichazo’s School, Arica.
3. Just knowing #1 above does…

Good and bad or

right and wrong

We are not as accustomed to this way as in Theosophy thought about is about good and evil thinking. This may be difficult for us to have an idea about them. Good and evil are relative. Every person has his own (limited) view of what is good and evil. We often identify ourselves with other people. It resonates with something in our thinking when we see others suffer. This can be, e.g., pity or compassion. - Pity, then the emotional aspect of our…

I have been reading the work of Dion Fortune and I find it interesting becuase it is "applied theosophy". I have not read all of her books so I cannot comment on the accuracy of her entire material. Any thoughts and opinions on her teachings?

I read with interest the recent announcement of New Direction etc. and noticed that the word theosophy was not capitalized.  I thought, therefore, that this might be a good time to share part of a larger work-in-progress of mine which gives the special epistemological reason that I prefer to keep it capitalized.  Best wishes to all--R.

Let me tell you about…

One of the things that baffles newbees as well as long-time students of theosophy, is the confused definitions of theosophy. When one tries to discuss or debate the subject, we may end up parting with deep disagreements because each one of us may have been introduced to theosophy by various lineages, each clinging to certain viewpoints. HPB seems to have forseen this problem and addressed this to the second annual convention of the American Section. She stated:
