The Journey...

When we have come to a realization with consistent awakenings of the higher life ~ we are able to discern that life truly is magnificent and of grander scale.

We are told and ask not to confine our consciousness to the world of matter for a great reason ~ because there's truly such a thing as higher existence.

We may viewed our world here quite big enough to sustain life ~ but, when we get the opportunity to viewed what's in the inner realm - we'll be glad that we did take the risk of… Continue

Welcome to Hell

Once upon a time in Tibet there was a lama and a Christian missionary. And every day they ran into each other on a ledge going down to the town and every day they argued. Well, one day they argued so forcefully that the ledge gave way.

And they both woke up in Hell and standing over them was a devil with their room assignments.

The lama looked at the devil and said, "I am Guru Rimpoche. I have been a monk since I was three, studied the works of the Buddha all my life and… Continue

The Inner Ruler

THE Cherokee say that “our first teacher is our own heart,” but unfortunately our western science has rewarded that teacher with very few apples.

Mainstream medicine still looks at the heart as only a mechanical pump.

That view is beginning to change. The Medical Community is being challenged to expand its thinking about human biology, health, and wellness.

Leading-edge research in holistic medicine, biophysics, bioenergetics, and frontier biology all… Continue

Moderator TS Adyar Newsletter 2008 Issues on-line

similar magazines and would be a means of keeping in touch with theosophists world-wide.

Breath of Heaven

The August 5, 2009 NewScientist features 10 things about humans that science can’t yet explain. “We belong to a remarkably quirky species,” the article says, and “despite our best efforts, some of our strangest foibles still defy explanation.”

Among these supposed flaws are: blushing, laughter, teenagers, dreams, altruism, art, superstition—flippantly, even kissing and nose-picking are on the list.

At one point the writer demands: “what are they for?” Altruism:… Continue

Neti Neti

The expression, neti–neti, literally means “neither this, nor that.” The first is the rejection of a separate self or ego. It is a rejection of fragmentation or split from universal spirit. It means in the wholistic multidimensional context that we are not just separate egos.

We can not ever be defined as being separate from spirit without… Continue

State of Being

When one attains a level of mind gravity in the intellectual pursuit of the infinite intelligence, one must also complement such a manifestation with heart wisdom. This- as a synchronistic pair, initiates the will magnetism in the form of a call/prayer/command.

When the involution toward serving the self is transmuted to become the radiance of service to others in utter supplication toward the great one being, the soul receives the active spirit and the… Continue
