There is a book called Father Ernetti's Chronovisor: The Creation and Disappearance of the World's First Time Machineby Peter Krassa that claims that the Roman Catholic priest and occultist Pellegrino Ernetti invented a time machine called the Chronovisor based on Blavatsky's scientific theories. It claims he worked on developing it with Werner von Braun. Any thoughts from anyone? Has anyone here read the book?

Tolstoy and Gandhi: Light as Darkness Approached
Rene Wadlow
We possess a single infallible guide, the Universal Spirit that lives in men as a whole, and in each one of us, which makes us aspire to what we should aspire: it is the Spirit that commands the tree to grow toward the sun, the flower to throw off its seed in autumn, us to reach out towards God, and by so doing, become united to each other.
Leo Tolstoy
November 20 marks the death of Leo Tolstoy…

Out of the discussion about the origin of the Stanzas of Dzyan, a group of members of this community realized that H. P. Blavatsky's book, the Secret Doctrine, has some features that makes it difficult for the current public, (both inside and outside Theosophical circles) to approach its study.
The purpose of this Blog is to discuss whether the relevant content presented by H. P. Blavatsky can be re-organized, annotated, and brought up to date, so that the principles of the Esoteric…

Many times we may like to convert hard copies to electronic medium by scanning them. Theosophists world-wide are a minuscule in numbers and many are acquainted with each other. With the scanners becoming inexpensive, there would be an urge to convert hard copies of documents to a pdf file. However, we want to avoid re-inventing the wheel by trying to scan hard copy books and periodicals wasting time and labor. Anytime, we are embarking on a scanning project, it would be a good idea to inquire…

Erica reminded everyone on theos-talk that TS is 135 years old today.
It is remarkable that we are now talking to a world-wide audience almost with the speed of light.
Theosophy has indeed affected almost everyone who came into contact with it.
Modern communication technology is going to make theosophy reach millions in days to come.
May the "Forlorn Hope" become reality, at least partially in the days to come.

I just learnt that the NZ Ning site may be going off-line in the
next few days. To some it may be a loss. However, it is really not so.
Due to the international character of Internet based forums, any
theosophist can interact with others around the world in such open
independent forums as theos-talk and theosnet ning site. Also these
forums are daily attracting users from around the world as they are (1)
open and not closed and (2) not controlled by any…

For an analyses of the fiery whirlwind, vortex and orphic egg shape see the site below. It includes some insights into the works of AAB and HPB as well as quantum physics. The whirlwind is more then an artistic or poetic metaphor but an actual energy body or gateway built between different levels of spiritual reality or dimensions. This…

The project has taken off. Joe Fulton should be congratulated on the idea. The article on HPB is excellent and it was indexed by Google. We all should collaborate and contribute to the project.

Greetings and good wishes to all.
[In another thread Joe wrote: “This, in my view, demonstrates quite clearly that the use of astrology in relation to the various cycles was a valid concept. {. . .} Now, if there is any validity at all to any of this, then one can assume that even smaller cycles in our evolution can be discerned.”]
Among all esoteric teachings, I think…

Theosophical literature has talked about dimensions beyond the three ones. Now, Science is about to discover some exciting new facts. Here is an article of interest:
CERN Physicists See Parallel Universe Possibilities
“The CERN scientists say this data could provide clear signs of dimensions beyond length, width, depth and time because at such high energy particles could be tracked disappearing and then reappearing into one of the traditional four dimensions.”…

Has anyone seen the movie 'Hearafter' produced by Clint Eastwood?
'Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon take a turn at tackling the world of life
after death with "Hereafter," a film that intertwines the lives of a medium, a French journalist who undergoes a near-death experience and a
London kid who's just lost his twin brother.'
I think it is timely that this movie will spark interest what happens in after life. Much talk has been going on for years about near death as well…

Many tax exempt organizations who did not keep up with the required 990 filings will lose their tax exempt status if required actions are not taken by 10/15. Losing tax exempt status will trigger a lot of unintended consequences, many of which would be expensive to fix. Expensive professional help would be needed and money wasted. IRS has published a list who are out of compliance and Joe Fulton posted a blog.
In recent years, congress has forced tax exempt organizations to make…
