    Are Theosophy & Anthroposophy Religions?

    Avi, As I said before and will say again...... and again- It doesn't concern me what you think. The only authority is personal choice. Now if you're sincerely interested in the giant men of old, we can discuss it, but I'm not interested talking to a nay-sayer about it- it's just a waste of my...

    Jews as Chosen People: A Theosophical Perspective

    That would be an exhausting study- she said so much. Principally though, I am a Johannine Christian, in that I believe that the Creative Word "by through Whom all things were made" was incarnate in Christ Jesus. I do believe - along with good Jews - in reincarnation. If some people take it...

    Jews as Chosen People: A Theosophical Perspective

    A "Root Race" is a period of time- a cultural period. Root race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Remember, to be a theosophist you don't have to be a follower of Blavatsky (I'm not) or any other author. You just have to subscribe to the objects/aims. Dogmatism is not allowed.

    Are Theosophy & Anthroposophy Religions?

    My dear Avi, I am in the enviable position of not having to convince anyone of anything. Who really knows what the future holds- do you? Real Hobbits: Study backs theory Hobbit was distinct species It's within "living memory". Do you want to tell people how to think? After all they are...

    Locking the Theosophy Thread

    I'm saying the concept didn't exist then, the word didn't exist - after all there was still slavery. And of course it (racism) was all over the world- Blavatsky challenged it in India (where it still exists today). Racism studies are a 20th century phenomenon. And really, these concerns...

    Jews as Chosen People: A Theosophical Perspective

    Those other questions re Atlantis, racial superiority etc. are rather more complex. I will look at them later. For now I can say "the first will be last and the last will be first". On equality, we can say that in the realm of the laws of men there should be equal rights. And in spiritual law...

    Locking the Theosophy Thread

    Hi Avi, Note the date- 1933- racism is a new word and a new concept that didn't exist in the nineteenth century. The racial superiority idea comes from India, where even today they still have remnants of the caste system. Of course the way out was through reincarnation. I have never read any...

    Are Theosophy & Anthroposophy Religions?

    Nice to meet you. Yes it says I am an Executive Member- I don't know what sort of executive decisions I get to make around here (just coming and going ones). My answer will be short and sweet as I already have that sorted out :). Along with Br. Nick I do believe our ancestors were giants- and...

    Jews as Chosen People: A Theosophical Perspective

    Yes some early Christians did reject the Old Testament and only stuck to the Gospels - or even one Gospel. It wasn't because they were anti Semitic, for most of them were probably ex Jews. (The first Christians were Jews.)

    Are Theosophy & Anthroposophy Religions?

    The trouble with that, as I see it Nick, are the anomalies between religions. Do you eat pork or not? Are you required to be a vegetarian? In the end you will have to make a decision about where you belong... right now. HPB herself was inclined towards Tibetan Buddhism in her final days. At one...

    Are Theosophy & Anthroposophy Religions?

    On further thinking about this, I would say that the difference between Theosophy and Anthroposophy and religion, is that anyone (within the rules) may join a religion and participate. Whereas in order to take theosophy or anthroposophy into oneself, one has to be properly prepared - that is in...

    What is Satan and how does he influence my life?

    Hello, Take a look at my previous post and you'll realize Lucifer has his place in Buddhism- along with other demons. http://www.interfaith.org/forum/mara-and-buddha-7532.html Consider the meaning of "nightmare" and its relationship to the story of the Buddha. -Br. Bruce

    Why all the fascination with vibration?

    Hi There, Yes the words are not specific enough. Vibration though, as in the greater instance of the activity of the Creative Word, can be the impetus to form and order. YouTube - Cymatics - Bringing Matter To Life With Sound (Part 1 of 3) Search for "Cymatics" on Youtube.

    Steiner & Christendom

    Rudolf Steiner's indications cast the Bible in an entirely new light, one which can stir the soul with indescribable joy and lift it to a new level of understanding and eventually to a higher consciousness. Reading of the Bible in its common understanding, as...

    Cruise Indoctrination Video

    Hello Pathless, I have been reading about these "Ontario Consultants"- it seems they don't really give a thorough reading of scientology. There is no mention of the "free Zone" there- that is the people who operate outside CoS. I wonder if there is anything about Avatar?- started by a man...

    Raymond Franz- Friend of God

    Hello, Yes we need to question and question more, for that is our quest. I did look up that nice man, Shaun's page. Shaun's Research on the Jehovah's Witnesses Raymond said: “ I now began to realize how large a measure of what I had based my entire adult life course on was just that, a...
