    Does Somebody Have To Be Wrong?

    Greetings AT, A friend of mine was once reading a book when an idea flew out of it. It was about the four ways of truth. For every truth you can find a truth opposite in nature. These truths in turn have their untrue shadows. For example, honesty is the best policy but it is equally true...

    Why is faith different?

    Hello Chron, Never stop questioning- question and question again. To quest is to question. Any imposition on a man or woman is a disgrace. Good judgments refer inwardly, only. There was a time in the past when it was OK to present truths like that but now everyone must be free to decide for...

    The Cunning Arts....

    Hi Kim, I did find a little on this ( and I know there is more). The Druids had a Madonna or Virgin Mother, with a Child in her arms... and their Sun God was resurrected at the time of the year corresponding to that which modern Christians celebrate Easter. Secret Teachings of All Ages By...

    Theosophy's Origin of the Universe

    Hi Brian, The language of the Stanzas is Senzar. HPB says she is actually holding the book. She could read books in the "Astral Light"- which means they were back to front.. The Stanzas do describe an outbreathing and an inbreathing. They are largely incomprehensible without the commentary (and...

    Immortality Of The Human Soul

    Dear Mee, Materialistic conceptualising comes from Satan- as it is he who denies the spirit. Man consists of a body, soul and spirit. John Chapter 10: 34. Jesus said to them, "Isn't it written in your law: "I said, `You are gods?" Is it true that immortality is a reality? All the signs would...

    The Infallibility of Doctrine

    Sometimes truth is forbidden to enter where doctrine dwells. Truth remains when doctrine has ceased its usefulness. Truth has insight beyond the concepts expounded and ignited in any age. In order not to negate all possibility of change, no Master may claim infallibility. -Br.Bruce We must...

    The Cunning Arts....

    Dear Ben, Of course there were many invasions from non-Christian peoples such as the Vikings and the Romans. The Roman departure from Britain was completed by 410. Christianity was easily accepted by the Druids- there really wasn't a bloody revolution there. The mysteries of Hibernia were...

    Jesus was a Buddhist

    Hello Br.Andrew, The reason why we need the physical presence of the Masters in this world is because they bear the future form of the bodies we all will have one day. They quicken those around them. However, mostly when you meet a Master you only realise after the event. -Steiner Kind...

    Daily Wisdom Saying

    How can we look understandingly into somebody's being? We should not condemn but understand the criminal's personality, understand the criminal and the saint equally well. Empathy for each and everyone is required and this is what is meant with higher, occult "listening." Thus, if a person...

    Jesus was a Buddhist

    That's "arse" unless your talking about your donkey. Do you understand the concept of idealism? There is areal one there among the forgeries. She never called it a religion. -Steiner What are your qualifications for saying so? -Steiner -Br.Bruce

    What is a Meek?

    Greetings Chris, Meek has to do with gentleness and mildness. Translated from the Aramaic it reads: "Blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth." In following the Gentle Master we would hope to be gentlemen. Gentleness is not weakness and neither is it timidity. Gentleness is a...

    JW's, Sccientologists, Moonies.. when does a cult become a religion?

    Hello Tao, How's your old Dad? I don't believe there are any new religions- new teachings, yes, but no new religions. "Cult" used to be such a positive word. The "cultus" was/is the method spiritual forces come down to earth. Thus we have the word 'culture' and "cultivation"- and the...

    Do you need a master, guru or group?

    Shalom, It doesn't discount the fact that as well as the forgeries, there are real Masters. And in the Theosophical Movement there are instructions from these Masters, such as: LIGHT ON THE PATH - Part 1 :)
