Re: -----====(^_^)====----- Hi Nick, In reality "Theosophy" doesn't "teach"- theosophical teachers/authors teach. As I brought before: There is no Eastern, Western, Christian or Buddhist Theosophy: "We must learn completely to overcome the inclination to a theosophy of a definite stamp and...

I started a new thread on this subject: http://www.comparative-religion.com/forum/sevenfold-nature-compared-8321.html#post128531

Dear Intrepidlover, The link you posted to has a description of the Sevenfold nature of man as told by G.de P. This is not exactly the same as HPB's system as far as I can see. (Some theosophical authors were known for their "blinds".) Sevenfold constitution of nature and man Where does it...

Re: Christus verus Luciferus Hi, The 'Satan' referred to by Thomas in your post is really the elemental beings- as it is depicted in the Tarot Devil Card. You really should be careful what books you have in your bedroom. Just as water that pools outside is inhabited by amoebae that are...

The Christian Hermeticists were the recipients of Christian revelation. What part of life is simple? You are not simple, your computer is not simple and even the smallest weed in your garden is not simple. As a wise man once said, Christianity can be comprehended by the simplest of minds...

The following Churches also allow the doctrine of reincarnation: The Christian Community - AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND The Order of the Cross -Br.Bruce

Hello Intrepid, I've already posted on this thread most of the quotes from Matthew which demonstrate the flavour of Christ's message. I have also discussed the nature of Christ's teaching on the breaking of the blood ties in order to cultivate a greater Love on other threads. Shalom, Br.Bruce

That should be, of course "As a member you are NOT required to believe in the Masters- even if you are a member of the Esoteric Section."

Re: ~~(^.^)~~ Hi Nick, Yes it is wrong to assert that there is just one "theosophic Vision" of Christ. Mine is quite different to Andrew's. Leadbeater is closer to Bailey- maybe Andrew can cite the differences. Christ is not an Avatar in Steiner's teachings. I like what I just posted from...

Hello, Is this addressed to me? It would be handy if you personally addressed me, if it is. I haven't posted on the Sevenfold Nature of man. Various theosophical authors have views on the sevenfold nature- Subba Row argued with HPB over it. There is no "theosophical version" just teachings by...

Hi Friend, He renders the verse as it was in the original Chaldee. The other translation does not fit in with the rest of Matthew's Gospel. Matthew was not written in Greek. Greetings, Br.Bruce

Hi Neemai, There are a lot of different theosophical organisations in the world- I'm not sure how many. There is one in Australia - the Theosophical Fellowship- that has registered as a religious organisation. I know of another non-theosophical org that states it is not a religion, yet is...

Spot on Br.Andrew! Syncretism might be viewed cynically as an attempt to appeal to all by mixing concepts from various sources. But in our studies of comparative religion we find real connections which stem from the greater Reality. The connections found in scholarly research can be confirmed...

THE ANCIENTS when looking heavenwards would picture the starry mass above, connected as it were by a frame of infinite threads; each orb held in suspension, woven by the actions of another. Planets, stars, moons and smaller comets- interdependent with orbits and individual space defined...

Hi Mee, 'Lucifer' cannot be an original name in the Bible because it is Roman. 'Jehovah' is not scriptural either. Lucifer is not Satan- they are two different adversarial beings- though often confused. In the nineteenth century Dr. Anna Kingsford was able to discern the differences between...

Your comment is of the mark, Thomas. The quoted is the view of Christian Kabalists. Binah (Kabbalah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Blessings, Br.Bruce

Dear 17th, Mr. Hitler's conception of the Master Race was not how it is to be: . -The Brothers I'd imagine you'd wear whatever you wanted to wear. Lecture: Preparing for the Sixth Epoch Blessings, Br.Bruce

Hello, Theosophists (and others) refer to the Coming Race as the Sixth (sub) Race. Those who are considered to be advanced souls are already named "Sixth Racers". There also has been speculation as to which continent the new community will arise- Philadelphia. Preparing for the Sixth Epoch...
