Esoteric record: He died because he was willing to, not because he wanted to, intended to, hoped to, or had to. Three years in the physical body, and another thirty were spent behind the scenes, in the subtle worlds - remaining present to, for and with the Apostles and Faithful Seventy, and...

GK, the material evidence is abundant. Your difficulty is, you believe the hype you've been taught. This automatically steers you toward thinking that such `material evidence' now, suddenly because we're talking about aliens and UFO such things, is somehow different and must be far, far more...

Yo yo yo, chilly fresh fast five Freddy fender-o'matic ... what, that went retro ... yo yo yo, so glad to see you're still hangin' around. Who else the hell would keep me honest? ;)

Why not let Monsignor Corrado Balducci do some talking on the subject? [short YouTube video follows:] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MYCfq4uA7k I like his emphasis, and I like his explanation of ETs in terms of theology ... insofar as it goes. He's been trying to get folks - especially...

Just keep watching television. Most folks do not intend to see Jesus on the Air. You will. Literally. Airplanes escort thousand of men and women into and out of the clouds every day. When one Mahatma started writing with Alice Bailey in 1919, his own prediction - and I mean the BEST of his...

Part III of my reply was the longest, but it is lost. Thus for the better. What you want Thomas, is to have it both ways. One. There must be a highest, final authority, or PROOF of the veracity of the Gospel. So it works for your theology, so you try to apply that template to Theosophy, and you...

A Sufi, despairing of The New Age, once said: Once the Way of the Sufi was a way without a name; Today it is a name without a way. A paraphrase might be: Once the Way of the Theosopher was a way without a name; Theosophy then was a universal – without form or formulae – it is not 'badged'...

Dodging the bullet is fine, but you did not address my criticism. Guenon is biased, and he is mistaken. You may like his writings and find some of his insights helpful, but unless you can see past *his* shortcomings, you take them upon yourself, Thomas. You own them, and it need not be so...

Don't take any wooden nickels! ;)

I recommend a reading of `The Esoteric Character of the Gospels,' in three parts, available online at: H. P. Blavatsky: "The Esoteric Character of the Gospels" H. P. Blavatsky, "The Esoteric Character of the Gospels" pt 2 and H. P. Blavatsky, "The Esoteric Character of the Gospels" pt 3. This...

Since I'm so damned long-winded today, there is a final chapter before I take a break ... Theosophy was, and remains, the combined Work of Inspired, Illumined or Enlightened Adepts, the Mahatmas ... expressing their own Divinity, a true outpouring of the Love-Wisdom, the Illumined Intelligence...

I will add, here, some bit of commentary, from Jesus of Nazareth - and if you'd only ask Him, you'd know the authenticity ... for THAT, as everything else in matters spiritual and religious, is a personal undertaking (the verification and triangulation of Truth, of Wisdom, when encountered)...

I can't straighten out the discussion ... but I can suggest reading THEOSOPHICAL AUTHORS if you would like to learn about Theosophy, the Theosphical Society - be that in America, the HQ in Madras, India, or any other branch, anywhere in the world [it is very popular in Australia & New Zealand]...

Although I have taken notes, the question for me is how to be concise, or at least err on the side of brevity. What I will do is post 2 or 3 times, rather than one long, mammoth thing (alas, I say it, but seldom manage it!) - since some folks already can tell an elephant once they see the ice...

No terribly-lengthy replies from me, I hope, wil. A few paragraphs, maybe, before they either get squirrelly, or just plain take too long ... :p Of course, now that I've included a few things which we know Thomas will find superfluous, I will add the caveat that IF something has no relevance...

This is probably not the most opportune moment, or perhaps the thread, but one thing which the public - and especially Christians - need to understand is how the perversion of the Mysteries became possible ... within any of the Traditions, and in this case I mean their own. How were the Crusades...

Guenon accuses Theosophy of being syncretist ... and there's his error. That's the point of the OP. That's the point of the thread. There are many fools willing to take a pock shot at what they themselves have never understood. The hope is that something might go away, because it is...

Are you serious? Possibly, Thomas. But originally that was Jesus ... Thus when Christ was praised, he rebuked them for it, and pointed to what you just said. It was GOD, not Jesus. Again, JESUS SAID THIS ... and how have Christians responded? Have they heeded, by and large, and more often than...

Perhaps you would like to read about John in the modern world, his teachings, his own - direct, literal - clarifications of his own, earlier teachings. The author is J.J. Dewey, the book is `The Immortal.' It is online, free, Volume I ... and one can purchase a used copy in print which includes...
