Re: Trinity & Trimurti part two I realize you may not `subscribe,' but I recommend Temple Teachings, if you enjoy Paul. The author is Hilarion [Illarion] ... who was one of Theosphy's earliest contributing Mahatmas. From Spiritualism and Christian Science, the earlier of which He inspired, the...

Re: Trinity & Trimurti part one This is a teaching from the Zohar, and it also has existed in the Far East for much longer. The medieval alchemists verified such earlier teachings ... and found the teachings sound. Mineral, vegetable, animal and human are often given as the first four Kingdoms...

It crossed my mind ... in about these words: What do you mean, `Do *this* in remembrance of me?' Most Christians of course, hear this - in Sunday's Liturgy What do we do *in remembrance* - of You? Well, let me ask it this way: What did the Christ DO?

In our Solar System there are Uranus [Father, although 7th Ray], Neptune [Son, although 6th Ray] and Saturn [Holy Spirit, and 3rd Ray]. These comprise a Trinity of Sacred Planets which themselves are an inner triangle, and represent a much longer term of planetary evolution than each individual...

Re: Trinity & Trimurti part two And this point, I would suggest, is where we pick up the quest ... ;) Obvious, maybe. Poignant, I hope so! Originally Posted by Zagreus: As an example of great illusion, one sage has often referred to the "Dire Heresy of Separateness." Ok, why point out the snake...

Re: Trinity & Trimurti part one It's a two-way street, Thomas, and yes, I do like it when folks are in good humor and try to be positive, uplifting, and if possible, positively uplifting. Originally Posted by Zagreus: ... or still behold its own ken within what Christ called the 5th Kingdom...

Well, Thomas, now that you ask, it would be the following: Clearly *YOU* don't need to be trying to do any of this `straightening out,' since you're as mixed up about this subject as a tossed salad. The Destroyer Aspect does not correspond with the Holy Spirit. It is the Father, and it is...

Thomas, that excerpt from Wiki fits perfectly into a thread I started on `Syncretism vs. Theosophy.' Some of us are not concerned about the discrepancies between the Trimurti and the Trinity. The latter evolution in Christian theology may indeed differ from the Vedic presentation of Trimurti...

Yes, probably. And certainly I'm interested, even if I have my own, functional, current understanding which works just fine. It doesn't mean I know or understand everything there is to grasp about the subject, even if the Forerunner is real, living man, a Teacher to me ... incarnate now, just as...

It's precisely because of what you point out in your second sentence that I DO like Theosophy so much: "It's as if someone took the best ideas from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., and compiled all of them into a new philosophy." Once folks (some do, some will) can see, can understand...

Of course. I know that quite a few things are screwed up about modern Churchianity. Christ Himself cannot, and will not fix - all that is wrong with it. But I do believe that as ET [MAY] land(s) ... some of the broken stuff will be brought more carefully into the scrutiny, the light, of...

I think what you mean is, Baptism means something different to you ... even to a lot of Christians. Ask Jesus, or the Christ, the significance, and get back to us on it, okay? ;) Point is, My interpretation is ROCK-solid, for me, and I haven't the faintest shadow of a DOUBT about it. Now I...

The notion is that we put on a `mask' for God. The meaning of the word `personality' derives from this, and suggests a reality beneath, however complex or even otherworldly the psyche, soul or true self may actually be. The antidote, it seems, on one level is to recognize - and at least try to...

Well, it basically says to me .... that we need to steer Platonic, regarding our considerations.

This post contains a couple of brief excerpts from Wikipedia for help with the topic, plus a good bit of commentary towards the end. My intention is to take a second pass, perhaps adding some additional thoughts, but please feel free to chime in - anyone who has observations, caveats or...

I quite agree, Nick. The symbolism of Baptism in the Christian Rite is for me the same as it has been taught in Theosophical teachings. It treats of the astral plane, or `watery world' of our emotions ... and of course, those of animals, ETs, or any other creature native to or experienced with...

I am a latecomer to the scene, and don't wish to preempt more insightful or relevant commentary ... ... nevertheless, for me the Sacra Doctrina cannot trump or contradict the simplicity of "walking the walk." For a Christian, I think this means that "Faith without works is dead," and thus...

I rather enjoyed this article, posted via facebook by a friend of mine who is a Christian psychotherapist. I hope you enjoy it as well. The author is an American, who according to the web site: "studied Youth Ministry at the Moody Bible Institute. He is now on staff at the University of...

I think Namaste Jesus and Aussie Thoughts have it, spot-on. :)

The faculty called `Intuition' or Buddhi, being utterly and totally transcendent of what we call mind, sometimes also spoken of as the TRUE REASON ... is what can grasp, and instantly comprehend by DIRECT UNION with [so to speak] the essence of the chair, crystal, etc. It was of such a...
