Greetings Sean, Zarathushtra also perceived the Sun Aura -Ahura Mazdao - and knew he would one day incarnate on earth as Jesus of Nazareth. Now why do Christians then call the Sun God the Creator God? Dr.Steiner explains: So there you have it- mystery solved in a most remarkable way...

Dear Manji, The revelations of this mystery occurred in the Ninth Century- see Parsifal. Of course Michael was the Archangel who expelled Lucifer. The story goes that when Michael hit Lucifer's crown with his sabre, a stone from it fell to Earth and later became the Lapis Exilis- the Holy...

Hi Rune S. It's about value and apparent value. Money has an apparent value- given it by the State. It is not energy. You could say all is energy but it takes the same amount of energy to conceive of two cents as it does to conceive of a billion or a trillion dollars. Best, Br.Bruce

Hello Thomas, The feminine of deva is devi. I am more inclined to believe the derivation from "Devi", firstly sounds right (diabolos is quite a jump), secondly, it menas "shining one" (like Lucifer), and lastly the name of "devil" in Zend is "dev": Etymological Meaning of Devil - The Biggest...

Greetings Manji, They get it from spiritual reality. You correctly state that the Devil is Lucifer- interesting the word Devil is meant to be derived from diabolos, but the Sanskrit Deva means "being of light", which could connect with Lucifer "Lightbearer". Some folk will direct you to a...

Considering the well documented damage alcohol does to the brain's frontal lobe, we can now declare the statement: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" to be a "Hobson's Choice". ;)

Hi Greymare, If you are planning on getting pregnant or making someone else pregnant the message is clear. People often talk of the karmic consequences when we injure one another, but what about the lifetime injuries children receive in the womb? I have looked after such children, and it's not...

It is remarkable how some individuals can live their life through pickling their livers, yet remain relatively unscathed. The real damage however that alcohol causes, and why it remains one of the biggest causes of the decline of the human race, is in its effects on the propagation of our...

Hello bananabrain The designation "moon" does not refer to the physical luminary but to a spiritual sphere. The link I posted before was incomplete: Binah (Kabbalah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Lecture: Foundations of Esotericism: Lecture VII Yahweh is one of the Seven Elohim of...

Re: Theosophy: Can we agree that tormenting people for all time is wrong no matter w Addenda for Thomas: "Enter ye in at the narrow gate [pure doctrine]: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat [dogmas of men]. How narrow...

I don't see anything wrong with churches receiving free will donations to support their activities. A "fee for service" is another thing- that is a commercial arrangement. And then there is the issue of charity. A good church will seek to help the needy- not just its own members but all who are...

Hi Flow, What if they voted Scientology out? That's democracy. I think it would be better if all religions were banned from running money making businesses. If they run a business then register as a business. It would certainly sort the wheat out from the chaff. Scientology has a history...

Hi Z, Space is not infinite. How many Angels can you fit on the head of a pin? All of them! Greetings, Br.Bruce

Hello Harfim, In order to understand this Mystery we must firstly have the spiritual capacity to do so. At the time of the Mystery of Golgotha there were some special souls who were able to apprehend it and then impart it to the rest of humanity - the author of St.John's Gospel for example...

And the paradox is, Mee, that once we acknowledge our separateness through sin, we are reconciled. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all...

There is none. If you want to cease to be a Muslim and convert to Christianity, then leave. This has been the experience of of Lina Joy: But apostasy is forbidden in Islam: Michael Kirby on religious freedom and the law -Br.Bruce

Dear Vajradhara, That 500 BC refers to the last incarnation of the Great Gautama. There are many Buddhas, but why would they all have the same teachings? Zarathustra was also a Bodhisattva. And our Buddha is a Christian saint. I got 1,400 results when I searched for the term "Christian...
