As a

Do we meet H P Blavatsky’s Soulless Beings?
"Shape without form and shade without color
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;”
In the
concluding section of “The Waste Land”
Published
in 1922 T S Eliot like H P Blavatsky
says that man
must go back to the Ancient Wisdom
which predates
modern formal religions.
“To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n.”
Satan puts his case in Milton’s
Paradise Lost
Is he expressing the attachment to material gain and power
of someone trapped on the lower levels of the Astral Plane?
Was
Christ born at a time when there was a gap
in the market
for a new religion?
H P
Blavatsky suggests that existing religions
of the day were
already in decline.
Shifting the Centre of Gravity from the Physical Body
to the Consciousness is a major empowerment.
In “Gods in Exile”, J J Van Der Leeuw goes further
by postulating that control of the Mental Body through
the imagination is essential in making our sure that
our Physical Body is our servant.
Have you inherited something that isn’t yours?
Are inconvenient family traits, expectations
and traditions part of your current Karmic burden?
You can still put your needs first
Christianity gets the
Contract
“Everyone must submit himself to the governing
authorities,
for there is no authority except that which God has
established.
The authorities that exist have been established by God.”
(Romans 13: 1.
This is St Paul speaking)
Was this one of the clinchers that sold Christianity
to Roman Emperor Constantine, putting it on the road
to becoming the major religion of the West ?
Sounds like a good deal but there’s a catch,
you may be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
You may open your Karmic pipeline and find your
Karmic overdraft being called in a bit too quickly
“in English….I find
but one word to express,
perhaps,
twenty different ideas, in the Eastern
tongues,
especially Sanskrit, there are twenty
words
or more to render one idea in its
various
shades of meaning.”
From
H P Blavatsky’s Indian Metaphysics

However, during the 1877- 78 Russo – Turkish War
in the Balkans, the anti-Russian mood of the American
press prompted her to make a public defence
Nature
is Conquered by Obedience
Can
you get Karma working for you?
Yes,
But there’s no quick fix.
Wasted Opportunities in this Life
When accused of fraud by Richard Hodgson in 1884,
H P Blavatsky reveals in a letter that she sees this
setback as Karma activated by the Path she has chosen
H P
Blavatsky on shortening the period between lives
Since the earliest
days of Theosophical Society,
H P Blavatsky
warned that acquiring Psychic powers
does not necessarily denote Spiritual Development.
Spiritual
Progress in Devachan
The
state of Devachan offers considerable possibilities
for spiritual
progress but you need to think
about this
before you get there.

From Karmic Visions By H P Blavatsky 1888.
In this unusual saga, a victorious Frankish 10th
century
Christian warrior king is cursed and
reincarnated
to be king of his enemies and to suffer the
misery
he has inflicted. He is now heir to the throne
of
the German militarist state and given visions
of defeat
by the Franks and other tribes in a horrendous
war.

I shall not want Pipit in Heaven:
Madame Blavatsky will
instruct me
From T S Eliot’s “ A Cooking Egg” Published 1920.
With wasted
opportunities and his marriage
to childhood sweetheart Pipit having
burdened him with stultifying family Karma,
a failed intellectual turns to Esoteric Teachings
to regain control of his destiny.
Rethinking the Role of the Family
Time was, when being born into a family was
often like
joining the crew under the command
of a captain
who ran a very tight ship.
Family membership entailed obedience,
This structure is now rare in our society
and modern
replacements are more fluid
What has been lost and what benefits do the new
structures
offer in the quest for Spiritual Growth ?
C W Leadbeater applied this optimistic statement to
the quest for spiritual perfection through the
cycle of death and rebirth, but there’s a catch.
You can only leave when you have qualified for the higher
examinations and in evolutionary terms this may mean
the equivalent of staying at school until you are 37.
Theosophy can get you out earlier.
The
Earth Damaged by our Thoughts
A psychometrist can read the imprint left on a physical
object
by the thoughts
and emotions of those who have owned
or come into
contact with it. Mankind’s thoughts and
emotions also
leave an imprint on our planet.
H P Blavatsky on
Dealing with Change
Comfort Zones are not the Answer
The main cause of pain lies in our perpetually
seeking
the permanent in the impermanent, and not only
seeking,
but acting as if we had already found the
unchangeable
in a world of which the one certain quality we
can
predicate is constant change
*********************
The idea of growth involves also the idea of
disruption:
the inner being must continually burst through
its
confining shell or encasement, and such a
disruption
must also be accompanied by pain, not physical
but mental and intellectual.

The Difficulties of Esoteric Study
for the Intellectually Dominated Mind
“book-learning, and here I refer only to the
subject
of Occultism — vast as it may be, will always
prove
insufficient even to the analytical mind—the
most
accustomed to extract the quintessence of
truth,
disseminated throughout thousands of
contradictory
statements — unless supported by personal
experience and practice.”
From Occultism or Magic By H P Blavatsky

“and with ambitious aim
Against the Throne and Monarchy of God
Rais'd impious War in Heav'n and Battel
proud
With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th'
Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine
and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,”
From Milton’s
Paradise Lost
*************************
And
there was war in heaven, Michael and
his
angels fought against the dragon, and the
dragon
and his angels fought back. But he was
not
strong enough, and they lost their place in
heaven.
The great dragon was hurled down –
that
ancient serpent called the devil or Satan,
who
leads the whole world astray. He was
hurled
to the earth and his angels with him.
From
Revelation Chapter 12 Verses 7 -9
**********************
H
P Blavatsky explains why most religious traditions
have
at least one war in heaven with some having several.

an indefinite

sensations.”
