  • Psychic and Noetic Action - Part I
    2024/10/16

    In Helena P. Blavatsky’s article on Psychic and Noetic Action - Part I, she distinguishes between motivational inspiration that comes only humans, from the plane of the soul, versus actions that are more simply byproducts of the thrust of our personalities. Though late 1800’s scientists dismissed free will as nonexistent, one by one, their methods of analysis and faulty logic is exposed. With the finite perception of scientists’ overemphasis on gross matter toppled, she broadens the view, to reveal an understanding of our dual nature and how this affects what is in our minds.

    Coming soon is Part II of this article, delving more deeply into how this dual nature, which is unique to mankind, guides our actions.

  • The Source of Thought and Wisdom
    2024/05/02

    The Secret Doctrine’s author and founder of Theosophy, Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, addressed her scientific contemporaries as not brilliant conveyers of newly discovered truths, but as fallible men, whose inquiries into the very subjects of the day they popularized, as being too shallow to accurately inform their public. At the time of her writings in the 1860s, scientific discoveries were propelling the industrial age and Western medicine forward, but in the subtle subjects such as psychology, understanding the precursors to thought entering the human mind and how to discern wisdom from falsehood, the coarseness of their mentalities impeded accuracy. She sites materialism, complete rejection of the soul and our Higher Self and more, as their fateful impediments, yet manages to she brightens the path to informed discernment for her readers.

  • The Sevenfold Constitution of Man - Part 2
    2023/11/01

    Part 2 of the Sevenfold Constitution of Man, delves further into each plane of our human nature. Understanding the physical brain’s limited role opens insights into our existence, which lies far beyond the tangible substance that science claims as the sole reality. Here we become acquainted with the upper and lower forms of Manas, our mind’s earthly wants and desires versus our intuition, as the better informer. With Manas and Buddhi clarified, the difference between knowledge and wisdom becomes apparent, as does its source, Atman. Without the lens of dogmatic religion, how the individual man is identical to the entire cosmology, is brilliantly clarified.

  • The Sevenfold Constitution Of Man -Part 1
    2023/09/20

    Though we commonly perceive ourselves as having a body, mind and spirit, we’re rarely offered an explanation of the latter two or the subdivisions of them, which actually represent seven aspects of ourselves. Here in our third episode of the Musings on Theosophy podcast, we come to have an intimate understanding of each of these levels of existence and how they work in tandem to support the whole being. Just as the human body has infinitesimal systems that work simultaneously with each other, whether we are aware of them or not, the more subtle parts of the human being have equal complexity and brilliance. The continuing existence of aspects of ourselves after the body is shed, clarifies misconceptions commonly held, broadening our understanding of the journey of the human race.
