"I think that the idea that photographic memory is somehow involved in the writings of Britten and HPB is a legitimate hypothesis. Present-day science is methodologically bound to find naturalistic causes for the phenomena it investigates. This…"

Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion What did Blavatsky Miss?"Interesting ideas, Paul. Never thought about photographic memory as a more naturalistic explanation for some of such writings. And applying Marc Demarest's method to HPB's works would be useful, regardless of possible outrage (which might…"
Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion What did Blavatsky Miss?"Ok. I see what you're referring to. Wonder who might have addressed this controversy most systematically. None of the scholars have done so.

Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion Other Spiritual Groups in Existence Before and After the TS Was Founded"They can get their spot on a diagram that would focus on post-1980 developments in the New Age, especially if the focus is also more on subject matter rather than groups and personalities. Esoteric evolutionism has always been a part of the…"

The Findhorn and Spangler prominence is based on Hanegraaaff's work. Spangler's channeled Revelation: The Birth of a New Age is considered by Hanegraaff as "one of the foundational texts of the New Age Movement."…"

Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion Other Spiritual Groups in Existence Before and After the TS Was Founded"Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, New Thought should be included. Try to remember from what source the Findhorn 'meme' became prominent. Not sure if New Spirituality is not already included in Hanegraaff's sense of New Age in the…"
Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion What did Blavatsky Miss?"Dear June,
Which sources are you referring to? Best sources so far known to me would be the BCW with Zirkoff's additions, Godwin's The Theosophical Enlightenment and Paul's work, though none go into the origin of specific…"
Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion What did Blavatsky Miss?"Dear Paul,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm following up on the idea of the influence of occult literature. It's quite a rich field of inquiry. The importance of this genre seems to be to disseminate occult ideas, and, maybe more…"

Govert Schuller replied to Joe Fulton's discussion What did Blavatsky Miss?"Dear Paul,
Could you compose a list of writers and their main works of both occult fiction and non-fiction (with year of publication), maybe even with assigning probabilities about HPB having access to them? I'm thinking here of writers like…"
Govert Schuller commented on Joaquim Soares's blog post Truth and Illusion in Theosophical Literature"One concrete error one could mull over and analyze is HPB's selective and misleading appropriation of some ideas of a French Masonic writer by the name of Jean Marie Ragon.
The case is that she parrots Ragon's claim that a 1st…"
M K Ramadoss commented on Govert Schuller's blog post Communication: Jean Overton Fuller's Response to Govert Schuller Regarding the Krishnamurti-Scott-Anrias Issue"There was something about K that attracted very large crowds for his lectures.

Govert Schuller commented on Govert Schuller's blog post Communication: Jean Overton Fuller's Response to Govert Schuller Regarding the Krishnamurti-Scott-Anrias Issue"Whatever one thinks of her, the only person with charisma in the (neo-)theosophical movement in the 1975-2000 period was Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

- hi Govert,
thanx for all the great info on alpheus. i find the "INITIATE" books fascinating & i was hoping you might be willing to share the names of the "some" people you know who consider OOM to be J.M.H. and the reasons they put forward to support this identification.
(i have reference to the following comment on your "E-MAIL FROM JOHN LAIDLAW" page:
"There is a scholarly Web site on Dr. Pierre Arnold Bernard, who is, according to some, the best candidate for the real identity of the character J.M.H. in Scott's Initiate books]"
thank you for your time
