It is interesting to see several threads of thought weave themselves together as a tapestry of sorts.  Over the last several days a couple themes have emerged, more or less in sync with each other.

The first is the resumption of a discussion on Cultural Creatives, originally started by Martin Euser.  Martin is one of the very most creative people in the theosophical world.  His combination of social consciousness and thinking outside of the box make everything he writes an exploration…

The Goddess and the Role of Women

Rene Wadlow

 

It is only when women start to organize in large numbers that we become a political force, and begin to move towards the possibility of a truly democratic society in which every human being can be brave, responsible, thinking and diligent in the struggle to live at once freely and unselfishly.

Dalai Lama’s Chicago public talk on July 17 and his public conversation with leaders from major world religions on July 28 would be live streamed on Internet for free.

The new website www.krotonaarchives.com setup by Joseph Ross is a welcome addition to theosophical history.

 

Since Ross has a lot of very valuable historical documents and possibly artifacts of interest, it would be of great interest and value to everyone interested in theosophy, Krishnamurti and Krotona if these material are scanned and provided on the website.

 

Today, good fast scanners are not expensive and the…

From Krotona, Theosophy and Krishnamurti, 1927-1931:

 

The author feels that it may be important to examine what is meant by the word religion in the statement, “the Theosophical Society is to be a cornerstone of a new religion.” Is religion a matter of churches, temples, rituals and beliefs? Or is it the moment-to- moment discovery of Life’s movement? A movement which may have any name, or no name at…

The author, Joseph Ross has just joined our community and we all should welcome him. He is the well known author of several books on Krotona, Theosophy, Krishnamurti etc.

 

I am looking forward to reading the recent book on Krotona, Theosophy and Krishnamurti.

 

Specifically I am looking forward to its availability in a non-proprietary format such as pdf, so that it can be read on any computer device without the need to buy devices such as Kindle. This approach…

I found this rather wonderful quote from the Indian spiritual giant, Sri Aurobindo, a few days ago...

 

"The very spirit of Yoga is this, to make the exceptional normal, and to turn that which is above us and greater than our normal selves into our own constant consciousness."

eBooks and shape of future of free publications



While browsing on Internet, I was surprised to find free several theosophical publications are available on Barnes & Noble’s Nook eReader. All these free books are out of print books. The eBook phenomenon in books - both old and new - is taking off and the current attraction is the immediate download and low prices. There is a push to keep the prices low to attract larger readership by keeping the royalties higher at lower selling… Continue

Curiosity is what defines my life for the most part.  There is a lot to learn, and sometimes it seems like all answering a question does is breed more questions.  That is a good thing, I guess.  Will I find the ultimate answers?  If so will it even be possible to communicate them, or even one? I don't know.  It shouldn't stop anyone from asking.  My favorite type of question has been the "Dangerous Question," you know the one that everyone know will start a lot of trouble just for the…
