Yes - aren't they great? They're the basis for Michael Gomes Abridgement of the Secret Doctrine. I think she added all that other stuff because she felt the need to try and bridge the gap between religion and science. Most of is not really releva...

For those of you who don't mind a bit of fun online, I started two more quizes: Yoga trivia and facts and Buddhism trivia and facts . Closing this thread for replies. Those who want to share that I've made mistakes in the questions or something ...

I'm closing this discussion. I feel that we're blowing off course here several new threads could be started about: how do we deal with volunteers (make sure they know what jobs to do, feel appreciated and supported etc.) as well as 'the main work ...

When I suggested that we need to ignore the past and individuals, it was a call to unify the 3 main principles of Theosophy. We can do that if we stop giving too much credit to one doctrine over another. It is true that my concentration is on the ...

You mean doctrinal basics?

To move Theosophy into the future, one must ignore its past. It is not about individuals. If we concentrate on the basics, we have a chance.

I've understood that it was always Naarden, but it was Huizen for the post - something to do with changing lines between municipalities (if that's the right word). The area is, at any rate, between the towns Naarden and Huizen, but quite out of t...

This summer I spent nearly a month at the ITC in Naarden to work in the library there. I had a lovely time. I'm happy to report that the interpersonal atmosphere has improved greatly, compared to a few years ago when I was also a regular volunteer there.

Like the whole TS, the ITC is in transition. Last weekend there was a 'friends… Continue

Time for excuses

Hi all,

Reading about dharma wars online - among Buddhist teachers who teach online - made me realize that I've crossed a few lines myself over here. I've deleted the most offensive comments (which never included the names of those involved), and there isn't more that I can do but apologize to everybody.

I do think though it's time for a more general lesson about this. I hope it's clear that I'm preaching to mys… Continue

Let's have some fun with trivia quizes :)

Squidoo has created a template for online quizes that I've been having some fun with. So test out if you really practice the second object of the TS by studying religion, by taking my quiz about religion in general. Or whether you know enough about the largest world religion: Christianity. Perhaps a bit closer to home: I also made… Continue

You are believing Reincarnation which is not truth. Some people like untruths oftenly as they are afraid of death. I think you are one of them

Hoi Katinka,

dankje voor je reactie op mijn page. Nederlands gaat me op elk geval beter van de hand als het Engelsh.

Leuk dat er nog iemand is van Nederland. Ik had gehoopt dat het een Nederlandse Community zou bestaan. Ook omdat er in Amsterdam dacht ik de theosophische bibliothek gevestigd is.

Maat dat was niet zo en maakt ook niet uit, omdat ik zo mijn engelsh kan verbeteren hahahah

Liefe groeten
Holger

Thank you for adding me as a friend. Your page is full of info! Wow!
I was reading your post about chanting Aum. I do this in meditation but I also do it while in the shower. My youngest is 5, and one day she was in the shower with me. When I Aum in the shower I see it in 'waves' of energy cleaning my home. Most of it is silent in my mind and the last Aum, my closing Aum so to speak is said aloud. When I did that she looked at me and said, "Mom is goes everywhere, in the whole house." And put her hands out to show me it it got bigger and bigger. Ha ha ha.
Thank you for all the wonderful reading!
Much love to you!
Angie

Hi Katinka,

It seems that in first attempt I didn't put the reply on the right place.

Thanks for kind reception and I hope that I don't look too scary. I am looking forward for fruithful discussions.

Warmest regards,
Anton
