christinaleestemaker One little step, great result. 2009 into 2010

Kara LeBeau Roerich's Shambhala

Roerich's Shambhala by Kara LeBeau at TheosophyWatch.com “Shamballa is the indispensable site where the spiritual world unites with the material one.” -Nicholas & Helena Roerich OVER 120 years ago, it was Helena Blavatsky who introduced the legacy of Shambhala to Western seekers, otherwise it might have remained hidden in the domain of a few scholars. “Shambhala” means “source of happiness” in Sanskrit.

TE Locke Elven World

It seems that most of us have a profoundly spiritual connection to the Earth. This is perhaps even more poignant today, with the Earth's changes having such a tremendous influence in our lives.

A step beyond this, we feel the oneness of ourselves with these spirits -- they they are we and we are one. The ancients knew an lived these ideas but were unable to hold onto this knowledge… Continue

At this moment, you are thinking. You are thinking because you can, and because you have to. You have to because you are surrounded by stimuli from every direction. You are hearing, seeing and feeling things around you. You are also trying to see, hear, and touch things around you. But what you say and express through your actions are only a fraction of what who you are, and the things that you can do. Look at me? Look me in the eye and tell what you just said again. Is this my life you ask? R… Continue

Nabil Naser People and Theosophy

I tried to get a common definition of Theosophy. It was a tough task that bore no fruit People definitely are impossible to define, let alone what they think theosophy is Yet here we are. Trying, each in our way, to show and explain Theosophy. I say give up the title All religions will eventually merge under the influence of science and history If you do not know what you are protecting, how do you know it is worth protecting? Continue
