Janz, I appreciate your observations about Theosophy. The comment you made above however, fits exactly what I think Theosophy's current view on race is. That is why I have serious concerns about them. But I guess I am glad they did not make the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of hate groups.

I have provided more links to reliable reference materials than Nick or Bruce. The last reference, from the University in Sweden, I provided, addresses your specific earlier point. It explains that there is a link from the racist ideas of their day to those of today, because much of the same...

Bruce, thanks for the link. I found another resource that is quite interesting. It indicates that the ideas about racial inferiority which were first proposed in early Theosophy are still prevalent in todays thinking. The relates to the rationale that Brian was seeking for a contemporary...

Bruce, Please see thread ==========>>>> http://www.interfaith.org/forum/theosophy-open-discussion-12364.html#post219804

Paladin, your comment reminds me of Tao Te Ching 54.2: Cultivate it in yourself; its virtue shall be true Cultivate it in your family; its virtue shall be abundant Cultivate it in the community; its virtue shall be lasting Cultivate it in the country; its virtue shall be properous Cultivate it...

Right, Brian, so far we are in full agreement,. :) Not really, Brian, although this was the argument that Nick tried to put forward, it was a weak one to anyone who knows anything about Darwin. His contributions were not in the area of social engineering, which the Madame was seeking to...

"Is G-d Good" is not the same as "do rectangles really have 4 sides". I disagree. Do you want to make a case for your assertion or are you waiting for others to make the case for you ?

Penelope, it does seem that circumcision was used as an early Egyptian custom. I can also imagine that this custom might have been developed by early Canaanites or even Mesopotamians and the idea carried between societies by travelling traders. Many customs were exchanged this way in the...

Just trying to exchange some "fun' stuff and ideas with Bruce and Nick :D ! There seems to be a wealth of information available about Thesosophy, I look forward to sharing with everyone !!

Hi Bruce, Here is another Theosophy source that I would like your thoughts on. I am not sure about the authenticity of this website, it is sort of like the fun references you have provided: HELENA PETROVNA BLAVATSKY: ONE EXTRA-LARGE MEDIUM

Mysti, your style reminds me of another poster in this forum, but I cannot put my finger on it yet. Which city in Scotland did you say you live in :D ?

Bruce, please give us your thoughts on this article: http://www.katinkahesselink.net/faq/ariosophy.html

Here is the problem that I have with Theosophy, Bruce. I see multiple levels of distinction: 1) The races are divided and strongly distinuished, 2) The basis for this division / distinction is not based on biological, biochemical, physiological or anthropological distinction. It is based on...

Bruce, as I said on the earlier post, I think this discussion is better continued in the B&S sub-forum because it is a neutral setting. ===========>>>>>>>http://www.interfaith.org/forum/theosophy-open-discussion-12364.html#post219740

Does Theosophy have an emphasis on racial differences ? Does Theosophy examine racial issues in an objective, scientific manner ? Lets take a look at some of Nick's and Bruce's posts in the Esoteric sub-forum: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<===============...

Ok Bruce and Nick, you are obviously both very focused on racial differences. I would like to invite you to the B&S sub-forum, where we can discuss your focus on racial differences in an open setting...

Sure, the Rabbi is a master teacher. Bloom's taxonomy explains that learning happens on different hierarchical levels. I think you will see these hierarchical levels exhibited in his class lessons.

Only listened to first 15 minutes so far. I liked the teaching style, very active learning approach. The women immediately jumped on the sexist part, I liked that too :D. I agreed with the comments about G-d's lovingkindness. Also the comment about G-d in the high places. Some nice critical...

Brian, they only problem with this theory is that after the TS chose him it resulted in significant disagreement within the movement and Krishnamurti rejected Theosophy after 1929: Jiddu Krishnamurti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
