Lori – this topic has the possibility of ‘deep thought’…thanks for  this fine beginning.

You mention the opening of the new age – the 9th Age – as 1926 and the need for a universal mythic understanding of the nature of our world as ONE whole. The story or the myth of The Magical Carousel (TMC) or the journey through the zodiac, is the answe…[Read more]

Lori,

Devinder gave us a link a few days ago to his book THE UNANSWERED. I purused the first few chapters: He has put a lot of effort into exploring and teaching about the Ayanamsa Puzzle – Various Ayanamsas, Roots and Pitfalls.  In fact there are pages of different zero points, and so forth.  That is a primary focus of his r…[Read more]

The question has come up on this forum – What is Thea’s cosmolog?

A year ago, Thea wrote a series of articles, titled The Cosmological Perspective and in the first piece she says: “There is an underlying premise or backdrop for events transpiring on Earth, which, though ignored, is on the order of a cosmological constant that serves not only as…[Read more]

Finally I understand Hari Malla’s underlying premise.  Over the years he has thrown up a lot of arguments or enticing premises which now seem  irrelevant or more superficial. He now explains how he sees the earth – and the quest.

This interaction between ACC and his group has been very enlightening  and should be studied by all students of Th…[Read more]

Chapter 7 of TNW 1 holds so much substance/info for the budding collectivity – I go back to that and marvel on what has been laid down as the foundations for the rise and establishment of a gnostic society…The TOOL is a new eye, the METHOD is a new seeing, the RESULT is a new vision for the Earth opening doors to a new world (p,93).

Yes, an o…[Read more]

i can only marvel at the consciousness of this earth/this physical body… thanks, patricia…but tell me… isn’t this image quite different from the earlier ones we ‘grew up with” – the DNA ladder?

I tried to copy a quote from TNW 1, ch 7, on The Centre – didn’t work.  But it was relevant to the discussion on cancer cells run amok/disorder in the body –  to paraphrase:  as soon as a sense of truth-conscioiusness enters oneself,  a vibration begins which automatically starts a dissolution process – the old and new cannot coexist. There is a…[Read more]

I am happy to read these entires on a new way of illness and cure thereof…and what particularly strikes me is Thea’s statement on expansion of consciousness as expansion of love…I have the physical experience of late that this is true – one can shrivel up/age/stay at a very egoist level of functioning-being at any stage in one’s life or choo…[Read more]

I am up to the section 1.6 on the website on Kozyrev (JC’s latest reply) – and have a lot more to learn. But so far I find it interesting that He, like Sri Aurobindo, found his deepest insights while confined to jail – as he mused on the mysteries of the universe, discovering that all life draws off energy from nature to sustain itself. And lat…[Read more]

The Organiser (1 March 2015) carried an interview  of Michael Cremo, – Vedic Alternative to Darwinism, and it’s interesting in terms of your question: how does it all fit? An excerpt (p. 28):

“According to the Veda…I am spirit, pure consciousness. This consciousness is not produced by matter  It is independent from matter. … it can come into a…[Read more]

Recall Bhopal Tragedy To Know Real Teresa

When her reaction to the gas tragedy was sought, Mother Teresa projected it as a consequence of sin and said the affected must seek forgiveness. Then she deflected the issue to abortion, a pet subject of the Church.

I just talked with Thea and she brought up the topic I put…[Read more]

Mother Teresa’s aim was conversion, says Bhagwat – This is the headline over an article in yesterday’s HINDU newspaper, with a short piece on what the head of the RSS said to his group: her work was fine, but there is no doubt in his mind what her agenda was. Bhagwat obviously felt he needed to clarify his position, particularly after PM Modi pra…[Read more]

This article reminds me much of what Thea has said: There are so many forces in and outside of the country that do not want this new government to succeed. The author reminds the Prime Minister that being an outsider is his greatest asset. And cautions him…[Read more]

Interesting reaction to the PM’s speech – as Thea comments: of course this is a necessary political move – he has been so criticised for not speaking out for minorities…

India’s Conundrum – choice of destiny: to glorify the past or to move to the future…I had no intention of introducing a new topic…so thanks, and do carry on…

Harish, for that matter, where does any religion stand during this Age of Aquarius, including Hinduism?

I’ve been studying Sri Aurobindo’s The Renaissance in India, and came across the quote that Thea chose to put at the beginning of the Guidebook to the exhibition:

The greatness of the ideals of the past is a promise of greater ideals for the…

After your Forum Entry Robert I checked out Tulsi (love that name) Gabbard:

Tulsi Gabbard gave an address in India on 4/1/2015, titled: The Future of Indo-American Relations. This was sponsored by India Foundation (an RSS think tank according to the Web).

Her appearance and address was covered by The Telegraph newspaper on that date, titled:…[Read more]

The people I am referring to my earlier email are columnists we follow here in South India, in the NIE, – you can find their articulate and insightful response to Obama’s speeches in the 8 February edition under Columns – well worth the read:
