Rebuttal of Rene Guenon’s Critique of Modern Theosophy
The objective of this article on René Guénon’s critique of Modern Theosophy, which he terms Theosophism is to outline his analysis in Le théosophisme: Histoire d’une pseudo-religion, and not to react to it defensively. Guénon calls the theosophy of the Theosophical Society generally ‘pseudo-Theosophy’ (Theosophism) and ‘pseudo-Christianity.’ He specifically terms Mrs. Annie Besant’s theosophy, ‘pseudo-Christianity’ and ‘neo-Christianity.’ The…

The Last Temptation of Christ: Jesus meets Paul
What we would say to Christians is no different from what is said here to Paul in this interpretation, and what Paul says is what the Theologian tells us, which we regard as inventions. The ridiculousness of Paul’s dialogue here is reminiscent of the religion today. “You know, I’m glad I met you, because now…

The Dan Smoot Report, 1966: “A Constitutional Republic, Not a Democracy”
“The ideal of a constitutional republic is individual liberty. In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our republic, and transforming it into a democracy. The foremost tactic of the subverters is subversion of “language” — by calling America a democracy, until people thoughtlessly accept the term, and use the…

Occultism and the Source of Magical Knowledge
INTRODUCTION OCCULTISM AND THEOLOGY I had explained in Six Points on “Magic”: Theosophy rejects Supernaturalism and Miracle the source of Magic in Occult Philosophy. Theology attributes miracles simply to God, Angels and Saints, through the power of God. The occultist is the explorer intent on discovering the real cause of various hidden phenomena and the…

Chairlift: “Amanaemonesia”
Why do so many movements decline and forget their origins, to the point they cannot even laugh at themselves, or handle a much deserved critique from those that care the most about its condition… mistaken for magic… I took this video sexually, but I could never stop from bursting into laughter at the same time hearing it.…

Blavatsky on Christian Roots in Egyptian Esotericism
In a letter from 1887 Helena P. Blavatsky to the Egyptologist Gerald Massey (1828-1907) differentiates her position from him on the origins of Christianity, explaining that Egyptian esotericism is significant in understanding its origins. This letter was reprinted in The Agnostic Journal (London, October 3, 1891, p. 214) and is a reaction to his lectures…

Gerald Massey: “There’s No Dearth in Kindness”
There’s no dearth of kindness In this world of ours; Only in our blindness We gather thorns for flowers; Outward we are spurning, Trampling one another; While we are inly yearning With the name of “brother!” —Gerald Massey, excerpt from There’s No Dearth of Kindness.

Fohat: The Universal Electric Entity – Danny Wilten
“When an Occultist speaks of Fohat — the energising and guiding intelligence in the Universal Electric or Vital Fluid, — he is laughed at. Withal, as now shown, neither the nature of electricity, nor of Life nor even of Light, are to this day understood. The Occultist sees in the manifestation of every force in Nature, the…

Theosophy in Star Wars: The Force, Its Sides and the “Two Paths”
TWO CENTRAL CONCEPTS IN STAR WARS AND THEOSOPHY: THE FORCE AND THE TWO PATHS There is no coincidence to the fact, there are similarities between Star Wars and Theosophy. The former is a fictional universe, but the latter is an actual high philosophical collection of teachings and ethical codes. In no other school of thought…

Annie Besant before Theosophy and her Story
Annie Besant was women’s rights and labor activist, a British intellectual and orator. Annie Besant left the Anglican Church, and became a secularist reformer, as an atheist and Fabian socialist. Her deepening interest in theosophy caused her to break with the Fabians and Marxists. This was before she joined the T.S. — “marching towards theosophy” around 1888. Helena P. Blavatsky had some…
