I say that Republicanism is not about the supremacy of Conservatism or Liberalism, though it is the root of the American order. I also claim that Theosophy, eclecticism, Freemasonry and the history of occultists and esoteric Philosophy is a missing key to understanding these roots, which…

Republicanism in the Radicalism of the American Revolution | Bradley J. Birzer
“For Wood, one of Bailyn’s former students, Republicanism was much more than a political philosophy; it was, rather, organic, a lifestyle and a way of thinking. Republicanism, a utopian movement striving for the full reconstruction of society, explains Wood in his Pulitzer-Prizing winning book, The Radicalism of the American Revolution, represented a historical phase lodged…

Alice Bailey’s Alleged Tibetan Buddhist Source and Political Idealism
INTRODUCTION: THE LERNAEAN HYDRA OF RELIGIOUS POLITICAL CONSPIRACIES Christians that use Alice A. Bailey (born Alice La Trobe-Bateman) to attack Theosophy prove to believe in the ideas of Alice Bailey far more than we Theosophists do.

Christian Truth, or the eclectic Theosophical System
Every effort to help the West has failed and faced trials, each falling into the same patterns of individual and organizational turmoil, blame and mythologizing an adversary.

What should be the role of Black people in this time of political despair?
Just because the world puts empathy for Black people at the bottom of the rung, does not mean we ought to expect the world to put empathy for us at the middle-point or highest rung. No doubt, empathy everywhere by everyone is needed. Just because empathy for Black people is at the bottom of the…

Theosophy in Italy before Blavatsky: Bl. Antonio Rosmini-Serbati and the Rosminians
HELENA P. BLAVATSKY frequently visited Italy in namely Bologna, Bari, Trieste, Venice, Rome, and Naples. Many of her acquaintances in Italy became members of the Theosophical Society.

Racism, Freemasonry and fighting degeneration of American Politics
A situation I have absolutely no patience for is the condition esotericists everywhere find themselves in. What has been the main obstacle to simple propagation of Theosophy, without any elaborate spiritual explanation? This is gossip, instigation, inner conflict, mass paranoia (an intrinsic feature to American politics), pre-established religious conditioning, hoaxes and the flaws of human…
