Chairlift: “Amanaemonesia”

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.

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…

Manly P. Hall: the Great Value of Blavatsky’s “The Secret Doctrine”
Manly P. Hall on the influence of H.P.B.’s writings from his Landmarks of Esoteric Literature Lecture “We have not yet reached that point in international thinking, in which we could be fair about the opinions, beliefs, and convictions of other peoples; and even today, if a poll were taken, I think it would be safe…

“I Dread The Appearance In Print Of Our Philosophy” | The Mahatma Letter No. 56
“By most of your gold worshipping countrymen our facts and theorems would be denominated fancy-flights, the dreams of madmen.” The Occult Philosophy taught to the Theosophists does not belong to them, but to the men, that were teachers to H.P.B.
