First, the message of the kingdom of heaven is a genuine offer from God to rule in the hearts of those who believe in His name. We were made to live forever somewhere. The old body is …. The ruler of China in every Chinese dynasty would perform annual sacrificial rituals to heaven, usually by slaughtering two healthy bulls as a sacrifice. In the 19th century book Legends of the Jews , rabbi Louis Ginzberg compiled Jewish legends found in rabbinic literature. So just as Jesus was able to materialize or dematerialize at will, due to the nature of His new celestial body, so too will we! Under the old covenant no one could come near God except under very strict conditions. Heaven and earth, as personified powers of nature and thus worthy of worship, are evidently not of equal age. Not everyone is in heaven now. The first instance of this was His initial Resurrection. For other uses, see Heaven disambiguation. An Elementary Study of Islam. In heaven there will be no strangers.

  • The Voice of the Silence”
    MYSTICISM IN “THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE” By SUSRUVA Transaction No 61 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF WORLD CULTURE. Bangalore 560004 TRANSACTIONS Many valuable lectures are given, papers read and discussed and oral reviews of out- standing books presented at the INDIAN INSTITUTE OF WORLD CULTURE. These Tran- sactions represent some of these lectures and papers and are printed for wider dissemination in the cause of better intercultural understanding so important for world peace and human brotherhood. TRANSACTION No. 61 The Voice of the Silence, translated and annotated by H. P. Blavatsky, is a mystic treatise belonging to the trans-himalayan tradition. It has been the subject of a large number of commentaries and explanations which are still insufficient. This paper was delivered at the Indian Institute of World Culture by Susruva, who is a student of Theosophy of long standing, on White Lotus Day in 1981. © 1982, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF WORLD CULTURE All Rights Reserved Printed by W. Q. Judge Press, 97, Residency Road, Bangalore 560 025 and published by the Indian Institute of World Culture, 6 Shri B. P. Wadia Road, Basavangudi, Bangalore 560 004. Printed in India. MYSTICISM IN “THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE” The term Mysticism defies definition. There are many definitions given in the books deal" ing with the subject. But, defining a thing means limiting it, crucifying by putting the idea on the Procrustean bed for the sake of verbal formulation, thus imprisoning reality within the framework of words. Is Truth then a picture to be framed or a fish to be caught in the network of words? If words reveal, don’t they also hide? As an example, let us take the word “God”.

  • On the Kama-Loka and Devachan
    The Soul's Journey through Life and Death – Part 4 Excerpts from: Key to Theosophy On The Kama-Loka and Devachan On The Fate of the Lower "Principles" ENQUIRER. You spoke of Kama-loka, what is it? THEOSOPHIST. When the man dies, his lower three principles leave him forever; i.e., body, life, and the vehicle of the latter, the astral body or the double of the living man. And then, his four principles — the central or middle principle, the animal soul or Kama- rūpa, with what it has assimilated from the lower Manas, and the higher triad find themselves in Kama-loka. The latter is an astral locality1, the limbus2 of scholastic theology, the Hades3 of the ancients, and, strictly speaking, a locality only in a relative sense. It has neither a definite area nor boundary, but exists within subjective space; i.e., is beyond our sensuous perceptions. Still it exists, and it is there that the astral eidolons4 of all the beings that have lived, animals included, await their second death. For the animals it comes with the disintegration and the entire fading out of their astral particles to the last. For the human eidolon it begins when the Ātma-Buddhi-Manasic triad is said to "separate" itself from its lower principles, or the reflection of the ex-personality, by falling into the Devachanic state. 1 Locality - The fact or quality of having position in space. 2 Limbus - (Latin. for "edge," "fringe," e.g. of a garment), a theological term denoting the border of hell, where dwell those who, while not condemned to torture, yet are deprived of the joy of heaven.

  • Theosophical Articles and Notes
    THEOSOPHICAL ARTICLES AND NOTES Reprinted from Original Sources THE THEOSOPHY CO. Los Angeles 1985 ISBN 0-938998-29-3 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Scanned & edited by volunteers at the United Lodge of Theosophists, London, UK. Edited Oct 2020 & April 2021 FOREWORD The articles in this volume come from a variety of sources. They are presented here for their intrinsic worth to students of Theosophy. They are grouped according to the place of first appearance —in the Theosophist, Lucifer, the Path, and other sources. Within these groupings they are arranged chronologically. Internal evidence strongly suggests that some of them have an “adept” origin, and they are so presented. One or two articles unintentionally omitted from Theosophical Articles by H.P.B. and W.Q.J. are included. Other contributions, not identified as to author, are of a quality which makes it appropriate to reprint them here. Thus there are articles, replies and notes which appeared in the Theosophist and Lucifer, also material by Damodar K. Mavalankar, and two articles signed “Murdhna Joti” from the Path. Cicero’s “Vision of Scipio” is included by reason of H.P.B.’s briefly informative footnotes. Judge’s “Notes on the Bhagavad Gita” is a Path article which was not a part of the book of that name. Finally, there is material taken from A.P. Sinnett’s The Occult World, from the notes of Robert Bowen, a pupil of H.P.B., and also from notes found in the effects of Countess Wachtmeister, apparently taken down from dictation by H.P.B.

  • Art. XIV.— Buddhist Saint Worship
    218 ART. XIV.—Buddhist Saint Worship. By ARTHUR LILLIE, M.R.A.S. A STUDENT of Buddhism cannot proceed very far in his inquiry without being confronted with a tremendous contra- diction. Perhaps I may be allowed here to speak from personal experience. I read Le Bouddha et sa Religion, by M. Barthelemy St.-Hilaire, and one or two well-known works; and soon learnt that annihilation (sunyata) was the lot of the Saint when he had reached the Bodhi or Highest Wisdom, and freed himself from the cycle of new births. I then came across Schlagintweit's Buddhism in Tibet, which contains a sort of litany called The Buddhas of Confession. In it is the following passage :— " I adore the Buddha Sa-la'i-rgyal-po. Once uttering this name shall purify from all sins of theft, robbery, and the like." This puzzled me. This being was a Buddha. In consequence he had suffered, or enjoyed, complete annihila- tion. Why then should the pronouncing the name Sa-la'i- rgyal-po purify from all sins of " theft, robbery, and the like ? " Then I remembered that in old religions very holy names like I.A.O., A.U.M., etc., had often got to be thought more potent than the God himself. I mention all this to show that I am not at all surprised at people clinging to the idea that the Bodhi in the earliest Buddhism meant annihila- tion in spite of the strong evidence that can be brought against it. I myself for some time did the same.

    H.P.B.’s “THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY” & Related Material: A Chronology Compiled and edited by Daniel H. Caldwell The Blavatsky Study Center http://hpb.cc ------------------------ OCTOBER, 1888 Volume One of H. P. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine is published in London. On the last page of the "Table of Contents" (p. xvi), one finds at the bottom of the page this printed note: "N.B.---The Index and Glossary will be found at the close of Volume II." When Volume Two of The Secret Doctrine comes off the press toward the end of 1888, this volume does NOT contain the promised Glossary of Terms. ---------------------- JANUARY 11, 1889 William Q. Judge in New York replies as follows to an inquiry from C. H. Whitaker about why the promised Glossary was missing from Volume Two: "Dear Sir, I cannot throw light on the matter of the glossary. Perhaps it was found [by H.P.B.] to be too great a work and too much for the expense. I think it will be gotten out [at some point in the future]...." "...personally I think it was too much to offer a glossary with the Secret Doctrine. A real Glossary would involve 3 vols more." Quoted from: Judge, William Q. Practical Occultism: From the Private Letters of William Q. Judge. Pasadena, California: Theosophical University Press, 1951. --------------------- NOVEMBER 1890 (early) H. P.
