Blavatsky From The Path, November, 1886 Published in 1930 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India OVER and over again the abstruse and mooted question of Rebirth or Reincarnation has crept out during the first ten years of the Theosophical Society's existence. It has been alleged on prima facie evidence, that a notable discrepancy was found between statements made in Isis Unveiled, Volume I, pp. 351-2, and later teachings from the same pen and under the inspiration of the same Master.[ See charge and answer, in Theosophist. August 1882] In Isis it was held, reincarnation is denied. An occasional return, only of “depraved spirits" is allowed. ' Exclusive of that rare and doubtful possibility, Isis allows only three cases - abortion, very early death, and idiocy - in which reincarnation on this earth occurs." (“C. C. M." in Light, 1882.) The charge was answered then and there as every one who will turn to the Theosophist of August, 1882, can see for himself. Nevertheless, the answer either failed to satisfy some readers or passed unnoticed.

  • Defiant Afterlife–Disability and Uniting Ourselves To
    Defiant Afterlife{Disability and Uniting Ourselves to God Kevin Timpe, Calvin College We are not justified in affirming even of monstrosities, which are born and die, whowever quickly they may die, that they shall not rise again, nor that they shall rise again in their deformity, and not rather with an amended and perfected body. Augustine, Enchiridion, chapter 87: \The Case of Monstrous Births" Ableism is believing that heaven is an able-bodied place where broken bodies finally become whole. Maria R. Palacios, \Naming Ableism" Abstract Many of the Church's leading theologians have struggled with how indi- viduals with disabilities could be perfectly united to God in the afterlife. For some, union with God requires that individuals with disabilities will have those disabilities `cures' or `healed' prior to heavenly union with God. Others have suggested that certain profound disabilities preclude an individual's ability to have such union, thus suggesting, even if only implicitly, that such individuals have no eschatological place in the Body of Christ. In the present paper, I develop and consider an argument for the possibility of individuals retaining their disabilities in the eschaton and nevertheless enjoying complete union with God (and through God to others). I don't think that the argument I develop here applies equally well to all disabilities; but I think it gives us reason to good to consider heavenly disability as part of a plausible speculative theology. 1 Timpe, “Defiant Afterlife" Logos version 1 Introduction Historically, the treatment of individuals with disabilities1 by the Church has been mixed. Many Christians have evidenced a profound care of and concern for individuals with disabilities throughout much of the Church's history; and there are certainly pockets of its history wherein aspects of the Church have evidenced not just personal but communal care and inclusion of those with disabilities.

  • The Logos As the Medium of Creation and Revelation
    Arnold Janssen Lecture 2014 Arnold Janssen Spirituality Centre, Boronia The Logos as the Medium of Creation and Revelation Jacob Kavunkal svd Of all the concepts of Christian theology, expressing universalism, that of the Logos is second only to the God of creation (Gen 1:1). The fourth evangelist begins his gospel narrative with “the great hymn to the universe” (Marcus Borg), opening with the words: “In the beginning was the Word,” that is revealed in his incarnation in Jesus. For this all- comprehensive universalism John makes use of the term Logos, that has its roots both in the Jewish thought as well as the Greek Philosophy. Dabar in the Old Testament In the bible the link between Jesus Christ and the universal connectedness and relationship is the incarnation of the divine word (dabar). The Old Testament makes use of two words as intermediary between God and creation: wisdom (hokma) and word (dabar). “The worlds were made by the word of God” (Ps 33:6). However, the word wisdom is made use of more frequently in the context of this creation. Recent biblical studies have given new insights into the centrality of wisdom in the ancient Hebrew tradition. Biblical scholarship has shown the importance of the figure of personified wisdom, particularly in the books of Job, Proverbs, Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon. Wisdom is always closely associated with God’s work of creation. Wisdom is connected with the whole of creation; it is present with God at creation as a skilled co-worker (Prov 8:30; Wis 7:22; 8:6).

  • A Brief History of Heaven & Hell
    A Brief History Of Heaven & Hell March 4, 2020 Category: Religion Download as PDF “I don’t believe in an afterlife. So I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.” –Isaac Asimov Two Ultimate Destinations? Much of what we make of heaven and hell exists in our own minds. As Milton famously put it in his anti- monarchical parable, “Paradise Lost” (c. 1666): “The mind is its own universe, and in itself can make a heaven of hell; a hell of heaven.” Lurking in each of us are both angels and demons. Alexander Solzhenitsyn noted this when he said that “the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” Herman Hesse addressed these antagonistic aspects of the soul–struggling with one another for primacy–in “Steppenwolf”. The same theme was used by Goethe in “Faust” and by Dostoyevski in “Crime and Punishment”. Such thinkers recognized that there are the powers of heaven and hell within every one of us. Even as the branches of a great tree stretch up toward the beautiful sky above, its roots reach down toward the dark netherworld below. It is also worth noting that each human life is a mixture of heaven and hell…which is simply to say: some combination of serendipity and tragedy, eudaemonia and malady, rapture and suffering, euphoria and melancholia, miracle and tribulation, bliss and despair…and everything in between. But enough of languishing and flourishing in THIS life.

  • Understanding and Using Logos, Ethos, and Pathos
    School of Liberal Arts University Writing Center “Because writers need readers” Cavanaugh Hall 427 University Library 2125 (317)274-2049 (317)278-8171 www.iupui.edu/~uwc The Rhetorical Triangle: Understanding and Using Logos, Ethos, and Pathos Logos, ethos, and pathos are important components of all writing, whether we are aware of them or not. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in the writing of others and in our own, we can create texts that appeal to readers on many different levels. This handout provides a brief overview of what logos, ethos, and pathos are and offers guiding questions for recognizing and incorporating these appeals. Aristotle taught that a speaker’s ability to persuade an audience is based on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. Considered together, these appeals form what later rhetoricians have called the rhetorical triangle. Logos appeals to reason. Logos can also be thought of as the text of the argument, as well as how well a writer has argued his/her point. Ethos appeals to the writer’s character. Ethos can also be thought of as the role of the writer in the argument, and how credible his/her argument is. Pathos appeals to the emotions and the sympathetic imagination, as well as to beliefs and values. Pathos can also be thought of as the role of the audience in the argument. LOGOS (Reason/Text) ETHOS PATHOS (Credibility/Writer) (Values, Beliefs/Audience) The rhetorical triangle is typically represented by an equilateral triangle, suggesting that logos, ethos, and pathos should be balanced within a text.

  • Jessica Volpe Spirituality Is Representative Of
    PSYCHIC MEDIUMS AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEAD Jessica Volpe Spirituality is representative of all that is intangible, of everything that requires beliefs and faith. Science, on the other hand is representative of logic, fact, and certainty. Recently, science and spirituality have come together, specifically in the realm of afterlife communication. With the current mainstream popularity of psychics and their abilities, a scientific approach has been taken to validate the potential reality of spiritual phenomena. Essentially, the spiritual world and the scientific world, two entities that have usually remained separate, are now beginning to combine. In her book, The Battle for God, Karen Armstrong discusses the concepts of mythos and logos. Mythos is knowledge about the workings of life and what answers life’s questions (xiii). Meanwhile, logos is essentially all that is logical and factual (xiv). In today’s society, there is a pressing need for proof. The mythos aspect of religion is no longer strong enough on its own; what is needed is logos. Consequently, many have begun to turn to psychic ability as proof of an afterlife. James McClenon discusses this issue further in his book, Deviant Science: the Case of Parapsychology, while examining the research regarding spiritual phenomena and its struggle for acceptance. However, the motivation behind the acceptance of psychic evidence in both the scientific as well as the general community must be taken into account. One must consider whether belief and research in spiritual mediums are driven by actual proof or if there is a substantial following simply because people want to believe in communication with the afterlife so badly that they will create evidence to support their claims.

There is a great deal of debate concerning this matter, which does not look to be reconciled any time soon, and many, scholars included, are wont to use these terms interchangeably. It does not help that in many cases there is no single specific definition accepted by both groups, as in the case of Wicca; or that the official dictionary definition is outdated and reflects a quite clearly Christian bias. For example, the Oxford English Dictionary defines a ‘pagan’ as “heathen; unenlightened or irreligious”. One can see immediately how offensive, not to mention inaccurate, such a description would seem to pagans, who are neither unenlightened nor irreligious. In general, one must look at the context in which the word is used to determine its meaning.
