The Aquarian Theosophist, February 2023

 

 
 
 
Dear Friends,
 
The February edition of the Aquarian is largely dedicated to the challenges of studying esoteric philosophy. 
 
Page one brings the article “Learning Theosophy: A Knowledge Beyond Words”, which says:
 
It is often difficult for students of esoteric philosophy to fully grasp basic facts. Among them, the fact that philosophical knowledge is not in words, and is not conveyed by them. Knowledge has to be transmitted or achieved in some other way. One can count on the help, but not more than the help, of the written teachings. It took me quite a while to realize the many implications of this fact.”
 
The text proceeds:
 
Between 1999 and 2002 I identified and documented the deep gap that separates the authentic teachings of theosophy from the pseudo-esoteric fantasies produced in the period between 1892 and 1933. I then naively thought that the rational, sincere study of the authentic teachings would generate an efficient theosophical action.
 
Other topics in this edition:
 
* Preserving and Purifying: Helena Blavatsky, On Vishnu and Shiva-Rudra.
 
* Firmness, Accuracy, Open-Mindedness - in the Study of the S.D. and the Spiritual Path.

* A Personal Revolution: Practical Effects of Studying the Secret Doctrine.
 
* Swami Sivananda: The Power of Ideas.
 
* Why Should Young People Study ‘The Secret Doctrine’, and How? - A Message to People From 10 Years Old to One Hundred, by Steven H. Levy.
 
* Thoughts Along the Road: There Is a Basic Central Principle That Helps Organize Karma and Define the Way It Unfolds.
 
* Ivan A. Il’in: The Need for an Autonomy of the Soul. 

* Truthfulness in the West - And the World Transition.

* Perhaps We Are All Blessed, For Globalism Has Imploded.

* Two Cartoons: Regarding the Recyclic Nature of Life. 

With 19 pages, the edition presents the List of New Items in the associated websites.

The Aquarian Theosophist, January 2023

 

 
 
 
Dear Friends,
 
The front page of the January edition presents an uncomfortable question: “Is the USA Working to Build World Peace?
 
The article says:
 
Good-willing persons should watch with care the actions of our great world champion of human rights, the only country which has used nuclear weapons so far.
 
In August 1945, the United States launched two atomic bombs against the entire civil populations of the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was done in spite of the fact that Japan was already militarily defeated. Circumstances are well-documented. There was no military need, and no ethical justification, to use the bombs and instantly kill such a large and defenceless human population.”
 
On the other hand -
 
The country has had great leaders and thinkers like William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, to name a few. Its spiritual resources include extraordinary individuals like Martin Luther King Jr. It is still possible to stop a repeated mistake and reawaken to the practice of respectful cooperation.”
 
Is it the time now to have more respect for life?
 
On page three we have the historical speech on world peace delivered by John F. Kennedy, in 1963, a few months before being mysteriously assassinated.
 
Kennedy’s address contains a positive prophecy which theosophists know sooner or later will be a reality, one way or another: the liberation of the world from the nightmare of nuclear weapons.
 
Other topics in this edition:
 
* A Prayer for Our Planetary Community.
 
* Vasily Rozanov: On the Magic of Human Birth.

* Thoughts Along the Road: Each Winter Prepares a Springtime.

* Self-Control and Contentment - 02 (Concluded): How Far the Sensations, Appetites, Passions and Affections Are in Our Power, by Francis Hutcheson.

* Il’in, the Anticommunist Who Was Saved by Lenin - The Hegelian Thinker is Influential in Russia and Still Little-Known in the West.
 
* TheLos Angeles Times tells the Story of the Unthinkable in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A warning for present generations.
 
With 23 pages, the edition presents the List of New Items in the associated websites.
