...is all about: essential knowledge for anyone who seeks to expand their receivership capabilities. If I thought that reading Fulcanelli or Blavatsky or some physics book would give any of you the tools you need right here and now, I would say so. But it is clear to me, at this point that...

Sounds like HPB wasn't really bringing home the esoteric bacon.

Yeah. Been there, done that. If Arpaxad wishes to participate in the foci of this forum, he is welcome to do so, but continuing to attempt to "teach" a line that the owners of the forum do not find useful, will not endorse, nor waste time refuting, will result in a posting ban.

Pretty much. An additional factor in my general distaste for all of it is a thorough study of the Middle Platonists, running into NeoPlatonism and how those people formulated their ideas and passed them on to become the foundational nonsense for so-called "western occultism". It was a big...

The above claims by Blavatsky are part of the problem. It's like "I've got a secret, nah nah nah naaaaaaaaah..." and it's all about POWER - the dreaded OCCULT power.

...frequency fences related to various electronic systems on the planet such as microwave towers, HAARP, etc. So it could be that. But Blavatsky's description of "a steamy moral fog, composed of the undispersed exhalations of human vice and passion. This fog penetrates the sensitive to the...

Well, let's don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. When dealing with the problem of this particular individual, arpaxad's advice is not too far off. Drinking a glass of saltwater upon arising is also useful, plus using salt in the environment as I've mentioned a number of times. A drop...

{{Sigh}} After 25 years of studying all the available esoteric material that I could get my hands on, if I had thought that Blavatsky had some decent clues and that her work pointed in a useful direction, I would never have engaged in years of channeling experimentation in order to go...

I've read Blavatsky and a lot of spinoff literature. It's really not worth the time and trouble. Based on your attachment to it, maybe this is the :wrongbar:

I'm not terribly interested in rehabilitating Blavatsky since she was caught out in definite fraud a time or two.

Or maybe there was no ability or intent to discriminate?

...or crystallizes in a deformed manner. Best to read Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous" and Mouravieff's "Gnosis" trilogy for hints about this topic. Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Cayce also had some interesting contributions, but I would tend to ignore Blavatsky and most other Theosophists.

The Rosicrucian and Blavatsky stuff isn't worth pursuing. I have an excellent scholarly history of astrology and I included much of it in "Comets and the Horns of Moses".

...were excluded from awareness, that means that for most of the so-called occultists/esotericists who formulated those ideas - mainly Madame Blavatsky - the very idea of densities vs planes was not taken into account. Plus, when you study the matter deeply, you find that there were deliberate...

...know, for the sake of all the Theosophists around the world, what was the source of the information in the book "Isis Unveiled" by Helena Blavatsky? A: Orions STS and STO. 6th Density. Q: (L) So, her information was from both sides? And it is up to the reader to figure out which is which...

...is a load of hooey - are associated with 3D. That's why Cayce said "A dead Presbyterian is just that: a dead Presbyterian." What Helena Blavatsky did to esoteric understanding was, basically, to make up a load of nonsense that made her and others feel good but had nothing to do with any...

...You will need to understand a history and engagement in practices of esotericism thoroughly: To put to rest any illusions about Helena Blavatsky, you will need to read: If you can find them in a library, try reading the many volumes of the Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical...

Jay Weidner - Plagiarist I have posted a response to Jay Weidner on amazon: I say "enough" of this silliness. The man is clearly delusional. His main beef seems to be that I dared to comment on the Hendaye chapter of "The Mystery of the Cathedrals" and he thinks he owns that chapter and is...

Gurdjieff and the question of the soul. Started poking around and found this "defense of Islam" Methinks the guy protests too much:

Haven't read the book yet. I read an article by the author in this month's Fortean Times which I really enjoyed and went looking for more details. Since my own introduction to the "paranormal" was by reading the proceedings of the SPR back when I was about 13, I knew that the field had really...
