Theos-Talk Archives (August 2005 Message tt00212)

Hallo all,

Perhaps the following exchange and thread could be helpful to
enhance this view which Caldwell seems so eager to promote.

Part 1: Morten on Views that are "limited", "frozen", "miserable", "old"
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/15407
Almost a Part 2
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/15524

There are some broken links in the two messages in the above.
If anyone is in need I can quite possibly provide the texts.

Characteristics of Theosophical Litterature



Here are a few characteristics of Theosophical litterature:

1. Some books, some passages, are intended to be read in a certain order.

2. Some books and passages have to be read under specific environmental 
conditions.

3. Some have to be read aloud, some silently, some alone, some in company.

4. Some are only vehicles for illustrations or other content generally 
regarded as extraneous or secondary to the text.

5. Some are of limited use or ephemeral function, being addressed to 
communities in certain places, at certain stages of development, or for a 
limited time.

6. Some forms have concealed meanings which yield coherent but misleading 
meanings, safety-devices to ward of tamperers.

7. Some are interlarded with material deliberately designed to confuse or 
sidetrack those who are not properly instructed, for their own protection.

8. Some books contain a completely different potential, and they are 
communicators through another means than the writing contained in them. They 
are not designed primarily to be read at all.

9. Theosophical litterature is a part of carefully worked out plan. Its 
abuse lead to nothing of permanent value.

Theosophical teachings, and sometimes keys to it, are sometimes embedded in 
quite other material, not recognisable as theosophical at all to the 
uninitiated. Many of these teachings are really meditation-themes. They have 
deep function almost unknown to the pedestrian conventionalists, 
enthusiasts, imitators or occultist." ...

And the text continues on. - It is especially the last four sentences, which 
we aught to familiarze ourselves with. And anyways - all of the text seem to 
work wonders in my mind. For instance is it so, that Blavatskys talks about 
that allegories, dead-letter reading and the Seven Keys exists. These has to 
do with the above text on Theosophical litterature. This is my knowledge. 
There are also non-physical libraries.

I have hopefully done my best to make
Mr. Caldwell aware of some of the limitations
his link in the below has.



sincerely
M. Sufilight with peace and love...
