Adyar's "Irrelevancy" & Our Planet

Mar 16, 2006 11:54 AM

Krsanna,

There is no possibility that the planet will die.

This is out of the question.

Long, long before the planet stopping being necessary for our evolution,
everyone will be Adept, and I mustll tell you: I haven't attained
adepthood yet.

I am ashamed to say so, but I am still a mere aspirant to to lay discipleship!

So, WAIT !!! I need this soil here!

The only thing that is at stake is, perhaps, a sub-race crisis. I don't think it is a race crisis.

The crisis of a sub-race (fifth subrace in the fifth race) may be an ugliy thing to live, but has NOTHING to do with the death of a planet, if we read anything about Theosophy.

And perhaps it is sub a crisis of a sub-subrace, or " family" crisis, or civilization crisis.

Now, within this civilization of ours, you know that every generation has the humble habit to describe itself as "perhaps the last one", as the generation which will "make or break". Holy Modesty! And this has been going on for thousands of years.


Now,what about the practical use of understanding the history of the theosophical movement?

Well, in order to face our planetary crisis, it is useful to understand the movement, since it is an instrument ( I said 'a', not 'the' instrument ) created to help prepare next civilizations at a subtle level.

Thus the relevancy of Narada TS' own history and tradition, for instance.

Only by understanding what is true and false in the history of the movement we will be able to rescue the movement as a better intrument to serve human progress in the future.


Best regards and long life to the planet! Carlos.

Electricity and magnetism are the twins of physicality.
Instantaneous electronic and computer capabilities changed the way
the world thinks.  Individuals who grew up playing computers games,
now in their 30's, perceive the world in different terms than, for
instance, my father's generation.  My father was born in a sod hut
in 1918, and the realities of the electronic world were largely
outside his purview of the world.

The problems these kids must deal with are beyond anything
Theosophists who set the pace for this century – Olcott, Besant, and
Leadbeater – ever imagined.  Take a look at the article below on
irreversible climate changes associated with the failure of Arctic
ice to re-form.

The absurdity of Besant's "Coming" is a frivolous, if not obscene,
concern in view of the exigencies of keeping the planet alive,
largely as a result of arrogant misuse and abuse of the environment
at the hands of the "old" guys.  I am ashamed of the mess my
generation (Baby Boomer) is turning over to the Digital generation.

In this environment, the National Director of Education at TSA
questioned, "Should Christmas be saved?" in the National Lodge's
first issue of their first elist.  The culture is outgrowing
Christmas.  (It's about time!!!)  ONE TSA MEMBER SUGGESTED CHRISTMAS
SHOULD BE SAVED FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO STILL NEED IT.  As the society
begins to reject Christianized dogma, and TSA members have stepped
forward to save it for those who still need it.

I believe HPB's cyclic model will be useful in "life and death"
environmental issues.   That's why I keep talking about cycles and
timewaves.  I backed into Theosophy looking for anything available
on cycles after I had worked with the Mayan calendar more than a
decade.

Best regards,
Krsanna

CLIMATE CHANGE `IRREVERSIBLE' AS ARCTIC SEA ICE FAILS TO RE-FORM
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
Published: 14 March 2006
Sea ice in the Arctic has failed to re-form for the second
consecutive winter, raising fears that global warming may have
tipped the polar regions in to irreversible climate change far
sooner than predicted.

Satellite measurements of the area of the Arctic covered by sea ice
show that for every month this winter, the ice failed to return even
to its long-term average rate of decline. It is the second
consecutive winter that the sea ice has not managed to re-form
enough to compensate for the unprecedented melting seen during the
past few summers.

Scientists are now convinced that Arctic sea ice is showing signs of
both a winter and a summer decline that could indicate a major
acceleration in its long-term rate of disappearance. The greatest
fear is that an environmental "positive feedback" has kicked in,
where global warming melts ice which in itself causes the seas to
warm still further as more sunlight is absorbed by a dark ocean
rather than being reflected by white ice…

Dr Serreze said that some parts of the northern hemisphere
experienced very low temperatures this winter, but the Arctic was
much warmer than normal. "Even in January, when there were actually
record low temperatures in Alaska and parts of Russia, it was still
very warm over the Arctic Ocean," he said.
