Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00621)

Daniel,

Thanks again. 

This detailing of the sources does not need to prevent us from thinking on
the content of the quotation. 

In our study, there must be a balance between the part and the whole, between the detail and global vision, between the tree and the forest. 

But a THIRD element may be equally important in our studies: inner silence, inner peace, pure contemplation. 


Best regards,  Carlos.

Assunto:Theos-World Carlos Quotes HPB on Socrates: Part 1

> Below is the HPB quote on Socrates that Carlos originally gave:
> 
> =============================================================
> Julian died for the same crime as Socrates. Both divulged
> a portion of the solar mystery, the heliocentric system being only
> a part of what was given during Initiation – one consciously (1) ,
> the other unconsciously, the Greek Sage never having been
> initiated. It was not the real solar system that was preserved in
> such secrecy, but the mysteries connected with the Sun's
> constitution. Socrates was sentenced to death by earthly and
> worldly judges; Julian died a violent death because the hitherto
> protecting hand was withdrawn from him, and, no longer shielded by
> it, he was simply left to his destiny or Karma. For the student of
> Occultism there is a suggestive difference between the two kinds of
> death. (2)
