Theos-Talk Archives (December 2008 Message tt00161)

Hi Gineata,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Theosophy, which, if you have found 
it in this cycle, is probably something you have experienced before, 
perhaps under another name. Central to the philosophy of Theosophy 
are the principles of karma and reincarnation, which, basically 
indicate that we are responsible for our actions, and we live many 
lives upon the earth, as do all other life forms. If you are drawn to 
the study, it will definitely be rewarding to you. Try to keep an 
open mind, and remember, we are only human. We all try to practice 
humility, obedience, compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love, 
but it is an uphill battle. A worthwhile one, however. Many students 
have tales such as yours to tell of their introduction to the study 
of occultism. We are approaching the gates to the inner mystery of 
life, and the invitation to enter can take many strange and wonderful 
forms

All the best,
Adelasie
