Musings on Theosophy

Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there really any justice in the world? The Secret Doctrine has much to say about the law of karma and its twin doctrine, reincarnation, as an explanation to these subjects and many other mysteries of human life. Ceaseless in its operation, the cycles of cause and effect bear alike upon solar systems, planets, nations, families, and individuals. Karma means action, and our minds are the real planes of action. William Q. Judge gives a comprehensive explanation of the three classes of karma and its three fields of operation that leaves no room for coincidence. He points to human beings as responsible coworkers in a living universe.

    Psychic and Noetic Action - 2

    In this episode of Psychic and Noetic Action, Helena Blavatsky moves beyond her critique of the scientific community’s materialistic blind spots to offer a profound exploration of the mind’s true nature. She reveals that the mind is not confined to the brain but operates as a vast network of intelligence relaying information between every organ and cell of the body, a system essential to human existence. Blavatsky redefines the term psychic as it pertains solely to the astral plane, distinguishing its function from higher spiritual realms. With her signature precision, she illuminates how the Higher and Lower Minds process different forms of information, enabling us to discern between impulsive desires and spiritually inspired insights—ultimately guiding us to more informed and intentional choices.

    Psychic and Noetic Action - 1

    In Helena P. Blavatsky’s article on Psychic and Noetic Action - Part I, she distinguishes between motivational inspiration that comes only humans, from the plane of the soul, versus actions that are more simply byproducts of the thrust of our personalities. Though late 1800’s scientists dismissed free will as nonexistent, one by one, their methods of analysis and faulty logic is exposed. With the finite perception of scientists’ overemphasis on gross matter toppled, she broadens the view, to reveal an understanding of our dual nature and how this affects what is in our minds. Coming soon is Part II of this article, delving more deeply into how this dual nature, which is unique to mankind, guides our actions.

  3. The Source of Thought and Wisdom

    The Source of Thought and Wisdom

    The Secret Doctrine’s author and founder of Theosophy, Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, addressed her scientific contemporaries as not brilliant conveyers of newly discovered truths, but as fallible men, whose inquiries into the very subjects of the day they popularized, as being too shallow to accurately inform their public. At the time of her writings in the 1860s, scientific discoveries were propelling the industrial age and Western medicine forward, but in the subtle subjects such as psychology, understanding the precursors to thought entering the human mind and how to discern wisdom from falsehood, the coarseness of their mentalities impeded accuracy. She sites materialism, complete rejection of the soul and our Higher Self and more, as their fateful impediments, yet manages to she brightens the path to informed discernment for her readers.

    Cycles: The Eternity of the Universe

    Cycles take place at all levels; cosmic, planetary, racial, national, etc. H.P Blavatsky said it best, when she described their significance, “The ancients divided time into endless cycles, wheels within wheels, all such periods being of various durations, and each marking the beginning or the end of some event either cosmic, mundane, physical or metaphysical.” Explore your place in the universe, with this episode.

    The Sevenfold Constitution of Man - Part 2

    Part 2 of the Sevenfold Constitution of Man, delves further into our complex human nature. With Manas and Buddhi clarified, the difference between knowledge and wisdom becomes apparent, as does its source. Understanding the physical brain’s limited role can open insights of our existence that lies far beyond tangible substance. Once the source of our impulses is understood, it becomes easier to align our actions so our human experience becomes one of greater depth and satisfaction, and if we choose, a force for good in the trajectory of mankind.

    The Sevenfold Constitution Of Man -Part 1

    Though we commonly perceive ourselves as having a body, mind and spirit, we’re rarely offered an explanation of the latter two or the subdivisions of them, which actually represent seven aspects of ourselves. Here in our third episode of the Musings on Theosophy podcast, we come to have an intimate understanding of each of these levels of existence and how they work in tandem to support the whole being. Just as the human body has infinitesimal systems that work simultaneously with each other, whether we are aware of them or not, the more subtle parts of the human being have equal complexity and brilliance. The continuing existence of aspects of ourselves after the body is shed, clarifies misconceptions commonly held, broadening our understanding of the journey of the human race.
