Dear friends of Theosophy,
I have already mentioned it once or twice, the first quarter of the year is usually the quietest in terms of Theosophy, while the last is usually the busiest.
So it is even more worthwhile to browse the blogs and many current magazines of the movement and also the news published outside the movement on the subject of Theosophy. Of particular note here is a series of articles by Shawn F. Higgins on Patheos.com, but there were also mentions of Theosophy f.e. at bbc.com (Five ways to be calm), hollywoodReporter.com (first biopic of the painter Hilma af Klint), LAtimes.com (art exhibition "The Transcendental Painting Group” recently opened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
I use the time also to give in the topic of the quarter a review of the topics of the last 10 years, which are mostly characterized by the escapades (if not scandals) of TS Adyar. There were not many participants in the survey from the last issue topic of the quarter, but 60% consider the ecological pronouncements of TS Adyar regarding Damodar Garden Leasing with the Shiv Nadar Trust to be just marketing, none of which will ultimately come true, according to their view.
If you don't already receive this great time saver by email, check in now free of charge. And now I wish you an informative read and a peaceful spring (or autumn, as the case may be).
With kind regards from Germany

This first object means philanthropy. Each Theosophist should therefore not only continue his private or public acts of charity but also strive to so understand Theosophical philosophy as to be able to expound it in a practical and easily understood manner

In the 19th century, a rumor circulated in the scientific world that a "lost continent" was laying undiscovered at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. They named it Lemuria as their misguided efforts were driven by some very confusing lemurs.

If the ʺspirit,ʺ or the divine portion of the soul, is preëxistent as a distinct being from all eternity, as Origen, Synesius and other Christian fathers and philosophers taught, and if it is the same, and nothing more than the metaphysically‐objective soul, how can it be otherwise than eternal? And what matters it in such a case, whether man leads an animal or a pure life, if, do what he may, he can never lose his individuality? This doctrine is as pernicious in its consequences as that of vicarious atonement. Had the latter dogma, in company with the false idea that we are all immortal, been demonstrated to the world in its true light, humanity would have been bettered by its propagation.

Devachan is the idealized continuation of the terrestrial life just left behind, a period of retributive adjustment, and a reward for unmerited wrongs and sufferings undergone in that special life.

The function of Theosophists is to open men's hearts and understandings to charity, justice, and generosity, attributes which belong specifically to the human kingdom and are natural to man when he has developed the qualities of a human being. Theosophy teaches the animal-man to be a human-man; and when people have learnt to think and feel as truly human beings should feel and think, they will act humanely, and works of charity, justice, and generosity will be done spontaneously by all.
