Helena P. Blavatsky was a spiritual adept who appeared on the world
scene during the second half of the 19th Century when intellectual,
scientific and religious thinking had already crystallized into
their separate camps. Her life, devoted to showing that all thought
came from the same source and that science and religion were really
one, drew violent resistance. She is credited with bringing
together eastern and western esoteric teachings in the form of
Theosophy in order to prepare the world for a New Age which is at
mankind's threshold today. The fact that we speak so freely of such
things as yoga and meditation today can be credited to her legacy
which is largely forgotten. As with other spiritual adepts, her
journey was fraught with personal struggles and attempts to slander
her. Yet her monumental works, The Secret Doctrine and Isis
Unveiled, live on to shape peoples' thinking in preparation for the
New Age. This screenplay is an attempt to reinstate her as the
Mother of the New Age.
Con las predicciones del Volumen 1 de Las Profecias de Sanctus
Germanus ocurriendo, el Volumen 2 se concentra en el papel del
portador de luz durante los cambios de la Tierra y el esfuerzo de
reconstruccion posteriores al 2012. Los portadores de luz son los
Bodhisattvas de hoy en dia, miles de iniciados avanzados y
luminarias pasadas de la tierra, quienes han reencarnado para
ayudar a la humanidad a traves de este periodo de gran cambio y
agitacion. Las Profecias de Sanctus Germanus, Volumen 2 es una guia
practica para que el portador de luz se situe en su lugar dentro
del gran esquema de cosas y se prepare para los retos venideros.

In 1882, at the age of 21, Rudolf Steiner's life was changed
forever by a seemingly chance meeting on a train. Traveling between
Vienna and his home town of Pottschach, Steiner fell into
conversation with Felix Koguzki, a lowly herb-gatherer who claimed
to have personal and direct knowledge of higher worlds of spiritual
attainment. Koguzki arranged for the young man to meet a mysterious
individual, someone Steiner refers to only as a 'Master', who seems
to have guided him successfully towards spiritual enlightenment.
Steiner's book 'Theosophy' was published 28 years later, in 1910,
and is a detailed account of this 'spiritual science', a method of
attaining to the higher worlds that is replete with descriptions of
esoteric realities, and what one may expect at the various
milestones of human development. This is a book that will repay a
slow and careful study, a treatise on the higher worlds that the
reader can, with profit, return to again and again.

2010 Reprint of 1918 Edition. This book was intended as an aid to
students in their study of the growth and development of
consciousness, offering hints and suggestions which might prove
useful to them. It is a contribution to the science of psychology.
She writes that the seed of consciousness is the Atma-Buddhi-Manas,
the Jivatma. The Super-consciousness includes the whole of the
consciousness above the waking-consciousness, like dreams, visions,
inspirations, etc. To bring the super-consciousness into
manifestation on the physical plane, Besant proposes (in the early
stages) to render the brain and sense-organs unresponsive to
physical impacts and to induce Trance. This can be done by using
the methods of Yogis. But she also says that there is a difference
between the super-physical conditions of consciousness in the
hypnotised subject and in the Yogi.

In the timeless time of eternity, does God have a pre-history? What
was God "before" (so to speak) God became GOD? Was there some
terrible mistake involving culpability? If so, how did this God of
pre-history handle His mistake? Availing himself of certain
currents found in Scripture and in classical Rabbinic sources, the
author makes the case that God is a being with moral fault. The
author argues that how God handled His mistake was the process
which allowed God to become the celebrated: THE GREAT THE MIGHTY
THE TERRIBLE GOD "who remains steadfast to his covenant and loving
bond," [Nehemiah 9: 32] And it all started with Noah: " But Noah
found grace/favor in the eyes of Hashem." [Genesis 6: 8]

Anthroposophy has manifold roots in natural science. Rudolf Steiner
never tired of saying that the development of scientific awareness
had given people the possibility of freedom, that the way to
cognizing the spiritual world is based on the natural scientific
attitude, and that certainty of such knowledge is comparable to the
certainty found in mathematics and natural science. Especially
noteworthy is Steiner's comments on the importance of how
experiments should be done-first, that scientists should adopt the
attitude that their workbench is an altar, and second, that
scientists should seek the cooperation of elemental beings. Steiner
was concerned that people do new experiments because of the many
new views and educational possibilities that can arise.
Consequently, in 1920, a special institute was established with
departments for physics and biology in Stuttgart, financed by the
scanty means of the joint-stock company, Der kommende Tag
(literally, "the coming day"). The purpose of the institute were
described by Steiner: "What we lack is not the empirical material,
but the gathering of possibilities, which are also possibilities of
explaining one phenomenon through another phenomenon. Therefore, in
our research institute, we will no longer do experiments using the
old methods, for there really is an excess of empirical material
available." Though the institute eventually closed, owing to
financial difficulties, in 1926 on the initiative of Guenther
Wachsmuth, Paul Eugen Schiller took most of the materials to
Dornach. There, he set up a simple physics laboratory where he
worked for several years, working mainly on Steiner's indications
about the "sensitive flame." Drawn from Schiller's notebooks, this
important volume describes natural scientific research by
scientists working at the Goetheanum and following suggestions from
Rudolf Steiner, leading, for example, to research on gases at low
temperatures and high vacuum. Steiner told them, "You will tend to
produce conditions at the Sun's center, where matter is annihilated
and exists in a negative state; similarly with space. Spectrum
analysis was used in these experiments, but for 'true' results, the
spectroscope would need to be modified." On electricity, Steiner
told them," We do not know electricity, except by its effects....
In origin, it is an astral force." The Schiller File is an
important resource for those who wish to better understand how to
approach and practice natural science from the perspective of
spiritual science. Includes an extensive index. The Schiller File
is a translation of Beitrage zur Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe
Veroffentlichungen aus dem Archiv der Rudolf
Steiner-Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland.
Metaphysics deals with the energies that underlie and drive the
world that we live in, and how these energies respond to what we
think, say, and do, which helps to create the circumstances of our
lives. There is no thought, word, or deed that the Universe does
not respond to and so it behooves us to learn more about these
energies and learn to use them consciously. In addition to
explaining the principles of Metaphysics, this book is also a "How
To" book. It suggests simple instructions and techniques that will
help you to use these underlying energies in your own life in a
very positive and uplifting way.
