Theosophy was founded by Helene Patrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott. Theosophy and Freemasonry are one and the same thing. It's the universalist perennial philosophy. The most important symbol of both is the "blazing star", in freemasonry the blazing star always sits high above the middle of the three pillars. It's the exact same thing as Malkuth on the Kabbalistic tree of life. Malkuth is the 10th sephira at the very bottom when viewing the tree of life, if you flip the tree of life upside down (as above so below) Malkuth would be in the same place as the blazing star as both systems have three pillars or paths. Malkuth is Isis, and Sirius the Dog Star is also Isis; it's called the star of Isis.
Freemasonry is based off the Kabbalah, and Malkuth represents the Shekinah force. Shekinah is the force that emenates down from Sirius and gives the initiate "illumination". Theosophy always eludes to a connection between Sirius and Lucifer. In actuality Sirius represents lucifer, and Lucifer is the "light bearer" and "initiate of man". This is one of the biggest secrets of freemasonry. While reading some Kabbalistic literature yesterday a light went off in my head. As I've said before, the SOS murders also had an occult angle that involved the Dog Star.

by Gerald Massey (1828-1907)
(Written for Lucifer)
[Page 81]
STAR of the Day and the Night ! Star of the Dark that is dying; Star of the Dawn that is nighing, Lucifer, Lady of Light !
Still with the purest in white, Still art thou Queen of the Seven; Thou hast not fallen from Heaven Lucifer, Lady of Light !
How large in thy lustre, how bright The beauty of promise thou wearest ! The message of Morning thou bearest, Lucifer, Lady of Light !
Aid us in putting to flight. The Shadows that darken about us, Illumine within, as without, us, Lucifer, Lady of Light ! [Page 82]
Shine through the thick of our fight; Open the eyes of the sleeping; Dry up the tears of the weeping, Lucifer, Lady of Light!
Purge with thy pureness our sight, Thou light of the lost ones who love us, Thou lamp of the Leader above us, Lucifer, Lady of Light!
Shine with transfiguring might, Till earth shall reflect back as human Thy Likeness, Celestial Woman, Lucifer, Lady of Light!
With the flame of thy radiance smite The clouds that are veiling the vision Of Woman’s millennial mission, Lucifer, Lady of Light!
Shine in the Depth and the Height, And show us the treasuries olden Of wisdom, the hidden, the golden, Lucifer, Lady of Light!

In Kabbalah Malkuth is called the black queen amongst other names like "virgin", "queen of heaven" and so forth. Knowing what I know now I wonder if there's an occult connection to the black virgin "Mary" statues in Europe. I've always wondered what the deal was, and didn't buy the excuse that a "fire" cause the statue to turn black. That may explain that one statue, but what about the many others? Did they also turn black from a fire? I kinda doubt it lol

Professor. I forgot to add that the quartered circle (crosshair symbol. Zodiac symbol) is a symbol that represents Malkuth. Just google quartered circle Malkuth, or Malkuth symbol

Uh, you know you can edit your posts, right? Yes, it's pretty likely that the "black virgin" Mary's are probably "Queen of the Night," etc. "Holy blood, Holy Grail" gets a lot of the religious history of Western Christendom right. The circled crosshair, like the swastika, is also used to represent the "black sun," a potent creative force. It's also a hundred (or a thousand) other things. If the gobbledegook about the Moro/Tad-Tad death cult in the 408 is the least bit significant (and I think it's VERY significant in the Death Angels/Zebra Murders case) then it was prrrrrobably the "black sun." The Moros, like the Thuggees, were essentially gnosticism masquerading as "Tibetan Buddhism" masquerading as Islam, the way Christian Science Mormonism, etc masquerade as Christianity. And they worshipped the power of the Black Sun.
FWIW, we got a good look at the 2017 total eclipse here. No photograph or movie effect could come within a thousand lightyears (get it?) of doing it justice. I've seen a lot of awesome things. But I've never seen ANYTHING like that eclipse. I've "seen" partial eclipses. They're nothing. You can only "see" one through special protective lenses. You can only safely look at an annular eclipse the same way. But that Black Sun is a complete and total mind-blower.

The generative "force" is the same thing as what I mentioned. When paired with Hesod it becomes "the union of opposites", basically sex worship as sex is the means of harnessing this generative illuminating "force". It's also known as desire or the libido that Kurt Cobain famously sang about.
Annie Besant took over the Theosopical society after Blavatsky died. She was a member of the Fabien socialist society in Britain. There were many famous members including H. G. Wells. Wells was taught by "Darwins bulldog" T.H. Huxley. H. G. Wells taught Huxley's grandchildren Aldous and Julien. Theosophy and Wells wrote extensively about "the world brain", basically a world encyclopedia of information that all nations could agree on. Theosophy took it a step further and imagined a literal world brain where everyone in society has the same outline of history, thought the same, and had societies interests at heart instead of individuality. It's the perfect description of the Internet.
The two founders of Eselan claimed to have known Aldous Huxley having first met him in January 1962, and claimed he was the inspiration for Eselan.
I really don't look at occultism as "gobbledegook". There's reasons for its existence. I believe the main reason is it's the religion of the wealthy and elite, and second it's used as a way of conditioning (brain wash) society to instill a double minded way of thinking. Most occultists empathize opposites. It's basically what George Orwell termed in his book 1984 as "double think". Someone can hold to opposed ideas at the same time and think both are true. Freedom is slavery, darkness is light, right is wrong etc. what's also interesting is the bible talks about the same thing. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil", "if the light in ye be darkness, how great is that darkness", and "the double minded man is unstable in all his ways".

I call it gobbledegook because it's completely worthless as information, or wisdom, or anything else. Let alone "magick power." 99 percent of it isn't even "traditional" material. It's all been fabricated in the last 150 years. Hawthorne took the actual book "The Chemical Marriage of Christian Rosycross" and turned it into a novel. An excellent novel, even if you don't know anything about alchemy and other related hermetic texts from history. Freemasonry is at least built on actual ancient "secret teachings." But "Theosophy" and Crowley's gobbledegook is just made up bullshit. So is Gardner's "Wicca." They claim ancient sources, but they basically just made it up.

It's quite a bit older than 150 years even for Crowleys material. In Kabbalistic Judaism, which Crowley called "the holy Kabbalah" can be traced back to at least the 1300s if not earlier. The Egyptian branch he used can be traced back to the NeoGnostics of the Origen branch. then there's the Hinduism/Buddhism of theosophy and the OTO that can be traced back at least 1500 years. It was Arthur Schopenhauer who helped introduce Buddhism to Europe, he's the one who famously took Buddhist doctrine and made a European philosophy out of it. I certainly don't believe in it, but these are religions of the upper class of European and American society. It goes without saying then that these ideas are being used, you see it in the perennial philosophy of the United Nations. It's very important when it affects all of us. The new American thought and Christianity has turned into an amalgamation of Gnosticism and ecumenism.

Yeah. I know that's what they CLAIMED. But little to none of that really shows up in their "work." As opposed to say, The Scarlet Letter, which at least is based on the actual text of "The Chemical Marriage of Christian Rosycross." That was my point.
And even "authentic traditional Kabbalah blah blah blah" is just gobbledegook. Am I overgeneralizing, as I often do? Yeah. Do I care? Nah. Is it important? Nah.
Now, you're right--a shocking number of people have and do buy into the gobbledegook. And that is apparently dangerous. But it's just gobbledegook.

All the Kabbalah is is an interpretation of the Babylonian Talmud. It's claimed by people who believe in it to be dated to the 3rd century, which is obviously false. The farthest it can be traced back is to the 13th century "rabbi" named Moses De Leon. There's no difference in its teachings than any other occult philosophy, just the verbiage is changed around. I agree it's all garbage, but it shouldn't be underestimated, too many prominent people believe it's. That's my only point in even commenting about it.

I would say it's a neo-Gnostic (that is, Templar/Masonic) movement in Talmudic (in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco) Judaism. In THAT sense, you might say it predates the 3rd Century AD. Remember, Moses DeLeon was contemporary with Roger Bacon, Ramon Llull, and Albertus Magnus. And yes, tragically, a lot of people believe in this gobbledegook. Tragic, because it's all gobbledegook. It isn't science, and it isn't religion. And it rears its ugly head over and over.

Yep. It's Neo Gnosticism of the Alexandrian school, I mentioned Origen as an important figure, in fact Blavatsky herself claimed theosophy had its origins there. She quotes Origenand Saccas, whom she said was the first theosophist. She didn't mean it in a literal sense, but in a philosophical sense. My take on Alfred Howells book in another thread teaches the exact same thing. It's basically Gnosticism, Platonism (they call Hellenism), and Hermesticism. All these ideas are very similar already, it's very easy to amalgamate the three together into one doctrine. It's Freemasonry.

Funny you should mention the "lost" works of Philo of Alexandria...

i haven't read much of Philo, but I do know he was supposedly the first Jew to allegorise the OT, and mix it with what I stated above. I'm more familiar with Origen and Clement of Alexandria, who were both Gnostics no matter what the Roman church claims. It's interesting that while Blavatsky was alive she called for a new bible that was more friendly to the perennial philosophy, then two occultists who shared in her philosophical views produced one using the same Alexandrian school she held dear. The Greek writings that later became the Septuagint also came from this exact school, and from the same people I noted above. We know the Septuagint is a fraud, because the letter of Aristeas is a known fraud. The letter was used to prop up the validity of the Septuagint.

The earliest known Gnostics in Greece are, of course, the Pythagoreans. Pythagoras had supposedly traveled at least as far east as Babylon. Funny, the way you have Pythagoras, Buddha, and Zoroaster all more or less in the same generation. (There is ONE ancient text which suggests "Buddha" and "Zoroaster" were the same person.)
The Septuagint is not exactly a fraud; the story about the 70 translators is a fraud. The Septuagint is, of course, a "Platonist," Hellenized "translation" of the "Old Testament" intended to--brace yourselves--syncretize Judaism with Platonism in order to make the Persian--sorry, "Greek"--empire easier to rule. Did they invent this? Nope. The Persians themselves invented it. The Greeks simply carried on with it. The Greeks didn't even invent Pythagoreanism OR Platonism. They learned these from the East, by way of the Persian Empire. Etc.
So, what does aaaaalllll that have to do with the price of Serial Killer Rice Krispies? Merely to show that Gnosticism PREDATES, and in many ways, influences, the evolution of Christianity. Not the other way around. And it keeps rearing its ugly head century after century.
"Judaism" itself is a syncretization of Egyptian Akhenaten ("Moses") and Hittite religions plus Babylonian Marduk, becoming basically the "Pharisees;" the Pharisees as re-educated (think, Daniel) by the Zoroastrian Persians, becoming the "Essenes," and the "Pharisees" as re-educated by the Platonist Greeks becoming the "Sadduccees." Toss in this new-fangled Osiris cult from New Kingdom Egypt, sprinkle on a healthy dose of Heracles, Mithras, and ChrEstianity, and you've got yourself some Christianity.
Do we see this in the texts of the Bible? Yup. Plus, those darned Gnostics snuck in a few "secret" texts of their own...
