Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl00336)

Jerry,

I wasn't really making a point, just throwing some stabilizing ingredients
into the boiling pot as it brews.  Every once in a while as we are
discussing topics ranging from morality, to being unhappy that our leaders
don't live up to the images we have formed, I feel it is important to
reflect on some of the basic comments that HPB provided us.  For me its one
way to re-center.

Shanti,
Nick.

Nick quoting HPB:
>"Occultism in not magic, though magic is one of its tools.
>
>Occultism is not the acquirement of powers, whether psychic or
intellectual,
>though both are its servants.  Neither is occultism the pursuit of
>happiness, as men understand the word: for the first step is sacrifice, the

>second, renunciation.
>
>Occultism is the science of life, the art of living.
