Theosophists hold some strange notions regarding our genisis in Atlantas, Lumeria and other places......root races. Their Heaven, Devachan, is said to offer souls a review of past life and some opportunity to have input relevant to the next.................  |
Have you heard what Krishnamurti said on the day he was supposed to take the reigns of a new Theosophical Society branch?
He told the story of a man walking along with the devil. They come across another man crying as he was bending down to pick something up. The man walking with the devil asked; What is that guy doing? The devil answered he found a piece of truth! Following this, man enquired of the devil, so why is he crying? The Devil answered; I am putting him in charge of organizing it!
I think this speaks quite clearly with regards to Krishnamurtis objections to become tied down to a particular group's beliefs!
