What is Theosophy?

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Beschreibung

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), née Hahn Von Rottenstern, often known as Madame Blavatsky, was a Russian mystic and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She gained an international following as the primary founder of Theosophy as a belief system.Blavatsky was a controversial figure during her lifetime, championed by supporters as an enlightened sage and derided as a charlatan by critics. Her Theosophical doctrines influenced the spread of Hindu and Buddhist ideas in the West as well as the development of Western esoteric currents like Ariosophy, Anthroposophy, and the New Age Movement.She wrote fundamental essays, including Isis Unveiled, The Secret Doctrine, The Key to Theosophy and The Voice of the Silence.The Blavatsky’s article What is Theosophy?, which we propose to our readers today, was published in October 1879 in The Theosophist.According to lexicographers, the term theosophia is composed of two Greek words—theos, “god”, and sophos, “wise”. So far, correct. But the explanations that follow are far from giving a clear idea of Theosophy. Webster defines it most originally as “a supposed intercourse with God and superior spirits, and consequent attainment of superhuman knowledge, by physical processes, as by the theurgic operations of some ancient Platonists, or by the chemical processes of the German fire-philosophers”.

Intimidation - Using Fear or...

Cito Harder

Intimidation is a powerful tool used to control, manipulate, or influence others through fear, coercion, or the threat of consequences. It is a fundamental aspect of power dynamics in human interactions, appearing in personal relationships, workplaces, politics, and even entire societies. While often associated with overt threats and aggressive behavior, intimidation can also be subtle, manifesting through psychological pressure, social exclusion, or implied consequences rather than direct violence. Regardless of its form, intimidation serves as a means of asserting dominance and shaping the behavior of individuals or groups.
Throughout history, intimidation has played a crucial role in maintaining authority and enforcing societal norms. Rulers, military leaders, and institutions have long relied on fear to deter opposition and ensure obedience. From ancient empires using public punishments to instill fear in the masses to modern governments leveraging surveillance and propaganda, intimidation remains a key strategy for those in power. However, it is not limited to large-scale societal control—intimidation also operates at the personal level, where individuals use fear to manipulate or silence others in personal, professional, and social settings.
The effectiveness of intimidation lies in its ability to exploit human psychology. Fear is a primal emotion, hardwired into the brain as a survival mechanism. When people perceive a threat—whether physical, emotional, or social—they often become more compliant, seeking to avoid harm or conflict. This reaction can be seen in various contexts, such as an employee hesitating to speak out against an abusive manager, a student fearing retaliation from a school bully, or a population complying with oppressive laws due to the threat of punishment.

66 Days to Change Your Life - 12...

Dan Desmarques

The main idea for the production of this book came after I realized how the beliefs of others were constantly causing me to lose money and delay my life in achieving my goals, even causing me to fail in businesses I had just started. 
Realizing this was extremely frustrating, but also difficult to control for a variety of reasons, including the fact that we cannot always identify who these people are, and even if we do, we may not be able to remove them from our lives. 
The only way to solve this problem effectively is to create a system that can rearrange the various patterns of our existence at once by focusing on only one area, preferably of a material nature, as is the case with money. 
The content presented here is based on the premise that if our thoughts interfere with our destiny, then the thoughts of others, operating by default, can have a greater influence on that destiny. 
Have you ever noticed how happy some people are when you fail, as if they expected it, or how sympathetic some people seem when you are poor?  
They are the same ones who resent your happiness and abundance when you become successful later in life, and then claim the most absurd things to prove that you are unworthy of what you are getting, while finding excuses to remove themselves from your reality. 
This social paradigm is so obvious that there had to be another one that contradicted this common behavior. I found it and later decided to create a system to help me apply it.  
After seeing immediate results manifest in my own life, even as I was writing this book - due to the fact that I was reading the exercises in my mind while preparing the content - I concluded that the application of this system would be very useful for my readers.
