Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels About Occultism
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels on Spiritualism and theosophy (Blavatsky and Besant).
http://www.stelling.nl/simpos/marxthh.htm

Extractions: There are several ways to look at relationships (friendly or unfriendly relationships) between occultism and political tendencies, such as Marxism. In this regard, Bruce Campbell has observed that "Esoteric and mystical sources have been identified as part of the intellectual background for Hegelian and Marxist thought." He did not elaborate on this observation, however, and neither will we. The statement must relate to indirect influence of pre-1800 ideas via Hegel. This concerns, however, an earlier age than the subject of this article. Nor does this article consider subjects later in history, like reciprocal opinions of twentieth century communists and theosophists in such countries as India and Sri Lanka; though that is part of wider research in which I am now involved. This article is specifically about Karl Marx' (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels' (1820-1895) views on spiritualism and theosophy. They both embarked on their political careers in the 1840's, in the Communist League, an international organization, in which migrant German workers in England were heavily represented. Nineteenth century spiritualism was a widespread, but not well organized movement. As is well-known, it began with the

Extractions: IN RUSSIA I. The trend of this type, which I should want to characterise, only conditionally can be called religious thought. It does not have any separate outstanding representatives in Russian literature and it is impossible to define it regarding any particular one thinker. II. And in the beloved popular theosophic book it is possible to discern elements of the vulgar naturalistic monism. In this also theosophy seeks a centre external to man and his depths, it objectifies and materialises everything. The human spirit is posited in a servile dependency upon a cosmic evolution of quite thousands of years, upon tremendous intervals of time. Theosophic-naturalistic evolutionism leads to a denial of the non-mediated connection of the human spirit with the Absolute. Theosophy denies the dualism of freedom and necessity, of spirit and nature. III. Theosophy, having its sources in India, in the non-Christian East, does not constitute anything uniquely unrepeatable, it does not know the mystery of the facial countenance, the countenance of Christ and the countenance of each man. For the theosophic consciousness nothing is unique, everything is endlessly repeated, of Christ there are many, and the human countenance is splintered into a multitude. Eastern theosophy is not the revelation about the I, about man. IV.

"Whether or not Hegel can be understood as "Hermetic" depends on how Hermeticism is defined. ... Its adherents all tend to share certain interests often classed as "occult" or "esoteric" which are held together merely by family resemblances. In part, my argument for Hegel's Hermeticism depends on demonstrating that Hegel's interest coincide with the curious mixture interests typical of Hermeticists.

Great Theosophists--Ammonius Saccas (9 Of 29)
Article from the journal theosophy, published in 1936, presenting this figure in the context of the struggle between orthodox Christianity and Alexandrian eclecticism.
http://www.wisdomworld.org/setting/saccas.html

Extractions: A MMONIUS S ACCAS The Church now found herself in conflict not only with the religious ideas of her self-chosen adversaries, but with their scientific views as well. The orthodox Church Fathers declared that God made the world out of nothing. The Gnostic Fathers denied this unphilosophical assertion and held that the universe was the result of a gradual unfoldment from within without. Christianity asserted that the earth was flat, and against this theory was pitted that of Aristarchos of Samos, who had been a member of the Alexandrian School in 280 B.C., and had taught the sphericity of the earth as Pythagoras had taught it before him. In the fourth century, Science and orthodox Christianity came to a deadlock, the bone of contention being the idea of the sphericity of the earth. Criticizing the ancient theory of the roundness of the earth, Lactantius, one of the most polished rhetoricians among the Christians, indignantly inquired: "Is it possible that men can be so absurd as to believe that the crops and trees on the other side of the earth hang downward, and that men have their feet higher than their heads? If you ask them how they defend those monstrosities, how things do not fall away from the earth on that side, they reply that the nature of things is such that heavy bodies tend toward the center, like the spokes of a wheel, while light bodies tend from the center to the heavens on all sides. Now I am really at a loss what to say of those, who, when they have once gone wrong, steadily persevere in their folly and defend one absurd opinion by another."

http://www.onet.net/~cathy/theosophy101.htm

Extractions: Hello all you researchers out there! Maybe your curiosity has the best of you, and you would like to devote some spare time to learning about Theosophy. I can't speak for the Theosophical Society itself (since I am not a member). What I choose to explore other theosophists may not. In fact, none of the websites below have endorsed the content of my website. Additionally, unless a personal website below claims to be a theosophist, they aren't. I have found several websites which contain information on anything from objectives, to affiliations, to criticism. Theosophy is said to have flourished right along with Neo-Platonism. Neo-Platonists drew their name from Plato, although not all of the works were genuinely Plato's. Therefore, I have provided links to several of Plato's works for informative analysis. By including so many links to his writings, I don't mean to imply that he is the only philosopher worth studying. I also suggest you research quotes from the famous and not so famous. I've used some rather humorous quotes in the An Interview With God: Book 1 and An Interview With God: Book 2 manuscripts. I don't need to remind you that when you read the "bashing" and "affiliation" sections you shouldn't always believe what you read, and some of what you read is true, but not yet proven.

Another fault of Theopompus was his excessive fondness for romantic and incredible stories; a collection of some of these (Oaup.Ana) was afterwards made and published under his name. He was also severely blamed in antiquity for his censoriousness, and throughout his fragments no feature is more striking than this. On the whole, however, he appears to have been fairly impartial.

Vernal Blooms By W.Q.Judge
Articles on principles and practices of the higher morality founded upon the metaphysics of theosophy; articles on the methods of service; then, expositions pertaining to Divine Occultism.
http://www.theosophical.ca/VernalBlooms.htm

Extractions: Fifty years ago, on the Day of the Spring Equinox, William Quan Judge laid aside his body of only forty-four years, after accomplishing a mighty task. Students of Theosophical history know how substantially he contributed to the building of the organism through which was radiated the Divine Wisdom. Intuitive aspirants to soul-knowledge are conscious that his writings are profound; and deep is the impress that these make upon their minds and hearts. The book contains articles which deal with principles and practices of the higher morality founded upon the metaphysics of Theosophy; next, articles which indicate to the promulgator the methods of service; then, expositions on psychic powers and phenomena and on spiritual ones pertaining to Divine Occultism. The last five articles are of historical interest but have a distinct message for the present-day workers who are building the future.

http://fusionanomaly.net/theosophicalsociety.html

Extractions: theosophy theosophy, [Gr., = divine wisdom], philosophical system with affinities to MYSTICISM that claims insight into the nature of God and the world through direct knowledge, philosophical speculation, or a physical process . Theosophy deduces the essentially spiritual nature of the universe from an assumption of the absolute reality of the essence of God. Theosophists generally believe that evil exists as a product of finite human desires; individuals can overcome it by arousing their latent spiritual powers. Emphasis is given to allegorical interpretation of sacred writings and doctrines. The Renaissance philosopher PARACELSUS combined scientific ideas with theosophical speculation. More recent theosophists include Jakob BOEHME, F.W.J. SCHELLING, and Emanuel SWEDENBORG. Asian philosophy and theology, especially of India, contain a vast body of theosophical doctrine, and modern theosophy draws much of its vocabulary from Indian sources. The Theosophical Society, with which theosophy is now generally identified, was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.
Theosophy Library Online - Great Teacher Series - CHRYSIPPUS OF SOLI
An article from the Great Teachers Series of the theosophy Library Online.
http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/teachers/ChrysippusOfSoli.htm

Extractions: Zeno founded the Stoa on original insights into Socratic exemplification, a fundamental rethinking of the Platonic virtues and a bold synthesis of earlier Greek metaphysics, all grounded on the affirmation of the unity of nature, visible and invisible, macrocosmic and microcosmic. Cleanthes drew Zeno's teachings together, elaborated them and gave them a harmonious and lyrical expression. The impact of Stoic philosophy may be measured by the energetic criticism aimed at it, especially by the Cynics from whom the Stoics openly borrowed, the Epicureans who saw the Stoics as rough-hewn and the Academy which found them metaphysically crude. Countered vigorously by Zeno and sympathetically by Cleanthes, the rivalry of schools took its toll, and many initially attracted to the strength of Stoic thought drifted away from the call for endurance. It fell to Chrysippus to establish the school on the bedrock of logic and refined concepts. systema, which can be a kind of techne or art, but the systematic synthesis of all knowledge is episteme or science. Philosophy alone constitutes a complete science in this sense. Since innate ideas are difficult to distinguish from amongst the variety of concepts and notions found in human minds, and since most conceptualization involves some link to sensations and perceptions, Zeno preferred a straightforward empirical approach to knowledge. Chrysippus formulated the criterion of truth as

A story by H.P. Blavatsky that didn't end up in her Collected Writings.
http://www.katinkahesselink.net/other/blue_mount1.html

Extractions: by H. P. Blavatsky A new school of thought is arising to challenge long-accepted views of life. Its keynote may be said to be "evolutionary creation." It is an exposition of the phenomena that surround us, in terms that are both scientific and idealistic. It offers an explanation of life, of the origin of our fragment of the universe, of hidden and mysterious natural laws, of the nature and destiny of man, that appeals with moving force to the logical mind. This school of thought is at the same time both iconoclastic and constructive, for it is sweeping away old dogmas that are no longer tenable in the light of rapidly developing modern science, while it is building a substantial structure of facts beneath the age-long dream of immortality. Chapter VI Exactly sixty-four years ago toward the end of the year 1818, in the month of September, a discovery was made quite fortuitously, of a most extraordinary character. This took place near the coast of Malabar, only fifty miles from the fiery ground of Dravid, called Madras. The discovery appeared strange to such a degree, incredible even, that nobody believed it at first. Vague rumors altogether fantastical, stories similar to legends, began to spread, first among the people, then higher. When these rumors and stories penetrated into the local newspapers and became transformed into official reality, the fever of expectation changed into a perfect delirium.

Extractions: Ahimsa (Sanskrit) [from anot + the verbal root hims to injure, kill, destroy] Harmlessness; one of the cardinal virtues. The sanctity of life is imbodied in the teachings of the Buddhists and Jains, as well as of many Hindu schools. Asoka, the first Buddhist emperor, particularly espoused ahimsa as part of the practice of dharma. According to Manu (4:148), one may acquire the faculty of "remembering former births" by the observance of ahimsa. In the Vamana-Purana, ahimsa is personified as the wife of Dharma, whose offspring, Nara and Narayana (epithets of Arjuna and Krishna respectively), pointed the way to spiritual enlightenment.

Extractions: The Second Object of the Parent Theosophical Society founded in 1875, was the study of ancient and modern religions, philosophies and sciences, and the demonstration of the importance of such study. In order to detect the vital principles common to all religions and thus do away with sectarianism and exclusiveness, a mind free from preconceptions and a tolerant heart are necessary. To evaluate a faith correctly, one should study its original scriptures, applying to them the touchstone of common sense, logical reasoning, and knowledge and appreciation of the great truths common to all faiths, ancient and modern. Religion per se is Spiritual Knowledge, that true bond which could unite all men together. False religion, false knowledge, separates man from man, by accentuating unimportant temporary differences. In evaluating the importance of Mohammed and his teachings in the religious and social history of the world, it should be remembered that his system was chiefly influenced by Judaism and Christianity. He drew upon these to illustrate his teachings, because the men and women of his day were familiar with their terms. Koran in the Sacred Books of the East Series, describes the Arabs thus:
