Theosophy Part II

Often during this life, our spiritual nature is obscured in our self-centered daily lives as we cater to our immediate needs and desires. But the spiritual self is always there to guide us if we seek it with strong earnest desire.

We can strive to reach our higher self by:

Listening to our still small voice of conscience.

Noting the dreams from the higher self.

Developing our intuition.

Meditating.

Studying principles of the Wisdom Religion.

Aligning ourselves with Nature.

Engaging in action for the greater good.

Carefully reading the events of our daily life.

Brotherhood is a fact in nature. We are ONE at the highest spiritual component of our nature. We are sparks from one flame. We are the fingers on one hand. We are ONE at other levels as well.

We should:

Understand we are not separate from humanity or the world.

Emphasize brotherhood, altruism, and compassion in our daily lives.

Strive to know our higher self.

As a guiding rule - act for and as the Self of All.

The religions of the world are branches on the tree whose trunk is the one ancient - once universal - wisdom religion. The religions are the tributaries of one great river. (But they borrow from each other to make the actual details much more complex.)

Mythology often transmits some of this knowledge in symbolic form.

Periodically, great teachers come amongst us to help us in this evolutionary path. They may create another branch on the tree.

Humanity's potential is infinite and every being has a contribution to make toward a grander world. We are all in it together. We are one.
