“A compelling synthesis of perennial wisdom and modern scientific inquiry… a visionary blueprint for a new science.”

It is most encouraging to see the work beginning to find resonance 🙏

It was a pleasure to join Jonathan Brown for the Shepheard-Walwyn podcast in conversation on my latest book, "Consciousness Came First".

We explore whether consciousness is a product of the brain, or its underlying ground.

For those drawn to the deeper nature of mind:

Edi Bilimoria—Consciousness Came First

A quotation from C W Leadbeater

Sometimes people grieve when they find old age coming upon them, when they find their vehicles not so strong as they used to be. They desire the strength and the faculties that they once had. It is wise for them to repress that desire, to realize that their bodies have done good work, and if they can no longer do the same amount as of yore, they should do gently and peacefully what they can, but not worry themselves over the change. Presently they will have new bodies; and the way to ensure a good vehicle is to make such use as one can of the old one, but in any case to be serene and calm and unruffled. The only way to do that is to forget self, to let all selfish desires cease, and to turn the thought outward to the helping of others as far as one’s capabilities go.

C. W. Leadbeater (1846-1934) English clergyman, theosophist, author [Charles Webster Leadbeater]
The Masters and the Path, ch. 14 (1925)

What is meant by the simple injunction, “Know Thyself”?

Does it refer only to the body… or to something far deeper that expresses through it?

"Consciousness Came First" explores the unfolding of consciousness as the primary principle of existence, and its expression through both the subtle and the material.

A contribution to the perennial philosophy in dialogue with modern science.

Consciousness may not be produced by the brain, but expressed through it.

If so, the implications for science are profound.

Satanists are spiritual, but that does not mean being #spiritual is satanic. It's like being human.... All theosophists are human, but because you are human does not make you a theosophist. Do not be deceived into thinking #theosophy is evil. The word is misused. If they are using witchcraft, call them witches. If they are summoning devils to curse people, call them satanists.

The word Theo-Sophy means "God-Wisdom", and is not evil.

According to the Art Institute of Chicago, Delville used ink, pencil, pastel, and watercolor for this piece. I like how that combination makes some parts of the image more saturated and sharp than the rest, which creates a more modern and textured feel.

What's strange too is how many of those are also tied in to #Theosophy. Even the strange as fuck #Qanon lizard people is straight from the #Lemuria race in Theosophy.

Its a deep rabbit hole, but so much of the strange beliefs and #conspiracy is basically a copy-paste job.

Theres a new updated system, called Law of One. Its basically a 99% repackaged Theosophy from the 1970-1980's.
