Parapsychology and personal survival after death(click) All through its history mankind has believed in a life beyond the grave. Yet, in modern times this belief has been shaken. A summary of ten arguments pointing strongly to personal survival after death. |
The origins of the NEW AGE (click here) New Age philosophy is based on ancient traditions: Gnosticism,
Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, as well as Eastern philosophy.
These were blended into one belief
when Mme. Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. Her
approach still bore the spirit of the age. Conflicts raged over her person, miracles and
message. Yet her basic ideas of karma, reincarnation and the holographic
unity of the universe are now widely accepted. |
Javanese mysticism is based on age-old traditions. Their disciplines are little known in the West. With a single exception Javanese mystical movements have never expanded outside Indonesia.
