As the events of the past days and months sink into our collective consciousness, how should we as spiritual beings feel, think and act? How to offset the debilitating effects -- mental, physical and psychological? Especially as news of corruption, greed, suffering and loss grind their deadly dark messages into our consciousness, in surround sound?All sectors of our personal, national and global life, have taught us much about "inherent evil."  What of "inherent good?"This week, we had intended a post about modern cosmology and evolution, in light of Theosophy. We chose instead a topic much closer to home: our inner, spiritual foundations. We decided to offer a thread of hope, offsetting our collective Myth of Sisyphus.Listen to the genius of " target="_blank">Deepak Chopra delivering just such a message -- all in one minute:This is pure Theosophy. "Man is the microcosm of the macrocosm," writes H. P. Blavatsky in her occult " target="_blank">Transactions. "The god on earth," she assures us, "is built on the pattern of the god in nature."Theosophy holds ever a transcendent view of humanity. Recognizing, also, the paradoxes of human life we see daily around us. Shall we despair? No. We hold ever to a divine optimism, that "the universal consciousness of the real Ego transcends a millionfold the self-consciousness of the personal or false Ego."An inspiring message of Theosophy is this from Blavatsky's seminal work Isis Unveiled"Ervin refers to that which connects us all as a constant exchange of information. Some call it intuition, inspiration or creativity, and he believes that we need to stop dismissing information that is not coming from our physical senses."Ervin's perspective is that the information that underlies all things is consciousness and the recognition of our connection to each other and our environment is vital for our collective future. Finally, he discusses his two upcoming books, including: 'WorldShift 2012' and his most recent book '" target="_blank">Science and the Akashic Field.'"CLICK
