The Gods Await -- in the Wings
by Eloise Hart
from Sunrise Magazine
 |
Yes, there was a time when gods shared this earth with man as friend, a time when people understood that the entire cosmos is guided, controlled, and animated by hosts of intelligent beings who work as agents of karmic law. Mythologies worldwide bring the gods close with stories of their connections to earth and mortals. Scriptures, too, provide details of various orders of divinities. Christians proclaim this truth with their Celestial Hierarchy composed of ascending orders of Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Thrones, Virtues, Dominions, Cherubs, and Seraphim, in which each plays a part in building and overseeing evolutionary life throughout the cosmos. Using Sanskrit terms that are descriptive and profound, theosophy tells of great-hearted mahatmas, "great selves," also referred to as adepts or masters. These elder brothers watch over human progress and work untiringly to aid, protect, and enlighten humanity. More advanced are the different classes of dhyani-chohans, "lords of meditation." Having completed their human evolution during past periods of planetary development, these spiritual beings dwell within the inner planes of the cosmos assisting the evolution of all living beings. One class, the manasaputras or "mind-born sons," incarnated among early mankind millions of years ago to enlighten our minds so we could think, imagine, understand, make choices, and assume responsibility for our decisions. In addition, they awakened in our souls the desire to become as gods, a desire which leads to the realization that divinity is not someone without, but is within ourselves. We need but turn inwards to find the godlike qualities of truth, courage, and love.

Supreme Court denies Lexmark's hearing request
Jimmy Askew brought this to my attention.
As you may or may not know, Lexmark sued Static Control Components ("SCC") under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (the "DMCA"), in a case that would have allowed the use of the DMCA to establish long-term technology monopolies. By creating a lock-and-key mechanism, a copyright owner can protect access to or copying of copyrighted material, with circumvention of such devices protected by federal law.
Lexmark attempted to use the DMCA to keep competitors from creating toner cartridges that would be compatible with its printers, but the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the defendant, SCC. The United States Supreme Court has now rejected certiorari of the 6th Circuit decision, leaving the case closed.

The Haunted and the Haunters: Or, The House and the Brain
By the Right Hon. Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton
[1878], Taken from themagickalreview.org

A friend of mine, who is a man of letters and a philosopher, said to me one day, as if between jest and earnest,—“Fancy! since we last met, I have discovered a haunted house in the midst of London.”
“Really haunted?—and by what?—ghosts?”
“Well, I can’t answer that question; all I know is this—six weeks ago my wife and I were in search of a furnished apartment. Passing a quiet street, we saw on the window of one of the houses a bill, ‘Apartments, Furnished.’ The situation suited us: we entered the house—liked the rooms—engaged them by the week—and left them the third day. No power on earth could have reconciled my wife to stay longer; and I don’t wonder at it.”
