some more reading matter that has 'come my way'. By the by wisdomworld.org has some absolutely wonderful articles.
Subject: 24 articles about JESUS in the "LIGHT OF THEOSOPHY" From: Compiler Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 15:01:48 -0500 X-Message-Number: 4
I hope that many readers, especially newcomers to theosophy, will find this collection of articles about JESUS, all presented in the bright and profound "Light of Theosophy", to be very informative and useful and that they will greatly add to the various views that people everywhere have about him -- giving much food-for-thought for everyone to ponder over, concerning what he was all about. All of the articles are from THEOSOPHY magazine, and are on my WisdomWorld.org web site.
These 1st two articles are taken from the 166-article "Setting the Stage" Introductory book. They are the 2nd and 3rd articles in the 29-part "GREAT THEOSOPHISTS" series that runs from article number 130 to 158 in the book. This is the link to the index page where you can see the titles of all 166 articles in the book. They are numbers (131) and (132): http://www.wisdomworld.org/setting.html
If you don't want to scroll down the Index page to get to them, these are their direct links:

Dear newcomers to Theosophy:
I sincerely do hope that my web site offers a well-rounded overall view of Theosophy and the Theosophical Movement. The 3 main links to everything on it are found below.
Please know that I'm only the compiler of all the articles found on my web site; I'm not a scholar; and also that I personally do not like to take part in conversations, even though I do hope that what I present from time to time will help a little in the discussions being carried on by others. So please do not be insulted when I do not respond if someone addresses me, or addresses anything that is found in any of the articles on my web site; I leave that for others to deal with if they want to -- whether pro, con, neutral, friendly or unfriendly.

You may find a great deal of the Truth that you are searching for here:
WisdomWorld.org web site (Main Page): http://www.wisdomworld.org
This is the Index page of the "Introductory", "Setting the Stage" book, which was especially compiled for newcomers to Theosophy: http://www.wisdomworld.org/setting.html
The page where "Additional" articles are slowly being added (which contains 18 sections that can each be clicked on at the top of the page in order to go directly down to them, as well as to get the link to any particular section that you may want to use in a posting on a discussion board, or in an e-mail to someone): http://www.wisdomworld.org/additional/index.html
"PUBLIC & PRIVATE ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT FORUM": This next link is to the most updated version of my economic proposal to humanity, a practical project to help our suffering world that I also consider to be Theosophical. In it you will find a new and unique, but mostly unknown, economic system model that might be able to put an end to involuntary poverty on earth. How? It presents a way to fully finance everything of importance that is needed in every nation. Because of this it's well worth pointing to. Please note that, for strategic reasons, of wanting it to have the best chance of being accepted by all peoples worldwide, no matter what their religious, philosophical, and scientific beliefs are, I've put it on a completely different web site; it contains no mention of, or link to, the Theosophy and the Theosophical Movement that is presented on my WisdomWorld.org web site: http://www.PublicAndPrivateEnterprise.org
