-Caveat Lector- from; http://pages.prodigy.net/schuller/millenium.htm <A HREF="http://pages.prodigy.net/schuller/millenium.htm">Millenium</A> ----- ~Centennial Efforts and Counter-Efforts of the Millenium~ With the closing of this millenium it might be of interest to present an esoteric retrospective of a 1000 years of efforts by individuals and groups, which tried to make the world we live in better and/or worse. The guiding principle is Blavatsky's idea that in the last quarter of every century the Adepts,or Masters of Wisdom, send one or more of Their representatives to enlighten humanity. This idea has been worked out in a small measure by Theosophist John R. Wilkinson in his 1930 article The Theosophical Society In Western History. This article will serve as a general introduction to the body of this presentation tilted Correlations between Spiritual Developments and Historical Events, which consists of timelines,diagrams and little biographies. It's more or less a puzzle, but with the help of The Centennial Efforts-diagram and the The Counter-Efforts-diagram it will hopefully become clear what historical patterns I found emerging from all the collected data, which mostly have been culled from books mentioned in the Bibliography. The puzzle-like structure of the main document is as follows: It starts with identifying six main spiritual developments between 1875 and 1935. They are: 1) The founding of the Theosophical Society by Blavatsky, 2) Opposition to the TS through different persons, 3) Expectation and coming of a Great Teacher with Annie Besant, C.W. Leadbeater and Krishnamurti, 4) Opposition to the coming through Steiner and others, 5) Collapse of the Project by Krishnamurti himself, 6) Contingency Plan with Guy Ballard. These six spiritual events are presented as archetypical and each is subequently connected with historical events for which they might have been predominant, or at least important, causative factors. Each of these six spiritual developments are also presented as having precedents with their own historical consequences. So, each of the 6 spiritual events have a) its historical consequences, b) its spiritual precedents, which have c) their own historical consequences. Not all of these developments have been worked out systematically. I intend this presentation to be open-ended. Nothing is fixed and I am open for new facts, ideas and patterns. So far this presentation consists of the following components: The Theosophical Society In Western History (by John R. Wilkinson. From the June 1930 Theosophist. Author works out Blavatsky's suggestion to organize history by looking for 100-year cycles of efforts to help individuals and civilizations along spiritual lines.) Correlations between Spiritual Developments and Historical Events (Based on lecture notes this document presents timelines, diagrams and very short biographies in an effort to discover some historical patterns in the last 1000 years of western history.) The Centennial Efforts (Diagram of efforts from 1075 untill 1999) The Counter-Efforts (Diagram of counter-points from 1075 untill 1999) Bibliography (of the key works used so far in researching the 'Efforts.') ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
