Theosophical Thought (studies in Philosophic Thought)



Theosophy, has been previously, been described, as in all, the study of Reality perhaps, from the various perspectives, of Methodology, Psychology, Ideology, Ontology, Theology etc. This though, is in many ways, an Academic way, of doing things, and is also, not too rather, studious in nature [as with being even, somewhat current, and not too time lasting perhaps].

Madame Blavatsky, was one of those peoples, who sought to really, study Theosophy, in a manner, that the Ancients [Greeks really], actually did. Theirs was a way, of studying Theosophy, based on what, some call somehow "The 7 Principles of Man" [as with, Mohammedan lore perhaps]. These so called "7 Principles", in many ways, speaks of perhaps, 7 Primordial forces, running through us, that make us, perceive, see and react even, to reality, in a certain way or manner. As with a generic study of this all, one can state, these 7 forces, to be:
  • pain
  • laughter
  • worry
  • alarm
  • dread
  • bewilderment
  • perplex
That these 7 forces in all, pertain, to what some do call "The 7 Principles of Man" but presented truly, in a rather generic manner [as with laughter, meaning much more, as with the case, of a simple smile]. Yet though, to understand all this [as with the Libido perhaps], is to know, that at the heart of all this truly, are the basic forces, of Doubt & Self-Doubt. Thats what, truly lies, at the very heart, of Theosophy itself [doubt & self-doubt, and the Libido itself too].

Why though, is this all so important? Its because, the mastering, of these "7 Principles", allows one in all, to be able, to do just about anything, they do please [as with whims, wishes, or even motivations too]. It is here too, that oft perceived, racial differences between, the various peoples of the World arise, as with those, who can be termed, Primordial [in one way or another], being in general, more superior, than others, with regards to all this [a rather difficult conceptualization, as all this has, erroneously, been associated, with peoples who have, African-like hair, when in reality, most Africans are not primordial, but the Scots (of Europe), are].


The Theosophical world, in all truly, exists in all, in the rather known world, of 'Runnings & Meets' ['Runnings', as with running into, another person] [simple vocabulary is used here, to explain in all, that this, has a wide range of meanings, like with the case, of someone bumping into one]. This in many ways, is what truly too, lies at the heart, of Methodology, or even Psychology too ['runnings & meets']. The Theosophical world too, has been attemptedly reproduced, in the world, of Contemporary Art [which is what, Contemporary Art truly, attempts in all, to recreate: the Theosophical (and as with the present and current truly)]. This Art though, has not been truly successful in this, and one can even say, that forms of Media, such as New & Digital Media, have been more successful in all this, as compared to, Contemporary Art [which is a haven/heaven, for all kinds, of critics].



The danger though, with Digital and New Media, is that it in all, presents folks, from the perspective, of Solitary beings. At the very least, one could say, this form of Media, has been primarily responsible, for the culture of Isolationism, seen in Society today. In many ways too, as with 'Runnings & Meets', Digital and New Media, hereby referred to as, Creative Media, has seen, the rise of TV programming, based highly on, the Theosophical [from Talk TV Shows, to Reality TV Shows, to even, all forms, of Celebrity media].

In many ways too though, as with regards, to the Theosophical (Methodology etc.), 'Runnings & Meets', and even, the 7 Primordial forces in us, we can atleast say, that as with regards too also, to Celebrity media, all this mentioned, is at the heart, of notions of Superiority and Inferiority, seen in Societies today. That at the very least, Superiority and Inferiority, is not measured truly, by Intelligence differences (as many perceive), but truly by, ones ability, to fully best in all perhaps, express, the 7 Primordial forces, mentioned above [thats Superiority and Inferiority, in a Nutshell].

Below, and in the name too, of Philism/Philia [
Greek for Love], we will below, attempt in all, to reform really, Creative Media (and as having to do, with Celebrity media really), in the attempt really, to destroy, notions of Superiority and Inferiority, that Celebrity media today [and Digital and New Media too even], have in all, created, for the masses. That in all truly, we live, in a World, where a Samoan Doctor, could discover, the cure for Influenza, but the likes, of Paris Hilton, still be more glorified, at the end of the day. What will be presented below, is not really, Media truly, but a form of a new Creative Media, all based truly, on Philism [as truly with, the worship, of certain cultural existences, as in the form perhaps for instance, of being, an Anglophile]. That this form, of 'Celebrity worship', is much healthier, than that provided by Celebrity media itself, as with regards really, to notions, of Superiority and Inferiority, and as especially with regards, to the 7 Primordial forces within us.

Below, are the recommended, new forms of Creative Media [and based on Philism], that the majority of the World out there, can engage in, as not only with regards, to general entertainment, but also with regards, to helping one deal, with ones notions, of Superiority and Inferiority, in their lives.

Americo-philes:



What truly though, is an Americo-phile? Is it someone, who believes in, the economic opportunities, America has to offer? Not so truly. Americo-philes, are those truly, who understand American cultures, as truly, enlightening, experiences in all perhaps really. Those too, who mainly see, America, as a 'country' really [Ethnographic], and seek to experience it, as such. It speaks truly really, of seeing America perhaps, culturally, from four perspectives: Hollywood culture, Music/Rock Industry culture, Presidential cultures, and finally, Popular cultures. Hollywood culture is today, simply mistaken, for the Movie Industry, and not, the accompanying media based culture, associated with Stars, and not, Celebrities [with Stars, being the true former Hollywood actors/actresses, and in all too, reknowed, for their Intellects really] [and as compared to, Celebrities today, and physical looks]. A media based culture, where the average joe, could run into, their favourite Star (akin to Al Pacino), and get, to hang out with them. The Music/Rock Industry, speaks really of, meeting not just all kinds of famous people (American and International), but also, participating perhaps, in the best party atmosphere, the World has to offer. Presidential cultures, speaks of, a part of American culture, most know nothing about [as with even, viewing it]. It speaks of truly, not only of meeting, American Congressional folks (as with all forms, of politicians) [and their excellent, presentation skills], but its speaks too also, of being taken around America, treated exclusively, as with what they term, a diplomatic experience perhaps, but in all truly, enjoying, as with exclusivity even, American self-presentation skills [which border, on the orgasmic]. A hard to define world really, as with one allowed to act nerdy or geeky, but still feel, rather welcome in all truly, as with having ones esteem, remain intact in all [presentation skills, along the lines of what you see, in the 'Contender' movie, with Christian Slater]. Finally, a fourth part of American cultures to ogle at, would be, its very many varied, Popular cultures, many unknown to outsiders outside America, due to a false belief, American Popular culture, is Hip Hop culture. Popular cultures, such as the Surfin' cultures, or even too, what you see, in hit TV shows, such as The O.C. All the above truly, is what, being an Americo-phile, is truly all about [as with Celebrity media even].

Anglophiles:



Anglophilism, never does seem to end really, as with perhaps even, an obsession, with English speech manners. It is a world, as old as the hills, and one before, becoming of International repute, was actually truly, of European repute [a trip to England, was in many ways, to die for]. In all truly though, a world hard perhaps, to describe, as it speaks of, not only the realm, of English Humour, but also too, of English (and not Saxon), Notary figures. Notary too, as meaning really, folks perceived, as good problem solvers in all. This not only perhaps mundanely, speaks of UK/Brit Media, but also perhaps, traveling to England, and meeting characters in all, Notary, and along the lines, of a Hugh Grant, Prince Harry, Kim Cattrall, or even too really, a Barack Obama. A world hard to explain, but can be penetrated, through UK/Brit Media, and also too, a form of philism, recommended, to those suffering, from superiority/inferiority issues, as based on Personality/Image really.

Francophiles:



The Sopranos, falsely believed truly, to be a show, about the 'Italian Mafia', or even, the American Mafia, is actually truly, a show, about French Gangsterism [with the Images too, seen on the show, actually more or less really, French, and not American, or Italian even]. What truly though, is the Francophile world? In many ways really, it is a world, not too easy, to explain or describe [as with it, lacking, a proper media outlet form]. At the very least, it is the world, of what they do term B-Movies (or in reality, films really). It is also a world of Literature (Novels, Fiction, World Literature etc.). It is knowing, Gerard Depardieu, as a serious Actor, or even too, being acquainted, with French Pop Music (of the Mylene Farmer likes). It is listening too perhaps, to RFI Radio (and International Radio in general), or even, being acquainted, with French Politics, in the movie-documentary format [as with Amelie (and Audrey Tautou), or even, 'La Haine']. In many ways, a world, truly not easy, to engage in (due to poor media outlets), but actually, a world, one can engage in, through Work Employment, as in knowing, thats its better, to have France, offering employment/job opportunities, in your country, rather than, the English/American speaking World. A form of philism, best suited, to those, who truly seek, to live quiet lives, but not have, to suffer from superiority/inferiority issues, as with not, being Worldly, or Sophisticated even. In all, its about thinking, Johnny Depp, to be the hottest actor perhaps, in the whole wide World.

Sinophiles:



The Ring (or Ringu, in its original Japanese format), is a Cinematic piece really, recommended, for those who believe, Asia/Japanese women, to be cute and cuddly figures, one can play with [as with it offering, a different view perhaps, of the way, Asian/Japanese women, are capable perhaps really, of expressing themselves]. The Sinophile world is not one too easy either, to speak of really, it having been made popular rather, by a rather in all too, pretentious, Canadian Media. In its Canadian Media format, the Sino world, is presented, as consisting of, Japanese Food, Chinese Martial Arts, Hong Kong Personalities ('Jackie Chan in Hollywood'), and finally, Taiwanese Gadgetry/Technology [and presented falsely, as being, Japanese too in all]. A better way though truly, to engage, in Sinophilism, is to perhaps, enjoy Chinese Food (and Popular writings), Japanese Martial Arts (and movie-making), Hong Kong News Media (and East Asian politics), and finally, Taiwanese Personalities (and Popular music too) [as with the case perhaps, of Steve Chen] [Also recommended, is the abandoning, of Chinese Philosophy/Literature, as with it pretending perhaps, to be Wordly, in favour of, North Korean Philosophy/Literature]. In all truly, a form of philism, geared really, to those, having superiority/inferiority issues, pertaining really, to Self-Improvement, and 'Self-Bettering' perhaps, as with regards, to the Individual, and issues even, of Morality/Religion.

Indophiles:



One does not know really, of what to make, of the Indian world, as a form, of Philism. India, heavily promoted in the 60's, and 70's even, as containing, huge Worldly wisdom, has in many ways, proven rather disappointing, as with it, being a world, of Self-Defeatist issues. In all truly, Indophilism, is hard to explain truly, as while before, said to consist, of Indian Philosophy/Literature, Indian 'movies' (Bollywood), or even too truly, Indian Food (to be avoided perhaps, as with it, being truly heavily Culturally Indian) [and will in all, make you somewhat, Indian too]. Approaching the Indian world from this manner, is a disappointment really [as with it, truly being heavily culturally Indian]. What then though, is Indophilism, all really about truly? It is perhaps speaking of, how Indian Culture, has come in all, to influence, other cultures worldwide, in a more or less, interesting manner. Indian Culture + Chinese Culture, gave you, Asian Fashion truly. Indian Culture + UK/European Culture, gave you, the Modern Mall. Indian Culture + African Culture, gave you, American Ethnic/Minority Media (as with the case, of movies, such as Friday, or even Next Friday, both by Ice Cube) [to understand this better, is to know, that Immigrants to America, coming in from the Carribean and South America (Guyana), do have roots, in India, as based on, a history, of Indentured Labour, from India, to those said regions] [What often passes, for supposed African based cultures, as associated mainly, with Ethnic movie making, actually is truly of, Indian origins (indo- cultures). The Characters, in Ice Cubes movies mentioned above, behave and speak, more like Indians, than Africans (what is 'African' really, is the Music/'Rap Beat' in it)] [to understand this better, is to know, that African cultures, have shaped America truly, based highly only really, Jazz, RnB, and Rap Music cultures (and not Hip Hop)]. Indian Culture + Middle East Culture, gave you, Indian Success Stories (which interestingly enough, are often perceived as being rather Worldly) [as with a belief perhaps, that an Indian Billionaire, is truly, a real Billionaire]. Finally even, Indian Culture + 'the Americas' Culture, gave you, World Music [as even with 'Life' by Des'ree]. In all truly, a form of philism, for those, not seeking too much exposure with their lives [as in making money quietly, and enjoying it privately too], as it is, a philism truly, associated with Amusement and Humour, more than Entertainment perhaps truly.

Lusophiles:



Lusophilism, is in many ways, a rather hard world to detail in all, it today though, having come to be strongly associated, with Brazilian culture perhaps [as a World phenomenon]. In many ways though, this is rather in all, false. Lusophilism, is in many ways really, what an obsession perhaps, with an Individual/Individuals, is all about. It speaks of truly, the Portuguese influenced world, more than really, the Portuguese speaking world [as with the example perhaps of Macau (and not Angola)]. What really though, is Lusophilism? It is an obsession perhaps even, with Individuals, who in all, tend to face the most, interesting of situations, without their truly seeking them out. To make this clearer, from a Media perspective, is to speak of, famed Bloggers, out there [who even might, find themselves in trouble, due really to their postings]. To explain this rather inexistent, but actually existent world though, is to trace its history in all perhaps. Its history, begins truly, with the Kings of Portugal [Brown], and the members, of their Royal Courts [and European White too really, and not Portuguese]. A World, many who know of European History, know nothing too much about, as with Portuguese Kings, being rather famed in all, in Europe, for being, the most interesting and funny, of peoples [as with their having, mastered, the 7 Primordial forces]. This culture, of Portuguese Royalty, is captured in movies such as the The Three Musketeers above, or even too, Films, such as Annette Benings' Valmont, which in all truly, tell of the adventures/misadventures, of Portuguese Royals, in old Europe. This culture, in Brazil, eventually meshes, with that, of the Capoeirista, and Vale Tudo Fighter [and the beginning, of the obsession by folks out there, with Brazilian cultures]. It however too, makes it way, to the Swahili Coast and Middle East, and truly becomes associated, with Africoid Moors, and Vale Tudo Fighters (they being Congo and Tanzanian really, unlike the Capoeirista, who is really, Angolan), and in general, a world too, similar in drama (Portuguese), as that seen, in PBS/BBC's Masterpiece Theatre [PBS/BBC's Masterpiece Theatre, does not tell, of tales really perhaps, of old Europe, but are actually written pieces, from the Middle East (Qatar & Bahrain), and representing, remnants of Portuguese culture (seen there too), and embodied in all truly, by Africoid Moors (and Afrique/Kenia too really)] [In many ways really, PBS/BBC's Masterpiece Theatre, actually does represent life somewhat (relationships wise), as one seen, in Victorian Kenya (but not Victorian)] [PBS/BBC's Masterpiece Theatre, is not European culture really, but renditions really even, of Portuguese Royal Culture]. A philism too, that extends, into Macau, and the world even, of Professional Gamblers. It is not necessarily, a real world, as those in it, don't face adventure after adventure, but truly really, misadventure, after misadventure. In many ways, with the exception, of famed Bloggers and Capoeirista writings, hard to infiltrate, as with learning truly about it, makes you part of it [just simply characters, who move around, with no fear perhaps, and finding themselves, in all sorts of situations, due to ideas generated, on their parts] [As a summary, the world perhaps, of communicating and meeting, with a famed Blogger].
