ദി ഈ പൊയന്റ്സ് ഓഫ് CONDUCT
The SIX POINTS OF CONDUCT, as stated in AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER, include: Self-Control of the Mind;Self-control in Action;Tolerance;Cheerfulness; ONE-POINTEDNESS; & CONFIDENCE...you can look up the meanings of these for yourselves and then decide how to proceed on your own or leave them alone and let things happen...
അറ്റ് ദി ഫീറ്റ് ഓഫ് ദി MASTER
The small edition of AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER attributed to ALCYONE,which was published in 1910, gives some insight and hindsight into the THEOSOPICAL MOVEMENT which centered at ADYAR, INDIA, and went through 34 printings up to the year 1976 and undoubtedly has gone through more reprintings since then.....which is indicative of its importance to THEOSOPHISTS in general and also to other occultists who find an affinity for this type of writing and study as well as practice....... A problem with this is that many do not see the practical aspects but only the theoretical ones and often decide that any personal efforts are impossible in modern, contemporary life and they certainly will and do encounter an intense resistance to these ideas in nearly all aspects..........this is certainly apt to be most painful for those who are seeking peace and happiness and harmony in the world today at this writing....as the flames are being fanned as I write this by various fanatics of all kinds and descriptions who seek to impose their beliefs on everyone who is different or diverse in thoughts and in understanding....

മടമേ ബ്ലാവറ്സ്കി'സ TRAVELS
The travels of many occultists over the centuries have been topics of many discussions, especially by those who seek to debunk things or to find other things to criticize......and, of course, some persons with money and time have retraced many ancient and mythological quests and sites and battles,etc. and come up with various ideas and some fascinating conclusions, such as, the Oddessy and Alexander's invasions in Asia,etc. as well as others... Two occultists that come immediately to mind are: G.I. GURDJIEFF & MADAME HELENA P. BLAVATSKY.....among others.....whose travels have come into question at times and whose claims for certain things seem dubious or suspect,etc....... Travel in the 19th and even in the 20th Centuries was often difficult and unlike today's modern, swift travel somewhat available to everyone, especially those that can afford such...along with numerous other things that render exotic climes and locales almost commonplace......but in the old days, with meager immunizations, few toilets and lack of now available and ubiquitous toilet paper, and multiple devices to record nearly everything from the first breath or step to the final leg and endpoint of any journey,,,,,,dangerous as some may be in hostile areas.... Here is my take on all such travels by occultists of note....some of which can be partially verified while others not...and many surmised things as well, if you have driven across the US or any state or whatever and made a few stops in places,you've been there.....but, however brief such stops, layovers(especially on planes)etc. you've been there....living in a place is quite different from simply traveling through or visiting....guys who take in seminars or give them in various places, attend business meetings in other states, and take in shows in various cities,etc. or some similar very short period in any particular place...have all been there and maybe met hundreds, possibly thousands of people(especially if they are movie stars, celebrities, politicians, statesmen,etc. etc.) and you get a picture of what I am saying....there might have been a handshake with someone famous or infamous and you will remember such, but will they? Will the place you went remember you? I doubt it......unless you did some deed, like massacre a few hundred or more and even then they might not know your name...and so it goes....... Leisurely travel in past times meant taking horses and other animal transports and also ships and what few cars and planes might have been available in the 20th and some trains,etc. Nowadays, you can be in Asia from where I am in around 18 hrs or so,depending.....on certain things..... So I tend to accept that these two occultists did travel in very unusual and remote places even if their claims and descriptions do not match those of their critics and detractors..... Of course, some fictional accounts of things have disguised certain truths and persons,etc. for special reasons....novels do this all the time.....and sometimes people are given other names,titles, and the like to avoid problems and law suits,etc. There are plenty of such examples...... Even place names can be sort of disguised for reasons........just use your own judgment on such matters if at all......and follow in their footsteps if you dare...

थे बुक ऑफ़ द्ज्याँ
THE BOOK OF DZYAN is composed of stanzas that translated from it into English by Madame Blavatsky and I suggest obtaining a copy of a book that lists them in order and as a complete text without the commentaries and references,etc. if you can find one. I have one but here in the US that I have made use of in the past.....There are a few other books that attempt to give special insights and information to this book and from some who have spent a lifetime of study and research, not to mention attempting to live a special life devoted to these teachings....
