Horizons of the Mind

Mnemosyne - mother of the Muses

THOUGH often burdened by  irreconcilable differences and conflicts, human beings live, like a forest of giant redwoods,  entwined together at the roots.

Everyone of us has the potential, more or less developed, to peer into the ‘soul of things,’ experiencing their hidden essence.

Often appearing as ‘gut feelings’ we clearly don’t pay enough heed to that ability, favoring reason instead.

And, it is taught that the power of prescience lies ready to spring at the core of even the simplest entities, from atoms to ants.

Cells at disparate locations in our bodies, for example, will talk to one other, and trees are known to warn other trees of insect attacks over long distances.

Many animals can sense earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in advance, and it is demonstrated that dogs know when their owners are coming home.

These phenomena are of the fundamental teachings in Theosophy, i.e. consciousness is universal, and necessary to the survival of life.
