Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Esoteric Basis of Christianity, or Theosophy and Christian Doctrine: A Paper Read Before the Blavatsky Lodge of the Theosophical Society It is well known that the claim which has been made by the Church, from its earliest traditions down to ourpresent day, on behalf of Christian doctrine, has been that of a special divine revelation by a personal God. Beginning with the first chapter of Genesis, and ending with the last verse of Revelation, we are asked to believe that the collection of ancient writings known as the Bible has been specially prepared and inspired by this personal God, as a record of his dealings with, and his will towards, the creatures he originally created. This I believe may be accepted as the fundamental basis of Christian doctrine, the centre round which all the teachings of the Church, whether Protestant or Catholic, has revolved, and from which they cannot get away without breaking up and destroying all that has ever been known historically as Christianity. I say specifically that this is the claim made by the Church, because it is a fact commonly overlooked, and one indeed of which the majority of professing Christians are ignorant, that what is known as Christianity, in its doctrinal form, in its traditions, and in the selection and compilation Of the subject matter of the Bible, is purely ecclesiastical. The Bible in its present form, the creeds, and the rites and ceremonies which go to make up the sum total Of what is known historically as Christianity, were com piled by the early Church authorities from miscellaneous sources. This, however, is a matter of literary and historical data into which I cannot enter now; buti wish it to be understood that in speaking of Christianity and Christian doctrine I am dealing at present with its ecclesiastical and historical forms, and not with the personality or teachings of its supposed founder. We have then this fundamental idea of Christianity as a revelation of the personal relationship between a creative God, and the creatures he created; and upon this basis is built up the doctrinal superstructure with which we are all familiar in its many variations and modifications.

(Book of Dzyan.) There is not one law for the gods, and another for mortals; one life for the atom, and another for the globe." Each is a part of the web. Reflecting the Self-Existent Lord like a mirror, each becomes in turn a world." (Book of Dzyan.) It is this which places the deductive Philosophy so infinitely beyond the methods of inductive science, with its endless speculations and contradictory theories. It is this which places it so infinitely beyond those little systems of so-called religion, which can mete out a 'plan of salvation', by which perchance a few favoured mortals may enter into an eternity of bliss. 'Spirit' or ' Father ' is often symbolised by fire or light; and ' matter' or ' Mother ' is symbolised by water or the ' deep '. This, as we have already seen, is also a term for abstract space. " Darkness radiates Light, and Light drops one solitary ray into the Mother-Deep " (Space). Now this is exactly the same symbolism as found in the first chapter of Genesis: ' Darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be Light. " Here the ' deep' and the 'waters' are synonymous, and are the female principle, the ' Mother-Deep'; while the ' Spirit' is the ' Father '. It is not difficult to trace this also in the New Testament, where the birth of Jesus is only a c repetition of this symbology. Mary is Mare, the sea; representing again the ' waters ', or the 'deep '. She is "found with child of the Holy Ghost" (Mat.i. 18). Now, one symbol for the Holy Ghost is fire (Acts ii. 3), and we have thus again the dual symbols, fire and water, as representing spirit and matter, or Father-Mother; the " spirit of God " and the "waters" of Genesis....

Download or read book Esoteric Christianity written by Annie Besant and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Christianity held secrets equal to those of other great religions, says Annie Besant. Its first followers guarded them as priceless treasures. After an increasingly rigid hierarchy began to bury these truths in the early centuries A.D., they were known only to a few initiates, who communicated them privately, often in obscure language. In Esoteric Christianity, Besant's aim is to restore the secret truths underlying Christian doctrine. As public interest grows in the Gnostic Gospels and the mystical side of Christianity, Besant's remarkable book, first published in 1901, is attracting new attention.
