Gain Control of Desire and Thought
People are not conscious of their conscious minds. Their conscious minds move like a restless sleeper in bed, and their conscious thought really in no functional way differs from dream.

Stop Being Thought
Orange magic helps us if we don’t think too much? Actually, it helps us to really think, and stop being thought. Putting action first enhances thinking? It does, and recognizing thought as action.

All Thought is Connective
So all thought is connective… Let’s experiment. Think of something, just a single thing, and compare it to nothing else.

Syncretic Thought
Shall we discuss syncretism? Syncretism is an ancient term. It originally referred to a political organization around the kingdom of Crete which gives an early clue as to it’s meaning.

Break Your Rules of Thought
In general, creative meditation is learning to break your own rules of thought in a conscious, self directed way, and the easiest way to do this may be in active mindfulness, active meditation.

Core Principles of Theosophical Thought

Everything was an expression…
