Welcome

Welcome to Alpheus, a web site dedicated to the esoteric interpretation of history, primarily through the prism of Theosophy. Read here more about Alpheus.

Alpheus was started in 1997 to present some research on Krishnamurti and the Theosophical Movement:

Krishnamurti and the World Teacher Project

The Masters and Their Emissaries

Krishnamurti: An Esoteric View of his Teachings

Centennial Efforts and Counter-Efforts of the Millennium

Theosophy and Krishnamurti: Harmonies and Tensions
(Lecture)

Jean Overton Fuller, Master Narayan, and the Krishnamurti-Scott-Anrias Issue

It then branched out into geopolitics and current events with articles on the Iraq War, Russo-Chinese duplicity, 9/11 and the 2007/8 economic crisis:

Dossier: War and Truth (Jan. '03)

The Abiding Communist Threat in its Open and Hidden Manifestations (July '04) & update (Nov '09)

War and Truth V: What happened on 9/11? (March '06)

Also the very fruitful philosophical movement of phenomenology received some attention:

Recently I added some smaller articles on miscelaneous subjects, which were first posted on different Theosophical blogs:

The State of the TS (Adyar) in 2008: A Psycho-esoteric Interpretation (May '08)

Bibracte: Last Center of Celtic Occultism (July '09)

And wrote some reviews:

Caveat

This web site is the product of an individual initiative and is run independently, content-wise and financially, from any spiritual or political organization. All views found on this web site are those of individual writers, contributors or the editor himself.
