Chapter 6: Cosmological Theories


In this chapter, Sheldon examines how Theosophy constructs its vision of the cosmos—its structure, cycles, origin, and relationship to divinity—and then contrasts it with how New Thought either adopts, adapts, or rejects those cosmological ideas. We explore Theosophy’s complex ideas of emanation, periodic universes, root-races, planes of being, and how these cosmic views shape its view of humanity’s place in the universe. Sheldon critiques the plausibility of these theories, asking: do they serve spiritual insight or simply elaborate myth? Join us to unpack this cosmic blueprint and what it means for belief and spiritual life.
