My daughter Haley considers
the idea of theosophy as a course
of spiritual study for her future. |
Ojai, CA -- I spent time at the Krotona Library studying my new
non-religion: theosophy. This
well-stocked library, which was built in 1924 and houses rare, out-of-print
books focuses on the esoteric branches of knowledge such as alchemy, astrology,
and mysticism. In my opinion, the Kratona Library invented and now owns “new
age.” Sometimes I would just sit in this venerable space looking out from the
floor-to-ceiling picture window at the Heritage Oak tree and rose garden. In
the background were rolling hills of dry, yellow grasslands framed by
mountains. Through osmosis I would absorb the teachings without even cracking a
book.
