Who are the Buddhas, Mahasattvas and Daoist Immortals?

[anshinodharma]

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I am curious what the perspective on these are. 

When I ask ChatGPT about Blavatsky's view, I get the following: 

Buddhas: Blavatsky believed that the Buddhas are highly evolved beings who have attained enlightenment and reached a state of spiritual perfection. They are seen as the pinnacle of human evolution and are characterized by their profound wisdom, compassion, and selflessness. Blavatsky taught that there have been numerous Buddhas throughout history, with Gautama Buddha being one of the most well-known examples. She also described other Buddhas who have guided humanity in different epochs and civilizations.

Mahasattvas: In Theosophy, Mahasattvas are considered advanced spiritual beings who have made significant progress on the path towards enlightenment but have not yet attained full Buddhahood. They are seen as great spiritual teachers and guides, working in collaboration with the Buddhas to assist humanity in its spiritual evolution. Mahasattvas are regarded as embodiments of virtue and spiritual excellence, and they inspire and help individuals in their spiritual journeys.

Daoist Immortals: Blavatsky incorporated some aspects of Taoism into Theosophy and acknowledged the existence of Daoist immortals. According to her teachings, these immortals are highly evolved spiritual beings who have attained immortality through the cultivation of inner spiritual practices and the mastery of vital life forces. They are believed to have achieved a state of spiritual enlightenment and have transcended the limitations of ordinary human existence. Blavatsky described these immortals as possessing special powers, such as the ability to manipulate and control natural forces, and they are seen as wise and benevolent beings who aid in the spiritual development of humanity.

What is the relation between the different spiritual paths as signified in this thread: a406.proboards.com/thread/1662/spiritual-paths-planet & the Buddhas?

I for one don’t know Anshinodharma.

But, if I were to test it, I would use the technique that I used in my first post on that thread. Perhaps you could try that yourself? Just listen quietly to yourself as you read the words and look for anomalies. Exception testing so to speak. Failing that hopefully someone else can help you.

I know it can be terribly frustrating as you try to make sense of esoteric texts. My view is that, while inherently useful, most were written in the language of a different time, which has obvious difficulties. Try to ‘feel’ the subtle differences.

Don’t know if that helps or not Anshinodharma.

[stewartedwards]

Realised that I should have been more specific Anshinodharma.

Eg: Take the first - Buddhas. Compare it to the options on the other thread and see if any feel different. You will be trying to find what resonates best. It is likely to be very subtle.

>Blavatsky believed that the Buddhas are highly evolved beings who have attained enlightenment and reached a state of spiritual perfection. They are seen as the pinnacle of human evolution...

This is a bit simplified. Mostly those called Buddhas have been posted into the human race. After they have learned to manage their humanness they progress fairly rapidly through the stages of enlightenment (inner plane initiations).

They demonstrate human unfoldment. Evolution is not quite the right term,

Mahasattvas is not a term in widespread use. Literally it means great purity.

Daoist Immortals is a tricky topic. Most Daoists are working with energies from the previous solar system and therefore with the energy and intelligence lessons learned in that phase.

In this cycle our God (solar logos) is learning right relationship - most easily seen by humans as love.

There are various traditions of immortality including Sumerian and alchemic. Mostly immortality is incidental to the path of inner initiation. Once the five electricities are well managed, immortality should be a natural result - since there is only the appearance of dense substance remaining.

Apparently Enki has reappeared in this planetary neighbourhood. Someone asked him about immortality. He replied that he does not do that. When his body is worn out, he makes a clone and moves into that.
