“From the ONE LIFE formless and Uncreate, proceeds the Universe of lives”, said H.P.Blavatsky (1,St.7(5)). She begins the Secret Doctrine from this important and infinite notion. The Proem offers the first symbols of cosmogenesis: a white disk on the black background and then a dot located inside a circle. 

A sign of Aquarius is a sign of servant, it is a man with a jug of water on his shoulders, so full, that water is abundantly poured outside. A jug on shoulders can be consider as character of service. Serving is not easy thing. It is necessary to give a lot of forces and time, to sacrifice own interests, to work very much and tensely. For service there are needed certain qualities: self-oblivion, tolerance, wisdom, directed efforts, ability to work without attachment, stability and persistence. 

Nowadays, the notion of ever-changing life is very popular. Actually, many people consider a high level of ambiguity, uncertainty, chaos, disorder to be unhealthy to both the society and an individual. Scientists come to a disappointing conclusion about increase of entropy; many recall ancient Chinese wisdom about sympathy to those who live in times of changes.       

In my brief presentation, I would like to focus your attention on two main theses:

o                  First, since ancient times, the concepts of ideas and ideals have been in focus of numerous teachings and philosophies. This included a need for ideals which would be able to help the mankind in successfully developing as a highly humanistic civilization.

o                  Second, the ideas and ideals presented in the Theosophy Teaching introduced to the world by H.P. Blavatsky belong to major important tools for fostering the establishment of the principals for new human civilization. The implementation of this concept is an important task entrusted to the Theosophical Society by its real Founders.

Today, many people acknowledge the dimensions, depth and timeliness of the impact produced on human vision of the world by the heritage left by H.P. Blavatsky, whose 185^th birthday we celebrate this year.
