Box 136 MADISON SQUARE BRANCH, NEW YORK, N. Y. Original from Digitized by UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN INTRODUCTORY During the present century, wonderful in all ways, the mind of man, breaking away from social, political, mental and religious conventionalities, has entered upon the exploration of thought regions heretofore undreamt of in any philosophy. Various systems of New Thought and many schools of experience have sprung into being, while forgotten lore of the past has been revived, receiving new and clearer interpretation. Among the results is a literature extraordinary as well in copiousness as in character: a fact that is demonstrated by the con­ tents of this volume. The task entailed by the compilation and classification of “ The Bibliog­ raphy of Progressive Literature” has been one of considerable difficulty and arduousness—not without its compensation, however, for it has resulted in a Book of Reference invaluable to all who would follow nineteenth century search for knowledge along novel lines, and its strivings after betterment, whether physical, mental or spiritual. It is not claimed, however, that the work is without defects, or that it is by any means complete. Omissions have been unavoidable, while thoroughly accurate classification is next to an impossibility. Nevertheless, it is believed that its merits will counterbalance its ’ many shortcomings, and that it will satis­ factorily meet an urgent need of the student and the general reader. In connection with this publication, it is the purpose to issue Supplemen­ tary Lists at regular intervals, which will serve as a means of recording what­ ever of importance has been omitted from the work itself, besides keeping it fully up to date.

  • Baby Boomer Vegetarians
    Baby Boomer Vegetarians By Stephen F. Barnes, Ph.D. According to some sources, vegetarianism is on a modest uptick or at least holding its own, with about 6.7 percent of the U.S. adult population (20 million) reporting they no longer eat meat, and 2.3 percent (7 million) claiming they never eat meat, fish or fowl—and, by definition, are true vegetarians. Still smaller, about 1.4 percent don’t eat, wear, or use much of anything caught, hatched, milked, or slaughtered (no meat, fish/seafood, poultry, dairy products/eggs) and are known as vegans (pronounced veeguns). Women are twice as likely to avoid eating meat than men, and roughly 10 percent of Baby Boomers are probably non-meat eaters by our non-scientific best estimate. Most of these numbers (see summary box below) are from a national survey conducted in 2009 for the Vegetarian Resource Group. And while the survey sample only consisted of 2,397 adults and used an on-line query technique, the Harris Poll research methodology was considered highly reliable (Stahler, 2009). U.S. Dietary Habits of Adults 18 Years and Older 100% Total adults 6.7% Never eat meat 6.3% Never eat poultry 14.6% Never eat fish/seafood 7.6% Never eat dairy products 8.8% Never eat eggs 23.4% Never eat honey 2.3% Never eat meat, poultry, fish/seafood (vegetarian) 1.4% Never eat meat, poultry, fish/seafood, dairy products/eggs (vegan, except for possibly honey) Of course, there are lots of reasons why people do not eat certain foods.

  • TH-I 3-Jul-1985.Pdf
    [38] JESUS IN THEOSOPHICAL HISTORY Some Theosophical leaders have taught that Jesus lived about 100 B.C., and that he was not crucified; they identify him with Jeschu Ben Pandera (the spelling varies, and will do so in this note) of Jewish tradition, who was stoned. This effectively undercuts orthodox Christianity - if there was no suffering “under Pontius Pilate”, then there was no conventional Atonement, and if the New Testament can be wrong on so important a matter as the date and manner of death of its main character then its reliability is low. The 100 B.C. theory (the precise date is sometimes given differently) was introduced by H.P. Blavatsky in “Isis Unveiled” Vol. 2 p. 201. She cites Eliphas Levi “La Science Des Esprits” (Paris, Germer Balliere, 1865, a publisher with offices in London and New York also.) Levi there printed the Jewish accounts. His book has not been translated, but it is in the S.P.R. Li- brary. Although she did not always commit herself to the theory, H.P.B. did endorse it in several places, notably in 1887 in two articles “The Esoteric Character of the Gospels” and her response in French to the Abbe Roca’s “Esotericism of Christian Dogma”. Both are in Collected Writings Vol. 8 - see especially pages, 189, 224, 380-2 and 460-1. Among scholars she cited Gerald Mas- sey in support, but added (p. 380) “Our Masters affirm the Statement.” The anti-Semitic writer Nesta H. Webster “Secret Societies and Subversive Movements” (London, 1928), quoting this same article asks “Who were the Masters whose authority Madame Blavatsky here invokes? Clearly not the Trans-Himalayan Brotherhood to whom she habitually refers by this term, and who can certainly not be suspected of affirming the authenticity of the Toldoth Yeshu.

  • Man in Search of His Soul by Gerald Massey Man in Search of His Soul During Fifty Thousand Years, and How He Found It!
    Man In Search of His Soul by Gerald Massey Man In Search of His Soul During Fifty Thousand Years, and How He Found It! by Gerald Massey Published in the 1900's When Giorgione was challenged to paint a figure in a picture so that the spectator could see all round it, he overcame the difficulty by arranging a mirror at the back to reflect the other half of his subject! In like manner, we have to get all round our present subject with the aid of a reflector. This is to be discovered in some of the symbolic customs of the pre-historic races. The records of primitive and archaic men are only to be read in the things they did, and by aid of the signs they made, from before the time of written language and literature. The earliest human sensations, feelings, and thoughts, had to be expressed by actions long before they could be communicated in words. Gesture-language and Fetish images originated in this primitive mode of representation; and we have now to penetrate the significance of the actions, and interpret the types employed in a font indefinitely earlier than that of letters! The performers cannot tell us directly what they meant when so many mysterious things were done; they can only make signs to us on certain matters, and we have to translate their dumb show as best we can! Sir John Lubbock says the lower forms of religion are almost independent of prayer, but he does not take into account the fact that long before prayer could be uttered verbally, it was performed and acted by means of sign-language, which we have to read in ancient customs and primitive memorials of the fact.

  • The Constitution of the Individual and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt As Portrayed in the Secret Doctrine of H.P
    The veil of Egypt: the constitution of the individual and the afterlife in Ancient Egypt as portrayed in The Secret Doctrine of H.P. Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society by Dewald Bester submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In the subject Religious Studies at the University of South Africa Supervisor: Professor M Clasquin-Johnson November 2012 Student number: 0754-914-8 I declare that The veil of Egypt: the constitution of the individual and the afterlife in Ancient Egypt as portrayed in The Secret Doctrine of H.P. Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- SIGNATURE DATE Summary The Secret Doctrine is the magnum opus of H.P. Blavatsky and one of the foundation texts of the Theosophical Society. It represents her attempt to appropriate authority in a wide variety of fields, including, science, religion, and philosophy. This study examines H.P. Blavatsky’s engagement with Ancient Egypt in relation to two specific themes, the constitution of the individual and the afterlife, as they are portrayed in this work. It locates Theosophy in its historical context, the late nineteenth century, in relation to various fields of knowledge. It reviews the sources that H.P. Blavatsky drew on in her work and discusses the various interpretive techniques she employed to insert Theosophical content into various world religions. Finally, it contrasts the Theosophical presentation of Ancient Egypt in The Secret Doctrine with that of mainstream modern Egyptology.

The link and excerpts may be posted wherever you wish, provided the ebook is not altered in any way, shape or form. All links, attribution and copyright must be included in any reproduction of this ebook. www.StellarHousePublishing.com The Real ZEITGEIST Challenge by D.M. Murdock/Acharya S "And when we say also that the Word, who is the first-birth of God, was produced without sexual union, and that He, Jesus Christ, our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven, we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those whom you esteem sons of Jupiter." Early Church Father and Saint Justin Martyr (c. 150 AD/CE) The hit internet movie "ZEITGEIST," purportedly viewed over 100 million times worldwide in a variety of languages, has stirred up much controversy over the past three years since its release by filmmaker Peter Joseph. As a source for the religious segment—"Part 1"—of the original, official version of ZEITGEIST, I have been aware of the dramatic reactions from those who are religiously inclined, particularly towards Christianity, which ZG contends is a manmade contrivance based on Pagan and Jewish precedents. This part of ZG in particular draws the most fire, apparently because it is the most challenging to the faith. Instead of welcoming this short digest of religious history that has the potential of providing much needed release from erroneous and deleterious belief systems, a number of individuals have become so flummoxed, distraught and challenged by ZG's revelations that they have gone on the warpath and created a series of dubious "debunking" articles and videos, including a "Zeitgeist Challenge" of their own, full of flawed logic and false contentions that have been addressed long ago but that I have also rebutted continually over the past few years whenever claims of ZG "debunking" or "refutation" have cropped up.

  • Cults and Societies in Fin De Siècle Literature
    SUMMARY Summary of Thesis submitted for Ph.D. degree by Sarah Jane Berry on Seeking God by Strange Ways: Cults and Societies in fin de siècle literature The general consensus regarding the role of Christianity at the fin de siècle is that while it did not cease to exist, technological and scientific advances had eroded the faith of many educated Victorians. Here, the term “seeking” suggests a spiritual journey with the aim of attaining a true understanding of the universe, which in occult circles is called esoteric knowledge or “gnosis”. One of the purposes of this thesis is to demonstrate how “seeking God by strange ways” in fin de siècle literature is a spiritual rite of passage to locate God in man and involves “lifting the veil” between this world and the spiritual realm.

As liminality is characterized by transformation or a process of “becoming”, some liminal beings live outside their normal environment and raise questions concerning their self, the existing social order and “the new hedonism”.
