  • The Founding of the Theosophical Society
    The Founding of the Theosophical Society by Walter A. Carrithers, Jr. [First published as the "Epilogue" to the 1975 abridged reprint of H.S. Olcott's 1875 Inaugural Address. This article was originally published under Mr. Carrither's pseudonym Adlai E. Waterman ] Writing in 1877, Madame H. P. Blavatsky first publicly disclosed something of her personal acquaintance with those Eastern Adept-Teachers, Brothers of the White Lodge, who since have become better known as the Mahatmas or Masters of Wisdom. In Isis Unveiled, her first book, she declared that the “practical blending of the visible with the invisible world” had found a “refuge” in “the chief lamaseries of Mongolia and Thibet,” and that there “the primitive science of magic” was “practiced to the utmost limits of intercourse allowed between man and ‘spirit.’ ” She urged the “pretended authorities of the West” to “go to the Brahmans and Lamaists of the far Orient, and respectfully ask them to impart the alphabet of true science.” This, she affirmed on the second page of her book, she herself had done: “It was while most anxious to solve these perplexing problems that we came into contact with certain men, endowed with such mysterious powers and such profound knowledge that we may truly designate them as the sages of the Orient. To their instructions we lent a ready ear.” It was five years later, in 1882, that one of these Great Sages, the Rajput Adept, Mahatma Morya, acknowledged responsibility for the initiative behind the confluence of circumstances that had made possible the founding of The Theosophical Society.

  • The Early Days of Theosophy in Europe by A.P
    The Early Days of Theosophy in Europe by A.P. Sinnett The Early Days of Theosphy in Europe by A.P. Sinnett Theosophical Publishing House Ltd, London, 1922 NOTE [Page 5] Mr. Sinnett's literary Executor in arranging for the publication this volume is prompted to add a few words of explanation. There is naturally some diffidence experienced in placing before the public a posthumous MSS of personal reminiscences dealing in various instances with people still living. It would, however, be impossible to use the editorial blue pencil without destroying the historical value of the MSS. Mr. Sinnett's position and associations with the Theosophical Society together with his standing as an author in the Theosophical movement alike demand that his last writing should be published, and it is left to each reader to form his own judgment as to the value of the book in the light of his own study of the questions involved. Page 1 The Early Days of Theosophy in Europe by A.P. Sinnett CHAPTER - 1 - NO record could truly be called a History of the Theosophical Society if it concerned itself merely with events taking shape on the physical plane of life. From the first such events have been the result of activities on a higher plane; of steps taken by the unseen Powers presiding over human evolution, whose existence was unknown in the outer world when their great undertaking — the Theosophical Movement — was originally set on foot. To those known in the outer world as the Founders of the Theosophical Society — Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott — the existence of these higher powers, The Brothers as they were called at first, was more or less imperfectly comprehended.

  • Be Ye Perfect
    BE YE PERFECT by Geoffrey Hodson CONTENTS Preface Part I FROM THE UNREAL TO THE REAL Chapter 1- The Babe Chapter 2- From Birth to Ten Years Old Chapter 3- The Principles of Education Chapter 4- From Ten to Twenty Years Chapter 5- From Twenty to Forty Years Chapter 6- From Forty to Eighty Years Part II THE THREE PATHS Chapter 7- The Way of Will Chapter 8- The Way of Knowledge Chapter 9- The Way of Love PREFACE THIS book is the second of the series containing the teachings received from the angel who inspired the volume entitled The Brotherhood of Angels and of Men. Though some may dismiss these present teachings as being entirely impracticable, I nevertheless offer them for consideration because I believe that they contain much that is of value and significance at the present time, when the changing race-consciousness is finding old methods of education inadequate, and new ones are everywhere sought. The errors and deficiencies of the book are due to my lack of competence to receive the angel's teaching in all its clarity and beauty; my hope is that gleams of the light of his wisdom may find their way through the darkness of my limitations and may serve to illumine the minds that are open to receive them; and particularly those responsible for the upbringing of the children of the new age. Only broad outlines are sketched in this volume, offered now at the dawn of a new day in the evolution of race-consciousness; more detailed teaching may be expected as the sun climbs towards his zenith, for then human and angel consciousness will be united to form one splendid channel for the power, the wisdom, and the knowledge of That which is their common source.

  • The Inner Side of Church Worship by Father Geoffrey Hodson
    The Inner Side Of Church Worship by Father Geoffrey Hodson FOREWORD by Archbishop Frank W. Pigott CATHOLIC Christians claim that the Church, with its threefold ministry tracing spiritual descent by the laying on of hands from the earliest Apostles of Our Lord, its seven sacraments or means of grace and its elaborate ceremonial, is a Divine Society; that is to say, it is a body corporate which is ensouled by the life of the Lord Himself; or, changing the metaphor without in any way changing the sense, it is an apparatus, a piece of intricate mechanism, by means of which grace or spiritual benediction is brought from on high and distributed far and wide on the Lord's people here in this world 'in the body pent '. It is a high claim to make and, indeed, an unique claim; there does not seem to be any other society or organization in the world which makes quite such a claim as that. Yet the Catholic Church makes that claim unflinchingly and has been making it for something like two thousand years. It is worth while examining the basis of such a claim. What are the grounds on which Catholic Christians for so long a time have dared to claim that their Church is a Divine Society, and still make the claim? Briefly they are three. First, there is tradition. Since the very beginning the belief that the Lord gives Himself to His people in His church by the operation of the Holy Spirit has been held by Catholic Christians and handed on from generation to generation.
