Godfrey HigginsDender Miniature Higgins BornGodfrey Higgins (1772-01-30) January 30, 1772Owston, YorkshireDied9 August 1833 (1833-08-09) (age 61) CambridgeNationalityNationalUKCupocationistage; MythographerGods are active1800-1833Notable workAnakalipsis; The Celtic Druids Godfrey Higgins (born 30 January 1772 in Owston, Yorkshire - 9 August 1833) was an English judge and landowner, a prominent advocate of social reform, historian and antiques dealer. He wrote about ancient myths. His book, Anacalypsis, was published posthumously, in which he claims commonalities among the various religious myths that he dates back to the supposed lost religion of Atlantis. He is called a political radical, reforming the district judge and a kind of historian of religions. Higgins' early life was the son of Godfrey Higgins, from Skellow Grange, near Doncaster. He was educated at Hemsworth before being accepted to Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1790, and moving to Trinity Hall in 1791. He later studied law in the Inner Temple, but was not licensed to practice law and abstained from practice. When Napoleon threatened to invade the United Kingdom, Higgins joined the Volunteer Corps and became captain of the Third West York Militia. In 1800 he married Jane Thorpe, who gave birth to a son, also named Godfrey, and two daughters, Jane and Charlotte. After Promoting Higgins as a major in 1808, he retired from the Volunteer Corps, citing severe fever as a reason. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed magistrate or peace judge in Yorkshire. Higgins' reform work as a magistrate included reformist campaigns in which he courageously exposed the scandalous treatment of beggars and campaigned for parliamentary reform, criticising excessive taxation, corn laws and the exploitation of children in factories. He also called for him not to lose the Irish Church. In 1814, he was instrumental in uncovering the abuse of patients at The Lunatic Shelter in York after rumours of serious misconduct surfaced. He joined quaker William Touquet in campaigning for reform. In a surprise visit, he forced staff to open the doors, which showed that the patients were being held in a number of secret cages in a state of filth, terrible beyond the description... the most miserable objects I have ever seen. Most of the staff were dismissed and Higgins was able to secure a government investigation into the asylum management he testified at. Higgins was appointed governor of the refuge. He launched an investigation into the suspicious fire, which destroyed many about asylum, and concluded that it hardly started by accident. Scriptures on He devised a scheme to explore the meaning of life and religion, and wrote: I came to a resolution to devote six hours a day to this aspiration for ten years. Instead of six hours a day for ten years, I find that I, on average, applied myself to it for nearly ten hours a day for nearly twenty years. In the first ten years of my search I can rightly say I have not found anything I was looking for; In the second half of the twenty, the amount of matter is so crowded on me that I barely know how to dispose of it. According to Ross Nichols, Higgins was also the chosen leader of the Druid Order, founded by John Toland in 1717. Higgins was declared a member of the Uileach Druidh Braithreaches (Order of druid), the ancient Druid order that preceded the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; however, these allegations are unfounded. Despite this, Higgins demonstrated extensive knowledge and familiarity with the traditions of the Druid Orders in his work, the Celtic Druids. Higgins' wife died on May 18, 1822. Higgins' own death, on 9 August 1833, was the result of a disease he suffered during a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Cambridge. The letters of Anakalipis Higgins, first published posthumously in 1836, were part of the syncretism of the time, which was an attempt to link biblical narratives with evidence emerging about other religious traditions. Higgins discussed and argued with other authors of this tradition, such as Jacob Bryant, Roger O'Connor and William Jones. Higgins's own writings, especially Anakalipsy,' were subsequently to have a major impact on the development of theosophy, through the publications of Elena Blavatsky. According to Ronald Hutton, Higgins' Anacalippis says that the megalyphic remains scattered around the world were works of a great nation, an unknown history that discovered religion and writing. This gave its system of spirituality and philosophy to the ancient Indians, Chaldeans, Jews, Egyptians and Druid, based on the veneration of the sun with the three-fold embodiment of the deity and the myth of the savior god who dies and then returns. Higgins identified this nation with the sunken land of Atlantis, which until now was considered a myth in itself. This device not only concerned the question of why there was no objective evidence of the ancestors of civilization, but actually turned Atlanta into a blank slate on which to distinguish the ideal religion, consisting of the favorite aspects of the writer from famous history. In Higgins' scheme, ancient knowledge was hopelessly corrupted by Christian churches, and now it must be reconstructed. These ideas lay dormant for about forty years, and then were accepted and popularity of one of the truly international figures of the century, Elena Petrovna Blavatskaya. Hutton describes Higgins as an occultist and mystic, while Nicholas Goodrick-Clark also calls him an occultist. However, Wauter Hanegraaf, who has written a detailed history of esotericism, says Higgins was not interested in occultism or esotericism. Higgins' main interests were the history of religious beliefs and practical sociology. The main work of Hore Sabbaticae, published in 1826, was the study of the Sabbath. Higgins recommended Saturday remain a holiday, not a gloomy post. The Celtic Druids, published in 1827 and 1829 as three parts, were conceived as the forerunner of Anacalypsa. The Celtic Druids were an attempt to show that the Druids were priests of the eastern colonies who emigrated from India, were the introduction of the First or Cadmean Writing System, as well as the builders of Stonehenge, Karnak and other cyclopean works in Asia and Europe. Higgins prefaced the second edition of 1829, stating that it was preparing an overview of all the ancient mythologies of the world, which, however diverse and corrupt in recent times, were originally one, and that one is based on the principles of the sublime, the beautiful and the true. This review will become Anacalypsis. Apologies for the life and character of the famous prophet of Arabia named Mohamed, or Glorious was published in 1829. Anacalypsis was written in 1833 and published posthumously in 1836 as two quarto volumes at 1,436 pages with careful references to hundreds of books. Anacalypsis was originally printed in a limited edition of 200 copies, partially reprinted in 1878 and reissued in a fully limited edition of 350 copies in 1927. Full name Anacalypsis; Trying to turn the veil towards Isis; or investigating the origin of languages, nations and religions. The book represents one-sixth of the examination of the history of religions; however, because of his death, Higgins was unable to complete the final chapter on Christianity. In it, he argues that the Druids and Jews originated in India, that Abraham is indeed Brahma, and that there is a secret pandeist global movement. The quotes in Anacalypsis Higgins argues the prevalence among various religious myths: One thing is clear-the-myths of Hindus, myths of Jews and myths of the Greeks are all at the bottom of the same; and what is called their early history is not the history of mankind, but is a contrivance in the appearance of stories to perpetuate the teachings. Higgins explicitly states that every ancient author, without exception, came to us through the means of Christian editors who are either from the out expelled or stupid, corrupt them all. In the same publication, Higgins makes some interesting statements, stating that all the Greek gods and goddesses of Greece were black, like Jupiter: Osiris and his Bull were black; all the gods and goddesses of Greece were black: at least so it was with Jupiter, Bacchus, Hercules, Apollo, Ammon.Goddess Venus, Isis, Hekati, Diana, Juno, Metis, Ceres, Sybil, Black. Multi-mammia is black in Campidoglio in Rome and in The Monfacon, explained the antiquity. Page 138 in Anakalipsi states that the Jews of Jacob or Israel were Ethiopians: There seems to be nothing improbable in the fact that these Ethiopians were a tribe of Jews, the tribe of Jacob or Israel. I think these Ethiopians came under Jacob, and settled in Goshen, and gave the names Maturea and Avaris to the city in which they lived . Page 399 in Anakalipci states that the Jews of Asia Minor were a tribe and a colony of black Buddhists from India: Solomon was the personification or embodiment of wisdom, and the Jews of Asia Minor were a tribe or colony from India, black Buddhists, around the same time with Judy to Syria, under the Brahmins. He also claims that all the heroes and saviors were black, too. All the heroes of Celus, Bacchus, Asculapius, OK, were saviors and black saviors too. These black icons were made when the man himself was black. He made his God after himself, and then said that man was created in the image of God.

    [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.

  • Green Book of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On
    Green Book Of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On Druidism 2003 Introduction Originally this was going to be the bulk of ARDA 2’s Part Seven Miscellany, but due to some copyright concerns and the general wholeness of the subject matter, it seem that a Green Book was possible out of the material. Much of material of Section Two is from ARDA 1’s Part Eight, and much from ARDA 1’s Part Seven is now here in Section Three and Four. This section will naturally expand over the years, so it’s a good idea to separate it from the main body text of ARDA 2. I don’t wish you to misinterpret this book as if for me to say that you have to be fascinated and obsessed with Celtic research to understand Druidism. That’s not what I mean. Yes, I’ve studied the old ones, but I think there is more than can be learned form living plants and animals and each other than from the few remaining scraps. However, it’s still good and interesting to know, even if not practiced. I hope you enjoy it, and have fruitful research. Yours in the Mother, Mike Scharding March 20, 2003 Embassy of Japan, D.C.

  • THE KUSHITE ORIGINS of SU~Ier and ELAM by Runoko Rashidi Ancient Sumer, the Biblical Land of Shinar, Modern Lower Mesopotamia, F
    THE KUSHITE ORIGINS OF SU~iER AND ELAM By Runoko Rashidi And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel ••. in the land of Shinar. 1 Ancient Sumer, the biblical land of Shinar, modern lower Mesopotamia, flourished in the third millenium B.C. covering the territorial expanse of the Tigris/Euphrates River Valley. Embracing the shores of the Persian Gulf, Sumer extended north to Akkad, a distance of about 320 miles, thus constituting Southern Babylonia. The appellation Chaldea, frequently applied to the region, appears to have been introduced by the Assyrians in the ninth century B.c.2 The designations Babylon, Babylonia and Chaldea have been used extensively, particularly by nine­ teenth century scholars, in reference to the area now almost exclusively known as Sumer. Sumer appears to be the first major high-culture of western Asia. She bequeathed to her successor states a tradi­ tion of great achievement. Her many contributions to civili­ zation are well known. Brilliant agriculturalists, the Sumerians built very sophisticated canals and reservoirs to irrigate their fields. They possessed both an advanced legal system and a well developed knowledge of medicine and were perhaps the ancient world's greatest astronomers.3 While these salient facts regarding Sumer's obvious cultural genius are well known, the important question of the racial composition of its population is generally glossed over. This apparent cloud concerning race, however, is very thin and there is a substantial body of evidence in support of the position that the civilization of Sumer was the product of Black migrations from Africa's Nile Valley.

  • Imagining Macrohistory? Madame Blavatsky from Isis Unveiled (1877) to the Secret Doctrine (1888) Garry W
    Imagining Macrohistory? Madame Blavatsky from Isis Unveiled (1877) to The Secret Doctrine (1888) Garry W. Trompf In Memoriam: Alfred John Cooper1 Introduction The term „macrohistory‟ denotes the envisaging and representation of the human past as a vast panorama, great movements of human activity held „in the mind‟s eye‟ or in a unitary vision. When such broad encompassments also incorporate the pre-human past and even the possible future of everything, then one may refer to cosmological macrohistory (or „cosmo-history‟), or, if the atmosphere of a mythos is strong, to a mythological macrohistory. Many will suspect that mental acts of encapsulation entailed in „doing macrohistory‟ are inevitably unreliable and methodologically inadmissible because the myriad facts to be embraced, both known and unknown, could never be accounted for in any one synoptic view. Certainly the macrohistorical visionary will have to resort to a picturing or imaging through some kind of model, paradigm or diagrammatic procedure, and in almost all cases, a species of meta-history (of a conceptual „framing‟ superimposed on data) will result. In the Judaeo- Christian-Islamic-Marxist trajectory of thought, four primary „idea-frames‟ of macrohistory have stood out. These are, first, progress, or the idea that past events show an overall improvement of things; second and contrarily, regress, the outlook that affairs have steadily worsened; third, recurrence, the apprehension that everything is basically repetitive (if not cyclical); and lastly, the view that nothing can be fully understood without a sense of an utterly final consummation, an eschaton (end) or apokatastasis (restoration of all things) or millennial „showdown‟, as against some limited telos.

I 5rBD hardly say that in the following pages I have not attempted a scientific memoir. My object has been to supply that part of my husband's life the material for which would not be within the reach of another biographer. The selection from his letters might have been much larger, if I could in all cases have inserted those of his correspondents. Without these many would have been incomprehensible. As it is, I may have over-estimated the attention which readers will be disposed to give to them. My rule in choosing the letters has been to take those which are moat characteristic of the writer, and in this way to give to readers already acquainted with him through his writings a more familiar knowledge of hiin as a man. His connection with University College, and the events which led to his leaviug it, are necessarily made promi nent. So long a time has elapsed since their occurrence, and I have known so little during that time of the Institu tion, that I cannot even surmise how the present Council would in like circumstances share the convictions or con- 6rm the action of its predecessors.
