The Secret Doctrine, Volume II. Anthropogenesis
Author: H. P. Blavatsky
Publisher: Phoemixx Classics Ebooks
ISBN: 3986775978
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 2812
Book Description
The Secret Doctrine, Volume II. Anthropogenesis H. P. Blavatsky - The Secret Doctrine is the seminal work of the Theosophical Movement and established Blavatsky as one of the most vocal and outspoken advocate of the Wisdom Teachings of the East. Almost every contemporary spiritual movement can trace its lineage back to the impulses expressed most consumately in this, Blavatsky's Magnum Opus. Based upon a disclosure and exposition of the hitherto unknown - and academically, quite controversial - "Stanzas of Dzyan," The Secret Doctrine elaborates on the teachings first brought to the world through the "Masters" Koot Humi and Morya and introduced in A. P. Sinnett's "Esoteric Buddhism," to which Blavatsky continuously refers and clarifies. In the two volumes (the first being Cosmogenesis) she portrays a sweeping vision of the evolution of humanity and the cosmos out of the spirit, unfolding in "rounds" and cycles of descent and reascent from and to the spirit, through cycles of reincarnation. This ebook edition has been meticulously prepared, with over 1000 footnotes linked from within the text. This complex and challenging work is presented in a highly readable format that invites a fresh approach to the text. Volume I, Cosmogenesis

Pages : 306
Book Description
From its earliest days, America served as an arena for the revolutions in alternative spirituality that eventually swept the globe. Esoteric philosophies and personas—from Freemasonry to Spiritualism, from Madame H. P. Blavatsky to Edgar Cayce—dramatically altered the nation’s culture, politics, and religion. Yet the mystical roots of our identity are often ignored or overlooked. Opening a new window on the past, Occult America presents a dramatic, pioneering study of the esoteric undercurrents of our history and their profound impact across modern life.

The Letters of H.P. Blavatsky to the American Section of the Theosophical Society
Author: Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
Publisher: Philaletheians UK
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Theosophy is a system of divine philosophy offering to eclectic thinkers rational explanations of occult phenomena, without bamboozling them with hollow tenets, sophistry, and dogmas. It is the Beacon-light of Hope guiding Humanity on her true path. Its noble aim is to unite men of all nations in brotherly love and acts of charity beyond kith and kin, to all that lives and feels, and needs help and kindness. Theosophy seeks to refine human nature at the voluntary sacrifice of the superfluous animality and private wealth, fostered by modern life and materialistic education, which is abnormal for the human race at this evolutionary stage. Theosophists are friends of all World Movements, whether intellectual or practical, striving for the amelioration of Humanity. Their mission is to open man’s heart and mind to charity, justice, and generosity — attributes which belong specifically to the human kingdom and are natural to man, once he has developed the qualities of a human being worthy of the name. Theosophy teaches and prompts the animal-man to be human, by living for others; and when men have learnt to think and feel, as all truly human beings should feel and think, they will act humanely; and works of charity to visible and invisible beings will be done spontaneously by all to All — by virtue of the immaculate nature inherent in All. On the day, when Theosophy will have accomplished its most holy pledge — namely, to unite firmly men of all nations in brotherly love bent on pure altruistic work, not on labour spurred by selfish motives — on that day only, will Theosophy become an ever-Living Power on earth, far higher than any nominal “brotherhood of man.” Great results can be achieved by those who, forgoing their own comfort, work unselfishly for the ideal of Universal Brotherhood by helping their fellow pilgrims to carry the burden of life. Such a joyful and soul-ennobling responsibility will be fruitful of good to the Society, to yourselves, and to Humanity at large. While preparations for the new cycle continue, and the forerunners of the new subrace appear on the American Continent, the latent occult powers in man have already begun germinating and growing. The Ethics of Theosophy are far higher and more precious than any divulgement of psychic laws; the latter relate wholly to the material and evanescent part of the septenary man. Only self-abnegation and the goodness of earthly love can purify and prepare for the realisation of the Divine Love. Teach, practice, and proclaim the twin doctrines of Karma and Reincarnation, for it is that system of life and principles, which alone can save the coming races. Do not work merely for The Theosophical Society, but through it for the benefit of the Great Orphan, the only disinherited one upon this earth crying aloud in the darkness for guidance and light. Had it not been for W.Q. Judge, Theosophy would not be where it is today in the United States. It is he who has built up the Movement among you, and he who has proved in a thousand ways his loyalty and steadfast devotion to the Cause of the Masters — which is Compassion, i.e., the Causeless Cause of the Spirit of Truth.

Book Description
From the introductory. HELENA PETROVNA BLAVATSKY, the Foundress of the present Theosophical Movement, is called the 'lion-hearted' by her followers, and I can conceive of no better name for her, because in every act of her life there was a superb courage - a courage of a quality which we rarely hear of except when, under peculiar circumstances, a man is aroused to his highest motive and most superb effort by some stirring emergency. I mean spiritual courage, of a quality which marks one who has realized that he is essentially divine, which endows him with a measure of knowledge that can come to him only through his inner nature, which at that moment makes him conscious that he is something more than he seems, part of the universal scheme of life, and in harmony with the wonderful forces of nature. In spite of his having made mistakes, in spite of having faltered, of having done injustice to others, once he realizes that he, and every man, inherits the power to be his own savior and can make his life an expression of divine law, - that very fact will bring to him a superb courage such as Madame Blavatsky possessed in so marked a degree and which she carried through her whole life. *As Foundress of the original Theosophical Society she brought again to the world the teachings of Theosophy, the principles of which are as old as the ages, but which, although so old - having been lost sight of for so many years- appeared as new, as something very optimistic, something very inspiring, for all the world's children to receive. *The great purpose of the Theosophical Society, as originated by Madame Blavatsky, is to teach Brotherhood. She brought from the storehouse of the past the great teachings of the Wisdom-Religion, Theosophy, and they have been preserved by those members who stood faithfully by her and her successors, and who have sustained the original Theosophical Society, which is now called the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society. *She knew her mission for Humanity. Nothing could throw her aside, no one could discourage her - the more she was persecuted, the more she worked, and the same is true of William Q. Judge, her successor - with the result that this Society is today established on a basis of honor and dignity and integrity that is unassailable, with its World-Center and International Headquarters at Point Loma, California. *At the time she came to the Western World a great wave of materialism was sweeping over this country and over all Europe. It was a marked time. The minds of men were turning away from the possibility of the higher spiritual thought; they had become weary of creeds and dogmas; they had found so much professed in the name of religion and so little practised in daily life that in their despair they had fallen back upon the power of mere reason as an anchorage, ignoring and in many instances attacking and seeking to tear down and to deny the divine principles of life and nature.
