The first chapter of Genesis has nothing to do with the creation of man

Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
Genesis is a purely symbolic and kabbalistic volume. It can neither be understood nor appreciated, if judged by the mistranslations and misinterpretations of its Christian remodellers. The Sevenfold Primordial Evolution of the Puranas appear in the Bible as “Six Days of Creation,” and a seventh “day” of rest! None of these “creations” has ever occurred on this globe, wherever else they may have taken place. Esoterically speaking, Crocodile or Capricornus is Makaram, the Sanskrit name of the tenth sign. The shape of a crocodile or crab is the outcome of the stargazer's fertile imagination, and nothing more. Adam is the symbol of the first terrestrial man, or humanity at large. The man of clay was the first living being to appear on earth, the animal kingdom coming after him. And, as the Egyptian ram-headed god makes man on the potter’s wheel, so in Genesis do the Elohim fashion him out of the same material. The Adept can select any of the countless archetypal forms concealed in Divine Thought (Ideal World) and, by the power of his will, gather into its boundaries the matter required to make it visible to our sensible world — a miracle to the Christian, a fraud for the materialist. It is sound that produces colour, not the other way around. Our earth is densely populated by countless “viewless races,” the elemental evolutionary forces of nature below the mineral kingdom. The elemental cannot understand the thought of a person; it can only be reached when the exact scale of being, to which the elemental belongs, is vibrated by sound, colour, or form. By correlating the vibrations of sound, colour, form, number, and substance, the Adept rules over and commands the elemental forces that underlie the phenomena of nature. The evolution of the spiritual falling into the physical (from mineral, plant, and animal, up to man) takes place only during the First Round. At the middle of the Fourth Round, when the downward evolution turns upward (from physical to spiritual) man appears before anything else on earth. The vegetation that covered the earth in those days of hoary antiquity, belonging to the Third Round, was ethereal (transparent), and so was the first man (humanity), because he was a shadow (image) of his progenitors. The matter composing the objects we see and touch, continually returns to its pre-primordial condition of purity and light, which no mortal eye can see or bear its radiance.

Book Description
Our century is a boastful age, as proud as it is hypocritical; as cruel as it is dissembling. Happy the optimist in whose heart the nightingale of hope can still sing, with all the iniquity and cold selfishness of the present age before his eyes! There are more hypocrites in a square yard of our “civilized soil” than antiquity has bred of them on all its idolatrous lands. It takes a brave man to speak the truth fearlessly, and even that at personal risk and cost. For the law forbids one speaking the truth, except under compulsion, in its courts and under threat of perjury. Instead of truth and sincerity, we have cold politeness and falsification on every plane; falsification of moral food, and the same falsification of eatable food. Be religious or irreligious as much as you like but do not be offensive, and dare not outrage and pain other people. In law, that which is sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander. Thou shalt not revile the gods. Blasphemy with the modern criminal sense attached to it, existed with the Greeks, the Romans, and with the older Egyptians, ages before our era. Reverence is now replaced by emotionalism and holy mediocrities. The emanations of modern civilization kill all goodness and truth. When the “inferior races” have all been wiped out by the “civilized man,” what shall replace them in the cycle that is to mirror our own? True charity opens her purse strings with an invisible hand and, finishing its act, exists no more; it shuns fame and is never ostentatious. Pride is the first enemy to itself: unwilling to hear anyone praised in its presence, it falls foul of every rival and does not always come out victorious. The most beautiful serpents are the most venomous. As the external excellence of a thing does not reflect the moral beauty of its workman, so some of the most eminent poets and philosophers were historically immoral. We will not be moved by either hysterical emotion or a holy fear of the masses and propriety. Whether the new cycle will bring new horrors or herald days of pure sunlight and happiness for all, will depend on those who fight the battle of Truth against the powers of Darkness. Theosophy is brotherly love, mutual help, altruism in action, and unswerving devotion to Truth. Once men realize that in these alone can true happiness be found, and never in wealth, possessions, or any selfish gratification, then the dark clouds will roll away, and a new humanity will be born upon earth. Then, the Golden Age will be there.

Pages : 8
Book Description
Genesis is a purely symbolical and kabbalistic volume. It can neither be understood nor appreciated, if judged on the mistranslations and misinterpretations of its Christian remodellers. The Elohistic portion of Genesis is charged with the great zoological blunder of placing the evolution of the birds before the reptiles. Man was the first living being to appear on earth, all the animal world coming after him. By correlating colour, sound, form, number, and substance, the trained will of the Initiate rules and uses the denizens of the elemental world. The first wave of Humanity was fashioned not from earth, but from invisible Essence. So Man was born according to the image and likeness of his progenitors, resembling but not of the same Essence with Gods — a shadow of them, so to speak. And that is why in India Gods are said to have no shadows. The objective phenomenal world is ever impermanent because the matter of which the objects are composed continually returns to its primordial condition, where it remains invisible to mortal eyes.
A blue ray of light quickened the mind of animal man

Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
A blue ray of light incarnated in the “Two Virgins Dolma,” the dual mind of man. The Mind was to instruct the mind: “self-analysing reflection” has to be the way. Real life is a conscious existence in spirit, not in matter. And true life is consciousness’ flight of the alone to the Alone. Madame Blavatsky explains the meaning of our highest Duty, of Genesis and true Anthropogenesis. Biblical Adam stands for the primitive, mindless, human race — androgynous at first, differentiated later. Adam’s “deep sleep” was the dreamless sleep of mental inaction. Humanity is Divine Consciousness on Earth. Divinity is the power of fate, and the necessity of future events. We all influence each other, regardless of our station and size. Therefore, our prime duty is boundless devotion to the welfare of others. With selections from Cicero, Damascius, Plotinus, J .Ralston Skinner, I.K. Taimni, and Thomas Taylor.
