Book Description
The trinity of man is the master key to the wonders of nature. The sorcerer is society’s deadliest enemy. All those who have a voice in the education of the masses should first know, and then teach, that the safest guides to human happiness and enlightenment are those writings on genuine science and theology that descended to us from the remotest antiquity. The world needs neither churches nor temples. The real Temple of God is within every man, walled-in by the impenetrable jungle of matter. Only the pure in heart see God and obey the behests of the Spirit of Truth. The trinity of nature is the lock of magic, and the trinity of man is the master key to the wonders of nature. But the spirit must hold in complete subjection the combativeness of educated reason, until cold sophistry is vanquished beyond the skewed reality. Magic cannot be mastered by the white-skinned people for they are unfit physically, morally, and psychologically. Inflamed by dogmatic superstition, and the self-aggrandising sense of cultural superiority and national destiny over those whom the Anglo-Saxons term so contemptuously niggers, the white European would hardly submit himself to the practical tuition of Copt, Brahman, or Lama. Book learning of magic formulæ, unlit by spiritual intuition and bereft of higher mental faculties, is not only utterly useless but also fraught with unspeakable dangers for those who dabble in occult practices while their animal passions are rampant. Spiritualism is neither science, nor religion, nor philosophy. Is the boa constrictor of error resulting in spiritual ruin. Ignoring the teachings of the past, modern spiritualists have discovered no substitute. A thousand mortifying rebuffs have failed to open up their higher faculties above reason and sense. Bewildered by the contradictions they encounter, they keep waiting for their tentative hypotheses to be verified by further experience. Modern spiritualists are unconscious necromancers. They are disinclined to admit the axiomatic truths of Ancient Spiritualism (i.e. Eastern Occult Sciences), now so derided by crass materialism. They start with the fallacy that all phenomena are caused by the action of departed human spirits; they have not looked into the powers of the Protean power of spirit; and they do not know the extent to which spirit acts, how far it reaches, what it underlies. Christian theology is subversive of, rather than promotive of, spirituality and morality. Instead of expounding the rules of divine law and justice, it teaches but itself. Modern science, powerless to satisfy the aspirations of the race, makes the future shallow and meaningless and, by feeding on the putrescence of matter, it bereaves man of hope. Every religious faith is an offshoot from One Tree, the Archaic Wisdom-Religion. Combined, their aggregate represents One Eternal Truth; separate, they are but shades of human error and signs of imperfection. The world’s religions sprung from pre-Vedic Brahmanism and Buddhism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islamism, were inspired by Paganism, i.e., Ancient Wisdom, replete with Deity.

Theosophy is Religion itself and sublime code of Ethics

Publisher: Philaletheians UK
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
The “Original Programme” of the Theosophical Society, prefaced by introductory notes, historical letters and documents by Boris de Zirkoff, Compiler and Editor of H.P. Madame Blavatsky Collected Writings. There is no religion higher than Truth. Moreover there is, and can be, but one absolute Truth in Kosmos. The majority of the public Areopagus is generally composed of self-appointed judges, who have never made a permanent deity of any idol save their own personalities, their lower selves. And he, who believes his own religion on faith, will regard that of every other man as a lie, and hate it on that same faith. Theosophy is not a religion. It is Religion itself, a Divine Science embracing every science in life, moral and physical, and a sublime code of Ethics. Theosophy is Religion and the Theosophical Society the Universal Church of Morality. The Theosophical Movement is the great moral but silent force. Human life, devoid of all its world-ideals and beliefs, becomes deprived of its higher sense and meaning. But the world-ideals can never completely die out. Exiled by the fathers, they will be received with open arms by the children. The Theosophical Movement was reborn in 1875 and so the cyclic evolution of theosophical ideals continues.

Presidential authoritarianism is an affront to Brotherhood
Author: Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott
Publisher: Philaletheians UK
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
Inflamed by the abnormal fancies and uncanny dreams of an acting Editor of “The Theosophist.” The Esoteric Section of The Theosophical Society is wholly apart from the latter, and owes no allegiance to it. Madame Blavatsky alone is responsible for its members. Let the Theosophical Society break away from the original lines, and show disloyalty in its policy to the Cause and the Original Programme, and Madame Blavatsky will shake it off like dust from her feet. There is no such a thing as “Parent Society”; it has been abolished and replaced by an aggregate body of Theosophical Societies, all autonomous as the States of America are, and all under one Head-President who, together with Madame Blavatsky, champions the Cause against the whole world. Madame Blavatsky does not owe the slightest allegiance to a Council which is liable at any moment to issue silly and untheosophical commands. No more than Madame Blavatsky has Col. Olcott the right of exercising autocracy or papal powers, for both Founders of the Theosophical Society have sworn allegiance to the Fellows, whom they vowed to protect, and teach those who want to be taught; they are not to tyrannize and rule over them. “The sun of truth fears no light and needs no lies.” In his zeal hunting the mare’s nest, the esteemed acting Editor of “The Theosophist” has become more Catholic than the Pope himself. Let the General Council expel Madame Blavatsky for “disloyalty,” if Col. Olcott should be so blind as to fail to see where the loyal friend and his duty lie. Enough of theosophical dogmatism and intolerance! If you want to know yourself ask your enemies, not your friends, and you will find more truth, and profit more by their opinion than by that of those who love you. Plus, an explanation important to all Theosophists introduced by Boris de Zirkoff, a Statement by Madame Blavatsky, and a Joint Note by Col. Olcott and Madame Blavatsky.

When pure love is perverted humanity quivers

Publisher: Philaletheians UK
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
Oh, the unspeakable hypocrisy of our age! The age when everything under the Sun and Moon is for sale and bought! Though centuries lapse and decades of ages drop out of the lap of time, great reforms take place, empires rise and fall and rise again, and even whole races disappear before the triumphant march of civilization, in his terrific selfishness the “man” that was is the “man” that is. In their internal, or rather, essential constitution, both nature and man are at one, as their essence is identical. All grows and develops and strives towards perfection on the former planes of externality or, as well said by a philosopher, is “ever becoming”; but on the ultimate plane of the spiritual essence all is, and remains therefore immutable. It is towards this eternal Esse that everything, as every being, is gravitating gradually, almost imperceptibly, but as surely as the Universe of stars and worlds moves towards a mysterious point known to, yet still unnamed by, astronomy and called by the Occultists — the Central Spiritual Sun. Yet there are still men who, notwithstanding the present chaotic condition of the moral world and the sorry débris of the best human ideals, still persist in believing and teaching that the now ideal human perfection is no dream, but a law of divine nature; and that, had mankind to wait even millions of years, still it must someday reach it and rebecome a race of gods. For the loving essence cannot be extinguished but only perverted. Without this saving redemptive power, embodied in Satan, he simply appears as the nonsensical failure of omnipotent and omniscient imbecility which the opponents of theological Christianity sneeringly and very justly make him; with it, he becomes a thinkable Entity, the Asuras of the Puranic myths, the first breaths of Brahm?, who, after fighting the gods and defeating them, are finally themselves defeated and then hurled on to the earth where they incarnate in Humanity. Thus Satanic Humanity becomes comprehensible. After moving around his cycle of obstacles Satan may, with accumulated experiences, after all the throes of Humanity, emerge again into the light. The All-denying protestors, Atheists, Nihilists, and Anarchists men of Terror, they are just Satan himself; for he is the ideal synthesis of all discordant forces and each separate human vice or passion is but an atom of his totality. In the very depths of the heart of this Human Satanic totality burns the divine spark, all negations notwithstanding. It is called Love for Humanity, an ardent aspiration for a universal reign of Justice — hence a latent desire for light, harmony and goodness. Where do we find such a divine spark among the proud and the wealthy?

Pages : 13
Book Description
Eastern Psychology has given the West a clue to certain mysteries previously baffling as, for example, in the departments of: 1. Mesmerism and hypnotism. 2. The supposed posthumous relations of the disincarnate entity with the living. 3. The nature and relations of Force and Matter capable of practical verification by whomsoever may learn and follow out the experimental methods of the Oriental Schools of Occult science. Eastern Occult Science and its complementary philosophy throws light upon some of the deepest problems of man and nature. But Occultism is colourless, cosmopolitan, unsectarian, sexless, unworldly, altruistic.
