Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Some Theosophical Terms In compiling a work of this nature perhaps the most difficult, and certainly the most invidious, part of the task is the selection of the terms: - which shall be included? - which excluded? - and anyone who may do me the honour to look into this endeavour of mine, and appraise it as a whole, will doubtless find very much that exception may be taken to on this head. I shall be asked, "How is it that we find a heading for the Advaita Philosophy, but Judaism or Islamism is not so much as mentioned? How is it that the Gods Varuna, Shiva, and Vishnu are to be found in the Dictionary, whereas we search in vain for Mars, Venus, or Neptune?" I shall be told that there has been no governing principle in the selection of the terms treated; that the book is haphazard in construction, and lacking in system and logic. And to this indictment I confess at once I have no direct answer. I escape, if I am to escape at all, by the method of disappearance from the plane where my logical critic lives and moves about so formidably. For, in truth, the principle by which I have been mainly guided in this matter of selection is not that of logic, but simply what I conceive to be the needs of those who are likely to consult a work of this kind. Nearly all the terms herein contained are such as are used by the writers of our modern theosophical literature. Had I made any attempt to complete the different categories to which these terms belong, my modest production must have swelled prodigiously, becoming a Dictionary of Mythology, Philosophy, Comparative Religions, Occultism, and I know not what, save that it would have been far beyond my capacity to bring forth. Consistency, then, in the selection of the words to be treated of, has been by no means so much my aim as conformity to the good old utilitarian maxim, "The greatest good of the greatest number."

Download or read book The Theosophical Glossary written by H. Blavatsky and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-07 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY labours under the disadvantage of being an almost entirely posthumous work, of which the author only saw the first thirty-two pages in proof. This is all the more regrettable, for H.P.B., as was her wont, was adding considerably to her original copy, and would no doubt have increased the volume far beyond its present limits, and so have thrown light on many obscure terms that are not included in the present Glossary, and more important still, have furnished us with a sketch of the lives and teachings of the most famous Adepts of the East and West. The Theosophical Glossary purposes to give information on the principal Sanskrit, Pahlavi, Tibetan, Pâli, Chaldean, Persian, Scandinavian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Kabalistic and Gnostic words, and Occult terms generally used in Theosophical literature, and principally to be found in Isis Unveiled, Esoteric Buddhism, The Secret Doctrine, The Key to Theosophy, etc.; and in the monthly magazines, The Theosophist, Lucifer and The Path, etc., and other publications of the Theosophical Society. The articles marked [w.w.w.] which explain words found in the Kabalah, or which illustrate Rosicrucian or Hermetic doctrines, were contributed at the special request of H.P.B. by Bro. W. W. Westcott, M.B., P.M. and P.Z., who is the Secretary General of the Rosicrucian Society, and Præmonstrator of the Kabalah to the Hermetic Order of the G.D. H.P.B. desired also to express her special indebtedness, as far as the tabulation of facts is concerned, to the Sanskrit-Chinese Dictionary of Eitel, The Hindu Classical Dictionary of Dowson, The Vishnu Purâna of Wilson, and the Royal Masonic Cyclopædia of Kenneth Mackenzie. As the undersigned can make no pretension to the elaborate and extraordinary scholarship requisite for the editing of the multifarious and polyglot contents of H.P.B.'s last contribution to Theosophical literature, there must necessarily be mistakes of transliteration, etc., which specialists in scholarship will at once detect. Meanwhile, however, as nearly every Orientalist has his own system, varying transliterations may be excused in the present work, and not be set down entirely to the "Karma" of the editor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theosophical Glossary The first letter in all the world-alphabets save a few. sueh for instance as the Monfolian, the Japanese, the Tibetan, the p:tliiopian. etc. It is a letter of great mystic power and magic virtue with those wlio have adopted it, and with whom its numerical value is one. It is the Aleph of the Hebrews, symbolized by the Ox or Bull; the Alpha of the Greeks, the one and tiie first; the Az of the Slavonians, signifying the pronoun I (referring to tlie I am that I am). Even in Astrology. Taurus (the Ox or Bull or tiie Ahph) is the first of the Zodiacal signs, its color being white and yellow. The saered Ah ph accpiires a still more marked sanctity with the Ciiristian Kabbali.sts when they learn that this letter typifies the Trinity in Unity, as it is composed of two Yods, one upright, the other reversed with a slanting bar or nexus, thus x.Kenneth R.Ii. Mackenzie states that the St. Andrew cross is occultly connected therewith. The divine name, the first in the series corresponding with Ahph, is Aellelell or Ahih, when vowelless, and this is a Sanskrit root. Aahla (Eg.). One of the divisions of the Kni(t(r (.rinfernal regions, or Anu nti; the word means the Field of Peace. Aanroo (Eij.). Tlie second division of Anienti. The eelestial field of Aanroo is encircled by an iron wall. The field is covered with wheat, and the Defunct are represented gleaning it, for the Ma.ster of Eternity; some stalks being three, others five, and the highest seven cubits high. Those who reached the last two numbers entered tlie state of bliss (which is called in Theosophy Devaclian) ;the disembodied spirits whose harvest was but three cubits iiigh went into lower regions Kamaloka). Wheat was with the Egyi)tians the symbol of the Law of Uctribution or Karma. The cubits had referenee to the seven, five and three iuinian principles. Aaron (Ihb.).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theological Dictionary, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing Definitions of All Religious Terms Labadists were so called from their founder John Labadie, a native of France, He was originally in the Romish communion; but leaving that, he became a member of the reformed church, and performed with reputation the ministerial function in France, Switzerland, and Holland. He at length erected a new community, which resided successively at Middleburg, in Zealand, Amsterdam, Hervorden, and at Altona, where he died about 1674. After his death, his followers removed their wandering community to Wiewert, in the district of North Holland, where it soon fell into oblivion. If we are to judge of the Labadists by their own account, they did not differ from the reformed church so much in their tenets and doctrines as in their manners and rules of discipline; yet it seems that Labadie had some strange notions. Among other things, he maintained that God might and did, on certain occasions, deceive men; that the faithful ought to have all things in Lam common; that there is no subordination or distinction of rank in the true church; that in reading the scriptures greater attention should be paid to the internal inspiration of the Holy Spirit than to the words of the text; that the observation of Sunday was a matter of indifference; that the contemplative life is a state of grace and union with God, and the very height of perfection. Laity, the people as distinguished from the clergy. See Clergy. Lama-Grand, a name given to the sovereign pontiff or high priest of the Thibetian Tartars, who resides at Patoli, a vast palace on a mountain near the banks of Barampooter, about seven miles from Lahassa. The foot of this mountain is inhabited by twenty thousand lamas, or priests, who have their separate apartments round about the mountain, and according to their respective quality are placed nearer or at a greater distance from the sovereign pontiff.
