Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Modern Priestess of Isis Much, however, I was able to cut out at once. All that dealt with passages omitted from the original narrative could, of course, be dropped without hesitation. This at once accounted for a large portion of a pamphlet where the strength of the attack was coneen trated upon matters which did not directly touch the real question at issue. But the object of the rest was to produce disbelief in Mr. Solovyoffs veracity, partly by the evidence of letters written by himself, partly by comments and assertions of the authoress. As regards this I can only say that I have honestly and conscientiously endeavoured to give everything which is in any way to be regarded as of the nature of relevant fact. Two or three letters of Mr. Solovyoff's, and parts of some others, have been omitted. This has been done after careful consideration on the ground that they in no way whatever bear on the question at issue. They contain personal matters only, or refer to questions which it was thought right to omit from the principal narrative. The leading members of the Society for Psychical Research whom I have consulted with respect to these omissions, and who share the responsibility for them, are unanimous in holding that the letters are in no sense evidential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commentary from the Theosophical Review, Volume 16: STRANGE how utterly unjust a paper can be towards anyone who does not fit into its own particular little religious groove, and how illiberal is "Liberalism." The Spectator of July 13th says, in a brief notice of Solovyoff's slanderous romance, A Modern Priestess of Isis: “That Madam Blavatsky, the "modern priestess of Isis," was a fraud, and that she confessed herself to be such to him, is abundantly certain. It seems that she took up theosophy when she found that the game of spiritism, which she had practised for some time in the United States, was played out. Her Theosophy itself was borrowed from certain writers on occultism, as is set out in detail by an expert in these subjects, Mr. W. Emmette Coleman. All this being settled, let the woman and her doings be buried and forgotten, except, indeed, her career should be wanted as a lesson and a warning. What a " Nemesis of unfaith " it is when those who have shaken off belief in religion as a folly out of which the world ought to have grown, fall victims to the frauds of an immoral and lying adventuress.” It "is abundantly certain" from this paragraph that the writer thereof has not read Mme. Blavatsky's books, and is merely repeating, parrot-like, the gossip that floats about on the surface of society. Yet he would probably be surprised if he realised that such repetition of uninvestigated slanders is as immoral as anything that he ascribes to Mme. Blavatsky. The childish and petulant impatience to have " the woman and her doings" out of the way brings little credit to a journal which plumes itself on its "Christianity," but which shows more of the spirit that cried "Away with him, away with him," than of that spirit of equity and charity which should characterise those who claim to be specially favoured with religious knowledge. Mme. Blavatsky and her doings cannot "be buried and forgotten" while increasing numbers of thoughtful people owe to her that definite proof of the existence of the Soul that popular Christianity fails to supply, and that definite training of the spiritual life in man which few modern Christian teachers are able to impart. Her memory will live, not because she could perform marvels but because she could feed starving Souls with the bread of spiritual Wisdom; and because she showed that Religion was not a beautiful dream but a solid verity, based on truths in Nature, not only on hopes in Man. Her memory will live because she opened the way to Initiation in a modern world where only the faint traditions of the Higher Life survived, where Science scoffed at Intuition and where Reason was undermining Religion, where belief in the Invisible World was derided as a folly or apologised for as an amiable weakness. Many persons know that she possessed Occult Powers, and could wield the subtler forces of Nature; but if every phenomenon she performed had been a weak and wrongful accommodation to the demands made upon her by materialistic enquirers, she would still remain the heroic witness for the reality of the Occult Life, the possessor of spiritual Wisdom and its imparter to those who desired to receive it. Vainly will impatient scribblers cry for her obliteration, while those she taught are constantly verifying her statements by their own experience, and are helping others to take the steps which they themselves took under her guidance. Her children in Occultism rise up and call her blessed; her imperfections will "be buried and forgotten" and her great life-work will remain.

Download or read book Isis Unveiled Vol 1 written by H. P. Blavatsky and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isis Unveiled was Helena Blavatsky's first major literary work in which she explores the depths of esoteric subjects such as psychic phenomena, the occult and the unknown natural forces in an attempt to restore to man knowledge of what Ms Blavatsky refers to as "Ancient Wisdom". Born in in the Russian Empire in 1831, by the 1870s Helena Blavasky had become a key figure in the occult societies and a founding mind of what are now key concepts of Theosophy. After carrying out wide-ranging research on a wide spectrum of spiritual traditions Blavasky went on to publish various works, including Isis Unveiled, all of which held in high regard by the Theosophical Society. In this, volume one of two of Isis Unveiled, 'The Infallibility of Modern Science' Helena demonstrates considerable knowledge of the scientific views of her time (in volume two going into greater detail regarding the religious aspects and influences of esotericism), seeking to describe an integration of more modern scientific findings into the beliefs on arcane and hermetic practises. A truly stunning book in terms of sheer volume of information and the quality of writing and argument put forth, another must read in the Forgotten Books collection for those with prior knowledge on the esoteric subjects and none-followers alike.

Download or read book A Library of the World s Best Literature Ancient and Modern Vol XLIII Forty Five Volumes Dictionary of Authors K Z written by Charles Dudley Warner and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Volume 43 is Part Two of a dictionary of authors-from Hans Vilhelm Kaalund to Ulrich Zwingli-that serves as a handy, condensed reference to the authors quoted in the first 40 volumes, as well as a guide to thousands more authors whose works are notable but not featured in this set.
