Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man is the most unhappy of all creatures. His body has many diseases, and they are readily perceived. But the soul does not readily perceive its own maladies; it even mistakes them for indications of soundness. The man diseased in body willingly yields to the care of the physician. But the unruly passions of the soul resist a cure, and are therefore more fatal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is an old tradition, I think, and quite in the manner of Plato, to conceal the profound thoughts of philosophy behind the mask of some lighter treatment, that thereby whatsoever has been acquired with difficulty shall not be again lost to men, nor shall such matters be contaminated by lying exposed to the approach of the profane. The end accordingly has been most zealously pursued in the present work, and whether it attains this end, and whether in other respects it is wrought with distinction after the manner of the ancients, let those decide who shall approach it in a spirit of loving labour.” — Augustine Fitzgerald

Download or read book Two Spirits United in the Elysian Fields written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The propensity to seek defects in natural beauty is not proof of taste, but evidence of its absence. Who can possible know his Self, while living in the mephitic atmosphere of the material world? Sinnett weaves seamlessly lucid metaphysical insights in a prosaic story of everyday life. The real and the illusive aspects of our being are always next to each other, like twin parallel lines, but they never meet unless the animal tendencies created by selfishness are conquered, and the devil of the duad annihilated. Two spirits were finally united in the limited nirvanic state of devachan, from whence no traveller returns.

Hypnotism is the new scientific name for the old “superstition” variously called fascination and enchantment. Part 9. Will is the offspring of the Divine, Desire, the motive power of animal life.
Download or read book Death before whose majestic tranquillity so many shudder with fear has no terrors written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Futurity, which has been wisely closed to every mortal eye, now opens its pages to many sons of the earth. Among the workings of the inner life within us, which we may experience but cannot explain, are there any more remarkable than those mysterious moral influences constantly exercised either for attraction or repulsion, by one human being over another? Modern astronomy profits by the works of ancient astrology, and kicks it out of sight. During the dissolution of the Etheric Double the darkness of our ignorance beginning to be dispelled, there are many things we can see. It is through the throbs of dissolution that horizons of vaster and profounder knowledge are drawn on, bursting upon our mental vision and becoming with every hour plainer to our inner eye. The nearer some people approach death, the brighter becomes their long lost memory, and the more correct the previsions because the unfoldment of inner faculties increases as life-blood becomes more stagnant. Modern science and spiritualism are two opposite poles. Life and death are as much of a mystery to the man of science, as they are to the spiritualist and the profane unbeliever. Materialistic scientists keep unweaving the rainbow. Unconscious necromancers reject every other philosophy save their own. Death, before whose majestic tranquillity so many shudder with fear, has no terrors. And yet people make too much fuss over death, and too little over the birth of every new candidate for it.

Download or read book In deep sleep we dream no more and confabulate with the stars written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long kalpas of mental sleep, during which humanity was permitted to think only by proxy, preceded today’s self-consciousness alternating between wakefulness and sleep. When asleep, the ordinary man has no experience of any state of consciousness other than those emerging from his brain and the ever-deceiving physical senses. In deep sleep, ideation ceases on the physical plane, and memory is in abeyance because the organ, through which the Ego manifests ideation and memory on the material plane, has temporarily ceased to function. Spiritual Consciousness never sleeps because she is always in the Light of Reality and acts independently of the sleeping man. Impressions projected upon the brain may survive as “conscience.” But the Occultist, who knows that his Divine Self never sleeps, and lives in the Light of the One Reality — the same Light that illuminates every man in the world of being — says that during the state of sleep his mind (seat of the physical and personal intelligence) may get glimpses of that Light revealed by the Divine Thought, which was hidden from it during his waking hours. The spiritual perceptions of the Higher Ego are beyond space and time. Space and time are the illusory perceptions of his worldly shadow, whether wakeful or asleep. To see in Nirvana annihilation amounts to saying of a man plunged in a sound dreamless sleep — one that leaves no impression on the physical memory and brain, because the sleeper’s Higher Self is in its original state of absolute consciousness during those hours — that he, too, is annihilated. Alas! the human mind, unable to transcend the limitations of its individualised consciousness, totters here on earth on the brink of incomprehensible Absoluteness and Eternity. What, then, is the process of going to sleep? As a man exhausted by one state of the life fluid seeks another — e.g., when exhausted by hot air he refreshes himself with cool water — so sleep is the shady nook in the sunlit valley of life. Somnolence is a compelling sign that waking life has become too strong for the physical organism, and that the force of the life current must be broken by changing the waking for the sleeping state. Pernicious is the influence of the moon. Only one with remarkably strong nerves can sit or sleep under the moonlight without injury to his health. Shall we sleep with the head towards the north, south, east, or west?

Download or read book Suicide is unlawful for every affliction is a karmic necessity written by Olympiodorus the Younger, Thomas Taylor, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the truly worthy man is placed in difficult circumstances, yet not of such a magnitude as to prevent him from energizing intellectually, in this case it is not lawful for him to commit suicide; for the affliction is from Divinity, and is analogous to the castigation of a son by his father. For, according to the Platonic philosophy, everything afflictive in life either exercises, or corrects, or punishes. And the most worthy men sometimes require for the health of their souls, severe endurance, in the same manner as the most athletic require great exercise for the health of their bodies." — Thomas Taylor
Download or read book The double act of Oedipus and Sphinx unriddled written by Thomas Taylor, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Éliphas Lévi and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sphinx is Imagination lighting up our blind senses. She corresponds to Aether, or Spiritual Insight (Buddhi-Manas) opened up. There are two Oedipodes, a Divine Oedipus, being a ray of pure mind self-exiled from its celestial abode. And a Worldly Oedipus, a reflection of the same ray imprisoned in an impure body. Both are sentenced to suffer conjointly on earth. Inspired by the Imagination and Will of Divine Oedipus, animal man begins awakening his higher faculties. If he succeeds, he will ascend from star to star, from one world to another, circling onward to rebecome the once pure planetary Spirit that he had started from. Bereft of Ariadne’s thread of philosophy, Worldly Oedipus remains spiritually blind and unlearned, unable to escape from the labyrinth of matter. Enmeshed in the darkness of duality, his unmastered passions condemn him to involuntary exile from the solidarity of the One — a perfect recipe for drama. Sphinx is the greatest mystery of past, present, and future initiations. How the tetrad changing into a duad is explained by the triad. Man’s clinging to the form allowed the idea to be forgotten. Sphinx is the living palladium of humanity. But she devours only blind interpreters.
