Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helena P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) is widely celebrated as the leading esoteric thinker of the nineteenth century who influenced an entire generation of artists and intellectuals and introduced Eastern spirituality to the West. Until now, however, readers have been able to know this fascinating woman only through her public writings. Few may have realized that H.P.B. was also a tireless correspondent with family and colleagues, friends and foes, the learned and the simple. Her personal correspondence reveals for the first time the private H.P.B. in all of her sphinx-like complexity rarely visible in her published material. This unparalleled offering contains all known letters H.P.B. wrote between 1860 and the time just before she left for India in 1879. Meticulously edited by John Algeo, former President of the Theosophical Society in America and current Vice President of the international Society, the volume also contains letters to and about Blavatsky, articles, and editorial commentary.

Download or read book Theosophy across Boundaries written by Hans Martin Krämer and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theosophy across Boundaries brings a global history approach to the study of esotericism, highlighting the important role of Theosophy in the general histories of religion, science, philosophy, art, and politics. The first half of the book consists of seven perspectives on the activities of the Theosophical Society in very different regional contexts, ranging from India, Vietnam, China, and Japan to Victorian Britain and Israel, shedding new light on the entanglement of "Western" and "Oriental" ideas around 1900. The second half explores specific cultural influences that Theosophy exerted in the spheres of literature, art, and politics, using case studies from Sri Lanka, Burma, India, Japan, Ireland, Germany, and Russia. The examples clearly show that Theosophy was part of a truly global movement, thus providing an outstanding example of the complex entanglements of the global religious history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism written by Glenn Alexander Magee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysticism and esotericism are two intimately related strands of the Western tradition. Despite their close connections, however, scholars tend to treat them separately. Whereas the study of Western mysticism enjoys a long and established history, Western esotericism is a young field. The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism examines both of these traditions together. The volume demonstrates that the roots of esotericism almost always lead back to mystical traditions, while the work of mystics was bound up with esoteric or occult preoccupations. It also shows why mysticism and esotericism must be examined together if either is to be understood fully. Including contributions by leading scholars, this volume features essays on such topics as alchemy, astrology, magic, Neoplatonism, Kabbalism, Renaissance Hermetism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, numerology, Christian theosophy, spiritualism, and much more. This Handbook serves as both a capstone of contemporary scholarship and a cornerstone of future research.
Download or read book The first step towards the Temple of Truth written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2017-09-23 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selfishness is the root cause of every vice and sorrow. Self-love is the prime mover of every mortal sin. Vice and wickedness are an abnormal, unnatural manifestation, at this period of human evolution. But truth is often stranger than fiction. Some fictions point out to some of the most hidden ulcers in social life. For morality to exist between men and women, they must follow the Law of Chastity. Jesus did not teach Monasticism but the law of Continence. Of all vices, Vanity is the last and the most troublesome. Yet, in no class of society at large are deceit and craft considered as Divine Virtues, except in the clerical classes of theologians. In the unreal world we live in, every virtue (even a papal one) is tainted with vice. The first step towards the Temple of Truth is a clean life. Forgiveness of injuries, contentment, and pity are not exclusively Christian virtues. Still, the noble love of virtue for virtue’s own sake, of which some ancient Pagan nations were such prominent exemplars, has never blossomed in the Christian heart. Salvation by personal merit and self-forgetfulness is the greatest of all virtues and cornerstone of the teachings of Lord Buddha. For virtue cannot be spoofed or hoodwinked. One has to love her for her own sake without looking for reward or profit. The eminent ideal of virtue is the only basis of spiritual insight and attainment. One ought to despise that virtue which prudence and fear alone direct. The seven cardinal virtues are superhuman divine faculties. True virtues are faculties of the sevenfold Logoic Hierarchy. All else is burlesque and ballyhoo. They are the female counterparts of the Celestial Hierarchy. Virtues are one degree of the Hierarchy of Compassion, whose mission is to maintain righteousness on earth. They are the Four Maharajas, Kings of the Dhyani-Chohans, who preside over and rule the four Cosmical Forces. They are they who, being in this world, yet live far beyond our illusive life on earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of an unconventional woman in late 19th Century America is a study of the search for individual autonomy and spiritual growth. Laura Holloway-Langford, a “rebel girl” from Tennessee, moved to New York City, where she supported her family as a journalist. She soon became famous as the author of Ladies of the White House, which secured her financial independence. Promoted to associate editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, she gave readings and lectures and became involved in progressive women’s causes, the temperance movement, and theosophy—even traveling to Europe to meet Madame Blavatsky, the movement’s leader, and writing for the theosophist newspaper The Word. In the early 1870s, she began a correspondence with Eldress Anna White of the Mount Lebanon, New York, Shaker community, with whom she shared belief in pacifism, feminism, vegetarianism, and cremation. Attracted by the simplicity of Shaker life, she eventually bought a farm from the Canaan Shakers, where she lived and continued to write until her death in 1930. In tracing the life of this spiritual seeker, Diane Sasson underscores the significant role played by cultural mediators like Holloway-Langford in bringing new religious ideas to the American public and contributing to a growing interest in eastern religions and alternative approaches to health and spirituality that would alter the cultural landscape of the nation. “[A] richly detailed biography . . . that will deepen historical understandings of New Age movements in America.” —American Studies
