The Key to Theosophy
None
Theosophy across Boundaries
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.
The Key to Theosophy - Being a Clear Exposition, in the Form of Question and Answer, of the Ethics, Science, and Philosophy for the Study of Which the Theosophical Society Has Been Founded
"The Key to Theosophy" is a detailed exposition of the "ethics, science, and philosophy" of the Theosophical Society, written by one if its founding members, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (12 August 1831 - 8 May 1891) was a Russian spirit medium, occultist, and author. She co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875 and gained international popularity for being the leading theoretician of Theosophy. This book will appeal to those with an interest in the Theosophical Society, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage occult literature. Contents include: "Theosophy and the Theosophical Society", "The Meaning of the Name", "The Policy of the Theosophical Society", "The Wisdom-Religion Esoteric in all Ages", "Theosophy is not Buddhism", "Exoteric and Esoteric Theosophy", "What the Modern Theosophy Society is not", "Theosophists and the Members of the 'T.S.'", etc. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
The Dawn of the New Cycle
In considering a group that identified with Victorian American culture and its anxieties while adhering to an occult worldview that most of their contemporaries found strange, if not dangerous, the book explains why these middle-class Americans found Theosophy so persuasive and why they left family and friends behind to take up residence at this California settlement."--BOOK JACKET.
The Key to Theosophy
"Written in the form of question and answer, this book unfolds in easily understood language the fundamental principles of theosophia or "divine wisdom"-a term in use, the author tells us, as far back as the third century of our era when Ammonius Saccas founded his Eclectic School in order to show the common origin of the "thousand tenets" of the many religious sects of both East and West. Seen as parts of a cosmic pattern, the themes of death and rebirth; fate, destiny, free will, and karma; God and prayer, as well as the sevenfold nature of man's constitution, reveal a practical and inspiring philosophy for everyday living." --
Divine Feminine
Honorable Mention for the Wallace K. Ferguson Prize from the Canadian Historical AssociationChosen by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title of 2003 In 1891, newspapers all over the world carried reports of the death of H. P. Blavatsky, the mysterious Russian woman who was the spiritual founder of the Theosophical Society. With the help of the equally mysterious Mahatmas who were her teachers, Blavatsky claimed to have brought the "ancient wisdom of the East" to the rescue of a materialistic West. In England, Blavatsky's earliest followers were mostly men, but a generation later the Theosophical Society was dominated by women, and theosophy had become a crucial part of feminist pol...
