MAN AT HOME IN THE UNIVERSE:  A Study Of The Great Evolutionary Cycle
Elsie Benjamin
The knotty subject of "Rounds and Races," "Globes," "Root-Races" and "Sub-Races" are forthrightly covered. Seven general principles are considered: 1) As above, so below - the Law of Analogy; 2) Everything in the Universe is septenary, whether Planets, Globes, or Men; 3) Each Hierarchy repeats the same Divisions of 'Time,' on different scales; 4) Everything from the Highest to the Lowest is evolving; 5) Evolution never proceeds in a straight line, Upward or Downward - there are always periods of activity and periods of rest; 6) As regards the 'Houses' the evolving Monads inhabit, it must be remembered that these, too, are living, evolving beings; 7) Man is literally not only at home in the Universe, but is an integral, indeed inescapable, part of it.

THE STANZAS OF DYZAN Notes for Study and Discussion on Cosmogenesis and Anthropogenesis
Elsie Benjamin
This study introduces the student to the Seven Stanzas translated from "The Book of Dzyan," the foundation for H.P. Blavatsky's exposition of Cosmic Evolution - the coming into being of the Universe - in her great work the The Secret Doctrine. H.P.B. therein states that these Stanzas are presented "in their modern translated version, as it would be worse than useless to make the subject still more difficult by introducing the archaic phraseology of the original, with its puzzling style and words." The Notes here are presented not as a formal study but as a stimulus to the student to pursue his own reflection on this deeply mystical and intriguing subject.

BASIC SELF KNOWLEDGE - An Introduction to Esoteric Psychology Based on the Gurdjieff System of Esoteric Development
Harry Benjamin
In the comentaries of Dr. Maurice Nicoll the writer discovers the missing key to the problems of life. That key is self-knowledge. It means thinking in a new way. What are the basidc requirements for such a quest? In both Theosophic Mysticism and these commentaries, and in the system of esoteric development expounded by Gurdjieff, are the keys to the true meaning and purpose of existence. To understand them,to live them, is to gain freedom from self-imprisonment from which we all suffer. Here, Harry Benjamin explores the essentials of this self-knowledge and the basic Theosophic pattern underlying Nicoll, Gurdjieff and Krishnamurti's teachings. They tell us what we have long forgotten, 'that we and the universe are one.' Chapters include a practical understanding and guidance on negative emotions, gaining and losing force, internal and external accounts, self observation, the limitation of logical thinking, three universal forces, the way to self-knowledge etc.

DESIGN AND PURPOSE: A Study In The Drama Of Evolution
Henry T. Edge
This study seeks to answer universal questions from the realm of evolution. What is evolution, according to Theosophy, and what is its purpose? Wherein has science in general failed in this respect? is the Darwinian hypothesis correct in the assumption that man evolved from the animals? What is the distinction between body, soul, and spirit? What are objections to the doctrine of the survival of the fittest? Did animals descend from Man? What is the origin of Man? What can you say about the earlier races of mankind? Will animals ever become men? What are manvantaras and pralayas? How does the Weismann theory confirm Theosophy? How does Theosophy explain the obvious existence of  design in the universe? Who am I?

AFTER DEATH CONSCIOUSNESS AND PROCESSES
Geoffrey A. Farthing
This book is a compilation from the visionary philosophy of Helena Blavatsky and her circle, who inspired the theosophic renaissance of the late nineteenth century. It tells of the universal processes of the cyclic coming and going of everything in existence, including the human birth, death, and re-birth experience. The story also outlines something of the universal law which governs the process and what happens in the period between lives. Compiled from the classic theosophical writings of Blavatsky's time and influence, Farthing has arranged this material in an easy to follow manner that follows the after death processes from death to re-birth. It is a scholarly work useful to both the student and serious researcher who wish to delve into the nature of consciousness and mystery of existence itself.    In 1996 Farthing was awarded the T. Subba Row Award for these writings honoring their quality and excellence in expressing the truths of the Wisdom Tradition.

WHEN WE DIE
Geoffrey A. Farthing
What happens to us when we die is of concern to all. We are all going to die sometime. Religions have their different versions of what happens but no one really KNOWS.    This book is a unique and essential guide for students of The Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Tibetan Book of the Dead and for those pursuing the path to Spiritual Enlightenment. Its content is gathered from the phenomenal and historic letters Helena Blavatsky's Mahatma Teachers wrote to A.P. Sinnett in the 1800's.    Man is possessed of faculties, latent in most of us, but which have been developed to their fullest extent by a few men, known as Mahatmas, who have spent many lifetimes of self-discipline and arduous training bringing them to perfection. This they have done leaving us written records of some of their discoveries, which tell us of the various stages and processes of the after-death states. (Book Review by Glenn H. Mullin)
