| 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. | ||

| 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) |

| THE BUDDHISM OF H.P. BLAVATSKY |  |
| Compiled and annotated by H.J. Spierenburg | |
| Here for the first time is a compilation in one volume of Blavatsky's perspective, both controversial and of stimulating value, for all interested in the Buddhist and Theosophic world view. D.T. Suzuki spoke of Helena Blavatsky as "one who had truly attained," and praised her Voice of the Silence as being "true Mahayana Buddhism." The Lama Kazi Dawa Samdup, who translated the Tibetan Book of the Dead with Dr. W.Y. Evans-Wentz, said Blavatsky's writings showed "...intimate acquaintance with the higher lamaistic teachings..." She and Col. Olcott, then President of the Theosophical Society, formally took Buddhist vows in Sri Lanka in 1880 much to the shock of Christian missionaries and colonial powers. This bold action by her and Olcott's extensive networking initiated a cultural revival there revitalizing Buddhist values, thought and practice. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Blavatsky influenced prominent Buddists of all kinds: from late nineteenth century Singhalese Buddhists who were here close assiates, including Dharmapala and others, to the Sixth Panchen Lama who in 1925 wrote an introductory preface to the Peking edition of her Voice of the Silence, and more recently Christmas Humphreys, Evans-Wentz, Edward Conze, etc. Throughout the century, Blavatsky's Theosophic exposition of Buddhist thought has gained influence and respect. | |

| H.P. BLAVATSKY ON THE GNOSTICS |  |
| Compiled and annotated by H.J. Spierenburg | |
| "It was Madame Blavatsky who first claimed the Gnostics as precursors for the occult movement. In her program to divide speculative learning into esoteric and exoteric, truth and religion, the Gnostics were an obvious oppositoin to what she called "Churchianity". She absorbed the Gnostics, in her universal free-associative style into a great occult synthesis.... There is an esoteric tradition, Blavatsky felt, within every religion teaching her "secret doctrine". 'The Gnostic, or traditional secret knowledge, was never without its representatives in any age or country', she writes. The esoteric tradition within Christianity is represented by the Gnostics, but 'it is the intense and cruel desire to crush out the last vestige of the old philosophies by perverting their meaning, for fear that their own dogmas should not be rightly fathered on them, which impels the Catholic Church to carry on such a systematic persecution in regard to Gnostics. Alas, alas ! -Richard Smith in "The Nag Hammadi Library in English" | |

| THE INNER GROUP TEACHINGS OF H.P. BLAVATSKY |  |
| Compiled and Annotated by Henk J. Spierenburg with an historical introduction by Daniel H. Caldwell and Henk J. Spierenburg | |
During the last months of Helena Blavatsky's life, a small group of personal students gathered to form an "Inner Group" which met with her to ask questions and receive teaching on various aspects of Theosophy, practical and metaphysical alike. These meetings covered a wide range of subjects from states of consciousness, correspondences of planets, color, and sound to metaphysical correspondences of Kosmic principles and future evolution of humanity. The meetings continued until her death in may, 1891. Given today's understanding of the dynamics of the "unconscious" from Jungian thought, as well as the unified matter/energy theories of modern physics, it can be seen the Blavatsky's comments both seeded and anticipated this later inner opening in the Western psyche. Her profound insight expanded this new movement of consciousness into the 21st century and will still continue to provide ideas of archetypal depth.

| NEW TESTAMENT COMMENTARIES OF H.P. BLAVATSKY |  |
| Compiled and annotated by H.J. Spierenburg | |
| This
work reveals the enormous knowledge Helena Blavatsky,
founder of the modern Theosophical Movement, displays
about Christianity and its eastern and "pagan" origins,
as well as intrinsic, though often hidden, esoteric
meaning. These scriptures that have so essentially
influenced western culture and spiritual development,
and that have been perhaps most misinterpreted
and misunderstood, are in this work revealed to
have depth of meaning that if accepted by "Christians" of
today would change the whole fabric and form of
Christianity. The compiler-annotator, H.J. Spierenburg,
a Hebrew and Greek, as well as Theosophical scholar,
has referred to the Biblical texts, including the
original Greek and parallel passages of Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John, and has arranged Blavatsky's
commentary for ease of study. The work is in ten
segments: Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation,
with the Gospels being the largest. There is a
five-page bibliography, N.T. Index, O.T. Index,
Rabbinical Index, Index of works by Blavatsky as
they occur, and a General index of 115 pages which
is a concordnce based on word and expression. These
many insights and comments point revealingly to
Blavatsky's key statement: "Every act of the Jesus of the New Testament, every work attributed to him, every event related to him during the three years of the mission he is said to have accomplished, rest on the program of the Cycle of Initiation, a cycle founded on the precession of the Equinoxes and the Signs of the Zodiac." An indispensable book for everyone seeking within his western roots, a deeper spiritual understanding of the meaning in the story, myth and symbols of Christianity and the New Testament. |

| THE VEDA COMMENTARIES OF H.P. BLAVATSKY |  |
| Compiled and annotated by H.J. Spierenburg | |
| The revealing material, wide ranging (and thus partly hidden) of H.P.Blavatsky on the Vedas, is gathered together for the first time in this volume. The word Veda, we are told, is derived from the word vid, to know, and the student is helped to see and to know what perhaps was unperceived before this mother of all Eastern philosophies. We read of Vedic history, the cosmic origin of the Vedas, their esoteric meaning and we learn. "The Rig-Veda, the oldest of all the known ancient records, may be shown to corroborate the occult teachings in almost every respect." | |

| THE VEDANTA COMMENTARIES OF H.P. BLAVATSKY |  |
| Compiled and annotated by H.J. Spierenburg | |
| In this volume in this series of 'Blavatsky commentaries' the editor, compiler and annotator, Kenk J. Spierenburg of the Hague, Netherlands,shares with his readers not only Blavatsky's revealatory statements on the subjects that include the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Adwaita Vedanta, Samkaracharya, etc., but includes commentary from some of the writings of the learned Brahman T. Subba Row, regarded by H.P. Blavatsky as the best authority in India on the Esotericism of Advaita Vedanta. As we read these pages we are carried back over the long corridors of time to what to many is still regarded as pre-history, but which in fact becomes source-history. We find here a 'mystery that goes to the very root of occult science.' H.J.Spierenburg's 359 painstaking and scholarly references/annotations, the bibliography and the comprehensive index link resourceful past to on-going and modern research. | |
