PREFATORY NOTE
The
following Essay is one of the most remarkable studies in the Hebrew Qabalah
known to me. Its venerable author was an adept familiar with many systems of
symbolism, and able to harmonise them for himself, even as now is accomplished
for all men in the Book "777". In the year 1899 he was graciously
pleased to receive me as his pupil, and, living in his house, I studied daily
under his guidance the Holy Qabalah. Upon his withdrawal --- whether to enjoy
his Earned Reward, or to perform the Work of the Brotherhood in other lands or
planets matters nothing here --- he bequeathed to me a beautiful Garden, the
like of which hath rarely been seen upon Earth. It has been my pious duty to
collate and comment upon this arcane knowledge, long treasured in my heart,
watered alike by my tears and my blood, and sunned by that all-glorious Ray
that multiplieth itself into an Orb ineffable. In this Garden no flower was
fairer than this exquisite discourse; I beg my readers to pluck it and lay it
in their hearts. It should be studied in connection with the Book
"777," and with the Sepher Sephiroth, a magical dictionary of pure
{165} number which was begun by the author of this essay, carried on by myself,
and now about to be published as soon as
the MS. can be prepared.

A TRUE HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT
"The fact is that the instincts of ignorant people invariably
find expression in some form of witchcraft. It matters little
what the metaphysician or the moralist may inculcate; the animal
sticks to his subconscious ideas..."

A Textbook of Theosophy
“There is a school of philosophy still in existence of
which modern culture has lost sight.” In these words Mr. A.P. Sinnett began his
book, The Occult World, the first popular exposition of Theosophy, published
thirty years ago. [Namely in 1881.] During the years that have passed since then,
many thousands have learned wisdom in that school, yet to the majority its
teachings are still unknown, and they can give only the vaguest of replies to
the query, “What is Theosophy?”

A Taste of Freedom
“…That
which “looks over” the various factors which
arise in
meditation is ‘sati’, mindfulness. Sati is life.
Whenever we
don’t have sati, when we are heedless, it’s
as if we
are dead…. This sati is simply presence of mind.
It’s cause
for the arising of self-awareness and
wisdom….
Even when we are no longer in samàdhi, sati
should be present
throughout….”

A Short Enquiry concerning the Hermetic Art
By a lover of Philalethes.
London 1714.
This Art, of bringing all
Imperfect Metals to Perfection, hath been asserted for Truth, by Men of almost
every Degree, in most Ages of the World; many of whose Books are extant.
They have declared, that they
have made and possessed this great Treasure, which not only brings all
Imperfect Metals to the Perfection of Sol and Luna (according to the Quality of
the Medicine), but healeth all manner of Diseases in Human Bodies, even renewing
Youth and prolonging Life. Those Authors, from Age to Age, have justified one
another's Testimony; alledging, as a farther Proof of the Art, that all that
have understood it, have written most agreeingly of it, though contemporary,
and unknown to one another in Person, or by Writing.

A Short Course in Scrying
This paper was written in response to
requests by participants of the
“enochian-l” and “Praxis” internet
discussion groups; it first appeared as a series of posts on those groups in
early 1997. The current version has been slightly rewritten to enhance the
clarity of the presentation, and to include a small amount of additional
material.
The techniques described herein are
adaptations of techniques I learned from two sources. The first of these is Mr. Brian D.,
who taught me the basic method
many years ago. The second is Mr. Paul
Solomon and his group, the Fellowship of the Inner Light, who had transformed
that method into the foundation of their system of spiritual work.
Special thanks also to the “secret
chiefs” of the Fellowship, for their direct
and effective contribution to my work
at a critical point. Some debts can never be repaid; the best that can be done
is to pass on what was given.

A Road to Self-knowledge
It is the
endeavour of this treatise to convey spiritual-scientific knowledge concerning
the being of man. The method of representation is arranged in such a way that the
reader may grow into what is depicted, so that, in the course of reading, it
becomes for him a kind of self-conference. If this soliloquy takes
on such a form that there by hither to concealed forces, which can be awakened in
every soul, reveal themselves, then the reading leads to a real inner work of
the soul; and the latter can see itself gradually urged on to that
soul-journeying, which truly advances towards the beholding of the spiritual
world. What has to be imparted, therefore, has been given in the form of eight Meditations,
which can be actually practised. If this is done, they can be adapted for
imparting to the soul, through
its own inner deepening, that about which they speak.
It has been my
aim on the one hand, to give something to those readers who have already made themselves
conversant with the literature dealing with the domain of the supersensible, as
it is here understood. Thus through the style of the description, through the
communication directly connecting with the soul's
experience, perhaps those who have knowledge of supersensible life will here
find something that may appear of importance to them. On the other hand, many a
one can find that just through this method of representation profit may be
gained by those who yet stand far distant from the achievements of Spiritual
Science.
Although this
work is intended as an amplification of my other writings in the domain of
Spiritual Science, it should nevertheless be possible to read it independently.
It has been my
endeavour in my books, Theosophy and Occult Science, to represent the things as
they show themselves to observation, when it ascends to the Spiritual. In these
works the method of representation
is descriptive and its direction prescribed by conformity to the law
manifesting out of the things themselves. In this, A Road to Self-Knowledge,
the method of representation is different.
Herein is stated
that which can be experienced by a soul which sets out on the path to the
Spirit in a certain manner. The treatise may therefore be regarded as an
account of experiences of the soul; only it must be taken into
consideration that the experiences which can be gained in such a way as is here
described, must assume an individual form in each soul according to its own
peculiarity. It has been my endeavour to do justice to this fact, so that one
can also imagine that what is depicted here has been actually lived through by an
individual soul, exactly as represented. The title of this treatise is,
therefore, A Road to Self-knowledge. On that account it may serve the purpose
of assisting other souls to live into this portrayal and attain to
corresponding goals, and is an amplification of my book, Knowledge of the Higher
Worlds and its Attainment.
Only isolated
fundamental experiences of a spiritual scientific nature are represented. The
giving of information in this manner of the further spheres of "Spiritual
Science" is suspended for the present.

A Passover Saga
by Daniel Feldman
Thirteen men and women sat in a circle around the fire, meditating quietly with focused
intent. The pungent smoke of the burning flesh and hair of the goat filled our nostrils. Mixed
emotions stirred within us and a few could still not hold back tears that began to flow when the
goat was slain and the blood collected. Most had never seen an animal slain for any reason, let
alone as a sacrificial offering; many were vegetarians. But an overriding sense of higher purpose
and appropriateness held everyone steadfast to the events at hand, and we were ready to do what
needed to be done.

A Paramhansa Yogananda Trilogy of Divine Love
 | ||
| "All too often we praise dead saints and persecute living ones." | – Author unknown |
Sri Durga Mata has given over 65 years of her life in loving service and obedience to her Guru. It
is with humbleness and gratitude, we her children are taking this opportunity, on the 100th anniversary
of Paramhansa Yoganandaji's birth, to introduce her book to disciples everywhere. We sincerely hope
you the reader will receive inspiration, guidance, and a large measure of the spiritual joy we received in
printing it. The following is a spiritual journey with Durga Ma, her Guru, and his chief disciple, Rajasi
Janakananda.
Durga Mas life did not end when Master and Rajasi left this world, though she thought it would.
Instead, her life took a new turn and over the next 35 years she became mother, counselor, friend,
psychologist, and confidante, for Masters many disciples. For many years her phone was busy night
and day, for those who needed physical, mental, and spiritual guidance. She has never turned away a
sincere appeal for help, regardless of the persons race, religion, or gender. Her love is always there, her
forgiveness is always there, all we have to do is ask. She would often say, "It doesn't matter how many
times you fall, as long as you pick yourself up and start again."
Ma would say, "He always sends me the ones with the strong will, the rebels, the ones no one else
can do anything with." I too was one of those rebels, whom Ma has, after many years, managed to
tame.
Besides personal and group counseling, Ma became a master at many different art forms.
She used with great dexterity, watercolor, oil, and acrylics, which she liked the best. Over the years,
she has composed and written many chants. A few appear in this book. She has sculpted beautiful
statues of our Masters, of Rajasi (which Marjorie BenVau now has), of Master, and of the Beloved
Mother, Sri Ananda Moyi Ma. Mas writings are unparalleled in their beauty and heartfelt devotion to
Master.
Ma never liked to sew, it was tedious and time consuming, she felt, but she taught herself, and
became a master tailor and seamstress.
No can hold a candle to Ma's cooking. She can take the blandest food, and with a little touch here,
and a little touch there (her French touch), turn it into a gourmet's delight.
Now, at the end of the eleventh hour, when her life is fading, a child here cries once more, for the
tender, loving arms of its mother to embrace and protect, to succor and love it as of old. She has
promised that she, with Master, will always be there for us. All we have to do is call, "Ma, Ma," and she
will be there to help us, to soothe us, sometimes to discipline and scold, and to lead us back home.
I love you, my Ma, now and forever more. Thou art mine, I am Thine.

A Pali Word a Day - A Selection of Pali Words for Daily Reflection
 |
| The Gift of Truth excels all other Gifts |
This booklet aims to assist new Buddhist students who are
unfamiliar with some of the Pali words often used in the
study of Buddhism.
As the title of the booklet suggests, we encourage the
learning and use of Pali words by learning one word each
day. The booklet can serve as both a dictionary and a glos-
sary of terms for your reference.
We selected these basic Pali words as a foudation for a
deeper understanding of the Buddha-Dhamma - Further
study and research into the Pali Ti-Pitaka is strongly rec-
ommended.
May this booklet enhace your studies and promote your
progress upon the path of our Master-the Buddha.

A Mithriac Ritual - Echoes From The Gnosis
Under this general title is now being published
a series of small volumes, drawn from, or based
upon, the mystic, theosophic and gnostic writings
of the ancients, so as to make more easily audible
for the ever-widening circle of those who love such
things, some echoes of the mystic experiences and
initiatory lore of their spiritual ancestry. There
are many who love the life of the spirit, and who
long for the light of gnostic illumination, but who
are not sufficiently equipped to study the writings
of the ancients at first hand, or to follow un
aided the labours of scholars. These little volumes
are therefore intended to serve as introduction
to the study of the more difficult literature of the
subject ; and it is hoped that at the same time
they may become for some, who have, as yet, not
even heard of the Gnosis, stepping-stones to
higher things.
