1. The supreme energy resides in the Buddhi: latent when wedded to Atman alone; active and irresistible when galvanized by the essence of Manas. 2. Healing requires perfect benevolence, untainted even by latent selfishness. 3. The unreformed Western mind cannot grasp the essence of Buddhistic exegesis. The twin faces of Avalokiteshvara. The blind and guilty Rhys Davids leads the blind and innocent Lillie into the ditch. 4. God Geometrises. 5. Only the unshackled Spirit shall see the things of the Spirit without a veil.

The cis-Himalayan Mahatmas are Great Souls and Masters of Wisdom; their higher individuality is en rapport with the Universal Soul. Through occult training in successive births, the hold of lower Manas weakens until the whole Manas identifies with the Universal Soul, which runs through humanity at large, and lo and behold! a new Saviour of Mankind is born. Only a pure and unexpecting soul, whose brotherly love has uplifted his Manas above the fog of separateness, can ever hope to approach the majesty of a Mahatma. Manasic perception is enlightened belief without intellectual understanding. That is the real meaning of faith, not the blind belief implied by the religious meaning of faith. The adept is the rare efflorescence of a generation of enquirers. Their three higher aspects are merged into One. A Planetary Spirit can roam the interstellar spaces in full consciousness, while continue living on earth in his original body. That is highest form of adeptship man can hope for on our planet. Only an Occultist, by analysing and experiencing sentient life in all its phases, whether on earth or beyond, whether mineral, vegetable, animal, or spiritual life, can figure out the Great Problem of Consciousness. Spirit and Matter are co-existent, inseparable, interdependent, and convertible to each other. This androgynous Force is Mind and Soul. Since motion is all-pervading and absolute rest inconceivable, under whatever form or mask may appear, whether as light, heat, magnetism, chemical affinity or elec-tricity — all these must be phases of One and the same universal omnipotent Force. Consciousness is not only transformable into other aspects or phases of the all-pervading Force, but that it can be infused into, and animate, an artificial man. The three extant centres of Occult Brotherhood, though widely separated geographically, and as widely exoterically, promulgate the same esoteric doctrine. Self is a passing guest, whose concerns are all like a mirage of the great desert. It is upon the serene and placid surface of the unruffled mind that the visions gathered from the invisible find a representation in the visible world. Nature has linked all parts of her Empire together by subtle threads of magnetic sympathy. By subduing the lower Manas and thus identifying with his higher counterpart, man can become master and ruler over blind molecular motion.

In Esotericism there are two Avalokiteshvaras, First and Second Logos, or Father and Son. Avalokiteshvara is both the unmanifested Father and the manifested Son, the latter proceeding from, and identical with, the other; namely, the Parabrahm and Jivatman, the Universal and the individualized seventh Principle in man, the Passive and the Active. Rhys Davids is like the Cape Settlers who lived over diamond mines without suspecting it. He was an atheist and a materialist.

No man dies insane or unconscious, as some physiologists assert. Even a madman, or one in a fit of delirium tremens, will enjoy perfect lucidity at the moment of death, though unable to say so to those present. A man may often appear dead, yet from the last throbbing of his heart, and the moment when the last spark of animal heat leaves the body, the brain thinks and the Ego lives over his whole life over again. Speak in whispers, ye, who assist at a death-bed and find yourselves in the solemn presence of Death. Keep quiet just after Death has laid her clammy hand upon the body. Speak in whispers, I say, lest you disturb the quiet ripple of thought, and hinder the busy work of Past casting its reflection upon the Veil of Future. At the end of the seventh Round, at the threshold of the long Nirvana that awaits us after we leave Globe Z, we will remember our collective lives on earth. Irretrievably bad must be that Ego that yields no mite from its fifth Principle, and has to be annihilated in the Eighth Sphere. And even the shells of those good men, whose pages will not be found missing in the great book of lives, will regain their remembrance and self-consciousness after the sixth and seventh principles, enriched with the essence of the fifth, have gone to their gestation period. The flame has left that candle forever; but are the particles that moved, their motion producing the objective flame, annihilated or dispersed for all that? Never. Relight the candle, and the same particles drawn by mutual affinity will return to the wick. Memory is one thing, and perceptive faculties quite another. A madman may remember very clearly some portions of his past life; yet he is unable to perceive anything in its true light because the higher portion of his Manas and Buddhi are paralysed in him. That which will “perceive” in the shell is something that perceives with a borrowed or reflected light. Personal consciousness does always vanish at death; and when the centre of memory is re-established in the shell, it will remember and speak out its recollections but through the brain of some living human being. At the seventh Round men will become gods; and animals, intelligent beings.

Neither the physical nor the metaphysical Science are of interest to the true philanthropist, except in the degree of their potentiality of moral results, and in proportion of their usefulness to mankind. Nature works slowly but incessantly towards the evolution of conscious life out of inert material. Every thought passes into the inner world and, by coalescing with an elemental, it becomes an active intelligence. Thus a good thought is perpetuated as an active beneficent power; an evil one, as a maleficent demon. The Buddhist calls this impulse-seed his Skandha; the Hindu, his Karma; the Adept evolves these shapes consciously; other men throw them off unconsciously. Every form of life is sustained by countless other lives. If you offer nothing in return, you are like a thief. The building ant, the busy bee, the nest-building bird accumulate, each in their own humble way, as much cosmic energy in its potential form as a Haydn, a Plato, or a ploughman turning his furrow. They thus rob nature instead of enriching her, and will all in the degree of their intelligence find themselves accountable. Exact experimental Science has nothing to do with morality, virtue, or philanthropy. Her cold classification of facts outside man can only benefit the career of her professors. The Initiated Adept is the efflorescence of his age. Few ever appear in a single century. The cycles must run their rounds. Periods of mental and moral light and darkness succeed each other, as day does night. The major and minor yugas must be accomplished according to the established order of things. And we, borne along on the mighty tide, can only modify and direct some of its minor currents. If we had the powers of the imaginary Personal God, and the universal and immutable laws were but toys to play with, then indeed might we have created conditions that would have turned this earth into an Arcadia for lofty souls. But having to deal with an immutable Law, being ourselves its creatures, we have had to do what we could and rest thankful. Modern education enthrones scepticism and imprisons spiritualism. The boisterousness of animal passions stifles spirituality. What else could one expect of men so nearly related to the lower kingdom, from which they evolved? The era of blind faith is gone; that of enquiry is here. Enquiry that only unmasks error, without discovering anything upon which the soul can build, will but make iconoclasts. The noble aim of the progressive mind is to furnish the building blocks for a universal religious philosophy. A philosophy impregnable to scientific assault, because itself the finality of absolute science; and, a religion worthy of the name. The main aim of the Theosophical Society is to root out superstition and scepticism, and to help man shape his future. The cis-Himalayan Mahatmas will not be thwarted in their philanthropic attempts to save humanity from itself until that day when the new continent of thought is firmly established.

The active principle is attracted by the passive and the Great Nag, the serpent emblem of the eternity, attracts its tail to its mouth forming thereby a circle in that incessant pursuit of the negative by the positive. The two opposing forces, unconscious and non-existing when separated, they become consciousness and life when brought together. On the post-mortem disintegration of the constituent parts of man and their return their respective source. It is not part of the evolutionary law that the human mind, our fifth principle, should be fully developed before the Fifth Round. The Seeress of Prévorst is an example of a Fifth Rounder; Count St. Germain, of a Sixth Rounder. Confucius and Plato were Fifth Rounders. While Gautama Buddha and Shankaracharya are also termed Sixth Rounders, allegorically, the former is still higher and greater than all Fifth Rounders. However, precocious minds on this Round are abnormal. Monads are not discrete principles, limited or conditioned, but rays from One Universal and Absolute Principle. The entrance into a dark room through the same aperture of one ray of sunlight following another will not constitute two rays, but one ray intensified.

Earth currents, terrestrial magnetism, and atmospheric electricity are all due to the fact that the earth is an electrified conductor, whose potential is ever changing owing to its rotation and its annual orbital motion, the successive cooling and heating of the air, the formation of clouds and rain, storms and winds. All such changes are due to akashic magnetism incessantly generating electric currents which tend to restore the disturbed equilibrium by producing weather changes and sudden disturbances. It is the earth’s magnetism that produces wind, storms, and rain. The Sun has nothing to do whatsoever with rain, and very little with heat. High above our earth’s surface the air is filled with magnetic or meteoric dust, which does not even belong to our solar system. As earth is passing through space, millions of meteors and fine meteoric particles reach us daily, without having undergone any change, the magnetism of the earth keeping them in cohesion. The relative distribution and proportion of land and water on our globe may be due to the great accumulation upon it of meteoric dust — snow, especially in the northern regions, being full of meteoric iron and magnetic particles; such deposits are found even in the bottom of oceans and seas. And, therefore, the northern hemisphere receives a greater proportion of meteoric dust than the southern, because of the number of continents and abundance of snow and moisture. Our Master calls meteoric dust a “mass,” for it is really one. Every atmospheric change and abrupt disturbance is due to the combined magnetism of the two great masses between which our atmosphere is compressed! Our earth’s magnetic attraction of meteoric dust, and the direct influence of the latter upon the sudden changes of temperature, especially in the matter of heat and cold, is still not a settled question. The Sun we see is not the central planet of our little universe, but only a veil or reflection of the Central Spiritual Sun of all Universes and solar systems. The head of a man in a strong ecstatic condition, when all the electricity of his system is centred around the brain, will represent (especially in darkness) a perfect simile of the Sun during such periods. The further the emanation of the Sun shoots out, the more it loses in intensity until, gradually subsiding, it fades out. Hence the rayed shape of the outer corona, whose effulgence proceeds from the magnetic nature of matter and electric energy — and not at all from intensely hot particles, as asserted by some astronomers. The Sun being the heart and brain of our Universe, we might compare its bright spots with the blood corpuscles of that luminary, though some of them are as large as Europe. The coronal changes have no effect upon the earth’s climate, though the spots have. The Sun is neither a solid, nor a liquid, nor yet a gaseous globe. It is a gigantic ball of electromagnetic forces, the store-house of universal life and motion, from which the latter pulsate in all directions, feeding the smallest atom as the greatest genius with the same material to the end of the Maha-Yuga. The Sun gives to All and takes back nothing from its planetary system. The Sun is Life itself, the all-pervading life, ever at work in its great laboratory. No planets, except one, have hitherto been discovered outside of the solar system, while we know with the sole help of our spiritual eye a number of them; every fully matured Sun-star having, like in our own system, several companion planets in fact. Every phenomenon is but the effect of the diversified motions of Akasha, the One Element and Causative Principle of All. There is a King-star, right behind Jupiter, that no mortal eye has ever seen during this Round. Could it be so perceived, it would appear as a small dimensionless point, thrown into the shadow by the brightness of any planet. Nevertheless, this Raja-Star is thousands of times larger than Jupiter.

Civilization is an inheritance, a patrimony that passes from race to race along the ascending and descending paths of cycles. In its dark ages, Europe rejected the testimony of Antiquity, calling such sages as Herodotus and other learned Greeks the Fathers of Lies. Lemuria and the Atlantic Continent with their high civilizations, were submerged and drowned. The two catastrophes were separated by just , years. Our present Fifth Race began in Asia a million years ago. Greek, Roman, and even Egyptian civilizations are nothing compared to the civilizations that began with the Third Race. Greeks and Romans were small sub-races, and Egyptians part and parcel of our own “Caucasian” stock. Look at the latter, and at India: having reached their highest civilization and learning, both went down. Today’s India, one of the first and most powerful off-shoots of the mother Race, is still struggling to resume her place in history. A series of far greater civilizations than our own existed before (as well as after the Glacial Period) at various points of the globe, reached the apex of glory, and died. The Chaldees were at the apex of their Occult fame well before the so-called “Bronze Age.” The highest people now on earth, in terms of spirituality, belong to the first sub-race of the Fifth Root-race — the Aryan Asiatics. The highest, in terms of physical intellectuality, are those of the last sub-race of the Fifth, the “White Conquerors.” Black magic, bestiality, selfishness, and self-adoration spelled the demise of Atlantis and the rise of evil. The British Islands will be the first to be destroyed by submarine volcanos and water; France and other lands will follow suit. When they reappear, very few seas and great waters will be found then on our globe. The approach of every new obscuration is always signalled by cataclysms, earthquakes, and fire. Though perfected in materiality, the Atlanteans degenerated in spirituality. Atlantis and its proud Fourth Race inhabitants sunk , years ago, coinciding with the elevation of the Alps. When our present race reaches its zenith of intellectuality, and its peak of materialistic “civilization,” unable to go any higher towards absolute evil, its progress will be arrested by one of such cataclysmic changes; and it’s sub-races will go down their respective cycles, after a short period of glory and learning. See the remnants of the Atlanteans, the old Greeks and Romans, how great, how short, and how evanescent were their days of fame and glory! Every race had its adepts, who are allowed to give out as much of their knowledge as the men of that race deserve. The adepts of the last race will be far higher than any of the preceding races, for among them will abide the future Planetary Spirit, whose duty will be to instruct or “refresh the memory” of the first race of the Fifth Round men after this planet’s future obscuration.

Mahatmas can travel in their inner or astral body, preserve full command of all their intelligence, and condense their “phantom” form into visibility or dissolve it into invisibility. But They are not accident-proof for They are living men in living bodies. Their Mayavi-Rupa is furnished by the Auric Egg. At death, Their apparitional or astral body becomes as solid and tangible as was the late physical body. – When the body of an Adept is entirely at the command of the Inner Man, – When the Spiritual Self is completely reunited with its seventh principle even during the lifetime of the personality, — When the Astral Man or Personal Self has become so purified that he has gradually assimilated all the qualities and attributes of the middle nature (Buddhi and Manas in their terrestrial aspect), Then it can be said that the material lower self substitutes itself for the spiritual Higher Self, and is thenceforth capable of living an independent life on earth. Mahatmas are able to desert their bodies, which live on from that point until the day of death of the body entirely devoid of a soul. But the influence of the Adept on the atoms, and consequently on all new physical atoms coming into the form, is such that no evil influence enters and the life led by that body is harmless and often actively good. There are two types of voluntary and conscious incarnations: those of Nirmanakayas, and those undertaken by the probationary chelas who are on trial.

How have developments in literary and cultural theory transformed our understanding of narrative? What has happened to narrative in the wake of poststructuralism? What is the role and function of narrative in the contemporary world? In this revised, updated and expanded new edition of an established text, Mark Currie explores these central questions and guides students through the complex theories that have shaped the study of narrative in recent decades. Postmodern Narrative Theory, Second Edition: • establishes direct links between the workings of fictional narratives and those of the non-fictional world • charts the transition in narrative theory from its formalist beginnings, through deconstruction, towards its current concerns with the social, cultural and cognitive uses of narrative • explores the relationship between postmodern narrative and postmodern theory more closely • presents detailed illustrative readings of known literary texts such as Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and now features a new chapter on Coetzee's Elizabeth Costello and Slow Man. Approachable and stimulating, this is an essential introduction for anyone studying postmodernism, the theory of narrative or contemporary fiction.
