1992PHIL2621Stuttgart, Frommann-Holzboog 1956-1992. 5151 Seiten, OLnBde. mit OUmschlägen, neuwertig. Die bis heute maßgebliche Gesamtausgabe. - J. W. UEBERFELD, der ungenannte Herausgeber dieser Ausgabe, und seine Mitarbeiter kamen den heutigen Zielen einer wissenschaftlichen Edition schon damals nahe. Sie waren bestrebt, die Texte nach den Originalhandschriften zu geben, und ihre Ausgabe erfasst die »in der gegenwärtigen und in vorigen Editionen geschehene(n) Änderungen« in einem Verzeichnis, das einem historisch-kritischen Apparat entspricht. Der Neudruck der Ausgabe von 1730 und die ?Urschriften? haben ihren jeweils eigenen Wert und ergänzen einander. ? Der Neudruck enthält zusätzlich die schöneren Tafeln der Ausgabe von 1682 und Peuckerts ?Das Leben Jacob Böhmes? in 2., vermehrter Auflage. // J. W. Ueberfeld, the unnamed editor of this edition, and his co-workers came close to reaching the current goals of a scholarly edition even at that time. They strove to provide the texts in accordance with the original manuscripts, and their edition contains the "changes made in the present and in previous editions». The reprint of the 1730 edition and the ?Urschriften? (Original Writings) are both valuable in their own way and complement each other. In addition, the reprint contains the more attractive plates from the 1682 edition and Peuckert's ?Das Leben Jacob Böhmes? (The Life of Jacob Böhme) in a second, enlarged edition
194019776np Elsinore CA nd ca. 1940s. Very good. Two volumes. The first mounted awkwardly into a zippered limp leather case and titled "Aheliobas" by hand to front cover. 6" x 4.5" approx. The second a small notebook leather over boards with "Aheliobas" scratched into leather at rear cover. Both volumes worn and a little ad hoc but generally very good overall. <br/><br/>An unusual and intriguing pair of books owned by Dr. Aheliobas A. Johnson 1886-1955. Johnson whose business card laid into one volume describes him as a "Metaphysician Healer Teacher and Spiritual Counselor" was a resident of Lake Elsinore and Pasadena CA and devotee of the "I Am" movement founded by Theosophist Joseph Sieber Benner. Also known as the "Knowledge and Teachings of the Impersonal Life" "I Am" was an eccentric branch of theosophy that taught Christ proclaiming "I Am" indicated "the true spirit that resides in every human being." <br /> <br />The first book included is a copy of "I Am"'s key text Benner's THE IMPERSONAL LIFE 14th edition 1944 heavily annotated by Johnson. Underlining marginalia and other annotations abound with endpapers also filled "This is my life's philosophy and principle as follower: 'I will see beauty and goodness in all things. From all that is unlovely shall my vision be immune.'". These annotations are then further complimented by a series of striking and almost hieroglyphic cryptograms whose key is contained in the accompanying small notebook. This second leather-bound volume is divided into alphabetical tabs and comprises a directory or legend to these symbols which range from the esoteric and alchemical to the more ordinary and practical. Several additional cryptograms are contained in this second volume as well. <br /> <br />Taken together a strange but revealing look into California's experimentation with alternative movements and the formation or cult and counter-cult communities as well as peculiar work of outsider cryptography. Benner's work would go on to be taken up by the likes Guy Ballard and even Elvis Presley — who during the last 13 years of his life gave out hundreds of copies of THE IMPERSONAL LIFE and allegedly had a copy with him the night he died. hardcover books

Each volume is separately paginated. The wood pulp paper used in the first two years is truly execrable-About half of these issues have problems e.g. on Vol. I No. 1 the last two pages have broken in half a few with wrappers loose edges chipped. They upgraded the paper stock for the later years. A very good and early assemblage.Katherine Tingley founded the Theosophical Society's main U.S. branch at Point Loma California in 1900. After her death in 1929 Gottfried de Purucker took over as leader of that community. He was a much more dedicated researcher and writer and he is still highly thought of in theosophical circles. He authored many works including The Esoteric Tradition and Studies in Occult Philosophy. He sold the Lomaland estate in 1942 and moved the branch’s headquarters to Covina but died within months of the move. The Theosophical Society unknown

This was the mouthpiece of the United Lodge of Theosophists formed by Robert Crosbie in 1909. Crosbie was a student of William Judge who headed the American Division of the Theosophical Society. With the death of Blavatsky the leadership was thrown into disarray with Annie Besant heading the International Society and Katherine Tingley the American Society. In 1900 Crosbie threw his lot in with Tingley and moved to Lomaland but by 1904 he had grown disillusioned with her increasing theatricality and moved to South Pasadena and 5 years later founded the ULT. The United Lodge adhered tightly to the teachings of Blavatsky and paid no attention to either Tingley’s Kingdom in San Diego nor to the Maitreya of Annie Besant. In every issue they state “This Magazine is an independent journal unconnected with any theosophical society or other organization.†The ULT is likely the most active remaining theosophical group in the world.

Several pamphlets with wrappers detached many chipped along edges few ownership signatures. All complete and good or better. Housed in a beat up open box labeled "T.R.C. Pamphlets. <br /> <br /> Very interesting collection of esoteric health and science pamphlets many of which deal with the Anti-Vivisectionist movement of the first half of the 20th century. The holistic view of health and belief in the spiritual evolution of all living things which were core tenets of Theosophy provided a natural link to the Anti-Vivisectionist movement as well as that of women's suffrage. Several prominent Theosophists of the time took up both of these causes including Anna Kingsford Mabel Collins Gertrude Baillie-Weaver and others. <br /> <br /> The Theosophical Research Centre was founded in the 1920s as a reorganization of the Theosophical World University. Its members included doctors psychiatrists and scientists who carried out research on scientific supernatural religious and philosophical subjects in relation to Theosophy and published their findings. <br /> <br /> This collection includes:<br /> Proteus: A Journal of the Science Philosophy and Therapy of Nature Nos. 1-4 and 6 1931-32<br /> The Art of Breathing by F.E.

'2101' inscribed to front cover and beneath author's name on the title page; wrapper spine perished 1' from tail a bit worn around the edges but still mainly intact--remarkable given its fragility. Text clean and sound. Leonard Bosman was a Jewish fellow of the Theosophical Society of London and a prominent writer on the Kaballah and other esoteric fields. Following his teacher Elias Gewurtz Bosman was a prominent voice contending for the Kaballistic roots of Theosophy and the essential compatibility of the two traditions. Mysteries of the Qabalah was the first of six 'Esoteric Studies' in a series projected by the publisher of which only four were published. It was revised and reissued in 1915 and either of these Dharma Press editions are quite scarce this first edition showing only 8 holdings in OCLC. The Dharma Press paperback

192976692Sydney: Theosophical Society in Australia 1929-30. Edited by C. W. Leadbeater. Monthly. Octavo. Vol. V Nos. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1929-29. Vol. VI Nos. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1929. Vol. VII Nos. 2 3 5 6 1929-1930. Vol. VIII Nos. 1 3 1930. 20 issues. Printed in blue ink. Each volume is separately paginated. Numerous photographic illustrations. Publisher’s peach wrappers with lettering and decorations in blue. Some abrasion to spines but sturdy and clean throughout.We cannot best Pat Delavaney’s description so we present it here in it’s entirety; “From mid-1928 C.W. Leadbeater was editor of the journal. This was a fairly typical sectional journal of the Adyar Theosophists but its bland contents tolerance child welfare Indian independence practical domestic economy the World Mother messages from Leadbeater Annie Besant C.J. Jinarajadasa etc. conceal and gloss over the bitter internecine strife that preceded it. Dissatisfaction with the direction the Theosophical Society had taken under the guidance of Besant and Leadbeater had begun with Leadbeater's temporary expulsion from the T.S. in 1906 growing out of the accusations of Helen Dennis of Chicago about his "immoral sexual practices" with her son and another boy. Similar charges against Leadbeater and his protege James Wedgwood were made in Australia after World War I principally by Thomas Hammond Martyn - d. 1924 the head of the Sydney Lodge of the Society. Martyn besides his outrage over Leadbeater's and Wedgwood's sexual conduct also played a role in the bitter discussions over whether Besant had or had not said Wedgwood was an initiate -- and over whether she herself was an initiate or merely the dupe of Leadbeater. The furor in Australia centered around the Sydney Lodge and its attacks on the roles of Co-Masonry Krishnamurti the E.S. pederasty ceremonialism the "Back to Blavatsky" movement and the "T.S. Loyalty League." The convention of the Australian Section of the Society in 1922 was split leading to the expulsion of the Sydney Lodge the next year -- though it continued for decades as the Independent Theosophical Society. George Sydney Arundale 1878-1945 who edited this journal was General Secretary of the Australian Section 1926-1928 and went on to become third president of the T.S. in 1934. He was an English Theosophist prominent Co-Mason and bishop in the Liberal Catholic Church and firmly brought Theosophy in Australia back into the Besant-Leadbeater fold.†Krishnamurti broke with Theosophy in early August of 1929 and in the August 15 1929 of this periodical we find the below article - “Krishnaji Dissolved the Order of the Star.†The Order of the Star was the movement within the Theosophical Society that proclaimed Krishnamurti to be the World-Teacher/Messiah. And even before that in the issue of October of 1928 the lead article written by Leadbeater again was “Our Chief and Krishnaji I.e. Krishnamurti and it discusses the growing disparity between the teachings of Krishnamurti and those given by Annie Besant. The Australian Branch of the Theosophical Society was a continuous torn in its side as Leadbeater was determined to co-mingle Theosophy with his new Liberal Catholic Church. A Church found to be sorely lacking by the vast majority of sincere Theosophists. Theosophical Society in Australia unknown

196276694Penang: Dr. H. C. Yeang 1962-64. Edited by C H Yeang. Quarterly. Three issues. Vol. II Nos. 11 12 & 13. Printed in purple ink and with numerous ads for local Malaysian businesses. Publisher’s printed wrappers of various hues. Some aging but very good. None located by OCLC. Quite a vibrant publication. In the overall arc of Theosophy The Malaysian Theosophist is quite a late-comer but their enthusiasm makes up for it. Includes articles by Geoffrey Hodson Kut Humi Speaks Blavatsky’s Ascended Master Joel S. Goldsmith Sri Siddha Evangeline “LSD. 25 Mescaline Etc.â€. Adrienne Ashley Brown Landone & Martha Baker. In Vol. II. No. 12 April-September 1963 there is an article by Muhammad Subuh entitled “The Meaning and Purpose of Subudâ€. The first Subud periodical wasn’t published until 1964 but it did not contain any expository writings by Muhammad Subuh. He did publish some spiritual and autobiographical pieces is 1959 but this is almost surely his first published piece expounding upon Subud. Included in this lot is a separate publication ostensibly written by the same publisher/editor C. H. Yeang and it is uniform with the periodical in size and appearance. It is entitled “Hidden Secrets Revealed by ‘I AM’ that ‘I AM’.†It contains a listing of 53 metaphysical laws and is almost surely cribbed from various books published by Guy Ballard. The preface bears an inscription by Yeang and is dated 1963. As there are articles about such various movements as Baha’i and the Mazdaznan it would seem that this branch of the Theosophical Society was very un-doctrinaire. The covers all bear a variation of the Ballards’ I AM theosophical offshoot e.g. “WE ARE that I AMâ€. Dr. H. C. Yeang unknown

1939184453London: Theosophical Research Centre 1939. Guiding materialist physicians to "a deeper understanding of their patients" First edition of this textbook on spiritual medicine in the bright original cloth. In common with many spiritual developments originating in late 19th-century America theosophy contends that there is a deeper spiritual reality than that accessible through science and that direct contact with this reality can be established through transcendental practices. Some unrecognized factors in medicine applies these concerns to medical practice contending that it can lead the materialist physician "to a deeper understanding of their patients and explain much that is ignored or discounted when man is looked upon as a physical body only" p. 10. A small slip pasted onto the title page notes that this particular copy was "sold by The Theosophical Press Wheaton Illinois" the headquarters of the Theosophical Society in America. Octavo. Anatomical plate printed in red and black tables in the text. Original green cloth spine lettered in gilt. Light bumping and rubbing minor foxing to upper edge contents crisp: a very good copy indeed. hardcover

19286448Madras: Ganesh & Co 1928. First editions. 3 Vols 8vos 144 6; 10 1; and 60pp. Publisher's bindings of red cloth with printed paper labels; limp blue cloth covers with french flaps lettered in black; and blue cloth with printed label. Generally very good with chipping and toning to labels soiling to boards some scattered foxing. Owner's name in Surya-Gita else all clean internally. The Shrine partially split along spine of limp covers. <br /> <br /> Three scarce works from James Henry Cousins 1873-1956 Irish-Indian playwright and actor who left Ireland for India in 1915 at the behest of and funded by Annie Besant president of the Theosophical Society. The collection of poems Surya-Gita is actually three sequences of poetry which includes the first edition of the title sequence and second editions of The Garland of Life and Moulted Feathers which were published in 1917 and 1919. The Path to Peace is "An essay on cultural interchange and India's Contribution Thereto with a Prefatory Note on 'Mother India.'"<br /> <br /> Besides writing and publishing poetry and plays Cousins also became involved in theosophy vegetarianism and women's suffrage. His writings were heavily influenced by Blavatsky and he became close with then president of the Theosophical Society in Adyar Annie Besant. He wrote widely on theosophy Hinduism to which he converted in 1937 and the idea of "shared sensibilities" between Celtic and Indian peoples. Cousins' poetry is reflective of these ideas and beliefs and quite mystical in flavor. Ganesh & Co unknown
