19255544Berkeley: Sather Gate Book Shop 1925. Leaflet advertisement 18x12cm recto only. Nearly fine with instances of faint creasing and soiling. <br /> <br /> Interesting advertisement for a talk on mysticism and economics and including a reading of The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas by Rosicrucian Mabel Morrin Kellogg at the iconic Sather Gate Book Shop in Berkeley. Though the flyer is undated we find the title it advertises listed as a Recent Rosicrucian Publication in the May 1921 issue of Rays from the Rose Cross. <br /> <br /> We find Kellogg's name in various Bay Area papers as a "dramatic reader" as early as 1908. She was also a member of the Temple of the People a theosophical organization in Halcyon CA following the teachings of Madame Blavatsky.<br /> <br /> <br /> A wonderful piece of California occult ephemera. .

19509014London U.K.: Various 1950. 30 publications journals monographs offprints generally 8x6" or smaller various paginations. Staple bound in wrappers occasional illustration or diagram. 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.

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
