227p. Lacks front fly leaf. 8vo. Original full red cloth binding, worn. "Jan Karel Van Baalen described cults as non-Christian religions but included those groups which had their roots in Christianity while denying what he considered its essential teaching. According to VanBaalen, all religions could be divided into two groups, those which ascribe to humans the ability to accomplish their own salvation and those which ascribe that ability to God. The latter group is called Christianity. All other religion fits into the first group. In The Chaos of Cults, which went through numerous editions from its first appearance in 1938, Van Baalen analyzed various non-Christian religions in the light of Christian teachings." - From a description of the 1981 edition.

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

br. In questo libro viene data una descrizione di alcune parti del mondo supersensibile. Colui che vuol dar valore soltanto al mondo fisico, giudicherà tale descrizione un parto vano della fantasia: ma chi desidera cercare le vie che conducono fuori del mondo dei sensi, comprenderà subito, che è soltanto per mezzo della conoscenza di un altro mondo, che la vita umana acquista valore e importanza. Non è giustificato il timore di molti, che in causa di simili cognizioni l'uomo venga distolto dalla vita cosiddetta «reale»: ché anzi, soltanto per mezzo di esse egli diverrà capace di prendere una posizione salda e sicura in questa vita, imparando a conoscerne le cause, mentre senza tali cognizioni è obbligato a cercarsi a tastoni, come un cieco, la via, attraverso gli effetti. La «realtà» sensibile acquista significato soltanto per mezzo della conoscenza del supersensibile; e perciò chi la possiede diventa, non inabile, bensì più abile alla vita. Soltanto colui che comprende interamente la vita, può divenire un uomo veramente «pratico».
brossura Fondatore della Scienza dello spirito antroposofica che vede l'uomo come punto nodale del divenire cosmico, Steiner espone in questo volume (considerato una summa del suo pensiero) i fondamenti della teoria teosofica affrontandone i temi basilari: la natura dell'uomo, la sua triplice composizione di corpo, anima e spirito, la reincarnazione, la conoscenza del mondo soprasensibile.

br. In questo libro si vuol dare una descrizione di alcune parti del mondo soprasensibile. Chi voglia ammettere soltanto quello sensibile, riterrà tale descrizione un vacuo prodotto della fantasia. Ma chi voglia cercar le vie che conducono fuori del mondo dei sensi, arriverà presto a comprendere che la vita umana acquista valore e significato soltanto se si penetri con lo sguardo in un altro mondo. Questa penetrazione non distoglie l'uomo, come molti temono, dalla vita "reale". Poiché solo per tale via egli impara a star saldo e sicuro nella vita. Impara a conoscerne le cause, mentre, se le ignora, muove a tastoni, come un cieco attraverso gli effetti. Solo dalla conoscenza del mondo soprasensibile la "realtà" sensibile acquista significato. Perciò questa conoscenza accresce, non diminuisce, la nostra capacità alla vita. Può diventare un uomo realmente "pratico" soltanto chi comprenda la vita.
