Part 1. The “Fiery Waters” of Aether is Divine Substance expanding from within without the “Garment of God,” woven from its own Essence. The Fiery Waters of Aether is Divine Substance expanding from within without, the Garment of God (veil and cloak of Truth) woven from its own Essence. There is nothing new except what is forgotten. Miracles are perfectly natural acts, always in accordance with natural law. Kurios is Mercury, Divine Wisdom, and Mercury is the Sun, from whom Thoth-Hermes received his divine wisdom. Hercules is also the Sun, the celestial storehouse of Universal Magnetism. Æther is the Celestial Virgin, the spiritual mother of every existing form and being, from whose bosom, as soon vivified and fructified by the Divine Spirit, are called into existence Matter and Life, Force and Action. All ancient legends begin with that period when nascent vapours and Cimmerian darkness lay brooding over a fluid mass, ready to start on its journey of activity at the first flutter of the breath of Him, who is the Unrevealed One. Him they felt, yet they saw Him not. From the boundless expansion of cosmic matter, which had formed itself under God’s Breath or Will, this creative, evolving principle, by setting in motion the potencies latent in it, formed suns, stars, and satellites. The serpent of the gospel myth is a magnetic current formed by a chain of pernicious wills. That is how base natures can be driven headlong by the blind forces set in motion by greed, lust, and sin. Man, master thyself before attempting to exercise magical power! The “evil eye” is nothing but the direction of silent will, an invisible fluid charged with malicious desire and hatred, and sent out from one person to another with the intention of harming him. Will may be employed for a good or evil purpose. The one is magic or theurgia; the other, sorcery or goëtia. Mind wills; matter obeys. The mysterious effects of attraction and repulsion are the unconscious agents of will; fascination, such as exercised by some animals, and by serpents over birds, for example, is a conscious action of it, and the result of thought. In-depth knowledge of Cosmogony is an imperative prerequisite for Inner Wisdom. As the reptile, upon casting his coat, becomes freed from a casing of gross matter and resumes its existence with renewed activity, so man, by casting off the gross material body, enters upon the next stage of his existence with greater powers and quickened vitality. Lofty mountains, eggs, trees, snakes, and pillars, they all embody scientifically demonstrated truths of natural philosophy. Mountains are allegories of primal cosmogony; trees, of the simultaneous evolution of spirit and matter; snakes and pillars, are symbolical memorials of various attributes of the parallel evolution of two opposing forces, eternally reacting upon each other. The mundane tree of the Hindus is the Ashvattha, with branches extending downward and roots upward. Comparative study of ancient cosmogonies demonstrates that in those ages, which are shut out from our sight by the impenetrable mist of tradition, religious thought developed in uniform sympathy in every portion of the globe. The Egyptian Pyramid is another symbol of Universal Life. Archaic double-sexed deities in dual cosmogonic myths, representing the physico-chemical principle of primordial creation, loudly proclaim their hidden meaning. Mithras is the son of Bordj, the Persian mundane mountain. Shiva is personated by Meru (Himalaya), the mundane mountain of the Hindus. Christianity metamorphosed the ingenious myth of the Serpent into Satan, the Prince of Darkness. Part 2. On the Invisible World of Elements, Elementals, and Elementaries. God or the infinite and uncreated spirit, a divine substance of the highest virtue and excellency, produced everything else by emanative causality. The world is underpinned by magnetic sympathy or attraction between men, animals, plants, and even minerals. More! Each planet is inhabited by spiritual beings, who exercise influences over other beings inhabiting more gross and material spheres than their own, and especially over our earth. There is only one magnet in the universe, and this is the Central Spiritual Sun. From It proceeds the magnetization of everything else. There are two kinds of magnetic attraction, sympathy and fascination; the one is holy and natural; the other, unholy and unnatural. The magnetism of pure love is the originator of every created thing. In its ordinary sense, love between the sexes is electricity. Athanasius Kircher calls sensual love the fever of species; Éliphas Lévi, an intoxication of the astral light. Man is a little world inside the great universe. Like a fœtus, he is suspended by three spirits in the matrix of the Macrocosmos. The Pythagorean Monas, which lives “in solitude and darkness,” may remain on this earth forever invisible and impalpable. When, by successive transformations throughout the ages, this once impalpable Atom finds itself reclothed in that primordial essence, which is identical with that of its Creator, then the Sons of God will once more “shout for joy” at the return of the Pilgrim. Man possesses a double celestial power, and his triple nature stands in relationship to all things. Being the mirror of the universe, man is allied to heaven. Music exercises a singular therapeutic power over certain diseases, especially those of the nervous class. Dire are the consequences of abusing magnetic powers. Only the pure in heart can heal the ills of the body. Magical powers are never possessed by those addicted to vicious indulgences. It is not always the minds which are the most “scientifically trained” that are the best in matters of simple common sense and honest truth. Have they not, these Titans of thought, dragged down God from His hiding-place, and given us instead a protoplasm? A presumptuous scepticism that rejects facts without examination of their truth is, in some respects, more injurious than unquestioning credulity. The perpetual lamps of alchemy stand for the incorruptible and immortal spirit. The Egyptians, more than any other people, hoped that their ever-burning lamp would help the material soul to part with its earthly dwelling, and unite forever with its divine counterpart. A Cypriote knight had both flax and linen made out of asbestos, which were cleaned by simply throwing them in the fire. A similarly made gown, such as the Buddhist monks wear, thrown into a large pit full of glowing coals and taken out two hours afterward, was as clear as if it had been washed with soap and water. Magic in prehistoric periods had a part in the mysteries. The greatest phenomena, the so-called miracles, rested on the arcane knowledge of the ancient priests of physics and all the branches of chemistry, or rather alchemy. The twins brothers, Castor and Pollux, are personifications of the twin polarity of electricity and magnetism. The Dioscouroi constantly die and return to life together for it is absolutely necessary that one should die that the other may live. In their unbounded glorification of matter, our physicists proclaim matter the sole and autocratic sovereign of a Boundless Universe. If they could, they would forcibly divorce matter from her consort, and place the widowed queen on the great throne of nature made vacant by the exiled spirit. The Platonic philosophy was one of order, system, and proportion. It embraced the evolution of worlds and species, the correlation and conservation of energy, the transmutation of material form, and the indestructibility of matter and of spirit. Plato’s method, like that of geometry, was to descend from universals to particulars. In the same manner as lovers gradually advance from that beauty, which is apparent, to that which is divine; so the ancient priests attributed the alliance and sympathy between natural things to the underlying interconnectedness of all things. The Divine Proclus pointed out certain mysterious peculiarities of plants, minerals, and animals, all of which are well known to our naturalists, but none of which are explained. Proclus, who combined Theosophy and Theurgy, also advocated a divine science that is firmly and solely based on the mysterious affinities between organic and inorganic bodies, the visible productions of the four kingdoms, and the invisible powers of the universe. Persons have been known to fall sick simultaneously with the uprooting of a tree planted upon their natal day, and dying when the tree died. Alas! The divine intellect is veiled in man; his animal brain alone philosophises. In spiritually fertile periods the occult powers of plants, animals, and minerals magically sympathize with the “superior natures,” and the divine soul of man is in perfect rapport with these “inferior” ones. Formerly, magic was a universal science, entirely in the hands of the sacerdotal savant. Though the focus was jealously guarded in the sanctuaries, its rays illuminated the whole of mankind. There is nothing new under the Sun. Yet, modern scientists have reaped more palms and laurels for their great “discoveries” than Lucretius, Cicero, Plutarch, and Seneca had hairs on their heads. Plutarch said that an idea has no subsistence by itself, but gives figure and form to shapeless matter and becomes the cause of its manifestation.

In 'HELENA BLAVATSKY Premium Collection', readers are presented with a meticulously curated anthology of Blavatsky's most significant works, illustrating her profound influence on modern esotericism and spiritual thought. Blavatsky employs a highly didactic and philosophical literary style, weaving together elements of Eastern mysticism, Western occultism, and theosophy. The collection encompasses pivotal texts such as 'The Secret Doctrine' and 'Isis Unveiled', which delve into universal truths, karma, and the evolution of consciousness, demonstrating her ability to synthesize complex ideas into accessible prose for the spiritual seeker. Through her innovative approach, she establishes a dialogue between science and spirituality, reflective of the late 19th-century quest for a deeper understanding of existence. Helena Blavatsky was a multifaceted figure, co-founding the Theosophical Society in 1875 and traveling extensively, gathering knowledge from diverse spiritual traditions, which deeply informed her writings. Her esoteric philosophy sought to illuminate the interconnectedness of all religious traditions, and her charismatic personality made her a pivotal shaper of spiritual discourse in her time. Blavatsky's mission was, in part, to revive the ancient wisdom of past traditions, establishing her as a bridge between Eastern and Western spiritual thought. This collection is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of spirituality, esotericism, and the foundations of modern mystical traditions. Blavatsky's works challenge readers to explore the depths of their own beliefs, making it a vital resource for scholars and spiritual seekers alike. Engaging with this Premium Collection will enrich your understanding of the profound questions surrounding existence, purpose, and the universe.

Nearly twenty-five hundred years ago the Greek thinker Heraclitus supposedly uttered the cryptic words "Phusis kruptesthai philei." How the aphorism, usually translated as "Nature loves to hide," has haunted Western culture ever since is the subject of this engaging study by Pierre Hadot. Taking the allegorical figure of the veiled goddess Isis as a guide, and drawing on the work of both the ancients and later thinkers such as Goethe, Rilke, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger, Hadot traces successive interpretations of Heraclitus' words. Over time, Hadot finds, "Nature loves to hide" has meant that all that lives tends to die; that Nature wraps herself in myths; and (for Heidegger) that Being unveils as it veils itself. Meanwhile the pronouncement has been used to explain everything from the opacity of the natural world to our modern angst. From these kaleidoscopic exegeses and usages emerge two contradictory approaches to nature: the Promethean, or experimental-questing, approach, which embraces technology as a means of tearing the veil from Nature and revealing her secrets; and the Orphic, or contemplative-poetic, approach, according to which such a denuding of Nature is a grave trespass. In place of these two attitudes Hadot proposes one suggested by the Romantic vision of Rousseau, Goethe, and Schelling, who saw in the veiled Isis an allegorical expression of the sublime. "Nature is art and art is nature," Hadot writes, inviting us to embrace Isis and all she represents: art makes us intensely aware of how completely we ourselves are not merely surrounded by nature but also part of nature.

Madame Blavatsky's Victorian-era masterpiece is now scaled down to its essentials, providing the most readable, accessible experience ever of one of history's seminal occult works. The Secret Doctrine, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's masterwork on the origin and evolution of the universe and humanity itself, is arguably the most famous, and perhaps the most influential, occult book ever written. Published since 1888 only in expensive, two-volume editions of some 1,400 pages, it has long eluded the grasp of modern readers- until now. This single-volume edition, abridged and annotated by historian and Theosophical scholar Michael Gomes, places the ideas of The Secret Doctrine within reach of all who are curious. In particular, Gomes provides a critical sounding of the book's famous stanzas on the genesis of life and the cosmos- mysterious passages that Blavatsky said originated from a primeval source and which form the heart of The Secret Doctrine. Gomes scrupulously scales down the book's key writings on symbolism to their essentials, and offers notes and a glossary to illuminate arcane references. His historical and literary introduction casts new light on some of the book's sources and on the career of its brilliant and elusive author, one of the most intriguing personages of the nineteenth century. At once compact and representative of the work as a whole, this new edition of The Secret Doctrine brings unprecedented accessibility to the key esoteric classic of the modern era.

Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... MAN'S YEARNING FOR IMMORTALITY 37 that melancholy can throw at a man, to tell him that he is at the end of his nature, or that there is no future state to come, unto which this seems progressive, and otherwise made in vain." Let any religion offer itself that can supply these proofs in the shape of scientific facts, and the established system will be driven to the alternative of fortifying its dogmas with such facts, or of passing out of the reverence and affection of Christendom. Many a Christian divine has been forced to acknowledge that there is no authentic source whence the assurance of a future state could have been derived by man. How could then such a belief have stood for countless ages, were it not that among all nations, whether civilized or savage, man has been allowed the demonstrative proof? Is not the very existence of such a belief an evidence that thinking philosopher and unreasoning savage have both been compelled to acknowledge the testimony of their senses? That if, in isolated instances, spectral illusion may have resulted from physical causes, on the other hand, in thousands of instances, apparitions of persons have held converse with several individuals at once, who saw and heard them collectively, and could not all have been diseased in mind? The greatest thinkers of Greece and Rome regarded such matters as demonstrated facts. They distinguished the apparitions by the names of manes, anima and umbra: the manes descending after the decease of the individual into the Underworld; the anima, or pure spirit, ascending to heaven; and the restless umbra (earth-bound spirit) hovering about its tomb, because the attraction of matter and love of its earthly body prevailed in it and prevented its ascension to higher regions....
