Wales
is a Principality within the United
Kingdom and has an eastern border
with England.
The land area is just over 8,000 square miles. Snowdon is the highest mountain at
3,650 feet. The coastline is almost 750 miles long. The population of Wales
as at the 2001 census is 2,946,200.

The Family Tree of
Indo-European Languages
Brittonic
or Brithonic refers to the Celtic language spoken in
Britain which eventually broke up into Cumbric,
Welsh, Cornish and Breton.
Cumbric
or Cumbrian was the Celtic language spoken in Cumbria,
North West England
and which died out in the middle ages. There is not enough written Cumbric surviving to reconstruct the language but some
shepherds in the Lake District
are known to count their sheep in Cumbric.
The last native speaker of Cornish, the
Celtic language of Cornwall
in South West England,
died in 1774 but the Cornish language has been revived.
Welsh in Wales and Breton in Brittany,
Northern France still flourish as working official languages with both native
and new speakers.
Native Breton speakers can usually
understand Cornish. This is because the Bretons are descended from Celts who
migrated to Brittany (France) from South West Britain during the Anglo-Saxon
invasion.

Quotes from the Writings of
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
Blavatsky Quotation
That which is to be shunned is pain not yet come. The
past cannot be changed or amended; that which belongs to the experience of the
present cannot and should not be
shunned; but alike to be shunned are disturbing anticipations or fears of the future, and every act or impulse that may
cause present or future pain to ourselves or others.
Practical Occultism, Page 87
Blavatsky Quotation
Perfection, to be fully such, must be born out of
imperfection, the incorruptible must grow out of the corruptible, having the
latter as its vehicle and basis and contrast
The Secret Doctrine , Volume
2, Page 100
Blavatsky
Quotation
It is only by the attractive force of the contrasts
that the two opposites — Spirit and Matter — can be cemented together on
Earth, and, smelted in the fire of self-conscious experience and suffering, find
themselves wedded in Eternity.
The Secret Doctrine , Volume
2, Page 108
Blavatsky
Quotation
Strength to step forward is the primary need of him
who has chosen his path. Where is this to be found? Looking round, it is not
hard to see where other men find their strength. Its source is profound
conviction.
Practical Occultism, Page 67
Blavatsky
Quotation
It is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes
any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is
impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of
selfishness remaining in the operator .... The powers
and forces of animal nature can equally be used by the selfish and revengeful,
as by the unselfish and the all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend
themselves only to the perfectly pure in heart — and this is Divine Magic.
Practical Occultism, Page 7
Blavatsky
Quotation
Finite reason agrees with science,
and says: “There is no God”. But, on the other hand, our Ego, that which lives
and thinks and feels independently of us in our mortal casket, does more than
believe. It knows that there exists a God in nature, for the sole and
invincible Artificer of all lives in us as we live in Him. No dogmatic faith or
exact science is able to uproot that intuitional feeling inherent in man, when
he has once fully realised it in himself.
Isis Unveiled, Volume 1, Page 36
Blavatsky Quotation
It may be a pleasant dream to attempt
to conceive of the beauties of the spirit world; but the time can be spent more
profitably in a study of the spirit itself, and it is not necessary that the
subject for study should be in the spirit world.
Modern Panarion
Page 70
Blavatsky
Quotation
Physical existence is subservient to
the spiritual, and all physical improvement and progress are only the auxiliaries
of spiritual progress, without which there could be no physical progress.
Modern Panarion
Page 78
Blavatsky
Quotation
Mankind — the majority at any rate —
hates to think for itself. It resents as an insult the humblest invitation to
step for a moment outside the old well-beaten tracks and, judging for itself,
to enter into a new path in some fresh direction.
The Secret Doctrine
, Volume 3, Page 14
Blavatsky
Quotation
Even ignorance is better than
Head-learning with no Soul-wisdom to illuminate and guide it.
The
Voice of the Silence, Page 43
Blavatsky
Quotation
Many
theosophists have had slight conscious relations with elementals, but always
without their will acting, and upon trying to make elementals see, hear or act
for them, a total indifference on the part of the nature spirit is all they
have got in return. These failures are due to the fact that the elemental
cannot understand the thought of the person; it can only be reached when the
exact scale of being to which it belongs is vibrated, whether it be that of
colour, form, sound, or whatever else
Annotation - The
Path, May, 1888
Blavatsky Quotation
Parabrahman is not “God” because It is not a
God. “It is that which is supreme, and not supreme”.
....It is supreme as cause, not supreme as effect.
The Secret Doctrine , Proem [Volume 1], Page 35
Blavatsky
Quotation
The ancients ..... fully realised the
fact that the reciprocal relations between the planetary bodies is as perfect
as those between the corpuscles of the blood, which float in a common fluid;
and that each one is affected by the combined influence of all the rest, as
each in its turn affects each of the others.
Isis, Volume 1,
Page 275
Blavatsky
Quotation
Strength to step
forward is the primary need of him who has chosen his path. Where is this to be
found? Looking round, it is not hard to see where other men find their
strength. Its source is profound conviction.
Practical
Occultism, Page 67
Blavatsky Quotation
There are two
kinds of magnetic attraction: sympathy and fascination; the one holy and
natural, the other evil and unnatural.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, Page 210
Blavatsky
Quotation
In the
phenomenal and Cosmic World Fohat is that occult,
electric, vital power, which, under the Will of the Creative Logos, unites and
brings together all forms, giving them the first impulse, which in time becomes
law.
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 1, Page 134
Blavatsky
Quotation
Oaths will never
be binding till each man will fully understand that humanity is the highest manifestation
on earth of the Unseen Supreme Deity, and each man an
incarnation of his God; and when the sense of personal responsibility
will be so
developed in him that he will consider forswearing the greatest
possible insult to himself, as well as to humanity. No oath is now binding,
unless taken by one who, without any oath at all,
would solemnly keep his simple promise of honour.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 2, Page 374
Blavatsky
Quotation
It is the
motive, and the motive alone, which makes any exercise of power become
black, malignant, or
white, beneficent Magic. It is impossible to employ spiritual forces if there
is the slightest tinge of selfishness remaining in the operator
.... The powers and forces of animal nature can equally be used by the
selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish and the all-forgiving; the powers
and forces of spirit lend themselves only to the perfectly pure in heart — and
this is Divine Magic.
Practical
Occultism, Page 7
Blavatsky
Quotation
Woe to those who
live without suffering. Stagnation and death is the future of all that
vegetates without change. And how can there be any change for the better
without proportionate suffering during the preceding stage?
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 498
Blavatsky
Quotation
The person who
is endowed with this faculty of thinking about even the most trifling things
from the higher plane of thought has, by virtue of that gift which he
possesses, a plastic power of formation, so to say, in his very imagination.
Whatever such a person may think about, his thought will be so far more intense
than the thought of an ordinary person, that by this very intensity it obtains
the power of creation.
Lucifer,
December, 1888
Blavatsky
Quotation
Finite reason
agrees with science, and says: “There is no God”. But, on the other hand, our
Ego, that which lives and thinks and feels independently of us in our mortal
casket, does more than believe. It knows that there exists a God in nature, for
the sole and invincible Artificer of all lives in us as we live in Him. No
dogmatic faith or exact science is able to uproot that intuitional feeling
inherent in man, when he has once fully realised it
in himself.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, Page 36
Blavatsky
Quotation
Our voice is
raised for spiritual freedom, and our plea made for enfranchisement from all tyranny, whether of Science
of Theology.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, I2.
Blavatsky
Quotation
If through the
Hall of Wisdom thou wouldst reach the Vale of Bliss, Disciple, close fast thy
senses against the great dire heresy of Separateness that weans thee from the
rest.
Voice of the
Silence, Page 23
Blavatsky
Quotation
From strength to
strength, from the beauty and perfection of one plane to the
greater beauty and perfection of another, with accessions of new
glory, of fresh
knowledge and power in each cycle, such is the destiny of every
Ego, which thus
becomes its own saviour in each world
and incarnation.
The Key to
Theosophy, Page 105
Blavatsky
Quotation
The assertion
that “Theosophy is not a Religion” , by no means
excludes the fact that “Theosophy is Religion” itself. A religion in the true
and only correct sense is a bond uniting men together — not a particular set of
dogmas and beliefs. Now Religion, per se, in its widest meaning is that which
binds not only all Men but also all Beings and all things in the entire
Universe into one grand whole.
Lucifer,
November, 1888
Blavatsky Quotation
The Present is
only a mathematical line which divides that part of Eternal Duration which we
call the Future from that part which we call the Past
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 1, Page 69
Blavatsky Quotation
The mind
receives indelible impressions even from chance acquaintance or persons
encountered but once. As a few seconds' exposure of the sensitized
photographic plate is all that is requisite to preserve indefinitely the image
of the sitter, so is it with the mind.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, Page 311
Blavatsky
Quotation
“Beneficent Magic” ,
so called, is divine magic, devoid of selfishness, love of power, of ambition
or lucre, and bent only on doing good, to the world in general and one's neighbour in particular. The smallest attempt to use one's
abnormal powers for the gratification of self makes of these powers sorcery or
black magic.
The Key to Theosophy, Page 228
Blavatsky
Quotation
Believing in a
spiritual and invisible Universe, we cannot conceive of it in any other way
than as completely dovetailing and corresponding with the material, objective
Universe; for logic and observation alike teach us that the latter is the
outcome and visible manifestation of the former, and that the laws governing
both are immutable.
