The Wolseley Hornet 1960s model

An upmarket version of the Mini

 

 

A 1930s Wolseley Hornet sports car

The bodywork for these was made to order by a coachbuilder

of the customer’s choice and there were many variations of this car.

The series ran from 1930 to 1935

 

 

 

The Wolseley Hornet both in its 1930s sports car

incarnation, and its 1960s posh mini version, has

very little (in fact nothing) to do with Theosophy

but we have found that Theosophists and new

enquirers do like pictures of classic cars

and we get a lot of positive feedback.

 

 

You can find Theosophy Wales groups in

Bangor, Cardiff, Conwy & Swansea

 

Theosophy Wales has no controlling body

and is made up of independent groups

who run their own show.

The Ancient Wisdom

by

Annie Besant

 

 

Theosophy Wales are pleased to present  The Ancient Wisdom , a core work on Theosophy written in 1897  by an early member and International President of the Adyar Theosophical Society.

 

Annie Besant introduces the Work in the following preface;

 

This book is intended to place in the hands of the general reader an epitome of theosophical teachings, sufficiently plain to serve the elementary student, and sufficiently full to lay a sound foundation for further knowledge. It is hoped that it may serve as an introduction to the profounder works of H.P.Blavatsky, and be a convenient steppingstone to their study.

 

Those who have learned a little of the Ancient Wisdom know the illumination, the peace, the joy, the strength, its lessons have brought into their lives. That this book may win some to con its teachings, and to prove for themselves their value, is the prayer with which it is sent forth into the world.

 

Annie Besant,

 

August 1897

A “G” reg  Aug 1968 – July 1969  Wolseley Hornet MK III

 

The 1960s Wolseley Hornet was produced by the British Motor Corporation

(BMC) from 1961 to 1969 and was upgraded thro’ MKI, II & III models

although the outward design remained the same.

The Wolseley Hornet was similar to the more expensive Riley Elf which ran

for the same period with only the Riley grill and badge to distinguish

it to the casual observer.

A 1931 Wolseley Hornet saloon style convertible

 

The Wolseley Hornet was a lightweight saloon car produced by the Wolseley Motor Company from 1930 to 1935.

 

It had a six cylinder (1271cc) engine with a single overhead cam, and hydraulic brakes. The engine was modified in 1932 to make it shorter and it was moved forwards on the chassis. In 1935 the engine size was increased to 1378 cc.

 

Wolseley supplied the firsts cars as either an enclosed saloon with steel or fabric body or open two seater. From 1931 it was available without the saloon body, and was used as the basis for a number of sporting specials for which the customer could choose a styling from a range of coachbuilders. In 1932 Wolsley added two and four seat coupés to the range. For its final year of production the range was rationalised to a standard saloon and coupé.

 

A three speed gearbox was fitted to the earliest cars but this was upgraded to a four speed in 1932 and fitted with synchromesh from 1933. A freewheel mechanism could be ordered in 1934.The engine was also used in a range of MG cars.

A leaflet promoting the new hydrolastic suspension introduced in the mid sixties.

This became standard on many BMC models including the Mini, 1100, 1300

& 1800 models. Suspension was maintained by means of a sealed fluid system

which was claimed to be very comfortable but appeared to make some people

seasick in the larger cars. As the cars got older, the suspension might burst

causing the car’s suspension to collapse on one side meaning a difficult

drive home or to a garage.

The Seven Principles of Man

Annie Besant

 

 

Annie Besant’s “The Seven Principles of Man” was written in 1909 and has long been recognized as an authoritative introduction to the Theosophical model of the visible and invisible aspects of ourselves.

 

Yes, we all operate at 7 levels

 

We’re all familiar with the physical body and to some people the physical body is the whole self.

 

It is, however, a bit more complicated than that and can be a bit of a shock for those who identify too closely with the physical self.

 

Our physical body represents only the visible manifestation of ourselves on the physical plane of nature. There are six other planes of nature and we are all represented on each one. To put in an appearance we have a body or principle corresponding to each plane. Anne Besant now takes you through the seven aspects that we all have.

 

 

Intoduction  The Dense Physical Body   The Etheric Double

 

Prana, The Life  The Desire Body  Manas, The Thinker, or Mind

 

The Quaternary, Or Four Lower Principles

 

Subtle Forms of The Fourth and Fifth Principle

 

The Higher Manas  Âtma – Buddhi, The Spirit  Manas in Activity

Tekels Park

Camberley, Surrey, England GU15 - 2LF

 

Tekels Park to be Sold to a Developer

Concerns are raised about the fate of the wildlife as

The Spiritual Retreat, Tekels Park in Camberley,

Surrey, England is to be sold to a developer

 

Tekels Park is a 50 acre woodland park, purchased

 for the Adyar Theosophical Society in England in 1929.

In addition to concern about the park, many are

 worried about the future of the Tekels Park Deer

as they are not a protected species.

 

Many feel that the sale of a sanctuary 

for wildlife to a developer can only mean 

disaster for the park’s animals

 

In addition to concern about the park, 

many are worried about the future 

of the Tekels Park Deer as they 

are not a protected species.

 

Confusion as the Theoversity moves out of 

Tekels Park to Southampton, Glastonbury & 

Chorley in Lancashire while the leadership claim

that the Theosophical Society will carry on using 

Tekels Park despite its sale to a developer

 

Anyone planning a “Spiritual” stay at the

Tekels Park Guest House should be aware of the sale.

 

Theosophy talks of a compassionate attitude

to animals and the sale of the Tekels Park

sanctuary for wildlife to a developer has

dismayed many Theosophists

 

No need for a Diploma in Finance and

even someone with a Diploma in Astral Travel

will know that this is a bad time economically

to sell Tekels Park and a good time to

pick up cheap land for development.
