£3000 Bequest to
Regional Association
In early 2009 the Regional Association of the
Theosophical Society in Wales
(Formed 1993) received a tremendous financial boost with the receipt of a
pecuniary bequest of £3000 from a Theosophical Society member.
Great things are now anticipated at the
Lodges affiliated to the Regional Association of Swansea,
Bangor & Conwy.
Regional Association Organising Secretary,
Julie Cunningham has not revealed the name of the benefactor but it is
understood that the pecuniary bequest came from a member who died in 2008 and
that the money was exclusively left to the Regional Association of the
Theosophical Society in Wales (Formed 1993)

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

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

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.
