  Studies in Occultism; A Series of Reprints from the Writings of H. P. Blavatsky No. 1: Practical Occultism—Occultism versus the Occult Arts—The Blessings of Publicity

summary:
  For whether we take as an example the holy love of a mother for her child, or that of a husband for his wife, even in these feelings, when analysed to the very bottom, and thoroughly sifted, there is still _selfishness_ in the first, and an _égoisme à deux_ in the second instance.

  The White Spark A New Book, Giving Out a New Philosophy and the Mysteries of the Universe. The Handbook of the Millennium and the New Dispensation

summary:
  I have in other publications explained that meat was a second-hand food, in which many life molecules were exploded (gelatine), and that the proteid portions of milk, eggs and vegetable foods contained CARTRIDGES OF LIFE AND POWER, that is, molecules having sulphur or phosphorus centers which under proper conditions formed VACO-CELLS, especially the germ of all seeds which is absent in fine flour usually. I had been in correspondence with Sir William Crookes, President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in England, and in connection with a scientific matter he had advised me to evaporate the water of a certain Spring, and it was in following out his directions that I found THE CENTER FORMING MOLECULAR ELEMENTS, which nature uses in forming foods.

  Then, Sarthia, our bright and well-beloved Vestal, will henceforth be known as Princess Nu-nah, and will be obliged for a time to live the life and perform the duties of the Princess. Princess Nu-nah will more than compensate you for all the kind attentions you now bestow upon her in the guiding, teaching and leading your soul in the paths to spiritual knowledge and the spiritual life, while still inhabiting the physical form.

summary:
  We shall understand how this can be so if we remember that koilon seems absolutely homogeneous and solid even when examined by a power of magnification which makes physical atoms appear in size and arrangement like cottages scattered over a lonely moor, and when we further add to this the recollection that the bubbles of which these atoms in turn are composed are themselves what may be not inaptly called fragments of nothingness. Before proceeding to the study of other chemical atoms, as to their general internal arrangements, it is desirable to follow out, in those already shown, the way in which these atoms break up into simpler forms, yielding successively what we have called proto-, meta-, and hyper-compounds.

summary:
  As we have explained in previous chapters, the Hermetists hold that the Principle of Rhythm manifests on the Mental Plane as well as on the Physical Plane, and that the bewildering succession of moods, feelings, emotions, and other mental states, are due to the backward and forward swing of the mental pendulum, which carries us from one extreme of feeling to the other. This Hermetic Principle was recognized by some of the early Greek philosophers who embodied it in their systems.

  The History of the Life and Adventures of Mr. Duncan Campell A Gentlen, who, tho' Deaf and Dumb, Writes down any Stranger's name at first Sight; with their future Contingencies of Fortune

summary:
  All his contrivances could not raise him above three thousand men, with whom he encamped in the Isle of Bute, where he was soon, in a manner besieged by the Earl of Dumbarton, with the king's forces, and several other bodies, commanded by the Duke of Gordon, the Marquis of Athol, the Earl of Arran, and other great men, who came from all parts to quench the fire before it grew to a head. No; men, and great men too, and scholars, and even statesmen, and princes themselves, have been tainted with superstitions, and where they infect the minds of such great personages, they make the deeper impression, according to the stronger and more manly ideas they have of them.

  A _key_, _nails_, or any piece of _iron_ placed on the table _instantaneously stopped_ the phenomena. But the same sum has been offered to any one who will prove that _spirits_ move tables, chairs, and the like, or that _spirits_ produce the noises and other manifestations ascribed to them.

  To rescue the moon from the supposed torture she was in, and to frustrate the charm, it was necessary to prevent her from hearing the magic words, by drowning in noise and hideous outcries, for which purpose the people used to assemble during an eclipse of the moon with _rough_ music, such as frying pans, brazen vessels, old tin kettles, etc. They retired into deep caves, where the darkness and silence resembled the state of death, and there fasted, and lay upon the skins of the beasts they had sacrificed, and then gave for answer the dreams which most affected them; or opened a certain book appointed for that purpose, and gave the first sentence that offered.[10] At other times the priest, or any person who came to consult, took care at his going out of the cave, to listen to the first words he should hear, and these were to be his answer.

This work was published in two volumes, and the authenticity of its details supported by Gorres, Eschenmeyer, and other men of character and reputation in Germany: it is said to have had an immense sale.

  In this condition, their soul is for the moment freed from the bondage in which it is held by its earthy companion, and such men become clairvoyants and prophets, or they are enabled actually to affect other men at a distance, in various ways. History records, besides, numerous cases in which the credulity of great men has been played upon for purposes of policy and statecraft.

  You understand also that, although of human form, I am not as other men (for with me matter is subservient to mind), and as you have promised, so you must act, and do my bidding concerning the manuscript. Let those who presume to criticise the intellectual productions of such men be careful; in a few days the dead will face their censors--dead.
