Theosophical Texts are aids to the creative imagination, fusing metaphysics and ethics, arousing spiritual intuition and awakening soul-memory. Gupta Vidya is the hidden golden thread behind Philosophia Perennis, the accumulated wisdom of the ages. Enshrined in the language of glyph and symbol, sutra and mantra, in the secluded sanctuaries of the time-honoured Mysteries, it provided a powerful stimulus to a galaxy of fabled, forgotten and surviving civilizations around the globe. The founders of the modern Theosophical Movement, H.P. Blavatsky and W.Q. Judge, brought the sacred inheritance of humanity within the reach of intrepid seekers of wisdom in our own time. With the dawn of the Aquarian Age there is a fresh concern with secular monasticism and a way of life based upon authentic use of ancient wisdom as noetic theurgy, of Gupta Vidya as Brahma Vach. The thoughtful essays in this series of volumes are invaluable for those seeking the path of spiritual self-regeneration in the service of humanity.

NOETIC PSYCHOLOGY
Awakening the Higher Mind
Noetic Psychology consists of sixteen essays which expound the nature and potential of consciousness from a universal and spiritual perspective. Ranging from discussion of after-death states to the dual nature of mind, from the subject-object distinction to criteria for truth, and from levels of consciousness to the value of meditation, each essay explores an aspect of human nature and offers practical suggestions for living one's life on a sound basis. The volume includes H.P. Blavatsky's definitive article, "Psychic and Noetic Action", and two modern classics by K.S. Lakshminarayan on "The Mystery of the Ego" and "Noetic Discrimination".

CIVILIZATION, DEATH AND REGENERATION
Twelve essays explore the ethical and spiritual predicament of modern civilization and indicate the directions in which civilization must be revitalized to serve the deeper needs of human souls. In two essays H.P. Blavatsky shows the complex contradictions inherent in modern thought and life.
Murdhna Jyoti indicates the interplay between individual choices and collective karma, whilst George William Russell points to the rekindling of perennial aspirations. K.S. Lakshminarayan deals with the inherited conceptions and the essential core of the seven deadly sins and, in a separate essay, provides a fresh standpoint in relation to historical trends and noetic causation.

DEATH AND IMMORTALITY
Change and Continuity
Twelve illuminating essays treat the subject of death and the prospect of conscious immortality for every human being. "The Post Mortem States" and "The Sutratma" by H.P. Blavatsky indicate the complex aftermath of physical death and the principle of monadic continuity that determines involuntary and voluntary reincarnation. "The Desire to Live" indicates the tenacity of tanha, the craving for embodied existence. "Adeptship" and "Individuality and Nirvana" by D.K. Mavalankar examine the conditions necessary for attaining nirvana and dispel common misconceptions.
"The Sheaths of the Soul" and "Upanishads on Rebirth" by W.Q. Judge consider the diverse causes of involuntary incarnation. "Kamaloka and Devachan" and "Time in Devachan" provide a detailed account of the post mortem states experienced by most individuals.
K.S. Lakshminarayan concludes the volume with "Death and Immortality", a lucid exposition of Tibetan Buddhist concepts of immortality and rebirth.

HUMAN SOLIDARITY
Universal Brotherhood
Eight important essays examine the problems and prospects of human solidarity. "The Brotherhood of Humanity" sets forth the essential requirements for universal brotherhood as well as the present predicament of the intelligentsia and the masses. "Christendom and Islam", written in 1880 by a Turkish effendi, considers the convergence of world-views and indicates the immense degradation resulting from the inversion of spiritual and ethical standards. In "The Fall of Ideals" H.P. Blavatsky links the turmoil of recent centuries with the suppression of human freedom and the aberrations of Promethean defiance. W.Q. Judge, in "Points of Agreement in all Religions" and "How Should We Treat Others?", shows the roots of human solidarity and their concrete implications in daily life. The volume concludes with "Nepenthe", a stirring extract from Percy Bysshe Shelley's Prometheus Unbound.

RAJA YOGA
Integration and Insight
Raja Yoga consists of eight essays on the most exalted and exacting form of yoga. "Psychic and Noetic Action" by H.P. Blavatsky sets forth the fundamental distinction between creative and imitative consciousness in terms of volition and response, intuitive insight and passive suggestibility. "Occultism Versus the Occult Arts" shows the vital difference between developing psychic powers and gaining spriritual wisdom, and "Chelas and Lay Chelas" and "Practical Occultism" indicate the mental and moral preparation needed to tread the path of Raja Yoga.

THE MYSTERY OF THE AVATAR
The Divine Descent
Beginning with "The Vision of the Divine Dance" from the Kurma Purana Samhita, nine contributions consider the complex metaphysical doctrine of the Avatar and the decisive impulse given to human evolution. "The Flute of Krishna" from the journal Hermes shows how every authentic quest is a way of approaching the Avatar and points to the Bhagavad Gita as a quintessential guide on the path of spiritual devotion.
Six articles by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky seek to unravel the mystery of the Avatar. "The Doctrine of Avataras" sets forth the complexities of the concept of the Avatar and shows that all Avatars are ultimately one in their divine source. "The Seven Principles" and "The Mystery of Buddha" suggest the close connection of Buddha to the Avataric impulse. "Reincarnations of Buddha" provides the broader perspective in which Gautama Buddha's spiritual mission recurs and ramifies through the centuries. "An Unpublished Discourse of Buddha" and "Nirvana-Moksha" point to the exalted states of consciousness attained by those who achieve self-conscious immortality.
"Between Heaven and Earth" links the Avataric impulse with the unwritten history of human evolution and invites the intuitive to participate in the redemption of sullied consciousness and the laying down of the philosophical foundations of the noetic civilization of the future.
