Tantra The union of male/female forces in the body
that evokes the wisdom principle and hence highest spiritual awareness. Often
distorted into lower sex yoga practices.
Triad Atma, buddhi, manas - expression of the Monad.
Transfiguration The stage upon the Path of Initiation
wherein the third initiation is undergone, when the personality is irradiated
by the full light of the soul and the three personality vehicles are completely
transcended; these vehicles have become simply forms through which spiritual
love may flow out into the world of men in the salvaging task of creation.
Transmutation Esoterically, the mode whereby force is
changed into energy; the method whereby that which is lower is absorbed by the
higher; the achieving of a correct sense of proportion in relation to any phase
of life; the liberation of the essence in order that it may seek a new center;
the passage across from one state of being to another through the agency of
fire; an achievement and not a process.
Unity The conscious adaptation of the initiated
disciple to the greater Whole, as his absorption into the group through his
obedience to the laws of the soul, and as governing his attitude to that in
which he lives and moves and has his being. Unity is achieved and is the reward
of action and effort. Isolated unity describes the stage which the Master has
reached. Isolated identity (with the soul) is that of the disciple up to and
including the third initiation. Isolated individuality is that of the disciple.
Vedas Most sacred and ancient of Sanskrit works,
written in hymn form.
Way of Higher Evolution This way is related to the
spiritual condition and purpose of the Monad whose goal is ot expansion of
consciousness, but of that which such expansions of consciousness will reveal -
a very different matter and one which is as yet entirely meaningless to anyone
who has not taken the third initiation; the Christ and His great Brothers, and
all of even higher initiate-rank than They possess, have a definite goal, but
it is one which will only define itself clearly in the third solar system, the
system in which the Will of God is the dominant idea, as the Love of God
conditions this system in which we now function; this is not consciousness or
awareness; it is a stage of Being which is connected with the Law of Sacrifice
- the law which governs those states of being which grow out of the
establishment of right human relations. (see Sacrifice, Path)
Wesak A festival which occurs at the Taurus full moon
every year, celebrating the birth of the Buddha, and where the Hierarchy gather
to receive newly released forces to the planet. A time for Initiation.
Wheels This term indicates the great wheel of changing
life in which the human entities have been called upon to work and which must
never be abandoned, out of compassion for man and in obedience to the Law of
Oneness which connects many.
Will Desire formulated so clearly and carried so
powerfully to an intelligent climax that the mode of its materialisation is
grasped with such accuracy and energised with such intent that the result is
inescapable. Pure will is only possible to a coordinated thinker, to truly
self-conscious entities; the basis of the One Life which synthesises all
groups; the unity of love and intention; the energy of the soul expressing
itself as direction, progress and conformity to the Plan; monadic essence
qualified by "fixed determination" which is identified with the Will
or Purpose of the planetary Logos; the highest divine aspect which the initiate
finally manifests, prior to entering upon the Way of Higher Evolution; active
intelligent purpose, lovingly applied. (see Way, Love, Purpose)
Will-Purpose The steely, brittle, determined, dynamic
will of the devoted aspirant must change into the steadfast, calm purpose of
the soul working through the disciple. The soul is fluid in adjustment but
undeviating in aim; quality of the first Ray. (see Rays)
Will-to-Good The will-to-good is the basic quality of
divine purpose involving planned activity and a definite goal to be achieved.
White magic Conscious cooperation with spiritual law
and the deva forces to bring about manifested change, for the motive of service
to humanity.
World Saviour Mankind itself is the world Saviour, of
which all world Saviours have been but the symbol and guarantee.
World Teacher The World Teacher takes office
cyclically. His cycles do not coincide with the Manu as the Manu holds office
for the entire root race. The World Teacher gives out a keynote for the various
religions and is the emanating source for periodical religious impulses. The duration
of his cycles are not given out. The Buddha held office prior to the present
World Teacher and upon his Illumination His place was taken by the Lord
Maitreya whom the Occidentals call the Christ.
Yoga Sanskrit "unite". The science of union.
Hatha (physical). Bhakti (devotional - astral). Karma (yoga of action). Raja
("kingly" - mental) Agni (fire - intuitive/buddhic)
Zodiac Astrology is based, curiously enough, upon
illusion, for the zodiac is the imaginary path of the sun through the heavens,
as it appears from the standpoint of our planet. The sun is not in any sign of
the zodiac but only appears to be as it passes between our earth and the
constellations at any particular time or season. Although largely an illusion,
at the same time the constellations exist, and the streams of energy which pass
and repass, intermingle and interlock throughout the body of space are by no
means illusions but definitely express eternal relationships.

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.
Anyone planning a
“Spiritual” stay at the
Tekels Park Guest
House should be aware of the sale.
There is confusion
as the Theoversity moves out of
Tekels Park to Southampton,
Glastonbury &
Chorley in Lancashire while the
leadership claim
that the Theosophical Society will
