Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The purpose of this book is to bring together in a convenient and coherent form some of the many HERMES articles written by Prof. Raghavan Iyer on the subjects of meditation and self-study. In truth, meditation and self-study represent two sides of one human activity. The one is the centrifugal movement of consciousness expanding to Universals beyond the limits of Self; the other is the centripetal movement focusing with laser-like precision upon the particulars within the limits of Self. They represent roughly the principles of Buddhi and Manas acting within the incarnated Manasic principle; for the spiritual aspirant they should - in time - become as natural as breathing in and breathing out. These two aspects of the inbreathing and outbreathing within the neophyte's consciousness are dealt with in the three treatises of The Voice of the Silence and Prof. Iyer's seminal article, Meditation and Self-Study: We might begin to wonder whether perhaps there is a golden chord that connects the golden sphere of a man of meditation and the complex intermediary realms in which he must, by pain and anguish and awakening, by knitting together minute golden moments rescued from a great deal of froth and self-deception, come to know himself. If there were not a fundamental connection between meditation and self-study, something of the uniquely precious wisdom in this great text would be lost to us. When we begin to realize this in our lives, we come to appreciate that, while we may not be in a position to make judgments about teachers and schools in a vast and largely unrecorded history or in our own time, nonetheless we do know that there is something profoundly important in stressing both meditation and self-study, in bringing the two together. We must reconcile what looked like a pair of opposites and get beyond despair to something else which allows an existential and dynamic balance between meditation and self-study.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. these copies (we have more than those now listed) are actually unused new copies that have been stored in the California desert for many years and are now housed here in Mecosta, Michigan. We quote them as Very Good however instead of new. Nice copies. The blue decorative crushed cardboard wraps cover the Great Master's Letter - aka "the Maha Chohan" from the 1880's, Also Blavatsky's - Lucifer To the Archbishop of Canterbury, Greeting! and A Turkiesh Effendi On Christendom and Islam (a personal favorite) and T. Subba Row - Personal and Impersonal God and as well Morality and Pantheism the Theosophist (vol 5 #2 1883). Great stuff. 61 pages, NOTE that there are two typo errors corrected before printing apparently (see page 9 pic, all copies have the correction) and if I remember from my reading of my old copy decades ago there may be a few other uncorrected typos. A great book, even if only kept on the dashboard of your car for emergency reading.…
