THEOSOPHY WALES
Welcome to the Theosophical Society in Wales
Y Gymdeithas Theosophaidd yng Nghymru

The Society welcomes anyone to join
in our exploration of the Ancient Wisdom,
who is in sympathy with our Three Objects –
1. To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity,
without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, gender, nationality or colour.
2 To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy,
and science.
3. To investigate the unexplained laws of nature and the powers
latent in man.
The Theosophical Society was formed in 1875 by H. P. Blavatsky and others to make available to the world and to promote an
understanding of Ancient Esoteric Teachings. It is now active in over 50 countries.
This Ancient, or as it is sometimes called, ‘Ageless Wisdom’, which had previously only been available to initiates and in
Secret Orders, has found expression down the ages in philosophies, sciences, mysticism, religions and the arts.
The Society is composed of students belonging to any belief system or to none, who have an aspiration for truth.
Central to the Concerns of theosophy is the desire to promote understanding and brotherhood among people of all races, creeds
and philosophies. Devotion to truth, love for all living beings and commitment to a life of altruism marks the true Theosophist.

'AKASHA AND THE ASTRAL LIGHT'
"Akasha refers to the esoteric teaching that all 3-dimensional space throughout the physical Universe is interpenetrated by Spirit.
This idea is developed to show that this is also true for the six subjective realms and the occult space which is associated with them.
The first realm is the Astral and the Astral Light associated with it is of particular interest.
The study leads us deep into the fundamental teachings of Theosophy."

JOY MILLS
READING – FROM S.D. COMMENTARIES STANZA 1
THE ETERNAL PARENT WRAPPED IN HER EVER-INVISIBLE ROBES,
HAD SLUMBERED ONCE AGAIN FOR SEVEN ETERNITIES.
TIME IS NOT; FOR IT LAY ASLEEP IN THE INFINITE BOSOM OF DURATION.
UNIVERSAL MIND WAS NOT FOR THERE WERE NO CELESTIAL BEINGS TO CONTAIN IT.
DARKNESS ALONE FILLED THE BOUNDLESS ALL.
H.P. BLAVATSKY
READING – S.D. STANZA 5
THE PRIMORDIAL SEVEN, THE FIRST SEVEN BREATHS OF THE DRAGON OF WISDOM
PRODUCE IN THEIR TURN THE FIERY WHIRLWIND.
THEY MAKE OF HIM THE MESSENGER OF THEIR WILL.
THE DZYU BECOMES FOHAT: THE SWIFT SON OF THE DIVINE SONS,
WHOSE SONS ARE THE LIPIKA WHO RUNS CIRCULAR ERRANDS.
FOHAT IS THE STEED AND THOUGHT IS THE RIDER.
H.P. BLAVATSKY
READING - AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER
IN ALL THE WORLD THERE ARE ONLY TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE -
THOSE WHO KNOW, AND THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW;
AND THIS KNOWLEDGE IS THE THING WHICH MATTERS.
WHAT RELIGION A MAN HOLDS, TO WHAT RACE HE BELONGS -
THESE THINGS ARE NOT IMPORTANT;
THE REALLY IMPORTANT THING IS THIS KNOWLEDGE -
THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S PLAN FOR MEN.
FOR GOD HAS A PLAN AND THAT PLAN IS EVOLUTION.
WHEN ONCE A MAN HAS SEEN THAT AND REALLY KNOWS IT,
HE CANNOT HELP WORKING WITH IT, BECAUSE IT IS SO GLORIOUS,
SO BEAUTIFUL. SO, BECAUSE HE KNOWS, HE IS ON GOD’S SIDE,
STANDING FOR GOOD AND RESISTING EVIL,
WORKING FOR EVOLUTION AND NOT FOR SELFISHNESS.
J. KRISHNAMURTI
READING - ‘THE LIGHT OF ASIA’
BEFORE BEGINNING, AND WITHOUT AN END,
AS SPACE ETERNAL AND AS SURETY SURE,
IS FIXED A POWER DIVINE WHICH MOVES TO GOOD,
ONLY ITS LAWS ENDURE.
THIS IS ITS TOUCH UPON THE BLOSSOMED ROSE,
THE FASHION OF ITS HAND SHAPED LOTUS-LEAVES;
IN DARK SOIL AND THE SILENCE OF THE SEEDS
THE ROBE OF SPRING IT WEAVES.
THAT IS ITS PAINTING ON THE GLORIOUS CLOUDS,
AND THESE THE EMERALDS ON THE PEACOCK’S TRAIN;
IT HATH ITS STATIONS IN THE STARS; ITS SLAVES
IN LIGHTNING, WIND, AND RAIN.
IT SEETH EVERYWHERE AND MARKETH ALL:
DO RIGHT-IT RECOMPENSETH! DO ONE WRONG -
THE EQUAL RETRIBUTION MUST BE MADE,
THOUGH DHARMA TARRY LONG.
IT KNOWS NOT WRATH NOR PARDON; UTTER-TRUE
ITS MEASURES METE, ITS FAULTLESS BALANCE WEIGHS;
TIMES ARE AS NOUGHT, TOMORROW IT WILL JUDGE
OR AFTER MANY DAYS.
BY THIS, THE SLAYERS KNIFE DID STAB HIMSELF;
THE UNJUST JUDGE HATH LOST HIS OWN DEFENDER;
THE FALSE TONGUE DOOMS ITS LIE; THE CREEPING THIEF
AND SPOILER ROB TO RENDER.
SUCH IS THE LAW WHICH MOVES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS,
WHICH NONE AT LAST CAN TURN ASIDE OR STAY;
THE HEART OF IT IS LOVE, THE END OF IT
IS PEACE AND CONSUMMATION SWEET. OBEY!
SIR EDWIN ARNOLD
READING - ‘THE ROAD’
THERE IS A ROAD STEEP AND THORNY,
BESET WITH PERILS OF EVERY KIND, BUT YET A ROAD,
AND IT LEADS TO THE HEART OF THE UNIVERSE.
I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO FIND THOSE WHO WILL SHOW YOU THE SECRET GATEWAY
THAT LEADS INWARD ONLY AND CLOSES FAST BEHIND THE NEOPHYTE FOR EVERMORE.
THERE IS NO DANGER THAT DOUBTLESS COURAGE CANNOT CONQUER,
THERE IS NO TRIAL THAT SPOTLESS PURITY CANNOT PASS,
THERE IS NO DIFFICULTY THAT STRONG INTELLECT CANNOT SURMOUNT.
FOR THOSE WHO WIN ONWARD, THERE IS REWARD PAST ALL TELLING –
THE POWER TO BLESS AND SAVE HUMANITY.
FOR THOSE WHO FAIL,
(AND THERE IS NO FAILURE EXCEPT IN CEASING TO TRY,)
THERE ARE OTHER LIVES IN WHICH SUCCESS MAY COME.
H. P. BLAVATSKY
READING - FROM MYSTIC VISION & HUMAN TRANSFORMATION.
OUR HUMAN DESTINY, IT MAY BE SAID, IS TO KNOW. TO KNOW FULLY AND WHOLLY,
NOT SIMPLY TO THEORISE, BUT REALLY TO KNOW IS TO BE THE MYSTIC.
TO KNOW IS TO ENCOUNTER REALITY AT EVERY MOMENT IN TIME,
IN EVERY PLACE IN TIME, IN EVERY PLACE IN SPACE.
OUT OF THAT ENCOUNTER, WHICH IS TRULY THE MYSTIC EXPERIENCE,
ARISES NATURALLY A NEW WAY OF LIVING, THAT IS BOTH SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL.
A WAY THAT IS ONE OF COMMITMENT TO THE COSMOS,
TO OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS, TO LIFE ITSELF.
A COMMITMENT OF THE PERSONAL SELF TO THE ONE SELF
SEATED IN THE HEART OF ALL BEINGS.
JOY MILLS
READING - ‘THE GOLDEN STAIRS’
BEHOLD THE TRUTH BEFORE YOU. A CLEAN LIFE, AN OPEN MIND, A PURE HEART.
AN EAGER INTELLECT, AN UNVEILED SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION, A BROTHERLINESS FOR ALL.
A READINESS TO GIVE AND RECEIVE ADVICE AND INSTRUCTION,
A LOYAL SENSE OF DUTY TO THE TEACHER.
A WILLING OBEDIENCE TO THE BEHEST’S OF TRUTH,
A COURAGEOUS ENDURANCE OF PERSONAL INJUSTICE,
A BRAVE DECLARATION OF PRINCIPALS.
A VALIANT DEFENCE OF THOSE WHO ARE UNJUSTLY ATTACKED,
AND A CONSTANT EYE TO THE IDEAL OF HUMAN PROGRESSION AND PERFECTION
WHICH THE SACRED SCIENCE DEPICTS. THESE ARE THE GOLDEN STAIRS
UP THE STEPS OF WHICH THE LEARNER MAY CLIMB TO THE TEMPLE OF DIVINE WISDOM.
H. P. BLAVATSKY
PEACE TO ALL BEINGS
