Emanation + (In its metaphysical meaning, it is opposed … In its metaphysical meaning, it is opposed to Evolution, yet one with it. Science teaches that evolution is physiologically a mode of generation in which the germ that develops the foetus pre‐exists already in the parent, the development and final form and characteristics of that germ being accomplished in nature; and that in cosmology the process takes place blindly through the correlation of the elements, and their various compounds. Occultism answers that this is only the '''''apparent '''''mode, the real process being Emanation, guided by intelligent Forces under an immutable LAW. Therefore, while the Occultists and Theosophists believe thoroughly in the doctrine of Evolution as given out by Kapila and Manu, they are ''Emanationists ''rather than ''Evolutionists. ''The doctrine of Emanation was at one time universal. It was taught by the Alexandrian as well as by the Indian philosophers, by the Egyptian, the Chaldean and Hellenic Hierophants, and also by the Hebrews (in their Kabbala, and even in ''Genesis)''. For it is only owing to deliberate mistranslation that the Hebrew word asdt has been translated “angels” from the Septuagint, when it means ''Emanations, Æons'', precisely as with the Gnostics. Indeed, in Deuteronomy (xxxiii., 2) the word ''asdt ''or ''ashdt ''is translated as” fiery law”, whilst the correct rendering of the passage should be “from his right hand went [ not a fiery law, but a fire according to law “; viz., that the fire of one flame is imparted to, and caught up by another like as in a trail of inflammable substance. This is precisely emanation. As shown in Isis Unveiled : “In Evolution, as it is now beginning to he understood, there is supposed to be in all matter an impulse to take on a higher form—a supposition clearly expressed by Manu and other Hindu philosophers of the highest antiquity. The philosopher’s tree illustrates it in the case of the zinc solution. The controversy between the followers of this school and the Emanationists may he briefly stated thus The Evolutionist stops all inquiry at the borders of ‘ the Unknowable “; the Emanationist believes that nothing can be evolved—or, as the word means, unwombed or born—except it has first been involved, thus indicating that life is from a spiritual potency above the whole.” [[Category: Theosophical Glossary (CTD terms)]] (TG).lossary' by H.

Mackenzie (R.M.C.) regards them as the guardians of the Temple for the preservation of its purity ; but as Solomon and his Temple are both allegorical and had no real existence, the Temple means in this case the “ body of Israel ” and its morality.“ Scaliger connects this Society of the ''Assideans ''with that of the Essenes, deeming it the predecessor of the latter.” [[Category: Theosophical Glossary (CTD terms)]] (TG).lossary' by H.

Naraka + (In the popular conception, a hell, a “pris … In the popular conception, a hell, a “prison under earth”. The hot and cold hells, each eight in number, are simply emblems of the globes of our septenary chain, with the addition of the “eighth sphere” supposed to be located in the moon. This is a transparent ''blind'', as these “hells” are called ''vivifying hells ''because, as explained, any being dying in one is immediately born in the second, then in the third, and so on; life lasting in each 500 years (a blind on the number of cycles and reincarnations). As these hells constitute one of the six ''gâti ''(conditions of sentient existence), and as people are said to be reborn in one or the other according to their Karmic merits or demerits, the blind becomes self‐ evident. Moreover, these Nârakas are rather purgatories than hells, since release from each is possible through ''the prayers and intercessions of priests for a consideration'', just as in the Roman Catholic Church, which seems to have copied the Chinese‐ritualism in this pretty closely. As said before, esoteric philosophy traces every hell to life on earth, in one or another form of sentient existence [[Category: Theosophical Glossary (CTD terms)]] (TG).lossary' by H. P.

Kamadeva + (In the popular notions the god of love, a … In the popular notions the god of love, a Visva‐deva, in the Hindu Pantheon. As the ''Eros ''of Hesiod, degraded into Cupid by exoteric law, and still more degraded by a later popular sense attributed to the term, so is Kama a most mysterious and metaphysical subject. The earlier Vedic description of Kama alone gives the key‐note to what he emblematizes. Kama is the first conscious, ''all embracing desire ''for universal good, love, and for all that lives and feels, needs help and kindness, the first feeling of infinite tender compassion and mercy that arose in the consciousness of the creative ONE Force, as soon as it came into life and being as a ray from the ABSOLUTE. Says the ''Rig Veda'', “Desire first arose in IT, which was the primal germ of mind, and which Sages, searching with their intellect, have discovered in their heart to be the bond which connects Entity with non‐ Entity”, or ''Manas ''with pur''e Atma‐Buddhi''. There is no idea of sexual love in the conception. Kama is pre‐eminently the divine desire of creating happiness and love; and it is only ages later, as mankind began to materialize by anthropomorphization its grandest ideals into cut and dried dogmas, that Kama became the power that gratifies desire on the animal plane. This is shown by what every ''Veda ''and some ''Brahmanas ''say. In the ''Atharva Veda, ''Kama is represented as the Supreme Deity and Creator. In the Taitarîya Brahmana, he is the child of Dharma, the god of Law and Justice, of Sraddha and faith. In another account he springs from the heart of Brahmâ. Others show him born from water, i.e., from primordial chaos, or the “Deep”. Hence one of his many names, ''Irâ‐ja, ''“the water‐ born”; and ''Aja, ''“unborn” ; and ''Atmabhu ''or “Self‐ existent”. Because of the sign of ''Makara ''(Capricornus) on his banner, he is also called “ Makara Ketu”. The allegory about Siva, the “Great Yogin ”, reducing Kama to ashes by the fire from his ''central ''(or third) ''Eye'', for inspiring the Mahadeva with thoughts of his wife, while he was at his devotions—is very suggestive, as it is said that he thereby reduced Kama to his primeval spiritual form [[Category: Theosophical Glossary (CTD terms)]] (TG).lossary' by H.
