Cicero M.T. - De Natura Deorum +

In its full context, I, XLII (119), quoted by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P.

Circle +

There are several “Circles” with mystic adjectives attached to them. Thus we have: (1) the “Decussated or Perfect Circle” of Plato, who shows it decussated in the form of the letter X ; (2) the “Circle‐dance” of the Amazons, around a Priapic image, the same as the dance of the ''Gopis ''around the Sun (Krishna), the shepherdesses representing the signs of the Zodiac ; (3) the “Circle of Necessity” of 3,000 years of the Egyptians and of the Occultists, the duration of the cycle between rebirths or reincarnations being from 1,000 to 3,000 years on the average. This will be treated under the term “Rebirth” or “Reincarnation” [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Civil and Military Gazette, The +

A daily English-language newspaper published in Lahore (and, at various periods, also in Simla and Karachi). It was formed in 1872 by the merger of ''The Mofussilite'' of Calcutta with the ''Lahore Chronicle'' and ''Indian Public Opinion and Panjab Times''; from 1876 it appeared as a daily. It covered political, military and general news for the colonial civil and military readership of British India. From 1882 to 1887 Rudyard Kipling served as its assistant editor, and many of the stories later collected in ''Plain Tales from the Hills'' were first published in its pages. Publication ceased in 1963. [[Category: CTD info from Wikipedia]] (WP) +

Clairaudience +

The faculty, whether innate or acquired by occult training, of hearing all that is said at whatever distance [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Clairvoyance +

The faculty of seeing with the inner eye or spiritual sight. As now used it is a loose and flippant term, embracing under its meaning a happy guess due to natural shrewdness or intuition, and also that faculty which was so remarkably exercised by Jacob Boehme and Swedenborg. Real clairvoyance means the faculty of seeing through the densest matter (the latter disappearing at the will and before the spiritual eye of the Seer), and irrespective of time (past, present and future) or distance [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
