Hahn, Alexey Fyodorovich von +

Russian major-general and commandant of Kamenets-Podolsk; [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s paternal grandfather. Russian documentary sources identify him as Alexey Fyodorovich Hahn; the German form of his name is Axel Heinrich von Hahn. ([https://oldbasman.ru/d/875918/d/karamysh_gany.pdf А.А. Шумков, «Хотилицкие Ганы», с. 102-105]; [https://yro.narod.ru/HPB_rodoslovn/rodoslovn3.pdf Л.К. Маркелова, исследование родословной Ганов, с. 1, 4-6, 11]) Note on the name and rank: the previously transmitted patronymic Gustavovich differs from the documentary form Fyodorovich. The rank of major-general follows documentary research; participation in Suvorov’s crossing of the Alps is not asserted here. ([https://oldbasman.ru/d/875918/d/karamysh_gany.pdf А.А.

Hair +

Occult philosophy considers the hair (whether human or animal) as the natural receptacle and retainer of the vital essence which often escapes with other emanations from the body. It is closely connected with many of the brain functions — for instance memory. With the ancient Israelites the cutting of the hair and beard was a sign of defilement, and “the Lord said unto Moses. . . They shall not make baldness upon their head”, etc. (Lev. XX1., 1‐5.) “Baldness”, whether natural or artificial, was a sign of calamity, punishment, or grief, as when Isaiah (iii.,24) enumerates, “instead of well‐set hair baldness”, among the evils that are ready to befall the chosen people. And again, “On all their heads baldness and every beard cut” (''Ibid. ''xv., 2). The Nazarite was ordered to let his hair and beard grow, and never to permit a razor to touch them. With the Egyptians and Buddhists it was only the initiated priest or ascetic to whom life is a burden, who shaved. The Egyptian priest was supposed to have become master of his body, and hence shaved his head for cleanliness; yet the Hierophants wore their hair long. The Buddhist still shaves his head to this day — as sign of scorn for life and health. Yet Buddha, after shaving his hair when he first became a mendicant, let it grow again and is always represented with the top‐knot of a Yogi. The Hindu priests and Brahmins, and almost all the castes, shave the rest of the head but leave a long lock to grow from the centre of the crown. The ascetics of India wear their hair long, and so do the war‐like Sikhs, and almost all the Mongolian peoples. At Byzantium and Rhodes the shaving of the beard was prohibited by law, and in Sparta the cutting of the beard was a mark of slavery and servitude. Among the Scandinavians, we are told, it was considered a disgrace, “a mark of infamy”, to cut off the hair. The whole population of the island of Ceylon (the Buddhist Singhalese) wear their hair long. So do the Russian, Greek and Armenian clergy, and monks. Jesus and the Apostles are always represented with their hair long, but fashion in Christendom proved stronger forces [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG).

Hallucination +

A state produced sometimes by the Astral Light; but while the drunkard, the madman, and the untrained medium, or one suffering from brain‐ fever, see, because they cannot help it, and evoke the jumbled visions unconsciously to themselves, the Adept and the trained Seer have the choice and the control of such visions. They know where to fix their gaze, how to steady the scenes they want to observe, and how to see beyond the upper outward layers of the Astral Light. With the former such glimpses into the waves are hallucinations: with the latter they become the faithful reproduction of what actually has been, is, or will be, taking place. The glimpses at random caught by the medium, and his flickering visions in the deceptive light, are transformed under the guiding will of the Adept and Seer into steady pictures, the truthful representations of that which he wills to come within the focus of his perception [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
