The god of learning (the Greek Imouthes). He was the son of Ptah, and in one aspect Hermes, as he is represented as imparting wisdom with a book before him. He is a solar god; lit., “the god of the handsome face “ [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] could not identify the particular figure intended by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]; he lists three seated bronze statuettes of Imhotep in the British Museum, nos. 40666, 63800 and 64495.

Inca Treasure Document in the Adyar Archives +

An archival document with a map of the west coast of South America and multilingual notes on Inca treasure. Its author is unidentified. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] compares it with [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s account in Isis Unveiled but does not accept the handwriting as securely hers.

Incas +

The name given to the creative gods in the Peruvian theogony, and later to the rulers of the country. “The Incas, ''seven ''in number have repeopled the earth after the Deluge ‘, Coste makes them say (I. iv., p. 19). They belonged at the beginning of the ''fifth ''Root‐race to a dynasty of divine kings, such as those of Egypt, India and Chaldea [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Incubus +

Something more real and dangerous than the ordinary meaning given to the word, viz., that of “nightmare ”. An ''Incubus ''is the male Elemental, and ''Succuba ''the female, and these are undeniably the spooks of mediæval demonology, called forth from the invisible regions by human passion and lust. They are now called “Spirit brides” and “Spirit husbands” among some benighted Spiritists and spiritual mediums. But these poetical names do not prevent them in the least being that which they are — Ghools, Vampires and soulless Elementals; formless centres of Life, devoid of sense; in short, ''subjective protoplasms ''when left alone, but called into a definite being and form by the creative and diseased imagination of certain mortals. They were known under every clime as in every age, and the Hindus can tell more than one terrible tale of the dramas enacted in the life of young students and mystics by the ''Pisachas'', their name in India [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Individuality +

One of the names given in Theosophy and Occultism to the Human Higher EGO. We make a distinction between the immortal and divine Ego, and the mortal human Ego which perishes.

Indwellers +

A name or the substitute for the right Sanskrit esoteric name, given to our “inner enemies”, which are seven in the esoteric philosophy. The early Christian Church called them the “seven capital Sins ‘: the Nazarene Gnostics named them, the “seven badly disposed Stellars”, and so on. Hindu exoteric teachings speak only of the “''six ''enemies” and under the term ''Arishadwarga ''enumerate them as follows: (1) Personal desire, lust or any passion (''Kâma''); (2) Hatred or malice (''Krodha''); ( Avarice or cupidity (''Lobha''); ( Ignorance (''Moha''); ( Pride or arrogance (''Mada''); (6) Jealousy, envy (''Matcharya''); forgetting the seventh, which is the “unpardonable sin”, and the worst of all in Occultism.
