Mimansa +

A school of philosophy; one of the six in India. There are two Mîmânsâ the older and the younger. The first, the “Pârva‐Mîmânsâ”, was founded by Jamini, and the later or “Uttara Mîmânsâ”, by a Vyasa — and is now called the Vedânta school. Sankarâchârya was the most prominent apostle of the latter. The Vedânta school is the oldest of all the six ''Darshana ''(lit., “demonstrations”), but even to the Pûrva‐Mîmânsâ no higher antiquity is allowed than 500 B.C. Orientalists in favour of the absurd idea that all these schools are “due to Greek influence”, in order to have them fit their theory would make them of still later date. The ''Shad‐darshana ''(or Six Demonstrations) have all a starting point in common, and maintain that ''ex nihilo nihil fit'' [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Minucius Felix - Octavius +

An apologetic dialogue by [[Minucius Felix, Marcus|M. Minucius Felix]]. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] identifies the statement on Christians’ abstention from blood cited by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] with the closing sentence of chapter XXX rather than a direct quotation from Tertullian. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Have Animals Souls#18|BCW 7:18]]) The passage cited by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] occurs at XXXII, 1–2, where Octavius Januarius addresses Caecilius Natalis.

The statement on Christians’ abstention from blood attributed by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] to Tertullian is identified with the final sentence of chapter XXX of Octavius; a similar passage also occurs in Tertullian’s Apologeticus, chapter IX. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Have Animals Souls#18|BCW 7:18]]) +

The Luminous Mirror, ''Aspaqularia nera, ''a Kabbalistic term, means the power of foresight and farsight, prophecy such as Moses had.
