Abbiamo conosciuto Rudolf Steiner. Ricordi dei suoi allievi
br. In questa raccolta quattordici allievi di Rudolf Steiner annotarono i loro reali ricordi personali. Poterono ancora partecipare con lui e sotto i suoi occhi agli impulsi antroposofici di rinnovamento della cultura. Prima e dopo il centenario della nascita di Rudolf Steiner nell'anno 1961 furono pubblicati numerosi libri di altri allievi come pure di alcuni autori che qui presero la parola e che approfondirono più in dettaglio la sua vita e la sua opera.

Esercizi per l'autoeducazione
brossura Gli esercizi di autoeducazione contenuti in questo quaderno furono indicati da Rudolf Steiner stesso come percorso complementare alla meditazione. Non sono esercizi di meditazione, ma la loro esecuzione permette ad ognuno di padroneggiare meglio la propria vita, di rimuovere le personali inadeguatezze e le unilateralità. L'effetto sarà un rafforzamento dell'Io e un consolidamento della propria costituzione.

This little periodical was an attempt to display and praise the coming together of various factions. For example in Vol. 1 No. 9 we read “Evidence of the spread of fraternization: Adyar and Point Loma held joint White Lotus day meetings at Point Loma San Francisco and Oakland California in London England as well as in other cities.†That same issue has a photographic portrait of Aldous Huxley and a review of “Eyeless in Gaza.†Cecil Willliams unknown

(THEOSOPHY: THE COULOMB AFFAIR). COULOMB, Emma
Some Account of My Association with Madame Blavatsky from 1872 to 1884.
Madras: Madras Christian College Magazine 1884. First edition of this infamous report. Extracted from the November 1884 issue of the Madras Christian College Magazine one suspects that this article comprised the entirety of the issue. Octavo. 112 pp. entirely devoted to this report by Emma Coulomb which severely damaged the Theosophical movement. Contemporary ersatz binding of plain brown wrappers with lighter brown taped for spine front cover with a paper label bearing the title in manuscript. Hinges reinforced. With the bookplate of noted 20th century magician Stanley Collins.A very good copy of the exceedingly rare publication.Blavatsky met Emma and Alexis in 1871 in Cairo. They founded the short-lived Societe Spirite. In August 1879 Emma and Alexis contacted Blavatsky because they had financial problems. They were stranded in Sri Lanka and Blavatsky helped them to get to Bombay and tried to find a job for them. As she could not find a job for them she provided them with a position in the Theosophical Society where they did various chores such as cooking and gardening. In February 1884 Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott travelled to Europe. Prior to their departure Emma had occasion to see what she considered to be fraud on the part of Blavatsky. Blavatsky was rightly famous for introducing the concept of Hidden Masters and their importance in Mankind's crawl toward apotheosis. Traditionally celebrants would seek the advice of a revered Ascended Master through Blavatsky. When Blavatsky asked a question the illuminati would send an answer down apparently originating in midair. Emma claimed to have gone to the room above where Blavatsky was hosting a seeker and she said she saw Blavatsky's assistant in that room dropping little slips of paper through a crack in the ceiling. After their departure a conflict between the Coulombs and the Theosophical Society escalated. The Coulombs tried to blackmail and threaten Blavatsky whereupon Blavatsky dismissed them.After the Coulombs were dismissed they went to their Christian missionary friends of the Free Church of Scotland and gave them letters that were allegedly written by Blavatsky to Emma. These letters suggested that Blavatsky was a fraud. The chaplain George Patterson published extracts from these letters in the Madras Christian College Magazine presented here The incident became well known all over India and also in America and Europe. Blavatsky immediately published a reply in several newspapers. Blavatsky and Olcott then traveled back to India at the end of 1884. Soon afterwards the Hodgson Report was published which further damaged Blavatsky's reputation. The Hodgson Report was an 1885 report by the Society for Psychical Research SPR on Helena Blavatsky and purportedly fraudulent Mahatma Letters. According to OCLC there is not record for the copy here presented. After wading throuh a miasma of red tape we think that there was a report issued in London in 1885 with a title page reading "Some account of my Intercourse with Madam Blavatsky" that followed the original report issued by the Madras Christian College Magazine in 1884 an obvious extract with the title page reading "Some Account of My Association with Madame Blavatsky. In either case it is exceeding rare with no copy ever ever having come up at auction and none ever offered in the trade that we could find. Madras Christian College Magazine unknown

The Australian Theosophist; Official Organ of the Theosophical Society in Australia.
Sydney: Theosophical Society in Australia 1929-30. Edited by C. W. Leadbeater. Monthly. Octavo. Vol. V Nos. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1929-29. Vol. VI Nos. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1929. Vol. VII Nos. 2 3 5 6 1929-1930. Vol. VIII Nos. 1 3 1930. 20 issues. Printed in blue ink. Each volume is separately paginated. Numerous photographic illustrations. Publisher’s peach wrappers with lettering and decorations in blue. Some abrasion to spines but sturdy and clean throughout.We cannot best Pat Delavaney’s description so we present it here in it’s entirety; “From mid-1928 C.W. Leadbeater was editor of the journal. This was a fairly typical sectional journal of the Adyar Theosophists but its bland contents tolerance child welfare Indian independence practical domestic economy the World Mother messages from Leadbeater Annie Besant C.J. Jinarajadasa etc. conceal and gloss over the bitter internecine strife that preceded it. Dissatisfaction with the direction the Theosophical Society had taken under the guidance of Besant and Leadbeater had begun with Leadbeater's temporary expulsion from the T.S. in 1906 growing out of the accusations of Helen Dennis of Chicago about his "immoral sexual practices" with her son and another boy. Similar charges against Leadbeater and his protege James Wedgwood were made in Australia after World War I principally by Thomas Hammond Martyn - d. 1924 the head of the Sydney Lodge of the Society. Martyn besides his outrage over Leadbeater's and Wedgwood's sexual conduct also played a role in the bitter discussions over whether Besant had or had not said Wedgwood was an initiate -- and over whether she herself was an initiate or merely the dupe of Leadbeater. The furor in Australia centered around the Sydney Lodge and its attacks on the roles of Co-Masonry Krishnamurti the E.S. pederasty ceremonialism the "Back to Blavatsky" movement and the "T.S. Loyalty League." The convention of the Australian Section of the Society in 1922 was split leading to the expulsion of the Sydney Lodge the next year -- though it continued for decades as the Independent Theosophical Society. George Sydney Arundale 1878-1945 who edited this journal was General Secretary of the Australian Section 1926-1928 and went on to become third president of the T.S. in 1934. He was an English Theosophist prominent Co-Mason and bishop in the Liberal Catholic Church and firmly brought Theosophy in Australia back into the Besant-Leadbeater fold.†Krishnamurti broke with Theosophy in early August of 1929 and in the August 15 1929 of this periodical we find the below article - “Krishnaji Dissolved the Order of the Star.†The Order of the Star was the movement within the Theosophical Society that proclaimed Krishnamurti to be the World-Teacher/Messiah. And even before that in the issue of October of 1928 the lead article written by Leadbeater again was “Our Chief and Krishnaji I.e. Krishnamurti and it discusses the growing disparity between the teachings of Krishnamurti and those given by Annie Besant. The Australian Branch of the Theosophical Society was a continuous torn in its side as Leadbeater was determined to co-mingle Theosophy with his new Liberal Catholic Church. A Church found to be sorely lacking by the vast majority of sincere Theosophists. Theosophical Society in Australia unknown

(THEOSOPHY)
The Malaysian Theosophist.
Penang: Dr. H. C. Yeang 1962-64. Edited by C H Yeang. Quarterly. Three issues. Vol. II Nos. 11 12 & 13. Printed in purple ink and with numerous ads for local Malaysian businesses. Publisher’s printed wrappers of various hues. Some aging but very good. None located by OCLC. Quite a vibrant publication. In the overall arc of Theosophy The Malaysian Theosophist is quite a late-comer but their enthusiasm makes up for it. Includes articles by Geoffrey Hodson Kut Humi Speaks Blavatsky’s Ascended Master Joel S. Goldsmith Sri Siddha Evangeline “LSD. 25 Mescaline Etc.â€. Adrienne Ashley Brown Landone & Martha Baker. In Vol. II. No. 12 April-September 1963 there is an article by Muhammad Subuh entitled “The Meaning and Purpose of Subudâ€. The first Subud periodical wasn’t published until 1964 but it did not contain any expository writings by Muhammad Subuh. He did publish some spiritual and autobiographical pieces is 1959 but this is almost surely his first published piece expounding upon Subud. Included in this lot is a separate publication ostensibly written by the same publisher/editor C. H. Yeang and it is uniform with the periodical in size and appearance. It is entitled “Hidden Secrets Revealed by ‘I AM’ that ‘I AM’.†It contains a listing of 53 metaphysical laws and is almost surely cribbed from various books published by Guy Ballard. The preface bears an inscription by Yeang and is dated 1963. As there are articles about such various movements as Baha’i and the Mazdaznan it would seem that this branch of the Theosophical Society was very un-doctrinaire. The covers all bear a variation of the Ballards’ I AM theosophical offshoot e.g. “WE ARE that I AMâ€. Dr. H. C. Yeang unknown

Olcott to be a member of the Board of Control of the Theosophical Society's activities in the United States. In Mahatma Letter 140 written in March 1886 Madame Blavatsky gave A. P. Sinnett an indication that Dr. Buck was being "helped" by the Mahatmas to make the Society "a grand movement" in America. The Cincinnati Theosophical Society was formed on May 9 1886 at the Buck home on Oak Street. Cincinnati was one of the earliest centers of theosophical adherents in the US and Buck was their patriarch. The first edition is signed lightly in pencil by a woman in his inner circle.Madame Blavatsky quoted an essay of his in The Key to Theosophy and commented "No living theosophist has better expressed and understood the real essence of Theosophy than our honoured friend Dr. Buck". She also referred to him as "a true Philaletheian" in her book quoting from an article he published in The Theosophist September 1883 p. 327 titled "The Ethics of Theosophy."
