Group Study: Appendices of the Study Course “An Introduction to Esoteric Principles,” by William Doss McDavid

Facilitator: Mrs. Vidya Vasanth  

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Brief Description of the Study Material: 

Appendix I describes in more details the seven principles of the human constitution while Appendix II covers the journey of each human monad, which is best summarized by H.P. Blavatsky as “The Monads cycling round any septenary chain are divided into seven classes or hierarchies according to their respective stages of evolution, consciousness, and merit.” (The Secret Doctrine, 1:171) Last but not least, Appendix III lists (a) the twelve creative hierarchies that are responsible for creating and building up the environment for the seven classes or kingdoms to manifest and experience life, and finally (b) the occult correspondences between the seven human constituents, planets, days, colors, metals, tattvas, and musical notes. Join our group study to discuss further on these subjects and share your insights of your study of the Appendices with your fellow brothers and sisters.
