 Qabbalah 

by

Isaac Myer

 
 The philosophical writings of Solomon ben Yehudah Ibn Gebirol, and their connection with the Hebrew Qabbalah and Sepher ha-Zohar. An ancient lodge of initiates, translated from the Zohar, and an abstract of an essay upon the Chinese Qabbalah, a translation of part of the mystic theology of Dionysios the Areopagite, and an account of the construction of the ancient Akkadian and Chaldean universe, etc.       




  

 

The Theosophical Society in America (TSA), along with many other sections around the globe, was distressed when hearing of the devastating February 2010 earthquake in Chile that all but destroyed that section's headquarters building. In response TSA agreed to act as a clearinghouse to receive donations from TS and TOS groups all around the world, and to responsibly distribute them to our Chilean brothers as they documented their progress and readiness to receive the funds so collected.
