Alba Spirituale is an Italian Theosophical review of the Adyar lineage, and few titles in this archive carry their allegiance so densely: Theosophy accounts for more than half of everything its vocabulary shows. Its teaching is the later Adyar synthesis rather than Blavatsky's own. One article sets out the hierarchy of Masters and Rays — a Master of the Second Ray, an Adept of the Sixth Initiation, who will take the Office of World Teacher in the coming Root Race, and the Master Jesus, of the Sixth Ray, who inspires and directs all the Christian Churches. Another turns to the psychology that accompanies it, on the limitations and mechanical action of the mind, on how much of our thinking is automatism we could notice if we attended to it, and on the higher faculty of Buddhi coming into play only when that automatic movement is stilled. The review points readers to the movement's standard study library, from Annie Besant's Ancient Wisdom to A. E. Powell's manuals on the subtle bodies. It is a formation organ for Italian members — a school rather than a magazine. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
