Subject: Re: Theos-World books
works by W.Q.Judge obtainable through Theosophy
Company, Los Angeles.
Thanks for the references. The first one wasn't
operating, and said that the page couldn't be displayed. The second one
came up fine, but said that it was a "Chocolate Lovers" page. That is
not quite what I had in mind when I asked about where I could find the
Theosophy Press of Pasadena. I, myself, do like Chocolate quite a bit, but
avoid it for weight control purposes.
Could I give it another try? Does anyone have a web
address for the Theosophy Company of Padadena, or even Los Angeles? And a
street address?
This is Los Angeles California. You know, like The Rose
Parade, Hollywood, Disneyland, and all that.
I am not sure , but I think there is a communication
problem here. It is not like " Go to Los Angeles, it is the third brick
building on the left". Los Angeles and Pasadena have grown since 1992, and
that is the last year that I have statistics that I can access readily. In
1992, Los Angeles was 470 square miles, and had 3.5 million people. The Phone
book of the region makes a pile about 7 feet high. My phone book doesn't cover
the downtown Los Angeles area, which is about 25 miles due north, nor the
Pasadena area, which is about 36 miles due north.
I have looked in the phone books that I have, for
buildings, universities, libraries, and organizations, for locations, but it
is not listed. I have been by the old Theosophical headquarters up on
Beachwood Drive, in Hollywood, but they are associated with the Wheaton,
world-wide Theosophical organization, and I have their catalog.
Pasedena has an area of 23 Sq. Mi., and had 132,000
people in 1992.
If there is anyone who has a web address for the
Theosophy (University?) Press of Pasadena, I would appreciate having it.
I have seen it referred to in books, and in illustrations and photo copies of
the writings of the Adepts, but I haven't been able to get the numbers, and
address.
These two addresses were in the original reply message
to me, and the first one is not operating, and the second one is an
organization that lists groups, in this case the Chocolate Lovers
group.
Here is a reference of my own, a spiritual organization. It is a
Meditation organization, that puts out a monthly Meditation Monthly
International, loosely associated with the Adepts. If you wish to see their
material, the web page is
www.wmea-world.org---And make up your own mind about the value of the material.

Subject: Theos-World books
I find all this very interesting, and makes me want to
read more on the subject.
I went to the current [Theosophical Publishing
House catalog, Quest Books, P.O. Box 270, Wheaton, Il 60189-0270, www.theosophical.org] and
ordered 3 more of the COLLECTED WRITINGS OF H. P. BLAVATSKY, edited by
Boris de Zirkoff volumes. I already have some of them.
Then, from the discussions and writings here, I looked
for some of the works mentioned here, particularly Judge, but didn't find
anything by him, Tingley (sp?), or the others of the break-away American
Section.
I read about the breakup in Olcott's OLD DIARY LEAVES,
who had a vested interest in presenting the matter from his point of
view.
I conclude that those books (If they are still in
print) are published by the Point Loma/ Pasadena publishing
house.
Looking through all the Theosophical books that I
have, I don't find any of them printed by the Padadena branch, unless it is
those printed prior to 1910.
Can anyone here give me the Pasadena address, and web
site for them?
Dennis
