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
