Subject: Re: Theos-World Re: Dark Fellowships: The Vril
Here is the reference to Vril and Bulwer-Lytton in Vol XIV of HPB CW pp 104.
*****
"Who in our modern day knows anything of the real significance of, and the
powers contained in, certain characters and signsââtalismans ââwhether for
beneficent or evil purposes? Fragments of the Runes and the writing of the
Kischuph, found scattered in old mediaeval libraries; copies from the
Ephesian and Milesian letters or characters; the thrice famous Book of
Thoth, and the terrible treatises (still preserved) of Targes, the
Chaldaean, and his disciple Tarchon, the Etruscanââwho flourished long
before the Trojan Warââare so many names and appellations void of sense
(though met with in classical literature) for the educated modern scholar.
Who, in the nineteenth century, believes in the art, described in such
treatises as those of Targes, of evoking and directing thunderbolts? Yet the
same is described in the Brahmanical literature, and Targes copied his
"thunderbolts" from the Astra,* those terrible engines of destruction known
to the MahÃbhÃratan Ãryans. A whole arsenal of dynamite bombs would pale
before this artââif it ever becomes understood by the Westerners. It is from
an old fragment that was translated to him, that the late Lord Bulwer-Lytton
got his idea of Vril. It is a lucky thing, indeed, that, in the face of the
virtues and philanthropy that grace our age of iniquitous wars, of
anarchists and dynamiters, the secrets contained in the books discovered in
Numa's tomb should have been burnt. But the science of Circ' and M'dea is
not lost. One can discover it in the apparent gibberish of the TÃntrika
Sutras, the Kuku-ma of the Bhutani and the Sikkim Dugpas and "Red-caps" of
Tibet, and even in the sorcery of the Nilgiri Mula-Kurumbas. Very luckily
few outside the high practioners of the Left Path and of the Adepts of the
Rightââin whose hands the weird secrets of the real meaning are
safeââunderstand the "black" evocations. Otherwise the Western as much as
the Eastern Dugpas might make short work of their enemies. The name of the
latter is legion, for the direct descendants of the antediluvian sorcerers
hate all those who are not with them, arguing that, therefore, they are
against them."

* This is a kind of magical bow and arrow calculated to destroy in one
moment whole armies; it is mentioned in the RÃmÃyana, the PurÃnas and
elsewhere.
