New ideas in Theosophical teachings
Approaching The Secret Doctrine
Its Teachings and Practical Application
In this book Pablo Sender offers significantly more than a metaphysical exposition of the subject matter. Part I describes an approach to the SD that turns its study into a form of yoga, helping the student gain deeper insights into higher realities.
Part II explores the main teachings of the SD volume on Cosmogenesis, expounding upon them in a clear and systematic way. Diagrams and charts are provided throughout, and all non-English technical terms are translated, removing a common stumbling block encountered by students.
Finally, Part III presents an innovative method to apply teachings on cosmic principles to the human mind and consciousness. It also includes a series of meditations and exercises designed to help the earnest student grow in self-knowledge and meet the experiences of daily life from the profound perspective put forth by Blavatsky’s remarkable text.

Inner Group Teachings:
H.P. Blavatsky to Her Personal Pupils
In our next book for this Series we are bringing back into print the oral esoteric teachings that H. P. Blavatsky gave to the innermost group of the early Theosophical Society.
The material in this work comes from the notebook of Alice L. Cleather, a member of the Inner Group of the Esoteric Section. In the weekly meetings held privately, Blavatsky answered questions about her Esoteric Instructions, giving a profound insight on the inner structure of the cosmos and human beings.
The subjects discussed include:
- States of consciousness.
- Meditative exercises.
- Planes, lokas and talas.
- Planetary influences.
- Correspondences of elements, color, senses, and sounds.
- Correlation between Principles of consciousness and physical organs.
. . . and much more.
The book also presents Esoteric Instructions IV, V, and VI and the Diagram of Meditation.
Conversations on Self-Knowledge
This book, based on real interactions in a class, explores practical aspects of the spiritual life in a format of Questions and Answers. The conversations explore in a deep and practical way subjects such as the practice of awareness, the development of self-knowledge, how to deal with negative emotions and thoughts, meditation, and much more.
H. P. Blavatsky’s Diagram of Meditation
In the late 1880s Mme. Blavatsky dictated a Diagram of Meditation to one of her close students. The Diagram is meant to assist us in a process of spiritual transformation from the limited perception of our personal ego to that of the divine self. It offers a very comprehensible approach that is not limited to instructions for sitting meditation but also includes a set of attitudes to be observed during daily life.
Dzyan Theosophy: The Theosophical Path of Meditation
Although the Theosophical tradition refrains from promoting one particular system of meditation, there are many specific recommendations about the subject found in its literature. In this book, we present a number of methods taught by Theosophists such as H. P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, I. K Taimni, Geoffrey Hodson, Dora Kunz, and many more.
