Dear Bruce:

As to your question on the DUGPAS -- I would say that the matter
is complex because it refers to the eternal polarity of SPIRIT
and MATTER. Metaphysically the re-creation of the UNIVERSE
after the rest of Pralaya produces the UNIVERSAL MONAD. But the
Monad is not only DUAL (spirit -- matter) it is TRIPLE since the
ABSOLUTE represents the SOURCE and BASIS which penetrates both of
these . In addition there is INTELLIGENCE (CONSCIOUSNESS) which
is so to say at the mid point between these two poles (spirit -
Matter) and therefore is able to perceive all their
interactions. Thus we have actually the tetragrammaton
consisting of ABSOLUTENESS and spirit -- mind -- matter.
The divine 4..

I find one of the most comprehensive definitions of "black magic"
in

T. GLOSS p. 105-6 "one definition is "adept of black magic".

As I understand it the difference between the WHITE and the BLACK
Magic is the motive or aim of these polar opposites. The WHITE
is that which is universal and impersonal in scope and those who
adopt it tend to share all they have of information and
experience with others, and as a RULE they make no one their
VICTIMS or their PAWNS. They practice the laws relevant to
universal brotherhood, because they see that all "creatures" are
of the same base -- hence BROTHERHOOD best expresses their
methods and motives.

On the other hand you have the practice of selfishness and
isolation -- the fact of universal sameness is taken advantage of
to enslave others either physically or psychologically or
mentally. The sense of pride leads to dominance and the practice
of authority. It is best expressed by the phrase: "Me first."
This latter process results ultimately in a condition called the
"Death of the Soul" -- this you will find explained in the KEY
TO THEOSOPHY 100, 130 158-9 160-1 169-70 166 176 198 212

In regard to a study of the dugpa/sorecerers/shamars/ black
magicians/dugpas/etc. There are words of warning given in
Theosophical Literature. Some of these are:


H.P.B. LETTERS. TO A.P.Sinnett: p. 241;

Mahatma. Letters: 40 42 49 133 232 272 284 294 297-8 337 369 522
462-3 484

S.D. I 156, 169; S.D. II 586;

PATH Magazine I p. 382;

Isis I 599; II 369

H.P.B. Articles (ULT) I 227, III 357-9, 361-3

TRANSACTIONS OF THE BLAVATSKY LODGE (ULT) p. 66 76-7



It is not a subject that one likes to dwell on, yet, one ought to
know how Theosophy looks at the situation in terms of our m7
principles and the rest of Nature, which is also involved. The
White Magician finds members among those who are the "creators,":
and the "builders" of the universe as well as those who sacrifice
their high positions (SD I 207-0210, 272-3) to teach mankind the
arts and sciences as well as the cooperative laws as in KARMA,
VIRTUE, PERFECTION and BROTHERHOOD..


Best wishes

Dallas

Subject: Theos-World The Physio Organs

H.P. Blavatsky's instructions for the Esoteric Section were only
published
in full in 1980 in the Collected Works. In a diagram, (vol.12
opp. pge 524)
which was published previously in the so-called 3rd volume of the
SD:
Macrocosm and its 3, 7, or 10 centres of creative forces- she
shows how the
centres of the inner man (the microcosm) and the physical body
are connected
with exactness
to the macrocosm.

Two notes on the page are interest: "The
physical organs are used only by Dugpas in Black Magic."
and again "The Physical Body is no principle; it is entirely
ignored, being
used only in Black Magic."

The subject of transplants is connected to this. I have seen
other articles
from time to time in TS magazines telling stories of the dead
appearing to
organ recipients, wanting their parts back.
As the Greeks knew, the heart is the
seat of the soul.

Incidentally, HPB's use of the term "Dugpa" is wrong as I
understand it.
This particular sect were not -according to Tibetan scholars -
Black
Magicians. Does anyone know about this?
