Jake - thanks for the post. In addition:

"Spirit and Presence in Chinese Art" by Oswald Siren'

and reprints of the long out of print book by Gordon 
Plummer, "Mathematics of the Cosmic Mind" re-issued as "Sacred 
Geometry of the Living Cosmos" which is essentially a study in 
Blavatsky cosmogenesis correlated with sacred geometry to derive 
deeper meaning, correspndences and interconnectedness.

Siren' was a long time Pont Loma Theosophist (he frequently visited 
and his daughter was a student there at the school)  beginning early 
in the period of Katherine Tingely around 1910 through the 
dePurucker time and after until his death in 1966. He was curator of 
the Stockholm museum and world authority on the history of Chinese 
art, writing his scholarly illustrated 7 volume 'Chinese Painters, 
Leading Masters and Principles'. This book contains many inner and 
more Theosophic elements, especially his chapter on 'Chan Buddhism 
and Painting' and his comments on 'Spirit Resonance': "..they 
listened to the innermost recesses of their own consciousness as 
well as in every phenomenaon of nature: mountains and brooks, winds 
and waves, flowers and falling leaves, all revealed to them a 
reflection or an echo of the 'Universal Mind.' " and "the inner 
treasure is the essence ofr mind, the buddha-nature or spiritual 
consciousness, which sees and grasps thingsw wihtout deliberation or 
definitions." etc.
