Mornington Crescent London Underground Tube Station.

Opened in 1907

Located in Camden, the station is on the Northern Line

Charing Cross branch, between Euston and Camden Town.

The I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue Team

Radio 4’s “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue” is very popular with Theosophists

in his honour in the entrance to the station in 2002.

 

 

 

Consulting the Mornington Crescent Rules

 

 

Besides being an Underground Station, Mornington Crescent is also the

name of a transport orienteering game made famous by the Radio 4 comedy

programme “I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue”. The game has arbitrary rules

and requires esoteric knowledge of the London Transport System.

Closure and Grand Re-opening

 

Mornington Crescent Lives On

 

Many London Underground maps still show Mornington Crescent as a

disused station. This is because of a period of closure from 1992 to 1998.

 

Amazingly this Legendary Cult Underground Station was closed in 1992

for an indefinite period, as the passenger lifts from street to platform

level had become unserviceable. Recognising the importance of this station

both to the transport system and to our cultural heritage, millions of pounds

were found to repair the lifts and give the station a makeover.

“I’m Sorry, I haven’t a Clue Team”

 

 

The Grand re-opening of Mornington Crescent Underground Station

took place on April 27th 1998 and in recognition of the it’s cultural

importance, London Underground invited the team of Radio 4’s

"I'm Sorry, I haven't a Clue" to open the refurbished station.

 

 

Mrs Trellis of North Wales

Her letters always get enormous laughs.

Everything is negotiable in Theosophy and not surprisingly

some Theosophists have even raised questions as to whether

Mrs Trellis of North Wales actually exists.

This page looks at various theories about Mrs Trellis of North Wales,

her existence, her identity and possible hidden messages concealed in her

letters but in the Theosophical Tradition these are ideas for consideration

and you can make your own mind up.

H P Blavatsky’s major work; The Secret Doctrine is divided into two sections.

These are Cosmogenesis or the coming in existence of the Universe and

Anthropogenesis or the coming into existence of Mankind. Here are brief

outlines of how these terms are used in Theosophy.

 

Cosmogenesis     Anthropogenesis

The Hidden Work of Nature

C Jinarajadasa

When we contemplate the pageant of nature, we see her

at a work of building and un-building. From mineral

to bacterium and plant, from microbe to animal and man,

nature is busy at a visible work, step by step evolving

higher and more complex structures.

 

Though she may seem at first sight to work blindly

and mechanically, she has in reality a coherent

plan of action. Her plan is to evolve structures stage by

stage, so that the amount of time needed by a given

creature for its self-protection and sustenance

may be less and less with each successive generation.

 

The higher the structure is in its organization and

adaptability, the more time, and hence more energy,

there is free for other purposes of life than

sustenance and procreation.

Rounds And Races

William Quan Judge

The planetary chain consists of seven companion globes,

which for convenience of reference are named from the

first seven letters of the alphabet, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.

 

We occupy globe D, the fourth in the chain. The course

of evolution begins on globe A, and proceeds by regular

stages through globes B, C, D, E, etc.

 

In the beginning,globe A was first evolved, and life

received a certaindegree of development upon it; then

globe B cameinto existence, and the life-wave removed

from globe A to B,where it went forward another stage;

then globe C wasevolved and received the life wave for

a still further stagein its progress; and so on, until at the

end of the first roundglobe G was evolved and furnished

the field for the highestdevelopment attainable in that round.

     

The first round - the first tour of the life-wave through the

seven globes from A to G - having been completed, the monads

- the life wave - passed again to globe A, and commenced

the second round, or the second tour through the chain.

 

Without following out details, it is enough to say that

three such rounds have been completed, and the fourth

round has commenced its sweep and isstill in progress; and

that we now occupy globe D in this fourth round.

 

Three times the life-wave has passed from globe A to globe G;

and has now reached globe D in its fourth tour through the chain.

 

The Earth Chain

William Quan Judge

 The earth is one of seven globes, in respect to man's

consciousness only, because when he functions on one

of the seven he perceives it as a distinct globe and does

not see the other six.

 

This is in perfect correspondence with man himself who

has six other constituents of which only the gross body

is visible to him because he is now functioning on the Earth

-- or the fourth globe – and his body represents the Earth.

 

The whole seven "globes" constitute one single mass or great

globe and they all interpenetrate each other. But we have to

say "globe," because the ultimate shape is globular or spherical.

********************

Each one of the globes is used by evolutionary law for the

development of seven races, and of senses, faculties and

powers appropriate to that state of matter: the experience

of the whole seven globes being needed to make

a perfect development.

 

Hence we have the Rounds and Races. The Round is a

circling of the seven centers of planetary consciousness;

the Race the racial development on one of those seven.

 

There are seven races for each globe, but the total of

forty-nine races only makes up seven great races,

the special septennate of races on each globe or planetary

center composing in reality one race of seven constituents

or special peculiarities of function and power.

 

The Planetary Chain

G R S Mead

Like everything else in the universe, this planetary cycle

is of a septenary nature, consisting of seven root changes

of state, which may, for convenience, be called "globes",

but should not be imagined to occupy different places in space,

but rather be thought of as images to represent changes of

state caused by the information of the nebulous and ethereal 

planetary matter, which evolves from, and involves into, itself.

 

These seven globes interpenetrate one another, although

they are divided each from the other in degree, or state, just

as the seven principles of man or the seven planes of

consciousness, are separated. What is to be remembered,

however, is that it is a separation of state and not of locality.

 

Evolution

William Quan Judge

If, then, everything is evolved, the word creation can only

be properly applied to any combination of things already in

existence, since the primordial matter or basis cannot be created.
