Oneness and the Monad
By Yvonne K. Burgess.
85 Pages | Printed 2009 | Softcover | The Theosophical Publishing House, London | No ISBN.
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 - 1891) (HPB) reminded one group of students not long before she died that during the study of Theosophy, it was essential for them to bear in mind the reality of Oneness and to have an understanding of the importance of the monad. This aspect was recorded by one of those students, Robert Bowen. Also, in The Secret Doctrine I, p. 614 she states:
" Those unable to seize the difference between the monad - the Universal Unit - and the Monads or the manifested Unity, as also the ever-hidden and the revealed LOGOS or the Word, ought never to meddle in philosophy, let alone the Esoteric sciences. "
As a being, man is a perfected animal, the vehicle of a fully developed Monad, self-conscious and deliberately following its own line of progress, whereas in the insect, and even the higher animal, the higher triad of principles is absolutely dormant. - CW X p. 313.
