Glossary of Terms

This glossary provides definitions, etymologies, and meanings of select words from all forms of science, philosophy, religion, and art from every major tradition in the world, and therefore embrace the whole of human experience.

We drink deeply from the world's great treasure of language and mystical expression, and take full advantage of the power of words. We know that what cannot be expressed accurately in one language may find its perfect meaning in another tongue. Therefore, we provide this glossary so that you may understand with precision the words that we use.

Quote of the Moment

"When we realise what powers have been placed within us by Nature we appreciate them and do not use them heedlessly; though at first we do not know the minuteness of its detail. One of Nature’s laws is that no one should use them to the disadvantage of another person, no matter how ignorant or learned he may be."

- M, The Dayspring of Youth
