Cosmic Review
The Cosmic Review was the journal of the Cosmic Movement established by Max Théon around the turn of the twentieth century, at the instigation of his wife Alma Théon, who he declared to be the moving spirit behind this idea. The ''Cosmic Review'' was intended for the "study and re-establishment of the original Tradition", and became the Movement's mouthpiece. Its first editor was Charles Barlet; and Théon, under the name of Aia Aziz, was its Director. Later Mirra Alfassa took over the role of editor. The Théons and their students published a number of articles and narratives in the seven years of the ''Cosmic Review'' – from January 1902 to December 1908. Following the death of Alma in 1908, Théon suspended production of the magazine. The ''Cosmic Review'' is currently available in French, published by Aken Editions.

Cosmic Movement
The Cosmic Movement was the organisation established by Max Théon around 1900, in Tlemcen, Algeria, at the instigation of his wife Alma Théon, whom he declared to be the moving spirit behind the group. Its journal was the '' Cosmic Review''. Other publications included the '' Cosmic Tradition'', and other works of the Cosmic philosophy. Among the most important of Théon's students at this time, who were involved in the Cosmic Movement, in Tlemcen and later in Paris, were Charles Barlet, Mirra Alfassa, Paul Richard, and Louis Themanlys. According to Pascal Themanlys, other active contributors of the Cosmic Movement included Rene Caillie, the writer Marc Semenoff, the typesetter Jacques Janin, the painters Jacques Blot and Louis Bouchet, the architect Louis Berthaud, Maurice Ben Haroche, the Baroness of Eichthal, among others.

Max Théon
Max Théon (17 November 1848 – 4 March 1927) perhaps born Louis-Maximilian Bimstein, was a Polish Jewish Kabbalah, Kabbalist and Occultism, Occultist. In London while still a young man, he inspired The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor in 1884, but seemed to have little to do with the day-to-day running of the organisation, or indeed its actual teachings (Chanel ''et al.'', ''Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor''). There is some dispute over whether Théon taught Blavatsky at some stage; the Mother in The Agenda (Mother), The Agenda says he did, Chanel et al. considers this unlikely, while K. Paul Johnson speculates in ''The Masters Revealed'' that the Theosophical'' adept'' Tuitit Bey might be based on Théon. The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor claimed to have originated in Egypt in 1870 and been brought to England by Théon in 1884. In 1885 Théon married Mary Chrystine Woodroffe Ware Alma Théon, (Madame Alma Théon), and the following year the couple moved to Paris. In December ...

Charles Barlet
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its depr ...

Mirra Alfassa
Mirra Alfassa (21 February 1878 – 17 November 1973), known to her followers as The Mother, was a spiritual guru, occultist and yoga teacher, and a collaborator of Sri Aurobindo, who considered her to be of equal yogic stature to him and called her by the name "The Mother". She founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and established the town of Auroville; she was influential on the subject of Integral Yoga. Mirra Alfassa (Mother) was born in Paris in 1878 to a Sephardi Jewish bourgeois family. In her youth, she traveled to Algeria to practice occultism along with Max Théon. After returning, while living in Paris, she guided a group of spiritual seekers. In 1914, she traveled to Pondicherry, India and met Sri Aurobindo and found in him "the dark Asiatic figure" of whom she had had visions and called him Krishna. During this first visit, she helped publish a French version of the periodical ''Arya'', which serialized most of Sri Aurobindo's post-political prose writings. During th ...

Pascal Themanlys
Pascal Themanlys (27 September 1909 – 25 June 2000) was a French (later Israeli) poet, Zionist, and Kabbalist. His books on Jewish mysticism have been published in French, English and Hebrew. Pascal was born in Paris; his French parents Louis and Claire Themanlys were important disciples of Max Theon, and in charge of the "Cosmic Movement" in France. Pascal himself only met Theon once in 1920 (when he was eleven, Théon was well into his seventies), although he claimed later he was initiated by his father Louis. This supplemented his own studies of traditional Lurianic Kabbalah. At fifteen, he published his first collection of poems, work of poems, a booklet called the ''Emerald Monocle'', in 1924. He met a number of important authors and artists such as Rabindranath Tagore and Paul Valéry. In 1934 his book ''Les merveilles du Becht'' (''Wonders of Becht'') was published, the first book in French about the Baal Shem Tov. During the Second World War he was a member of the Fren ...

French Language
French ( or ) is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French ( Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the ( Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France's past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French. French is an official language in 29 countries across multiple continents, most of which are members of the ''Organisation internationale de la Francophonie'' ...

Magazines Established In 1902
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
