A personal survey of the Christian faith and an introduction to Christian contemplative prayer.




Consists of over 1,500 articles, commentaries, and other features published between 1974 and the present, by the Upper Triad Association. Initially these were published through a series of monthly and bi-monthly printed journals and special issues, then through a series of printed topical issues, then through the Upper Triad website, and now through a series of books. The Upper Triad Material covers a wide range of subjects, concerned primarily with philosophy, psychology, religion, spirituality, and theosophy. For those who may not be familiar with the Upper Triad Material, following is an indication of the scope of each of the seven topical volume groups. Each of the various numbered articles and commentaries fits into one or more of these topics.
1. Purpose - The Underlying Force of Manifestation includes purpose, evolution, cosmogenesis, anthropogenesis, the seven rays, government, and the Bermuda Protocol.
2. Consciousness - The Focus of Evolution includes consciousness, the spiritual path, the spiritual group, the spiritual student, spiritual practice, spiritual work, and meditation.
3. Truth and Reality - The Implication for Human Consciousness includes truth and reality, meaning, values, philosophy, metaphysics, theosophy, the Enneads of Plotinus, and the Fourth Way of Ouspensky.
4. Karma - The Human Experience includes karma, the human being, human nature, experience, health and healing, right human relations, selected quotations, and synthetic triangles.
5. Knowledge - The Field of the Human Mind includes knowledge, science, mind, perception, psychology, perspective, the ego, and education.
6. Religion - The Relationship of the Human Being to God includes religion, eastern religions, western religions, mysticism, personal transformation, qualifications, yoga, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
7. Manifestation - The World of Form includes manifestation, occultism, psychic phenomena, magic, astrology, the tree of life, and cosmic fire.

( 2006 ) ( 30 volumes ) In this series all of the Upper Triad Material is organized topically. In other words, all of the various articles, commentaries, and miscellany are placed in various topical volumes, consistent with the various previously published 64 topical issues, except that this fourth edition contains additional articles and commentaries and a few additional chapters or topical issues. This fourth edition includes a cumulative alphabetical index. 63 of the topical chapters of the Fourth Edition are now available individually ( for convenience ) in the Chapters section of this website. Two additional chapters are currently in development. Each of the thirty volumes contains two or three chapters corresponding to two or three topical issues.

( 2004 ) ( 20 Volumes ) In this series all of the Upper Triad Material is organized by form ( articles, commentaries, miscellany ) and each item appears largely sequentially or chronologically. In other words, most of the numbered articles appear consecutively, though some series of articles are organized topically, and all numbered commentaries appear consecutively. In this edition there are three volumes of articles, fifteen volumes of commentaries, and two volumes of miscellany. Articles tend to be on more general topics and are relatively easy to read. Commentaries tend to have more depth. None are intended to be read intellectually. Each volume is indexed, and there is an overall index in the last volume ( Miscellany II ). All twenty titles are currently available.
