  The Fourth Edition of the Upper Triad Material is currently in development. As the various chapters are completed, they will be published here first as chapters corresponding to the old series of sixty-four topical issues and several new topical issues, and then as complete volumes. There are eight volumes. The first is an introduction. The remaining seven volumes correspond to the Seven Rays.
|
Available chapters may be downloaded free-of-charge here in Adobe Portable Document Format ( PDF ). Viewing or printing a file in PDF requires Adobe Reader which most computers have already. The latest version may be downloaded free-of-charge from Adobe. The Upper Triad books and booklets are originally formatted in Microsoft Word, and then converted to PDF. Adobe PDF allows platform-independent text and graphics, and so PDF files should be accessible from virtually any computer platform.
|
Please note that some of these files are quite large. It is recommended that any desired pdf files be downloaded and saved to your hard drive and then opened.
|
This volume is an introduction to the Upper Triad Material. It contains an introduction and overview of the Upper Triad Material as well as introductory articles, glossary, and a cumulative index.
