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.

( 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. |
