HORNET

An
upmarket version of the Mini
A
1930s Wolseley Hornet sports car
The
bodywork for these was made to order by a coachbuilder
of the customer’s choice and there were many
variations of this car.
The
series ran from 1930 to 1935
The Wolseley Hornet both in its 1930s sports
car
incarnation, and its 1960s posh mini version, has
very
little (in fact nothing) to do with Theosophy
but
we have found that Theosophists and new
enquirers
do like pictures of classic cars
and
we get a lot of positive feedback.

The
Ancient Wisdom
by
Annie
Besant
Theosophy Wales are pleased to present The Ancient Wisdom , a core work on
Theosophy written in 1897 by an early
member and International President of the Adyar Theosophical Society.
Annie Besant introduces the Work
in the following preface;
This book is intended to
place in the hands of the general reader an epitome of theosophical teachings,
sufficiently plain to serve the elementary student, and sufficiently full to
lay a sound foundation for further knowledge. It is hoped that it may serve as
an introduction to the profounder works of H.P.Blavatsky,
and be a convenient steppingstone to their study.
Those who have learned a
little of the Ancient Wisdom know the illumination, the peace, the joy, the
strength, its lessons have brought into their lives. That this book may win
some to con its teachings, and to prove for themselves their value, is the
prayer with which it is sent forth into the world.
Annie Besant,
August 1897

“G” reg Aug 1968 – July 1969 Wolseley Hornet MK III
The
1960s Wolseley Hornet was produced by the British Motor Corporation
(BMC)
from 1961 to 1969 and was upgraded thro’ MKI, II & III models
although the outward design remained the same.
The
Wolseley Hornet was similar to the more expensive Riley Elf which ran
for the same period with only the Riley grill
and badge to distinguish
it to the casual observer.

A
1931 Wolseley Hornet saloon style convertible
The Wolseley Hornet was a
lightweight saloon car produced by the Wolseley Motor Company from 1930 to
1935.
It had a six cylinder (1271cc) engine with a single overhead cam, and
hydraulic brakes. The engine was modified in 1932 to make it shorter and it was
moved forwards on the chassis. In 1935 the engine size was increased to
1378 cc.
Wolseley supplied the firsts cars as either an enclosed saloon with steel
or fabric body or open two seater. From 1931 it was available without the
saloon body, and was used as the basis for a number of sporting specials for
which the customer could choose a styling from a range of coachbuilders. In
1932 Wolsley added two and four seat coupés to the range. For its final year of
production the range was rationalised to a standard saloon and coupé.
A three speed gearbox was fitted to the earliest cars but this was upgraded
to a four speed in 1932 and fitted with synchromesh from 1933. A freewheel
mechanism could be ordered in 1934.The engine was also used in a range of MG
cars.

introduced in the mid sixties.
This
became standard on many BMC models including the Mini, 1100, 1300
& 1800 models. Suspension was maintained by
means of a sealed fluid system
which was claimed to be very comfortable but
appeared to make some people
seasick in the larger cars. As the cars got older,
the suspension might burst
causing the car’s suspension to collapse on one
side meaning a difficult
drive home or to a garage.

Annie
Besant’s “The Seven Principles of Man” was written in 1909 and has long been
recognized as an authoritative introduction to the Theosophical model of the visible
and invisible aspects of ourselves.
Yes, we all operate at 7 levels
We’re
all familiar with the physical body and to some people the physical body is the
whole self.
It is, however,
a bit more complicated than that and can be a bit of a shock for those who
identify too closely with the physical self.
Our
physical body represents only the visible manifestation of ourselves on the
physical plane of nature. There are six other planes of nature and we are all
represented on each one. To put in an appearance we have a body or principle
corresponding to each plane. Anne Besant now takes you through the seven
aspects that we all have.
Intoduction The Dense Physical Body The Etheric Double
Prana, The Life The Desire Body Manas, The Thinker, or Mind
The Quaternary, Or Four Lower Principles
Subtle Forms of The Fourth and Fifth Principle
The Higher Manas Âtma – Buddhi, The Spirit Manas in Activity
