Henry T. Laurency

Henry T. Laurency (pen name for Henrik Theofron Laurentius von Zeipel (July 9, 1882 – March 12, 1971)) was a Swedish esoteric philosopher and expounder of Pythagorean hylozoics.[1] He was born in Boxholm, Åsbo socken, Östergötland, Sweden.[2] He studied philosophy at Uppsala University, having as teachers the famous Swedish philosophers Axel Hägerström and Karl Hedvall. For the greater part of his life he studied the basic works of the esoteric tradition specially those written by H. P. Blavatsky, C. W. Leadbeater, Annie Besant and Alice A. Bailey.[3] Laurency died on March 12, 1971 in Annedal, Göteborg, Västergötland, Sweden.[4]

Work

Laurency considered that the presentations of the esoteric knowledge which were made up to his time (by H. P. Blavatsky, C. W. Leadbeater, Annie Besant and Alice A. Bailey to mention the most prominent ones) were somewhat unsuitable for Westerners as their manner of presentation as well as their terminology and symbolism had more proximity to Eastern mentality. In his several books he therefore presents the esoteric knowledge using a modern, lucid terminology and mathematical nomenclature in order to render it more compatible to the Western mind.[5]
