Three pieces of small notebook paper contain hand-written notes on subjects associated with Theosophy, a mystical philosophy of life and nature that relies on the idea of 'lost lands,' such as Atlantis and Lemuria, and archaic conceptions of race. The first page is a two-column chart with a numbered list of Sanskrit-based terms such as 'anupadaka,' 'atma' and 'buddhi' on the left, and terms such as 'virgin spirit,' 'divine spirit' and 'life spirit' on the right, with circled numbers in descending order in red pencil. Two triangles with their apexes facing each other straddle the dividing line. The second page contains a reference to 'The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception' by Max Heindel, and to Oceanside, CA, where Heindel founded The Rosicrucian Fellowship in 1909. The third contains a list of 'periods' and 'epochs' related to Theosophic ideas of race; the Atlantean epoch includes the names of Native American civilizations, such as Toltec, alongside those of others, both historical and imagined. Written sideways on that page is the mathematical expression '31104 x 10^10."
