Tum, or To?m The "Brothers of the Tum", a very ancient school of Initiation in Northern India in the days of Buddhist persecution. The "Turn B’hai" have now become the "Aum B’hai", spelt, however, differently at present, both schools having merged into one. The first was composed of Kshatriyas, the second of Brahmans. The word "Tum" has a double meaning, that of darkness (absolute darkness), which as absolute is higher than the highest and purest of lights, and a sense resting on the mystical greeting among Initiates, " Thou art thou, thyself ", equivalent to saying "Thou art one with the Infinite and the All".

Upasruti (Sanskrit). According to Orientahists a "supernatural voice which is heard at night revealing the secrets of the future ". According to the explanation of Occultism, the voice of any person at a distance -  -  generally one versed in the mysteries of esoteric teachings or an adept -  -  endowed with the gift of projecting both his voice and astral image to any person whatsoever, regardless of distance. The upasruti may "reveal the secrets of the future ", or may only inform the person it addresses of some prosaic fact of the present; yet it will still be an upasruti - the "double" or the echo of the voice of a living man or woman.

Solomon’s Seal. The symbolical double triangle, adopted by the T.S. and by many Theosophists.
 
Why it should be called "Solomon’s Seal" is a mystery, unless it came to Europe from Iran, where many stories are told about that mythical personage and the magic seal used by him to catch the djins and imprison them in old bottles. But this seal or double triangle is also called in India the "Sign of Vishnu ", and may be seen on the houses in every village as a talisman against evil.
 
The triangle was sacred and used as a religious sign in the far East ages before Pythagoras proclaimed it to be the first of the geometrical figures, as well as the most mysterious. it is found on pyramid and obelisk, and is pregnant with occult meaning, as are, in fact, all triangles.
 
Thus the pentagram is the triple triangle - the six-pointed being the hexalp ha. (See "Pentacle" and "Pentagram".) The way a triangle points determines its meaning. If upwards, it means the male element and divine fire; downwards, the female and the waters of matter; upright, but with a bar across the top, air and astral light ; downwards, with a bar - the earth or gross matter, etc., etc. When a Greek Christian priest in blessing holds his two fingers and thumb together, he simply makes the magic sign - by the power of the triangle or "trinity ".
