Dzyu
Dzyu, also spelled Dgiü or Dgyu, is a unidentified term, used by H. P. Blavatsky and the Mahatmas. Mme. Blavatsky defined it as follows:
Dzyu is the one real (magical) knowledge, or Occult Wisdom; which, dealing with eternal truths and primal causes, becomes almost omnipotence when applied in the right direction. Its antithesis is Dzyu-mi, that which deals with illusions and false appearances only, as in our exoteric modern sciences.[1]
In the "Cosmological Notes" written by Mahatma M. he relates Dgyu to real knowledge, and states:
Real knowledge deals with eternal verities and primal causes. The unreal only with illusory effects.
Dgyu stands independent of the belief or unbelief of man. Dgyu-mi requires faith — rests on authority. . . . The Lhas or adept alone possesses the real, his mind being en rapport with the Universal Mind.
The Lhas has made the perfect junction of his soul with the Universal Mind in its fulness, which makes him for the time a divine being existing in the region of absolute intelligence, knowledge of natural laws or Dgyu.[2]
In The Secret Doctrine Dzyu is used in a more specific sense for "the expression of the collective Wisdom of the Dhyani-Buddhas".[3] In Stanza V. 2 it is stated that the Dzyu is the origin of Fohat.[4] This definition is also found in the "Cosmological Notes" from Mahatma M.:
Dgyu becomes Fohat when in its activity — active agent of will — electricity — no other name.[5]
