Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theosophy and New Thought The double title given to the book is not meant to imply that Theosophy and New Thought are approximately identical. The inclusion of the two in a single volume is rather a matter of convenience than of logical classification. We recognize that, while they have distinct points of similarity, they also exhibit quite apparent contrasts in spirit and content. In particular the intemperate speculation and headlong Orientalism of Theosophy are but partially reflected in New Thought. Both, however, make very high claims, and this fact justifies the subjecting of them to close scrutiny. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ocean of Theosophy N attempt is made in the pages of this book 2 to write of Theosophy in such a manner as to be understood by the ordinary reader. Bold statements are made in it upon the knowledge of the writer, but at the same time it is distinctly to be understood that he alone is responsi ble for what is therein written: the Theosophical' Society is not involved in nor bound by anything said in the book, nor are any of its members any the less good Theosophists because they may not accept what he has set down. The tone of settled convie tion which may be thought to pervade the chapters is not the result of dogmatism or conceit, but flows from knowledge 'based upon evidence and experience. Members of the Theosophical Society will notice that certain theories or doctrines have not been gone into. That is because they could not be treated with out unduly extending the book and arousing needless controversy. The subject of the Will has received no treatment, inasmuch as that power or faculty is hidden, subtle, undiscoverable as to essence, and only visible in effect. As it is absolutely colorless and varies in moral qual ity in accordance with the desire behind it, as also it acts frequently without our knowledge, and as it operates in all the kingdoms below man, there could. Be nothing gained by attempting to enquire into it apart from the Spirit and the desire. No originality is claimed for this book. The writer invented none of it, discovered none of it, but has simply written that which he has been taught and which has been proved to him. It therefore is only a handing on of what has been known before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Lectures on Theosophy There have been of late months so many en quiries about Theosophy that I thought I would take advantage of my being here for some time, to give a course of lectures covering practically the main outlines and teachings of this much talked of subject - Theosophy; so that any one who is not a student may be able to realise the general trend of thought and the scope of the subject with which we shall have to deal in the next five weeks. I Shall try to put the subject as plainly as it can well be put, and to avoid technical ities as far as possible, SO that nothing more may be wanted for the first understanding of this subject by a man who possesses a certain amount of in telligence and education. I do not pretend that Theosophy in all its aspects can be made intelligible to the uneducated or to the thoughtless. But, for a person of ordinary intelligence and education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Theosophy In an attempt to compile a brief, popular outline of so vast and far-reaching a movement as Theosophy, it becomes the writer to approach the subject with ab solute fearlessness and impartiality; and most of all is it necessary for whoever undertakes to write on so stupendous and universal a theme, to distinctly re member that no limited definition of the word, as applied to the tenets of any special society or school of thought, can possibly do justice to the term.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Wisdom: An Outline of Theosophical Teachings That such men lived it seems difficult to deny in the face of universal tradition, of still existing Scrip tures, and of prehistoric remains for the most part now in ruins, to say nothing of other testimony which the ignorant would reject. The sacred books of the East are the best evidence for the greatness of their authors, for who in later days or in modern times can even approach the spiritual sublimity of their religious thought, the intellectual splendor of their philosophy, the breadth and purity of their ethic? And when we find that these books contain teachings about God, man, and the universe identical in substance under much variety of outer appear ance, it does not seem unreasonable to refer them to a central primary body of doctrine. To that body we give the name of the Divine Wisdom, in its Greek form: theosophy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Diary Leaves: The True Story of the Theosophical Society Relates the origin and vicissitudes of the Theosoph ical Society should be unique. Whether viewed from the friendly or the unfriendly standpoint, it is equally strange that such a body should have come into existence when it did, and that it has not only been able to withstand the shocks it has had, but actually to have grown stron ger proportionately with the bitter unfairness of its ad versaries. One class of critics say that this fact strikingly proves a recrudescence of human credulity, and a religious unrest which is preliminary to a final subsid ence upon Western conservative lines. The other see in the progress of the movement the sign of a world-wide acceptance of Eastern philosophical ideas, which must work for the reinvigoration and incalculable broadening of the spiritual sympathies of mankind. The patent, the undeniable fact is, that up to the close of the year 1894, as the result of but nineteen years of activity, charters had been granted for 394 branches of the Society, in almost all parts of the habitable globe and that those issued in that latest year outnumbered the.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Theosophy TO those who remain content with the Church doctrine as preached by the clergy of to-day, and also with the self-guiding laws, void of Soul and Spirit, believed in by modern material scientists, it is advised that such beliefs be retained so long as they continue to supply comfort and satisfaction, and that the study of Theosophy for these persons be deferred meanwhile this book is offered firstly to Christians who have awakened to the fact that while for centuries they have been accepting their ideas of Christianity, ready made, from the hands of former generations, humanity, in the inevitable upward turn of its evolutionary course, has been slowly but surely transcending them, and from an ever-improving basis of mentality reaching out for something more satisfying than the empty husks of the religion which fed its fore fathers; and, secondly, to scientists who have become, or are becoming, aware that root-religion and Science cannot be separated inasmuch as they constitute the dual parts of the perfect Whole of that mechanism of Divinity which formed the modus operandi of Creation. It is through the medium of Theosophy (the soul of Science) that Spiritual wisdom, which greatly transcends all mundane knowledge, is imparted to it and leads it to heights of achievement undreamed of by materialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Echoes From the Orient: A Broad Outline of Theosophical Doctrines Were such doctrines held only in India, it would be natural to pass the subject by with this brief men tion. But when it is found that a large body of peo ple in America and Europe hold the same beliefs, it is interesting to note such an un-western develop ment of thought. The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875 with the avowed ob ject of forming a nucleus - Io} a Universal Brother hood, and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas directed them to establish such a society. Since its foundation it has gained members in all countries, including people of wealth as well as those in moderate circumstances, and the highly cultured also. Within its ranks there flourish beliefs in the Mahatmas of India and in Reincarnation and' its twin doctrine, Karma. This last holds that no power, human or divine, can save one from the con sequences of acts performed, and that in this life we are experiencing the results due to us for all acts and thoughts which were ours in the preceding incarna tion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Theosophy To comprehend the significance of great World changes, before Time has fully done his work, is difficult. While mighty events are still in their formative period the future is obscure. But our in ability to outline the future cannot blind us to the unmistakable trend of the evolutionary forces at work. One thing that is clear is that our boasted Christian civilization is the theater in which has been staged the most un-christian war of recorded history and in which human atrocity has reached a point that leaves us vaguely groping for a rational explanation of it. Another obvious fact is that the more than twenty nations involved have been forced into measures and methods before unknown and which wholly transform the recognized function and powers of governments. With these startling facts of re ligious and political significance before us thoughtful people are beginning to ask if we are not upon the threshold of a complete breaking down of modern civilization and the birth of a new order of things, in which direct government by the people throughout the entire world will be coincident with the rise of a universal religion based on the brotherhood of man.
