1921. This volume, presented in a question and answer format, is intended to be a primer for students of Theosophy.

1930. The author explains that the new theosophy is that which makes clear at every point that all forms are in the life and are less than the life, and that never is the life held or supported or carried in or by the forms. In the light of this essential truth, so often neglected, reincarnation, karma and evolution take on an entirely new appearance, and knowledge of their true effects in our lives invests us with new power and freedom. Contents Part 1. Life and Its Purpose: The Greatness of Life; The Value of Experience; The Great Active Principle; The Human Life-Cycle; The Function of Desire; The Goal of Life; The Way to the Goal; Bondage and Freedom; Progress and People; Brothers and Friends; and Masters and Men.

What are the essential teachings of Qabbalah, the Jewish esoteric wisdom passed on for millennia from teacher to pupil? This clear presentation concentrates on principal themes: the emanation of the universe, the Sefirothal Tree of Life and its cosmic and human symbology, the Four Worlds of creation, the Four Adams or Heavenly Archetypes, and the composite structure of our being and its bearing on sleep, death, and initiation. To elucidate their meaning, the author compares Qabbalistic concepts and symbols with equivalents in modern theosophy, particularly in the works of HP Blavatsky and G de Purucker, revealing Qabbalah as one stream of the universal wisdom tradition of mankind.
