Those who see in life only a riddle, who see injustice on every hand, who cannot find peace of mind without some satisfying answer to the ancient questions, Who am I, Whence came I, and Whither do I go, who have touched the great problem of sorrow and would gladly make their lives count in service to their fellows if only they could find the way. Such as these it is believed will find much to inspire and help them in the appeal made in this little volume. For it is entirely to the noble qualities and the indwelling soul in man. Contents: What is Theosophy; The Great Discovery: Man Is Not But Two; The Path of the Mystic; Teacher and Student; The Heart-Cry of the World; Woman and the Theosophic Home; Raja-Yoga Ideals and the Child.

1928. From Occult Aphorisms, quoted in The Secret Doctrine: There are seven Forces in Man and in all Nature. The real substance of the Concealed (Sun) is a nucleus of Mother-Substance. It is the Heart and Matrix of all the living and existing Forces in our Solar Universe. It is the Kernel from which proceed to spread on their cyclic journeys all the Powers that set in action the Atoms, in their functional duties, and the Focus within which they again meet in their Seventh Essence every eleventh year. He who tells thee he has seen the Sun, laugh at him, as if he had said that the Sun moves really onward in his diurnal path....It is on account of this septenary nature that the Sun is spoken of by the ancients as one who is driven by seven horses equal to the metres of the Vedas; or, again, that, though he is identified with the seven Gana (Classes of Being) in his orb, he is distinct from them, as he is, indeed; as also that he has Seven Rays, as indeed he has....The Seven Beings in the Sun are the Seven Holy Ones, self-born from the inherent power in the Matrix of Mother-Substance. It is they who send the seven principal Forces, called Rays, which, at the beginning of Pralaya, will center into seven new Suns for the next Manvantara. The energy from which they spring into conscious existence in every Sun is what some people call Vishnu, which is the Breath of the Absoluteness.

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.
