From 1924 to 1927, Katherine Tingley sponsored a series of private
studies in "The Secret Doctrine", with G de Purucker as lecturer.
This record of the meetings provides an excellent introduction to
H.P. Blavatsky's masterwork, yet it stands on its own as a clear
restatement of the philosophy expounded by all great thinkers and
sages. Beginning with the three fundamental postulates of the SD,
the presentation moves to cosmic and human evolution, with emphasis
on the interconnectedness of all beings. Other topics include man's
nature and destiny; avataras and buddhas; and, initiation, the
Mysteries, and ethical values.
In this title, time-honoured rules of ethical and spiritual conduct
are presented along with warnings against pitfalls of psychic
development. There is no shortcut to wisdom, no instant
enlightenment, for inner unfolding cannot be induced artificially.
While the path toward conscious union with our inner divinity
demands the utmost devotion, fidelity, and perseverance, it is also
'bright with joy, and lighted with the fires of the spirit'. This
book reproduces the first two sections of "Fountain-Source of
Occultism", so that the seeker may have readily to hand an inspired
vision of the path before him.
Derived from twelve booklets of instruction to private students,
"Fountain-Source" restores occultism to its original purity and
recreates the atmosphere and discipline of the ancient Mystery
schools. The scope of teaching is vast: the primeval
wisdom-teaching; discipline and the spiritual path; the genesis,
structure and destiny of galaxies and solar systems; correlations
of cosmic and human constitutions; death and the circulations of
the cosmos; and, invisible worlds and their inhabitants. This title
is addressed to all who sense the inter-relatedness of human
destiny with the cosmic design, and feel the call of altruistic
service to humanity.
This anthology of philosophy and mysticism consists of short,
independent articles combined with answers to over 200 questions on
theosophy and human problems that embrace a wide diversity of
themes: occultism and psychic phenomena, origins of Christianity,
evolution into the human kingdom, buddhas and bodhisattvas, studies
in "The Secret Doctrine" and "The Mahatma Letters", euthanasia,
afterdeath states of suicides, significance of dreams, Mystery
schools of today, and scores of other intriguing topics.
The solstices and equinoxes have been held sacred in many cultures.
This book explains the cosmic and human symbolism associated with
the earth's annual cycling round the sun, and the great initiatory
events which take place at these seasons. Key teachings on buddhas
and avataras, death and initiation, and the two paths of growth for
oneself and for others illumine not only the traditions of mankind,
but also the road which the aspirant daily seeks to tread.

Drawn from the author's talks with students, "Golden Precepts"
covers a variety of subjects: the inner god; thoughts, their
influence on character, and how they can be controlled; how to meet
suffering, old age, and death; the need for selfless love; buddhas
of compassion; and the path of spiritual growth.

This work will appeal to those who question Darwinist theories or
find untenable the customary theological dogmas of human origin.
Analysing theosophical doctrines of evolution in relation to
scientific fact, the author shows that 'man is his own history':
physically the repertory of all stocks below him; spiritually an
'intelligent agency' motivating and working through all forms
towards evolutionary perfection. This edition contains appendices
by Charles J. Ryan and Blair A. Moffett which compare findings of
the physical and life sciences with theosophic thought.
