Thought-provoking and inspiriting, "The Gods Await" applies
theosophic principles to human life and thought, emphasising
remedies for man's inhumanity to man. It discusses freedom of
ideas, world peace, and reformation of the criminal justice system
setting forth the problems with their root-causes and possible
solutions. Speaking to the intuition as well as the intellect, the
author encourages us to recognise our duality and look to the
spiritual centre within, then act fearlessly for there is always
another chance, no matter what our apparent failures. Here is a
plea for social action and individual renewal based on
self-knowledge, compassion, and the innate divinity of mankind.
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.
This is one of the best introductions to theosophy. Written with
directness and warmth, this book shares a universal perspective on
the central questions of human existence, while providing practical
insights on daily living and spiritual growth. Offering a
thoughtful critique of religious and scientific views and current
practices in light of theosophy, the author presents the foundation
ideas of mankind s spiritual heritage, addressing our
responsibility as partners in a oneness that reaches to the core of
each and every being. In so doing she suggests how we can live with
dignity, purpose, and compassion, whatever our circumstances.

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.

Behind the world's religions, philosophies, and sciences lies the
hidden source of humanity's inner life and spiritual sustenance.
Through the intellectual awakening of infant mankind millions of
years ago, to the subsequent misuse of knowledge which led to the
foundation of Mystery colleges by great sages and seers, "The
Mystery Schools" traces this movement back to the earliest times.
It describes the role of the brotherhood of adepts in discovering,
disseminating, and preserving the truths of nature and man, and
discusses the purposes and methods of the Mysteries, the pattern of
esotericism, routes of initiation, and the Mystery schools today.
