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.

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.
