About This Book

A series of accessible essays presents core Theosophical teachings for a general readership, outlining belief in enlightened adepts who preserve esoteric knowledge, the doctrines of reincarnation and karma, and the idea of spiritual evolution through successive lives. It traces the formation and global expansion of a society devoted to universal brotherhood, describes disciple training and claims of hidden repositories of ancient records, and surveys the movement's publications, public responses, and organizational efforts to disseminate mystical and philosophical ideas to Western audiences.
