Theosophy Blesses The World; Theology

Man Is Spiritual Being -- A Soul, In Other Words -- And That This Soul Takes On Different Bodies From Life To Life On Earth To Order At Last To Arrive At Such Perfect Knowledge, Through Repeated Experience, As To Enable One To Assume A Body Fit To Be The Dwelling-place Of A Mahatma Or Perfected Soul. Then, They Say, That Particular Soul Becomes A Spiritual Helper To Mankind.

We Must Prepare And Study Truth Under Every Aspect, Endeavoring To Ignore Nothing, If We Do Not Wish To Fall Into The Abyss Of The Unknown When The Hour Shall Strike.

To Act And Act Wisely When The Time For Action Comes, To Wait And Wait Patiently When It Is Time For Repose, Put Man In Accord With The Rising And Falling Tides (of Affairs). So That With Nature And Law At His Back, And Truth And Beneficence As His Beacon Light, He May Accomplish Wonders. Ignorance Of This Law Results In Periods Of Unreasoning Enthusiasm On The One Hand, And Depression On The Other. Man Thus Becomes The Victim Of The Tides When He Should Be Their Master.

The Mind Is The Slayer Of The Real, Let The Disciples Slay The Slayer.

The Exercise Of Magical Power Is The Exercise Of Natural Powers, But Superior To The Ordinary Functions Of Nature. A Miracle Is Not A Violation Of The Laws Of Nature, Except For Ignorant People. Magic Is But A Science, A Profound Knowledge Of The Occult Forces In Nature, And Of The Laws Governing The Visible Or The Invisible World. Spiritualism In The Hands Of An Adept Becomes Magic, For He Is Learned In The Art Of Blending Together The Laws Of The Universe, Without Breaking Any Of Them And Thereby Violating Nature.
