THE
OF
THEOSOPHY
A Definitive Work on Theosophy
By
William Quan Judge
PREFACE
An attempt is made in the pages of this book to write
of theosophy in such a manner as to be understood by the ordinary reader. Bold
statements are made in it upon the knowledge of the writer, but at the same
time it is distinctly to be understood that he alone is responsible for what is
therein written: the Theosophical Society is not involved in nor bound by
anything said in the book, nor are any of its members any the less good
Theosophists because they may not accept what I have set down. The tone of
settled conviction which may be thought to pervade the chapters is not the
result of dogmatism or conceit, but flows from knowledge based upon evidence
and experience.
Members of the Theosophical Society will notice that
certain theories or doctrines have not been gone into. That is because they
could not be treated without unduly extending the book and arousing needless
controversy.
The subject of the Will has received no treatment,
inasmuch as that power or faculty is hidden, subtle, undiscoverable as to
essence, and only visible in effect. As it is absolutely colourless and varies
in moral quality in accordance with the desire behind it, as also it acts
frequently without our knowledge, and
as it operates in all the kingdoms below man, there
could be nothing gained by attempting to enquire into it apart from the Spirit
and the desire.
I claim no originality for this book. I invented none
of it, discovered none of it, but have simply written that which I have been
taught and which has been proved to me. It therefore is only a handing on of
what has been known before.
WILLIAM Q. JUDGE
New York, May, 1893.
