That Cruelest Of Tyrants - Public Opinion.

I Speak "with Absolute Certainty" Only So Far As My Own Personal Belief Is Concerned. Those Who Have Not The Same Warrant For Their Belief As I Have, Would Be Very Credulous And Foolish To Accept It On Blind Faith. Nor Does The Writer Believe Any More Than Her Correspondent And His Friends In Any "authority" Let Alone "divine Revelation"!

Every One Of The Numberless Religions And Religious Sects Views The Deity After Its Own Fashion; And, Fathering On The Unknown Its Own Speculations, It Enforces These Purely Human Outgrowths Of Overheated Imagination On The Ignorant Masses, And Calls Them "revelation." As The Dogmas Of Every Religion And Sect Often Differ Radically, They Cannot Be True. And If Untrue, What Are They?

The Whole Order Of Nature Evinces A Progressive March Towards A Higher Life.

The Essence Of Theosophy Is The Perfect Harmonizing Of The Divine With The Human In Man, The Adjustment Of His God-like Qualities And Aspirations, And Their Sway Over The Terrestrial Or Animal Passions In Him. Kindness, Absence Of Every Ill Feeling Or Selfishness, Charity, Goodwill To All Beings, And Perfect Justice To Others As To Oneself, Are Its Chief Features. He Who Teaches Theosophy Preaches The Gospel Of Goodwill; And The Converse Of This Is True Also — He Who Preaches The Gospel Of Goodwill, Teaches Theosophy.

Theosophy Is Who Theosophy Does, Not Thinks, Not Studies, Not Feels But Does.
