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.
