An excerpt from the beginning of SHORT LESSONS IN THEOSOPHY. Ques. - What is true Theosophy? Ans. - Theosophy is the master-key of eternity to the understanding of God and man. True Theosophy is a question of spiritual development, of soul revelation, of finding the Christ within, listening to the Divine Logos - the Word. When we can find God within, where both Jesus and Buddha say God resides, we realize our divine nature. Genuine Theosophy is the Christ of this truth rising out of the tomb of error, it is the doctrine of self-control, the crucifixion of the senses, the liberation of the spirit from passion, the resurrection of all that is divine within us. Theosophy is a spiritual science, it is a knowledge of the eternal true science, to know the Christ, the living Word which speaks from the Infinite Divine Being. The spirit is resurrected, there is henceforth no more death. The true Theosophist drinks his inspiration from the spiritual air, and knowledge of the universe becomes to him an open book. We outgrow sacerdotalism, we become true priests, our daily sacrifice the daily surrender of the lower to the higher nature.
