About this book

For H. P. Blavatsky, the first demands of occult study are unselfish conduct and responsibility toward others. These collected essays distinguish Theosophy as a way of thinking and living from the practical pursuit of spiritual powers. In the opening essay, a teacher's obligations to a pupil carry enormous weight, and the conditions for instruction include a quiet setting, harmony among students and freedom from rivalry.

The volume includes Practical Occultism, Occultism versus the Occult Arts and The Blessings of Publicity. Its discussions of the mind, the soul and the Higher Self place personal ambition in conflict with spiritual discipline. Readers interested in Theosophy will find a demanding account of what Blavatsky believed such study required. Her arguments offer a way to examine the ethical expectations attached to occult practice, especially the insistence that knowledge and power cannot be separated from motive.
