The author defines occultism as "altruism pure and simple" the divine wisdom at the heart of religion. It is founded on the principle that divinity is concealed within every living being. As a spiritual discipline, occultism is the renunciation of selfishness which leads to wisdom.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. STUDIES IN OCCULTISM by H.P. Blavatsky; 1973 Vintage paperback Published by Theosophical Univ Press. Occultism is not magic, though magic is one of its tools. Occultism is not the acquirement of powers, whether psychic or intellectual, though both are its servants. Neither is occultism the pursuit of happiness, as men understand the word; for the first step is sacrifice, the second, renunciation. Occultism is the science of life, the art of living.Lucifer, Vol. I, p. 7. Seller Inventory # MS821
