It was felt that these writings still have some value, especially as a general introduction to the simple, yet complex, subject of theosophy. While there are a plethora of books out there on theosophy, this one for the first time brings all of these manuals into one book. If you also have the book: Introductory Guide to Theosophy — Theosophical Manuals under Katherine Tingley, you will notice some overlap; but for the beginner, or even one familiar with theosophy, the overlap of material can be helpful.
However, the manuals should not be considered a ‘textbook’ of theosophy. Theosophy, being wholly non-dogmatic, is impossible to state in unchanging hard-and-fast rules, bullet-points, or final declarations. It is rather stated in concepts that grow and change over time, especially in one’s understanding. Therefore this publication should be considered merely an introduction and jumping-off point in one’s studies, and not the end-all of any theosophical teaching.
Theosophy is as old as Humanity. It is in essence the truth about the Universe and Humanity, and when delved into fully, can show the student the pathway to a higher life. Study, dialogue, concentrated thought, and finally inculcation of these principles is crucial to understanding the technical teachings of theosophy. From a purely esoteric standpoint, all we need do is ‘live the life’ to know the doctrine. “Man, know thyself,” though an oft-repeated term, is so because of its complex simplicity. If we truly know who and what we are, by introspection, by living a compassionate life, and by knowing (living) altruism in all its aspects, we can also come to understand the essence of all things — the truth.
