Jinarajadasa dedicated his entire lifetime to "the work" and this 500 page plus tome is a monument to his dedication and ability to share these important principles with us. A masterpiece of Theosophic philosophy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Better titled, "First Principles of Neo-Theosophy", January 11, 2012

(REAL NAME)   
Jinarajadasa was a disciple of C.W. Leadbeater, one of the clearest and most-prolific theosophical writers of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Although lauded as an Initiate and clairvoyant, Leadbeater and his colleague, Annie Besant, departed from the original teachings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the central figure in the founding of the Theosophical Society, and the instruction of her Masters. They continued to utilize much of the original terminology, but altered the underlying philosophy into a system significantly at variance with the original.

It is this system, sometimes called, "Neo-Theosophy," which Mr. Jinarajadasa presents here. It is a clear and readable account of the Leadbeater-Besant map of the universe.

1.0 out of 5 stars S. King horror or childish nightmare?, February 15, 2006
I wasn't sure if this was from a S. King writing or some child night mare of a writing!

It's obvious that any one can write then have that book published.

Only the most outrageous of imagination could come with this fairy tale type of fantasia.

Sorry, but the author is searching for the truth in the wrong place! you Know?
