Theosophy, On Earth, Is Like The White

Man Is Spiritual Being -- A Soul, In Other Words -- And That This Soul Takes On Different Bodies From Life To Life On Earth To Order At Last To Arrive At Such Perfect Knowledge, Through Repeated Experience, As To Enable One To Assume A Body Fit To Be The Dwelling-place Of A Mahatma Or Perfected Soul. Then, They Say, That Particular Soul Becomes A Spiritual Helper To Mankind.

But The First Differentiation Of Its Reflection In The Manifested World Is Purely Spiritual, And The Beings Generated In It Are Not Endowed With A Consciousness That Has Any Relation To The One We Conceive Of.

If Thou Would'st Have That Stream Of Hard-earn'd Knowledge, Of Wisdom Heaven-born, Remain Sweet Running Waters, Thou Should'st Not Leave It To Become A Stagnant Pond.

This Law -- Whether Conscious Or Unconscious --predestines Nothing And No One. It Exists From And In Eternity, Truly, For It Is Eternity Itself; And As Such, Since No Act Can Be Co-equal With Eternity, It Cannot Be Said To Act, For It Is Action Itself...karma Creates Nothing, Nor Does It Design. It Is Man Who Plans And Creates Causes, And Karmic Law Adjusts The Effects; Which Adjustment Is Not An Act, But Universal Harmony, Tending Ever To Resume Its Original Position.

Even In Our Day, Science Suspects Beyond The Polar Seas, At The Very Circle Of The Arctic Pole, The Existence Of A Sea Which Never Freezes And A Continent Which Is Ever Green.
