ISIS UNVEILED
H. P. Blavatsky
first published in New York in 1877.
'The work which is now submitted to public judgement is the fruit of a
somewhat intimate acquaintance with Eastern adepts and a study of their
science. It is offered to such as are willing to accept truth wherever
it may be found, and to defend it, even looking popular prejudice straight
in the face. It is an attempt to aid the student to detect the vital principles
which underlie the philosophical systems of old.' (From the preface)
In many ways a preparatory book to 'The Secret Doctrine', in her first
major work Madame Blavatsky tackles the dogmas of nineteenth century religion
and science, based upon habits of thought still prevalent today, and sheds
new light on the Wisdom Teachings of old.

THE SECRET DOCTRINE
H. P. Blavatsky
first published 1888.
Vol. 1 Cosmogenesis & Vol. 2 Anthropogenesis
In all ages, and in all lands, the belief has existed that a divine degree
of knowledge is possible to human beings under certain conditions, and
the conviction has dwelt in the hearts of people that living men exist
who possess this knowledge. In ancient days, some of this higher knowledge
was taught in the Mystery Schools, traces of which have been found among
all the nations of the earth. In more modern days, its existence has been
suspected by intuitive thinkers, who have called it by various names,
such as the 'Wisdom Religion', 'Gnosis' or 'Esoteric Philosophy'. H P
Blavatsky's magnum opus is intended to present a wholly coherent outline
of an ageless doctrine, a system of thought based upon occult facts and
universal truths inherent in nature.

LIGHT ON THE PATH &
THROUGH THE GATES OF GOLD
Mabel Collins.
"Before the eyes can see, they must be incapable of tears. Before
the ear can hear, it must have lost its sensitiveness. Before the voice
can speak in the presence of the Masters it must have lost the power to
wound ..."
These are two inspirational tracts for daily living, written under inspiration
by an early member of the movement. Light on the Path is subtitled 'A
treatise written for the personal use of those who are ignorant of the
eastern wisdom, and those who desire to enter within its influence' and
contains an appendix on Karma, whilst Through the Gates of Gold deals
with entrance to that realm of the soul unknowable through sense-perception,
and indicates some of the steps necessary to reach their threshold.
