DEITY, COSMOS & MAN
An Outline of Esoteric Science.
Geoffrey Farthing, 1993
Esoteric Science, the Wisdom Religion, embraces all that is good and true in the great religions of mankind, yet transcends them all. As far as can be expressed in words, it reflects Truth, insisting on the unity of the cosmic process. As we are of a like nature with the Cosmos, of one Essence, we are members of one family. This outline of the Wisdom teaching consists of extracts from the original literature with an illuminating commentary. We learn of the various levels of operation in the Cosmos and humanity; the personality, when unrestrained, tends to be entirely self-concemed, whilst the Individuality is rooted in the Divine Unity. As we become increasingly responsive to this Individuality, it exercises a unifying influence in our lives. A complete course in basic theosophy.

LETTERS THAT HAVE HELPED ME
W.Q. Judge. First published 1891
The experience of one student is, on the whole, the experience of all. Details differ: some are made more instantly rich than others, for they have put forth a more vigorous effort, or they have a Karmic store which brings aid. For those who need assistance on the Path, these short letters, by a co-founder of the Society, give moral uplift and practical inspiration in living the life.

THE OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY
W.Q. Judge. First published 1893.
'That man possesses an immortal soul is the common belief of humanity; to this Theosophy adds that he is a soul; and further that all nature is sentient [& that] all is soul and spirit ever evolving under the rule of law which is inherent in the whole. And just as the ancients taught, so does Theosophy; that the course of evolution is the drama of the soul and that nature exists for no other purpose than the soul's experience. ' From chapter 1 Subjects covered include: Theosophy & the Masters; Body & Astral Body; Reincarnation; Karma; Psychic Phenomena & Spiritualism.

THEOSOPHY, WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
Geoffrey Farthing. An elementary outline of principles. Revised edition.
Just What is Theosophy? We might know someone who thinks that they can answer this question accurately and objectively or perhaps we can look up a brief and, hopefully, unbiased defmition in a dictionary or encyclopedia, but how can we be certain of the answer? What is theosophy about? The author tells us that it is about the universe, its nature and origins; it is about mankind and his relationship to the Whole; it is about law that operates throughout nature, about evolution & individual responsibility. This simple little work aims to introduce the reader to some ideas to enlarge their outlook on life, and begin to answer the question: 'Theosophy: What's It All About?'
