Scott Elliot's 1902 Occult classic, Man's Place in the Universe, which was originally published by Theosophical Publishing Society (London and Benares). The text is reprinted here as found in the Theosophical Publishing Society's original 1902 edition. No copyright is claimed for this faithful copy of the original text, as it now resides in the Public Domain. ... Theosophy is the Divine Wisdom which has been handed down through the ages, and from it, as from a great root, have sprung all the religions which have enlightened man. ... Theosophy is the Science of Life--the knowledge about God, about the Universe, about man and his relative position in the scheme of things. God Himself only knows this Science in its sublime totality. ... The main outlines of the subject ... may be formulated thus: that the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man are fundamental facts. That the Law of absolute justice is all pervading--that Law which ordains that every thought we think, every word we speak, every action we perform, shall have its inevitable sequence for good or for evil, for happiness or for misery, to ourselves and to others, in ever-widening circles. That this Law has been operative through untold ages, and that our very existence here is in consequence of its action; that our earthly pilgrimage was not begun at birth, and will not be ended at death; that, while desire of life remains, we must inevitably return to incarnation, in order to work out the effects of our past thoughts, our past words, and our past actions, while the fresh causes we generate at every moment will in their turn produce effects which will have to be worked out through future lives. And, finally, that the great law of sacrifice--that law which has been more or less travestied by every religion in turn--is, when rightly understood, the final explanation of the deepest mysteries of being, and the crown of our most sublime attainment --- W. Scott Elliot. Description Copyright (c) 2018 Peter C. Dawson.
