by which it serves the Master in the outer world.

As man grows to realize clearly that he is not this outer self, consisting of a human mind and its body of flesh, but is that which is dwelling in the body and teaching the mind its purpose of physical expression and how properly to use and care for the body, he soon becomes more or less aware of the inner world of spirit where is his true home and life. That awareness will gradually unfold until it is the natural life and consciousness of every awakened soul, and this article is to help prepare men’s minds for such realization, as well as to explain what many are becoming aware of these days.

“There is a road, steep and thorny, beset with perils of every kind—but yet a road; and it leads to the Heart of the Universe. I can tell you how to find Those who will show you the secret gateway that leads inwards only, and closes behind the neophyte for evermore. There is no danger that dauntless courage cannot conquer. There is no trial that spotless purity cannot pass through. There is no difficulty that strong intellect cannot surmount. For those who win onwards, there is reward past all telling—the power to bless and save humanity. For those who fail there are other lives in which success may come.”
—H. B. Blavatsky
