THE GROWTH OF THE SOUL A SEQUEL TO “ESOTERIC BUDDHISM”  (Paperback, A. P. SINNETT)

About the book:-The author had made an elaborate arrangement to explore new avenues. The gulf which lies between the thinking of the ordinary world in reference to matters having to do with the destinies of the human soul, and the position occupied by those students of the school with which he is especially concerned is widening, year by year. The explanations given in the present volume concerning the principles on which the growth of the soul proceeds, have been rendered possible by the continual expansion in this way of the fundamental teaching put forward in “Esoteric Buddhism. ” But nothing in this later presentation of the subject has been the fruit of mere intellectualspeculation. Readers chiefly familiar with metaphysics in their non-theosophical aspect are used to regarding them as altogether speculative, but however slowly those outside the central nucleus of Theosophical activities may recognise the fact, the fact nevertheless is that metaphysical experiment and observation have now become possible for a good many people still in direct relations with ordinary humanity. The information so attained is essentially necessary to a comprehension of the natural possibilities lying before man in connexion with that growth of his soul to which this volume relates. Occult teaching casts a light to almost immeasurable distances along this path of progress, recognising the continued individuality of every human being as extending through an infinite multiplicity of changes and varied states, the whole process moving in great cycles in which we return ever and anon to the physical plane of existence, and gather from each great sweep of the spiral evolution something which is contributed to the truly permanent entity constituting the individual soul.
