INTRODUCTORY NOTE
With this publication we continue the series of Theosophical Study Papers directed, primarily, to Australian TS Centres, to members of The Theosophical Society in Australia and to those interested in the study of Theosophy, the Perennial Wisdom.
Throughout the publication of this series we continue to bear : in mind the spirit of enquiry and search for truth which has animated the TS since its foundation 127 years ago. In an important Resolution in 1924, the General Council, the Society's international governing body, declared that "no teacher, or writer, from H.P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members."
These Study Papers are offered for the consideration and study of TS members and non-members alike who are interested in theosophical teachings. Only the individual student can ascertain, within the field of his or her own experience, whether the teachings can throw light on life's deeper aspects.

Gender Usage: In accordance with preferred editorial practices today, the use of one gender (usually the masculine) to cover both genders is avoided as far as possible in these Study Papers. However, the Education Unit believes that writings in which one gender is used in this way should be printed as originally written. This applies particularly to older writings but also to some contemporary ones.
