OUR whole life, in this present form of existence is compounded of pleasure and pain, and we cannot conceive of any state in which we shall retain consciousness without their aid; they not only constitute our life here, but they actually are the Golden Gates which admit us to the life beyound.

PART I

PROLOGUE

Some part of what I have seen myself on the battlefield of 1914-1915 I will set forth as plainly as possible; for it deeply concerns my theme, and bears on it.

Sensa

The story of Sensa, as told with marvelous and mystic art in The Idyll of the White Lotus contains within itself three narratives, separate yet inseparable, united in their very nature and essence, as are the three leaflets of the trefoil clover.

Idyll of the White Lotus by Mabel Collins

Behold I stood alone, one among many, an isolated individual in the midst of a united crowd. And I was alone, because, among all the men my brethren who knew, I alone was the man who both knew and taught. I taught the believers at the gate, and was driven to do this by the power that dwelleth in the sanctuary. I had no escape, for in that deep darkness of the most sacred shrine, I beheld the…

Ebook - Light on the Path recorded by Mabel Collins
Light on the Path is a perennial favorite of Theosophical literature written by Mabel Collins in 1885. Its subtitle is "a treatise written for the personal use of those who are ignorant of the eastern wisdom, and who desire to enter within its influence."
