An Outline
of Theosophy
By
Charles
Webster Leadbeater
How
Is It Known ?
How did this scheme become known, some may ask; by
whom was itdiscovered? We cannot speak of it as discovered, for in truth it has
always been known to mankind, though
sometimes temporarily forgotten in certain parts of the world.
There has always existed a certain body of highly
developed men – men not of any one nation, but of all the advanced nations –
who have held it in its fullness; and there has always been pupils of these
men, who were specially studying it, while its broad principles have always
been known in the outer world.
This body of highly-developed men exists now, as in
past ages, and Theosophical teaching is published to the Western world at their
instigation, and through a few of their pupils.
Those who are ignorant have sometimes clamorously
insisted that, if this be so, these truths ought to have been published long
ago; and most unjustly they accuse the possessors of such knowledge of undue
reticence in withholding them from the world at large. They forget that all who
really sought these truths have always been able to find them, and that it is
only now that we are in the
Western world are truly beginning to seek.
For many centuries Europe was content to live, for the
most part, in the grossest superstition; and when reaction at last set in from
the absurdity and bigotry of those beliefs, it brought a period of atheism,
which was just as conceited and bigoted in another direction. So that it is
really only now that
some of the humbler and more reasonable of our people
are beginning to admit that they know nothing, and to enquire whether there is
not real information available somewhere.
Though these reasonable enquirers are as yet a small
minority, the Theosophical Society has been founded in order to draw them
together, and its books are put before the public so that those who will, may
read, mark, learn, and inwardly
digest these great truths. Its mission is not to force its teaching upon reluctant
minds, but simply to offer it, so that those may take it who feel the
need for it.
We are not in the least under the delusion of the poor
arrogant missionary, who dares to condemn to an unpleasant eternity every one
who will not pronounce his little provincial shibboleth; we are perfectly aware
that all will at last be well for those who cannot as yet see their way to
accept the truth, as well as for those who receive it with avidity.
But the knowledge of this truth has, for us and for thousands
of others, made life easier to bear and death easier to face; and it is simply
the wish to share these benefits with our fellow men that urges us to devote
ourselves to writing and lecturing on these subjects.
The broad outlines of the great truths have
been widely known in the world for thousands of years,
and are so known in the present day. It is only we in the West who, in our
incredible self-sufficiency , have remained ignorant of them, and scoffed at
any fragment of them which may
have come in our way.
As in the case of any other science, so in this
science of the soul, full details are known only to those who devote their
lives to its pursuit. The men who fully know – those who are called Adepts –
have patiently developed within themselves the powers necessary for perfect
observation. For in this respect there is a difference between the methods of
occult investigation and those of
the more modern form of science; this latter devotes
all its energy to the improvement of its instruments, while the former aims
rather at development of the observer.
