" What hink ye of Christ, whose son is he?" Humane child of human parents, or divine Son of the Almighty God? When we consider his purity, his faith in the Father, his forgiving patience, his devoted work among the offscourings of society, his brotherly love to sinners and outcasts¿ when our minds dwell on these alone,¿we all feel the marvellous fascination which has drawn millions to the feet of this "son of man," and the needle of our faith begins to tremble towards the Christian pole. If we would keep unsullied the purity of our faith in God alone, we are obliged to turn our eyes some times¿however unwillingly¿towards the other side of the picture and to mark the human weaknesses which remind us that he is but one of our race. His harshness to his mother, his bitterness towards some of his opponents, the marked failure of one or two of his rare prophecies, the palpable limitation of his knowledge ¿ little enough, indeed, when all are told,¿are more than enough to show us that, however great as man, he is not the All-righteous, the All- seeing, the All-knowing, God."

" Seize ans et demi se sont écoulés depuis qüHéléna Petrovna Blavatsky a quitté ce monde mortel.On continue néanmoins à attaquer sa véracité, sa réputation ; des gens honnêtes, des personnes sympathiques se détournent encore de la Société théosophique en disant : « Nous ne tenons pas à en faire partie ; elle a été fondée par Mme Blavatsky, qui fut convaincue de fraude par la Société des Recherches psychiques. » Les articles qui la défendirent à l¿époque sont depuis longtemps épuisés et oubliés. Le docteur Hodgson, auteur du rapport de la S.R.P. 2 , a ajouté foi depuis à des phénomènes beaucoup plus étonnants que ceux qüil a niés dans la présomption de ses jeunes années, et s¿est trouvé lui-même en butte aux faux rapports et au ridicule.

What is Karma? How does it work? Can it be modified according to our will? Approaching the concept of Karma in a didactic way, Annie Besant, one of the most important figure of the theosophical movement, sees it as a law of cause and effect determined by our actions.This Premium Edition comes with an Easy to Read Layout making reading comfortable.Excerpt :"Every thought of man upon being evolved passes into the inner world, and becomes an active entity by associating itself, coalescing we might term it, with an elemental-that is to say, with one of the semi-intelligent forces of the kingdoms. It survives as an active intelligence-a creature of the mind's begetting-for a longer or shorter period proportionate with the original intensity of the cerebral action which generated it. Thus a good thought is perpetuated as an active, beneficent power, an evil one as a maleficent demon. And so man is continually peopling his current in space with a world of his own, crowded with the offspring of his fancies, desires, impulses and passions; a current which reacts upon any sensitive or nervous organization which comes in contact with it, in proportion to its dynamic intensity. The Buddhist calls it his "Skandha"; the Hindu gives it the name of " Karma"."
Qu'est-ce que le Karma ? Comment fonctionne-t-il ? Peut-il être modifié selon notre volonté ? Figure centrale du mouvement théosophique, Annie Besant aborde ici de façon didactique le concept de Karma qu'elle envisage comme une loi de cause à effet déterminée par nos actions et dont les conséquences ont des applications dans toutes les sphères de la vie, y compris après la mort.Dans cette édition, la mise en page et la taille des caractères ont été optimisés pour une lecture confortable.Extrait :"Chaque pensée humaine qui commence son évolution passe dans le monde intérieur et devient une entité active, par son association, ou ce que nous pourrions appeler sa fusion avec un élémental, c'est-à-dire avec l'une des forces semi-intelligentes des divers règnes de la Nature. Elle survit comme une intelligence agissante, comme un être engendré par l'Esprit, pendant un temps plus ou moins long, selon l'intensité initiale de l'action cérébrale qui l'a produite. Une pensée bonne se perpétue, de la sorte, comme une puissance bienfaisante et active ; une mauvaise pensée, comme un démon malfaisant. L'homme peuple ainsi continuellement le courant qui l'entoure dans l'espace, avec un monde à lui, rempli des produits de son imagination, de ses désirs, de ses impulsions et de ses passions ; ce courant réagit d'ailleurs sur tout organisme nerveux où sensitif qui vient en contact avec lui, proportionnellement à l'intensité dynamique de celui-ci. C'est ce que le Bouddhiste appelle son Skandha , l'Hindou lui donne le nom de Karma ."
In this first discourse we shall concern ourselves with the gaining of a general idea of the subject of Yoga, seeking its place in nature, its own character, its object in human evolution These lectures are intended to give an outline of Yoga, in order to prepare the student to take up, for practical purposes, the Yoga sutras of Patanjali, the chief treatise on Yoga. I have on hand, with my friend Bhagavan Das as collaborateur, a translation of these Sutras, with Vyasa's commentary, and a further commentary and elucidation written in the light of Theosophy. To prepare the student for the mastering of that more difficult task, these lectures were designed; hence the many references to Patanjali. They may, however, also serve to give to the ordinary lay reader some idea of the Science of sciences, and perhaps to allure a few towards its study.

The present volume is a compilation of essays and lectures on the topic of reincarnation authored by Annie Besant. A socialist and feminist activist during her early youth, in 1889 the life trajectory of Annie Besant (1847-1933) suffered a drastic shift when she was asked to write a professional review of the magnum opus of theosophical teachings entitled "The Secret Doctrine" by Madame Blavatsky. It is said that as Besant turned page after page, it was as if a long lost vision of truth flashed through her mind, thus becoming an eager student of Theosophy for the rest of her life, and even becoming the second international president of the Theosophical Society in 1907. Appreciated by Mahatma Gandhi, who said that "she awakened Indian people from their deep slumber," a few years later Annie Besant became the legal guardian of a young boy called Jiddu Krishnamurti, who would grow to become one of the greatest and most authentic sages of the XX century.The present volume is formed of four essays which, when considered together, offer a comprehensible introduction into the topic of Reincarnation as defended by modern Theosophy and the esoteric teachings of many spiritual traditions. The lectures and essays contained in this volume-which in the present edition benefit from annotations by Sonchis Triacorda-are commonly known as: Proofs of the Existence of the Soul The Seven Principles of Man Reincarnation Man and His Bodies
