This book explains the basic tenets of theosophy (the occult) including:
The astral plane (a form of purgatory between reincarnations; Rebirth and Reincarnation; Contact with the dead; and the spiritual evolution of humanity.
I didn't like the book because the author provided very little basis for theosophical beliefs. It felt like he just plucked some ideas out of the air and put them together. He also claimed that Indian people are at a lower level of evoluation than British people, something I found to be very racist. Finally, he provided no ideas for putting theosophical beliefs into practice. There was no explanation of what a theosophist does in practice, and how theosophical beliefs would influence their daily life.
