[Anthony Zappia · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting account of the events surrounding the Theosophical and Anthroposophical societies in the early decades of the twentieth century. I found that the author at times diverged from the central topic (the Bodhisattva). e.g. T.H. Meyer discusses the Roman Catholic church and how their elite may have viewed anthroposophy. Perhaps it's my failing but I couldn't see what this had to do with the identity of the Bodhisattva. The book is more a discussion of who WASN'T the Bodhisattva, so by the end of the book we are left none the wiser as to who if anyone was the Bodhisattva. It's possible as I think suggested by the author, that humanity simply wasn't ready for such a being to emerge and teach humanity. Overall a very interesting book.
