An attorney by profession, Judge was a cofounder of the Theosophical Society, and until his death in 1896 labored indefatigably in furtherance of its prime objective: universal brotherhood. Deeply versed in the philosophy, he combined common sense with intuitive insight, thus yielding a practicality of approach rarely encountered today.
Here, in clear language, are described the landmarks, pitfalls, agonies, and joys that form the road of natural spiritual unfoldment. Drawing from the timeless theosophy of mankind, William Q. Judge shows unmistakably that our need is not to escape from the world in search of spirit, but to help transform the world – and ourselves – through the constant effort to apply compassion, wisdom, and altruism in daily life.

The letters in the first volume, published in 1891 under the pen name “Z”, were written by Judge to a friend and co-worker, Mrs. Julia Campbell Ver Planck – “Jasper Niemand”. Also included is Volume Two, posthumously published in 1905, which was compiled from letters by Judge to correspondents in many parts of the world


 

Het levensraadsel omvat vele problemen zoals de volgende:
Waarom is er zoveel lijden in de wereld?
Waarom is er zoveel onrecht?
Wat is het doel van het leven?
Is er een leven na de dood?
Hebben we een vrije wil of zijn we marionetten van het lot?
Zijn we verantwoordelijk voor onze daden- zullen we oogsten wat we zaaien?
Is er een lukraak door blinde krachten bestuurdheelal of ligt er een plan aan ten grondslag?

Inhoudsopgave:
1. De oude wijsheid
2. Het heelal: een praktijkschool
3. De onzichtbare kant van de natuur
4. De samengestelde natuur van de mens
5. Bewustzijnstoestanden
6. Dood – slaap – geboorte
7. Reïncarnatie


Filled with explanations and examples of the ancient wisdom’s relevance to everyday life, this is a warm and conversational presentation of timeless principles. The author, who considers the universe a school of experience, draws from many disciplines to help us discern the eternal laws that underlie mother nature and human nature.
Short stimulating essays address life’s dilemmas, and shed light on karma, death, reincarnation, and our various states of consciousness. Drawing widely from nature, world mythology, and religious scriptures, Amnéus portrays the sympathetic relationship between the personal and the higher ego to be an eternally evolving and hopeful one. “If we watch a sleeping person, we notice that the body lies there quietly, performing certain automatic functions. . . . We see from this that the body is not the man himself but, like the mind, is a tool used by the Ego for its evolution here on Earth.”
