An Outline of Theosophy

The Method Of Observation
The detail of
this development would take up more space than can be devoted to it in a
preliminary manual such as this. The whole scheme will be found fully explained
in other Theosophical works; for the moment let it suffice to say that it is
entirely a question of vibration. All information which reaches a man from the
world without, reaches him by means of vibration of some sort, whether it be
through the
senses of sight, hearing or touch. Consequently, if a man is able to make
himself sensitive to additional vibrations he will acquire additional
information; he will become what is commonly called “clairvoyant”.
This word, as
commonly used, means nothing more than a slight extension of normal vision; but
it is possible for a man to become more and more sensitive to the subtler
vibrations, until his consciousness, acting through many developed
faculties,
functions freely in new and higher ways.
He will then
find new worlds of subtler matter opening up before him, though in reality they
are only new portions of the world he already knows.
He learns in
this way that a vast unseen universe exists round him during his whole life,
and that it is constantly affecting him in many ways, even though he remains
blindly unconscious of it. But when he
develops faculties whereby he can sense these other worlds, it becomes possible
for him to observe them scientifically, to repeat his observations many times,
to compare them with
those of
others, to tabulate them, and draw deductions from them.
All this has
been done – not once, but thousands of times. The Adepts of whom I spoke have
done this to the fullest possible extent, but many efforts along the same line
have been made by our own Theosophical students. The result of our
investigations
has been not only to verify much of the information given to us at the outset
by those Adepts, but also to explain and amplify it very
considerably.
The sight of
this usually unseen portion of our world at once brings to our knowledge a vast
body of entirely new facts which are of the very deepest
interest. It
gradually solves for us many of the most difficult problems of life; it clears
up for us many mysteries so that we now see them to have been
mysteries to
us for so long, only because heretofore we saw so small a part of the facts,
because we were looking at the various matters from below, and as isolated and
unconnected fragments, instead of rising above them to a standpoint whence they
are comprehensible as parts of a mighty whole.
It settles in
a moment many questions which have been much disputed – such, for example, as
that of the continued existence of man after death.
It affords us
the true explanation of all the wildly impossible statements made by the
churches about heaven, hell and purgatory; it dispels our ignorance and removes
our fear of the unknown by supplying us with a rational and orderly scheme.
What this scheme is I will now endeavour to explain.
