The Path, Vol. I.—1886-'7.: A Magazine Devoted to the Brotherhood of Humanity, Theosophy in America, and the Study of Occult Science, Philosophy, and Aryan Literature.
Various
Theosophy -- Periodicals
To the modern reader, all this sounds very queer, a bundle of
contradictions and vagaries, taxing reason and even credulity. But
suppose we are told, that it was designed for exactly that purpose,
that only they who were _determined_ to find the truth, and who
therefore had faith that it existed somewhere, were expected to walk
around or dig under this stumbling-block. If we turn now to _Isis
Unveiled_ p. 507, Vol. I, we shall find the inscription said to have
been found on the tablet.

REVIEWS.
PANTANJALI’S RAJ YOGA PHILOSOPHY.—(Reprinted by the Bombay Branch
of the Theosophical Society.) We will give in subsequent numbers of
this magazine, remarks and explanations by a Hindu brother member. In
this reprint are some things which do not improve the book. They are
selections from such men as P. B. Randolph and others. We do not think
Pantanjali needs confirmation from such a source as Randolph’s. No
doubt many Theosophists will be disappointed in this great Hindu, in
consequence of their own expectations of finding explicit directions
as to developing and projecting the double and other like tricks, and
because of erroneous suppositions as to what Raj Yoga is. It is the
highest philosophy, but the work needs just the explanations which
we propose to furnish, in part at least. Pantanjali is immensely
interesting to ordinary Theosophists from an intellectual standpoint,
and to those who are somewhat advanced its instruction is very great.
At present all the Raj Yoga which the western body of Theosophists can
assimilate, is found in _Light on the Path_ and _Bagavad-Gita_.
JOURNAL OF SPECULATIVE PHILOSOPHY.—We have received from Wm. T. Harris,
(No. 3, Vol. XIX) for which we offer our thanks. Our small space will
not permit extended notice. It is full of splendid matter.
IMMORTALITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.—(W. T. Harris, D. Appleton & Co., New
York.) On p. 5 is the basis of a great argument, that “the interaction
between soul and body can never be explained, except by a combination
of introspection with observation of physiologic facts.” The grossest
scientist exercises both and yet denies the value of introspection.
PHILOSOPHY IN OUTLINE.—(Wm. T. Harris, D. Appleton & Co., New York.)
A brief exposition of the method of Philosophy and its results in
obtaining a view of nature, man and God.
NOTES AND QUERIES.—A monthly magazine full of curious information
in art, science, mathematics, folk-lore, mysticism, etc., comes to
The Path as an exchange and the back volumes have been received for
our Theosophical library. It is published by S. C. & L. M. Gould,
Manchester, N. H., at $1.00 a year. Among its articles are many on
subjects allied with Eastern wisdom, ancient philosophy, masonry,
bibliography, etc. Write to them for a sample copy.
