Excerpt from Letters That Have Helped Me "Seeking for freedom I go to that God who is the light of his own thoughts. A man who knows him truly passes over death; there is no other path to go" - Upanishads. In the Path for May, 1887, we find these words: "We need a literature, not solely for highly intellectual persons, but of a more simple character, which attempts to appeal to ordinary common-sense minds who are really fainting for such moral and mental assistance as is not reached by the more pretentious works." The experience of one student is, on the whole, the experience of all. Details differ, however. Some are made more instantly rich than others: they are those who put forth more vigorous and generous effort; or they have a Karmic store which brings aid. What Theosophists know as Karma, or the law of spiritual action and reaction, decides this, as it works on all the planes, physical, moral, mental, psychical, and spiritual alike. Our Karma may be worked out on any one of these planes when our life is chiefly concentrated upon it, no matter upon what other plane any special initiative impulse or branch of it originated. The writer, when first he became a Theosophical student, had the aid of an advanced occultist in his studies. This friend sent him, among others, the letters which, in the hope that they may assist others as they have the original recipient, are here published. They are not exhaustive treatises; they are hints given by one who knew that the first need of a student is to learn how to think.

Excerpt from Selected English Letters I recommend me on to you, desiring to hear of your welfare and prosperity, letting you wit that I have received of Alwedyr a letter, and a noble in gold therein.

Excerpt from Meanwhile a Packet of War Letters I expressed a strong wish to the friends, H. L. G., who wrote me the following letter in days of great sorrow and trouble, that he would allow them to be published. It is my belief that they may help other people, as they have helped me. He said that they were only intended for me; and I replied that it was just this which gave them their value, that they were not written for effect, but to help a particular case; not intended to win credit for the writer, but just to face a disaster which many people have had to face, more or less. He consented, and I am grateful to him; and I hope they will be read rather than criticised, and treated as an affectionate confidence between friends. They may throw light on a dark path; and that is the most that any words can do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Letters of One: A Study in Limitations With her father, a mild, polite, tame old man, who never seemed to have anything particular to do, and to whom she devoted herself, as it is called. I think he thought a good deal about his health in a leisurely way; but he was kind too, and the house was always full of people. He died about three years ago, and left her everything. She has a delightful house in the country, with no land to speak of, but with large gardens, and a few fields and woods round it; and she has quite a large income. She decided to live on there, and got an old aunt to come and settle with her. She is very fond of her garden, does a great deal in the parish, and is very sociable in a quiet sort of way; quite the last person in the world, in fact, whom you would expect to do anything odd, because she seems almost Oppressively sensible; and yet that is not quite fair, because she is never shocked at anything, and is not at all conventional or worldly.

Excerpt from In the Courts of Memory, 1858-1875: From Contemporary Letters These letters, written by me in my younger days to a dear and indulgent mother and aunt, were returned to me after their death. In writing them I allowed myself to go into the smallest details, even the most insignificant ones, as I was sure that they would be wel come and appreciated by those to whom they were addressed. They were certainly not intended to be made public. If I have decided, after much hesitation, to publish these letters, it is because many of my friends, having read them, have urged me to do so, thinking that they might be Of interest, inasmuch as they refer to some important events of the past, and especially to people of the musical world whose names and renown are not yet forgotten.
