The Books by Robert Crosbie

Robert Crosbie wanted students to study the writings of the Founders, HPB, and WQJ.  While he wrote articles, letters to students and gave many talks, he did not publish any books.  After his death, devoted students, saw value in the letters Robert Crosbie sent to workers in ULT. His talks were transcribed and with the letters, published in a book called The Friendly Philosopher.  He also completed the last 9 chapters of the Answers to Questions on the Ocean of Theosophy.

The Dhammapada

This is said to be the purest recorded form of Buddha's teaching, in a special Theosophical edition published in 1955.

Selections From The Upanishads And Tao Te King

Here, published in one volume, are represented two of the great scriptures of ancient Theosophy. These, together with The Bhagavad-Gita and The Dhammapada, afford the student suggestive evidence that profound philosophy has always spoken a common language.

The Light of Asia

Though this book is not strictly speaking an ancient scripture, no student of Gautama Buddha can fail to feel that Sir Edwin Arnold's epic poem, The Light of Asia, is a beautifully compelling and philosophically accurate rendering of Buddha's life and teaching.

& Carey Williams, Research Assistant

Blavatsky opened a new realm of ideas to the world, influencing poets, writers, artists, philosophers, and scientists alike — among them Yeats, James Joyce, L. Frank Baum, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Scriabin, Gandhi, William James, Thomas Edison, and Einstein. Social historian Theodore Roszak ranks her "among the modern world's trailblazing psychologists of the visionary mind."

A product of 14 years' research and writing, "this book portrays HPB's supporters and detractors, using newly uncovered materials to present as complete a biography of this enigmatic woman and her wisdom as possible" (Booklist, American Library Association).

Pamphlets

Five Messages to American Theosophists

By H. P. Blavatsky, this pamphlet consists of her letters to several Theosophical Conventions in the United States. These Messages are valuable as statements of the general purposes of the Movement and as guides in carrying on the work.

There is a booklet and two pamphlets by William Q. Judge. Echoes From the Orient, like the Ocean, was first printed as a series of newspaper articles (64 pages). The Epitome of Theosophy states the philosophy in outline. Reincarnation and Karma is perhaps the best brief introduction to Theosophy that is available. It includes the Aphorisms on Karma.

Pamphlets of general interest, varying in length, include Theosophy Simply Stated; Conversations on Theosophy, which presents the Fundamental Propositions of The Secret Doctrine; Practical Theosophy, a helpful essay on Theosophy; and What is Death? a brief consideration of the meaning of death in the context of reincarnation, with a significant passage from H.P. Blavatsky directed to those who mourn.

Fundamentals of Theosophy

This collation, also from Madame Blavatsky, is extended from the orientation provided by the Three Fundamental Propositions of Theosophy as formulated by H.P.B. in her Secret Doctrine and draws upon her major works and articles. This pamphlet attempts to provide the student with a philosophical bridge between the specific doctrines of Theosophy and the inspiration of one's own investigative spirit.
