The Four Principles

We Masons discuss the theosophical movement quite objectively. It is the first to have appeared in an agitative form. When someone has assimilated the teaching, the concept of the teaching, in such a way that it is not merely firmly seated within him, but seethes in his soul, it awakens his strength. Anyone who does not feel shaken to the core by a book like H.P.B.'s “Secret Doctrine” or my “Theosophy” in such a way that it has the effect of fire must read it again and again and again until he has it completely within him, even if he reads it a hundred times or more.
