12. Theosophy, Morality and Health

If man could not err, he would not be man. He is man because he can accomplish his actions not as a slave to an infallible natural order, but through his own free choice. If his capacity for error gives him his human dignity, it also makes him the author of countless evils. The deeper one delves into theosophy, the more the connection between error and evil is revealed. Just as it is true that everything sensual and material arises from the spirit, so it is also true that all evil in the world of the senses arises from the aberrations of the spirit.
