Dear Pathfinder:

If you have Judge's OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY -- a short book of about 180 =
pages - could you review the chapters 8, 9, and 10 on Reincarnation.  =
Link this with Karma (Chapter 11), and, if you desire to understand the =
basis for "spiritualism" and "channeling" you can read with profit =
Chapters 5, 12, and especially 1 and 17 wherein he reviews PSYCHIC LAWS, =
PHENOMENA and SPIRITUALISM.

Judge's work is an epitome of THE SECRET DOCTRINE.  It tallies closely =
with HPB's KEY TO THEOSOPHY, but if you choose to use that you will best =
go by using the Index and look up what she has to say under the subjects =
you are interested in.  The KEY  is relatively short, (306 pages)  In =
the first part she deals with the doctrines of Theosophy:  the nature of =
Man and the Universe, the division of the "principles," their use during =
life and after death, life-after-death phenomena, Devachan and =
reincarnation.  The latter part of the book explains the practice of =
Theosophy one    becomes convinced of its usefulness in daily life.

Have fun.  The more that you get to know and understand for yourself, =
the better.  A summary given to you by any one of us, would not equal =
what HPB or Judge can say on the subjects.

                Best wishes,                                        =
