Yes you are right Carl it was The Ocean of Theosophy. As it put me off, I didn't read any other of his works. I still feel more drawn to others such as Purucker, Baborka,Gardner. Why do you say Judge was the most important contributor after HPB? For me it is like comparing apples and oranges?

Carl Ek <carl.ek@mail.com> wrote: Cass,
You wrote that you found Judge "writing to have too much of a
religious flavour to them". I think you are referring too The Ocean
of Theosophy. I'm I right? We must not forget, something many have
done day, that that book was written by Judge with members of the
Christen American middleclass in mind, which as well was seekers.
Nether his articles, Esoteric Instructions or his Occult novels
could be called religious flavoured.

You also wrote "Judge was a contributor, no more". Yes, a
contributor, but the second must important contributor after H.P.
Blavatsky.
