THE
OCEAN
OF
THEOSOPHY

A
Definitive Work on Theosophy
By
William
Quan Judge

PREFACE
An attempt is
made in the pages of this book to write of theosophy in such a manner as to be
understood by the ordinary reader. Bold statements are made in it upon the
knowledge of the writer, but at the same time it is distinctly to be understood
that he alone is responsible for what is therein written: the Theosophical
Society is not involved in nor bound by anything said in the book, nor are any
of its members any the less good Theosophists because they may not accept what
I have set down. The tone of settled conviction which may be thought to pervade
the chapters is not the result of dogmatism or conceit, but flows from
knowledge based upon evidence and experience. 
Members of
the Theosophical Society will notice that certain theories or doctrines have
not been gone into. That is because they could not be treated without unduly
extending the book and arousing needless controversy. 
The subject
of the Will has received no treatment, inasmuch as that power or faculty is
hidden, subtle, undiscoverable as to essence, and only visible in effect. As it
is absolutely colourless and varies in moral quality in accordance with the
desire behind it, as also it acts frequently without our knowledge, and 
as it
operates in all the kingdoms below man, there could be nothing gained by
attempting to enquire into it apart from the Spirit and the desire. 
I claim no
originality for this book. I invented none of it, discovered none of it, but
have simply written that which I have been taught and which has been proved to
me. It therefore is only a handing on of what has been known before.

JUDGE

May, 1893.
