For many a year men have been discussing, arguing, enquiring about certain great basic truths—about the existence and the nature of God, about His relation to man, and about the past and future of humanity. So radically have they differed upon these points, and so bitterly have they assailed and ridiculed one another’s beliefs, that there has come to be a firmly-rooted popular opinion that with regard to all these matters there is no certainty available—nothing but vague speculation amid a cloud of unsound deductions drawn from ill-established premises. And this in spite of the very definite, though frequently incredible, assertions made on these subjects on behalf of the various religions. This popular opinion, though not unnatural under the circumstances, is entirely untrue. There are definite facts available—plenty of them. Theosophy gives them to us; but it offers them not (as the religions do) as matters of faith, but as subjects for study. It is not itself a religion, but it bears to the religions the same relation as did the ancient philosophies. It does not contradict them, but explains them. Whatever in any of them is unreasonable it rejects as necessarily unworthy of the Deity and derogatory to Him; whatever is reasonable in each and all of them it takes up, explains and emphasizes, and thus combines all into one harmonious whole.

About the Author
Charles Webster Leadbeater (1847-1934) was a Church of England clergyman until he joined the Theosophical Society in 1883. He spent some years in Sri Lanka working for the revival of Buddhism, and later became the Presiding Bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church, which seeks to combine the preservation of the Catholic sacraments with the widest measure of freedom of thought and interpretation of the scriptures. He was a highly developed clairvoyant and the author of over thirty books on the spiritual life and on the psychic nature of man. He unfolded and perfected his own psychic faculties under the guidance of his Adept teacher and in 1893 began his clairvoyant investigations, on occasion collaborating with Annie Besant, the second President of the Theosophical Society. His worldwide lectures presented a new viewpoint to thousands of people.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THEOSOPHY, BY A PROMINENT EARLY MEMBER
By Steven H Propp
Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854-1934) was a former Anglican priest, who became an influential member of the Theosophical Society, and was co-initiator (with J. I. Wedgwood) of the Liberal Catholic Church. He resigned from the Theosophical Society in 1906 after accusations of pederasty, but was readmitted a few years later. He wrote many books and publications, such as Life After Death and How Theosophy Unveils It, The Masters and the Path, A Textbook of Theosophy, The Astral Plane: Its Scenery, Inhabitants And Phenomena, etc.
He wrote in the Introduction to this 1902 book, "Theosophy may be described to the outside world as an intelligent theory of the universe. Yet for those who have studied it, it is not theory, but fact; for it is a definite science, capable of being studied, and its teachings are verifiable by investigation and experiment for those who are willing to take the trouble to qualify themselves for such enquiry. It is a statement of the great facts of Nature so far as they are known---an outline of the scheme of our corner of the universe." (Pg. 3) Later, he adds, "I am not offering to the reader a creed to be swallowed like a pill; I am trying to set before him a system to study, and, above all, a live to live. I ask no blind faith from him; I simply suggest to him the consideration of the Theosophical teaching as a hypothesis, though to me it is no hypothesis, but a living fact." (Pg. 12)
He outlines the following principles: "1. God exists, and He is good. He is the great lifegiver who dwells within us and without us, is undying and eternally beneficient... 2. Man is immortal, and his future is one whose glory and splendor have no limit. 3. A Divine law of absolute justice rules the world, so that each man is in truth his own judge, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself, the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment." (Pg. 14) He adds, "there is an absolute certainty of final attainment for every human soul, no matter how far he may seem to have strayed from the path of evolution." (Pg. 16)
He strongly rejects the doctrine of Transmigration: "[Reincarnation] must not be confounded with a theory held by the ignorant, that it was possible for a soul which had reached humanity in its evolution to rebecome that of an animal. No such retrogression is within the limits of possibility; when once man comes into existence... he can never again fall back into what is in truth a lower kingdom of nature, whatever mistakes he may make or however he may fail to take advantage of his opportunities." (Pg. 43) He suggests that the Theosophical teaching about death "robs death forthwith of all its terror and much of its sorrow, and enables us to see it in its true proportions and to understand its place in the scheme of our evolution." (Pg. 56)
He states, "This long process of evolution has been carried out not only on this earth, but on other globes connected with it; but the subject is much too vast to be fully treated in an elementary book such as this. It forms the principal theme of Madame Blavatsky's monumental work, The Secret Doctrine... " (Pg. 71-72) He explains, "Theosophy ... makes it absolutely clear to [its students] that no undeserved suffering can ever come to any man. Whatever trouble we may encounter is simply of the nature of a debt that we have incurred; since it has to be paid, the sooner it is cleared off the better." (Pg. 88-89)
This is a useful introduction and overview to Theosophy, from one of its most prominent early leaders.

An Excellent Overview!
By Abraxus
A short but concise primer to Theosophy and a great place for all beginning students to learn. Understandable, cogent, and astute explanations of not so easy to understand principles. A worthy read!
