In the early s William Q. Judge
recognized the need for a literature on
theosophy that could be readily under-
stood by all. He responded with a series
of newspaper articles that were soon
published in book form as The Ocean
of Theosophy . Providing a concise yet
comprehensive survey of the basic teach-
ings, it clariies such topics as reincar-
nation and karma; the sevenfold nature
of man, earth, and the universe; after-
death states and cyclic evolution; sages,
adepts, and the world’s religions; psy-
chic phenomena, spiritualism, the pitfalls
of pseudo-occultism; and many more.
Here is knowledge based upon evidence
and experience, written with brevity and
depth.
W Q. J was born in Dublin,
Ireland, on April , . His family emi-
grated in  to New York where he
specialized in corporate law (New York State
Bar, ). A co-founder with H. P. Blavatsky
and Henry S. Olcott of the Theosophical
Society in , he later became General
Secretary of its American Section and Vice
President of the international Society.
Writing and lecturing from coast to coast,
he made theosophy known and respected
throughout America. He died in New York
City on March , 

In the Author’s Words . . .
Just as the ancients taught, so does Theosophy: that
the course of evolution is the drama of the soul and
that Nature exists for no other purpose than the soul’s
experience. The Theosophist agrees with Professor
Huxley in the assertion that there must be beings in the
universe whose intelligence is as much beyond ours as
ours exceeds that of the black beetle, and who take an
active part in the government of the natural order of
things.
We are therefore not appearing for the irst time
when we come upon this planet, but have pursued a
long and immeasurable course of activity and intelligent
perception on other systems of globes.
Man has never been without a friend, but has a line of
elder brothers who continually watch over the progress
of the less progressed, and preserve the knowledge
gained through aeons of trial and experience.
Theosophy sees no unsolvable mystery anywhere,
it throws the word coincidence out of its vocabulary
and hails the reign of law in everything and every
circumstance.
