Excerpt from Initiation, Human and Solar Again, there are some who are interested, yet who feel the possibilities involved are too far advanced for them, and that they need not occupy themselves with them at this stage of their evolution. This book seeks to make it apparent that here and now the average man may begin to build that character and to lay those foundations of knowledge which are necessary before even the Path of Discipleship can be trodden. Due preparation may now be made, and men and women everywhere may - if they choose fit themselves for the condition of discipleship and tread the Probationary Path. Hundreds in the East and in the West are pressing onwards towards this goal, and in the unity of the one ideal, in their common aspiration and endeavour, they will meet before the one Portal. They will then recognize them selves as brothers, severed by tongue and apparent divers ity of belief, but fundamentally holding to the same one truth and serving the same God.
