“If you have anything beyond a very, very strong Theosophical Inkling regarding the validity of reincarnation, translifetime Karma, etc., there is a chance that you may have actually slipped from the path leading to the Truth about these things and perhaps even fallen into the Common Ditch of Immobilizing Wishful Certainties.”—General Theosophy

The following excerpt is an entry from The Mother's Question and Answers, 1955, in which she discusses 'All work' as a 'school of experience' and 'the whole life [as] a field of experience' via which we learn how to unify the inner and the outer experience.

Some people live exclusively on the surface, not…

“A thing even Theosophers may not fully understand about Real Magic, as contrasted with the fairy-tale-grade magic of literature and movies, is that it may not actually be possible to willfully produce predictable, specific results; however, it may indeed be possible to meditatively create, in advance, general or at least “less differentiated” psychological states or “flavors” which,…
