Our Study Notes is a growing online collection of Theosophical articles, compilations, analyses, and commentaries by ancient and modern thinkers; plus presentations, charts, diagrams, and drawings by several hands. Their purpose is to aid individual as well as group study. The diligent student will be able to derive considerable benefit by testing his understanding of Theosophy against our series, particularly those pertaining to the philosophical basis of the three fundamental propositions of The Secret Doctrine.
