The mistake of the modern age is to separate the field of knowledge into divisions. We notice this particularly in science, wherein specialization is becoming an embarrassment. Another artificial and fatal division that vanishes in the light of theosophy is that between the speculations of philosophy and the practical conduct of life. Belief and conduct cannot be separated in the true. The beginner in theosophy has a right to know the foundations of the theosophical structure, although only the briefest outline can be given here.
Every atom is a spark of the one Life.
God is Love. Those statements are purely theosophical, and they are not atheistic. The evolution of the human soul by physical incarnation, alternating with rest in spiritual conditions, has its place in this universal law of cycles. In the East this process is called the Great Breath. Man on earth is a life-atom of the Divine, immersed in matter, a pilgrim seeking his way back to the source.
