That the result would not be wholly satisfactory was inevitable. Nothing but the whole naked truth will satisfy him. Though Spiritualists are not able to go in search of them, yet the Philosophy they teach commends itself to logic, and its principles are mathematically demonstrable. If this be not so, let it be shown. These are the right and left pillars of every soul-crushing Theology.
Theosophists have no dogmas, exact no blind faith.
Dogmas are the toys that amuse, and can satisfy, but unreasoning children. They are the offspring of human speculation and prejudiced fancy. In the eye of true Philosophy it seems an insult to common sense, that we should break loose from the idols and dogmas of either Christian or heathen exoteric faith to catch up those of a church of Spiritualism. Spiritualism must either be a true Philosophy, amenable to the test of the recognized criterion of logic, or be set up in its niche beside the broken idols of hundreds of antecedent Christian sects. Realizing, as they do, the boundlessness of the absolute truth, Theosophists repudiate all claim to infallibility.
