H. P. Blavatsky.
November 20th, 1886.
Note.—The MS. for the article referred to was written out by some one for Mme. Blavatsky and forwarded to us as it was printed, and it is quite evident that the error was the copyist’s, and not ours nor Madame’s; besides that, the remainder of the paragraph clearly shows a mistake. We did not feel justified in making such an important change on our own responsibility, but are now glad to have the author do it herself. Other minor errors probably also can be found in consequence of the peculiar writing of the amanuensis, but they are very trivial in their nature.—[Ed.]
For thoughts alone cause the round of rebirths in this world; let a man strive to purify his thoughts. What a man thinks, that he is: this is the old secret.—Maitrayana Brahmana Upanishad, vi Prap., 34.

There is not anything amongst the hosts of heaven which is free from the influence of the three qualities which arise from the first principles of nature.—Bagavad-Gita, ch. xviii.
Know that there is no enlightenment from without; the secret of things is revealed from within. From without cometh no Divine Revelation, but the spirit heareth within. Do not think I tell you that which you know not; for except you know it, it cannot be given you. To him that hath it is given, and he bath the more abundantly.—Hermetic Philosophy.
