Wakefield, Bandusia

American Theosophist associated with the Sioux City, Iowa branch; a frequent contributor to The Path through the first half of the 1890s. Contributed "Is Theosophy a Pessimistic Philosophy?" to The Path (April 1891), arguing against each of the standard dictionary definitions of pessimism in turn that Theosophy teaches a universe of justice and progress, not of evil or futility; and "Is Self-Annihilation the End and Aim of Life?" (May 1891), arguing that neither Devachan nor Nirvana annihilates the individuality, which as the Higher Ego continues and carries forward what is worthy of preservation from each personality.
