{{Style S-Small capitals|One}} word at a time is an excellent motto; it is the practical philosophy of my life. I need no spiritual condiments to make this life agreeable and attractive, and I think that there is in the world everything that is requisite for all our wants, yet I find myself speculating on the great problems of every age, cause and effect, origin and destiny; and I presume that while there is a mind to question there will be a mind to answer or attempt the solution of these speculative problems, though utilitarian philosophers should bleed at every pore, in their efforts to frown down the apparently useless task. I am {{Style S-HPB SB. HPB underlined|not a Rosicrucian a Brother of Luxor}},{{Style S-HPB SB. HPB note|<sup>x</sup>}} nor a member of any occult philosophical society oriental or occidental. Nor do I think that spiritual monopolies are any better than the terrestrial monopolies which obstruct the progress of individual and collective humanity.

If agreeable to all concerned, I wish to present a few of my speculations in philosophy, just for what they are worth.
