As H. P. B’s magnum opus was not published until late Fall of 1888, this excerpt is obviously taken from her unfinished manuscript. The text is translated into French with just a few unimportant remarks by the Editor of Le Lotus, F. K. Gaboriau.

We do not translate this lengthy excerpt into English for two reasons first, because such a translation would almost certainly be different from the original English text used by the Editor; and, second, because this very text, with slight variations and amplifications, can be found in the final version of The Secret Doctrine, Vol. I, pp. 554-66, in Section X entitled “The Coming Force”
