The Ocean of Theosophy

Description

The Ocean of Theosophy, co-founder of the Theosophical Society William Quan Judge, was originally published in 1893. The work was intended to be illustrative of Theosophy “in such a manner as to be understood by the ordinary reader”. It covers much of the subject matter that is within The Secret Doctrine. This is no mean feat as the work covers some of the more advanced and esoteric theosophical and perennial topics, such as:

• the sevenfold nature of man.
• karma, reincarnation.
• the dangers of psychic practices & pseudo-occultism.
• the Earth’s being, cosmic & terrestrial cycles.
• the afterlife.
• and the existence of advanced or superhuman beings.

Despite this it is one of the clearest and easily understood books on the topic of Theosophy existing to this day.

Author

William Quam Judge
(1851 – 1896)

William Quan Juge a mystic, esotericist, and occultist, was one of the founders of Theosophical Society, in 1875. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, at 13 years old, his family emigrated to the United States. He became a naturalized citizen of the USA at age 21 and passed the New York state bar exam, specializing in commercial law.

When Blavatsky and Olcott left America, they left Theosophy in North America in Judge’s hands. The T.S. in North America under Judge’s energetic leadership grew successfully.  From his twenty-third year when he joined the Society until his death, Judge’s best efforts and all the fiery energies of his undaunted soul were given to Theosophy.

In 1876, business affairs caused him to visit South America, where he contracted “Chagres fever” and he was ever after a sufferer from that torturing disease. Other “phases” of his experiences on this journey are recorded in his writings, often allegorical, suggesting the character of the occult contacts which may have been established on this journey.
