The Key to Theosophy
A catechism of Theosophy written in questions and answers. It explains what the Theosophical Society is and is not, the difference between Theosophy and occultism, the sevenfold constitution of the human being, the post-mortem states (kama-loka and devachan), karma and reincarnation, and the movement's relations with spiritualism and the churches. It is Blavatsky's most accessible text and the one most used as an introduction; it contains the motto 'There is no religion higher than truth' and a long defence against the SPR's accusations.
Authorship note
Her own work, in the form of a dialogue between a 'Theosophist' and an 'Enquirer'. It appeared in London in 1889; the appended glossary was enlarged in the 2nd edition.
