Theosophy, Blavatsky and The Higher Spiritual Pathology

Today on Sense of Soul podcast we have, William Wilson Quinn
earned the M.A. from the University of Chicago Divinity School
and thereafter the Ph.D. from that University in the philosophia
perennis. He later earned a J.D. degree. In the 1970s, he was
employed by the Theosophical Society, which he joined in 1969,
where he was Editor of Quest magazine and Associate Editor of the
Theosophical Publishing House. Since 1971 he has published scores
of articles and four books, including The Only
Tradition and The
Chela’s Handbook. He is joining us to tell us about his recent
book, The Higher Spiritual Path. This book is predicated on the
immemorial core or "first" principles of the universal perennial
philosophy, which finds expression from Lao Tzu to Ramana
Maharshi in the East and from Pythagoras to René Guénon and
Ananda K. Coomaraswamy in the West, The Higher Spiritual Path
details how those on the higher spiritual path must address and
master its requirements. This book is as practical as it is
philosophical -- or theosophical -- since it is based on the
specifics of “sacred science,” or spiritual science, an
inextricable component of the perennial philosophy. Many of the
requirements of the higher spiritual path are based on the truths
of this ancient spiritual science, formulated over millennia by
jivanmukti, or liberated beings, who serve as the teachers of
those currently engaged in treading this hieratic path. The goals
of ascending this path are the loftiest; the hierarchical order
of its spiritual teachers is the holiest; and the totality of its
evolutionary and compassionate purpose is the most sacred.
