This is one of the most important books on spiritual growth ever offered. Annie Besant was an amazing teacher who wrote a number of books and played a key role in the early years of the Theosophical Society. This particular book reveals how to reach a higher level of awareness with the help of an enlightened teacher. It outlines the qualifications one must have, the general ideas behind discipleship, and how to employ these ideas with the help of a qualified teacher or guru. The last section covers the future of humanity's consciousness and how one can get a head start on spiritual evolution with the help of this book.
