Madame Blavatsky was justified in employing this method because she really did know the subject better than either commentator or original. She merely used Oriental lore as an Ostr…

But what you want to know is the difference between (a) common or area morality, (b) Yogin-or "holy man's" morality, and (c) the Magical Morality of the New Aeon of Thelema. I.
