By Emily B. Sellon.

108 Pages | First Edition 1996 | Softcover | Quest Books, U.S.A. | ISBN: 0835607526.

This volume has been edited from a transcription of the Pumpkin Hollow tapes kindly made by Ann M. and Douglas L. Clemens. In it is offered as a concise statement of Emily's philosophy and of the metaphysical foundation of Theosophy. Emily was herself president of the New York Lodge during 1950 - 1954 and 1964 - 1968.

From Chapter 1 - 'Metaphysics and Machinery' (p. 1):

" What we are going to talk about is essentially metaphysics. In Theosophical studies there are really two approaches. One is metaphysics or the 'grand principles' and the other is what I call 'machinery'. That may seem like a derogatory or pejorative term, but nevertheless that is what it really is. Studies of reïncarnation and karma, or of the cycles and rounds and races and that kind of thing, are really studies of the machinery, that is, the consequences of the working out of metaphysical principles. "
