The Pilgrim Self
164 Pages | First Quest Edition 1996 | Softcover | Quest Books, U.S.A. | ISBN: 0835607399.
" Life is . . . a series of sunrises, with night following behind them - each night a little death, each sunrise a minor birth . . . linked together by a single secret, the secret of who you really are. "
So begins this deceptively simple, poetic jewel of a book by Robert Ellwood, author of the best-selling inspirational classic Finding the Mind. Drawing on the teachings of Theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 - 1891), Ellwood describes the individual self as a Pilgrim journeying from life to life, learning, growing, evolving toward that state of infinite purity from which we come and which is our true home.
A spiritual Passages for today's seeker, Ellwood's gentle travelogue for the soul points to the deeper meaning of the stages and sign-posts of human life - childhood, adolescence, midlife, aging - offering guidance for the Pilgrim who is each of us, as we walk life's winding Path.
From Chapter 2 - 'Chinks of Eternity' (p. 29):
As the Secret Doctrine puts it:
" The universe is worked and guided, from within outwards. As above, so it is below, as in heaven, so on earth; and man, the microcosm and miniature copy of the macrocosm, is the living witness to this Universal Law and to the mode of its action.
And again:
From Gods to men, from Worlds to atoms, from a Star to a rush-light, from the Sun to the vital heat of the meanest organic being - the world of Form and Existence is an immense chain, the links of which all are connected. "
