The Gods Await
By Katherine Tingley
Thought-provoking and inspiriting, The Gods Await applies theosophic principles
to human life, emphasizing remedies for "man's inhumanity to man." It discusses freedom
of thought, world peace, and reformation of the criminal justice system — setting forth
the problems with their root-causes and possible solutions.
Speaking to the intuition as well as the mind, the author encourages us to recognize
our duality and look to the spiritual center within, then act fearlessly — for "there is
always another chance," no matter what our apparent failures. Here is a plea for social
action and individual renewal based on self-knowledge, compassion, and the innate
divinity of mankind.
"In that inner consciousness in which we all share there is an unsilenceable
voice calling to us to render help. . . . in truth it is utterly impossible for any
fragment of humanity to be secure and in peace and untroubled while any other fragment is
in peril or oppressed, because inwardly and in reality we are one." — p.22
"he who would enter upon the path that leads to truth must put new
interpretations on the failings and mistakes of his fellow men. He must come to
understand the law of eternal justice . . . and to know the necessity it implies for an
unconquerable compassion . . ." — p. 61
