Quest'opera, pubblicata nel 1877 dalla famosa filosofa e veggente Helena Blavatsky, è così corposa da essere stata divisa in due grandi parti. Associandola strettamente con le dottrine esoteriche dell'ermetismo e del neoplatonismo, Blavatsky descrisse la teosofia come la sintesi della scienza, della religione e della filosofia, affermando il proposito di far rivivere in forma nuova la grande sapienza dei misteri antichi, già intravista a suo tempo dalle religioni maggiori.

Helena P. Blavatsky was a prolific writer and scholar who spearheaded the modern Theosophic movement.

Notable author and founder of the modern Theosophical movement Helena Blavatsky highlights Plato, his teachings, and his legacy in this essay. It is the Platonic philosophy, the most elaborate compend of the abstruse systems of old India that can alone afford us this middle ground.

In addition to being a prolific writer of Theosophical and occult teachings, Madame Blavatsky also penned a few tales of short fiction; although, she often claimed the events of her tales to be true, for added effect.

In this particular piece, published in 1889, she writes somewhat philosophically about the dawning of a new age of writers and religious thinkers.

She urges the listener to participate, rather than just sit idly by and observe.
