These "Fourteen Lessons" are an introduction to some of the most important recorded wisdoms of our time. Embers of this sacred knowledge can faintly be seen through the veils of almost every religion, including the new age movement. Each doctrine seems to have a piece of this grail, but none contain it in its entirety.

"Theosophy was once the universal religion of mankind, and is destined to be the universal religion of the future. Even now its great principles are permeating thought and action everywhere, and everywhere the most advanced mind are looking forward to the idea of a universal religion as humanity's one hope." Katherine Tingley.

Written as a narrative to my daughter, I wanted her to have the whole story. Where she came from. Why I placed her for adoption. And how, for the next 18 years, I hovered on the edges of her family, granted access by her generous parents, but always wanting more. More for her, and more for me.

Who are we, and where did we come from? When we turn to the information provided to us, we find a mud pool of possibilities. Is this intended to subvert our built-in guidance systems? We also discover that people who are adept at researching big-picture science are offered special jobs conditional on being sworn to secrecy. What is behind this strategy? Sometimes, the reality prescribed to us doesn’t fit with or explain what we experience.

『閣下、どうか嫉妬にはご用心を』
人を死に至らしめるものとは。勇敢な戦士オセローは、保守的な国際都市ヴェニスにおいて、その肌の色から異人として受け入れられていた。数々の武勇がその街での彼の居場所を作っていき、その誉れは褐色の肌の色を問わずヴェニスの民によって認められていたはずだった。
しかしその裏に嫉妬に喘ぐ数々のヴェニスの軍人がいたことも事実。いつの世も地位と名声を誰もが欲し、誰もが自らこそがそれに相応しいと思う。力で上り詰めたオセローにとって、剣や拳や毒が人を殺める武器であったのに対し、イアーゴーが用いた武器はただ、柔らかいハンカチと嫉妬の心であった。この物語が本当に全てイアーゴーによって練られた復讐の筋書き通りだったのだろうか。否、全ての登場人物の心の裏にある欲が織り成す猜疑のレースは、ただその引き金を策士の指が引いただけに過ぎないのではないだろうか。 ・Charles and Mary Lamb's TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE: MACBETH edited by Yu Okubo translated by Yuka Akune
