Mabel Collins was a theosophist and author of over 46 books. Her works include The Blossom and the Fruit (1888), The Idyll of the White Lotus (1890), Morial the Mahatma (1892), and Suggestion (1892). Collins says at the beginning of this book that this is a Treatise Written for the Personal Use of Those who are Ignorant of the Eastern Wisdom, and who Desire to Enter Within Its Influence. The text is a series of occult rules with commentaries on each rule. She begins by saying "Before the eyes can see, they must be incapable of tears. Before the ear can hear, it must have lost its sensitiveness. Before the voice can speak in the presence of the Masters it must have lost the power to wound. Before the soul can stand in the presence of the Masters its feet must be washed in the blood of the heart."

About the Author

Mabel Collins (9 September 1851 – 31 March 1927) was a theosophist and author of over 46 books. Mabel Collins was born in St Peter Port, Guernsey. She was a writer of popular occult novels, a fashion writer and an anti-vivisection campaigner. According to Vittoria Cremers, as related by Aleister Crowley, Collins was at one time being romantically pursued by both Cremers and alleged occultist Robert D'Onston Stephenson. Cremers claimed that during this time she found five bload-soaked ties in a trunk under Stephenson's bed, corresponding to the five murders committed in Whitechapel by Jack the Ripper. Stephenson is no longer a candidate as being Jack the Ripper due to the efforts of competent, modern researchers. However, Stephenson was a rival with Cremers for Collins' affections, and this account cannot be independently confirmed.
