Teachings of the Masters is a compilation of writings, extracted from the various works of eminent Theosophists and other notable exponents of the Ancient Wisdom. The essays in this book have been compiled by Dr. Douglas Baker, a respected teacher of Theosophy and lecturer on the secret teachings of the ages, who devoted his life to making the Wisdom teachings available to the general public. These teachings have many forms and many different names, yet the central theme remains the same: that a spiritual reality exists and only through an understanding of humanity's holistic nature will we discover the answers to the great questions of existence: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where do we go from here? Why do we have to suffer pain? In this compilation you will find extracts from the works of a selection of authors. They all have one thing in common; they were inspired by members of the spiritual hierarchy of the planet, Masters of the Wisdom, the custodians, past, present and future, of humanity's spiritual inheritance.

Dr Douglas Mackley Baker BA MRCP LCRP was born in London, England in 1922 and raised in South Africa. In 1939, at the outbreak of World War Two, he enlisted in the Natal Mounted Rifles, a regiment of the South African Army, and fought alongside the British Eighth Army in North Africa. He was badly wounded during the Battle of El Alamein and again in Italy, where his injuries put him on the critical list. The experience of war evoked in him doubts about traditional religious belief and led him to investigate the hidden facets of Man’s true nature as pondered by philosophers throughout the ages.
