About the author

Mabel Collins (1851–1927) was a prominent Theosophist and author of esoteric and occult literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her literary contributions were significantly influential in the Theosophical movement, which sought to promote spiritual knowledge and exploration. Collins is best known for her seminal works 'Light on the Path' (1885) and 'Through the Gates of Gold' (1887), which explore the spiritual principles and mystical paths toward higher consciousness and enlightenment. 'Light on the Path,' written in the form of aphorisms, is considered by many as a spiritual classic, offering guidance for the soul's journey to transcendence. 'Through the Gates of Gold' continues this theme, delving into the quest for the true self and the secrets of the universe. Collins's writing is often marked by a lyrical and contemplative style, rich with metaphysical insights and reflective of her deep interest in Eastern philosophies and Theosophical tenets. Her works remain of interest not only to students of Theosophy but also to those drawn to mystical and spiritual literature. As a writer, Collins was acclaimed for her ability to synthesize complex spiritual teachings into accessible prose, thereby extending her influence beyond Theosophical circles and into the broader domain of spiritual seekers.
