Beginner's list

My vote for "the book that should be placed in the hands of everyone
especially beginners in Theosophy" is BE HERE NOW by Ram Dass.

It's not even a "theosophical" work as such. But it is a wonderful
overview of the steps on the Path and the last section is a "recommended
readings" list that is comprehensive and geared towards those folks who are
looking for something without knowing what "it" is. btw kudos to the
Wheaton library

>From a review in one of the old Whole Earth catalogs 1980
"... you'll be face to face with the intensely illustrated Ram Dass
amalgamation of Hinduism Buddhism Christianity and more. That's followed
by *Cookbook for a Sacred Life* an excellent synopsis of methods and
practices available to those who wish to work on themselves to begin their
own personal yoga."
