In line with the Theosophical Society's rich tradition of issuing ‘little’ books on its core teachings, we present ‘The Journey Is the Goal’ by Ruby P. Tovet, a concise yet cogent account of Human Evolution and the Seven Races.

Published by Bradford Theosophical Society in association with Nosegay Books, this illustrated volume is an easy and optimistic account of this complex topic, and an excellent reference book for all those interested in occult science. It is particularly recommended for group work.

Ms Tovet, a long-serving Theosophist and member of the Bradford Lodge, has spent decades researching and teaching the Ancient Wisdom.

“Over the years of teaching theosophy I’ve found that people regarded this as a fascinating but obscure subject wrapped up in ponderous amounts of arcane detail, out-dated Victorian comments and speculation, all of which made it difficult to hold coherently in the mind,” she says.

“Even Geoffrey Barborka’s excellent pared down account has to be approached through a maze of page and book references and attention to fine scholastic detail which leave the non-academic reader too full by half. Yet this story is too good news to be left on the shelf. It tells us that life and the universe go on for ever….. and so do we!

“We even discover that we are an integral part of the evolutionary development of consciousness which implies that all we have to do to serve is BE and BECOME. Anything which gives such basic purpose to existence cannot be left unread.”

In 'The Journey Is the Goal' Ruby has picked out only the salient factors to construct this fascinating story of humanity’s long sojourn on this planet with all its struggles, triumphs and errors.

Ruby P Tovet, a member of Bradford Theosophical Society has long specialised in blending the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom with modern psycho-therapeutic findings. Ruby has studied the Ageless Wisdom for over 30 years and given lectures all over the UK.

Ms Tovet’s Second book 'Humanity in Bloom: The Nurturing of Our Seven-fold Being', and her Third book 'The Inner Being: Co-operating with Divinity', have been warmly received in Theosophical circles.
