The Wonder-Light & The Vow of Poverty

By Julia Keightley

These two books were originally published by Julia Keightley around the turn of the twentieth century. The first was under the name Mrs. J. Campbell Ver Planck, F.T.S., and the second under Jasper Niemand. Both authors are Julia Keightley. Julia had two children who both died as toddlers, and I believe this is why she always had the education of children in mind. It was some time after they died that she became active in theosophy. She wrote repeatedly that children should be taught the eternal truths of the universe early on in life. What these eternal truths are, is embodied in theosophy. Theosophy is the restatement of the Archaic Wisdom, or Perennial Philosophy, the synthesis of science, religion, and philosophy, leading toward the truth behind all things. It is an altruistic study based in the practice of selflessness and compassion, combined with impersonal love for all humanity --with no exclusions.
