Gods in the Becoming

About this book

A god may be a being still in the making. George S. Arundale places that startling idea at the centre of a Theosophical account of human development.

His writing considers spiritual powers and latent capacities through the movement's language of evolution and initiation. Divine life appears as something in which human beings may gradually participate. Arundale treats this possibility with the confidence of an insider, assigning spiritual purpose to personal change and service. Behind the elaborate vocabulary lies a question about what a human life might become after years of deliberate cultivation.
