The Angel and the Demon

About this book

An angel and a demon inhabit the same inner kingdom. In this Point Loma Theosophical manual, the struggle between them unfolds through conscience, temptation and the choices by which a person gives one side greater power.

The Angel and the Demon was issued as the twelfth manual in a series associated with Katherine Tingley's Theosophical school, in two volumes. Its figures stand for the higher and lower aspects of human nature, a division central to the movement's ideas of self-mastery. The argument becomes most vivid when ordinary acts of selfishness threaten to drive the rightful ruler out of the soul's own kingdom.
