The text was dictated by the astral figure of Master Hilarion, an adept described by Blavatsky as a member of ‘the Brotherhood of our Masters.’ It was conveyed to Mabel Collins (1851-1927), a young member of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society who collaborated with Madame Blavatsky in editing the Theosophical journal, ‘Lucifer.’ Collins received the text between October and December of 1884, and it was subsequently published in January 1885. The book also includes an essay on Karma.
