Franklin Merrell-Wolff continues this series by returning to a consideration of the eighth postulate or assumption regarding assistance that may be given to the evolving entity. He introduces and comments upon the third fundamental of The Secret Doctrine and a footnote in The Voice of the Silence in order to stress the importance of taking personal responsibility in following the yogic path, while at the same time recognizing that an attitude of surrender and self-sacrifice may call forth assistance within the limits allowed by karma. Wolff proceeds to a discussion of the ninth postulate that ultimate death or annihilation is an impossibility. He submits that, like the metamorphosis of the butterfly, what we call death is a transformation into another way of consciousness and not essential termination. He goes on to describe the death process as presented in the Theosophical eschatology found in The Secret Doctrine and The Mahatma Letters. Wolff concludes this discourse with another parenthetical comment regarding his dedication to the protection and promulgation of the Dharma.
