Among contemporary grown-up attempt to find the spot on which the end of the great rainbow rests, the palm for originality may fairly be claimed by theosophist A.P. Sinnett for his introduction to this incredulous Western world of the Mahatmas of Thibet. About four years ago, it will be remembered, Sinnett first drew attention to this extraordinary brotherhood by his book called "The Occult World," found it. He gave the philosophy of the discovery in a later book called "Esoteric Buddhism," and what may be called the romance of it later, in a novel of occult life called "Karma."
