Excerpt from The Theosophical Quarterly, 1922, Vol. 20 The purpose of the present notes and comments is to seek to trace, so far as the limitations of the writer allow, the general course of the Theosophical Movement in the centuries before that cyclic point, beginning with our earliest knowledge of religious and philosophical life in Greece. It was suggested several years ago, in these notes and comments, that Hellenic life and thought had been developed under the guidance of Masters Of Wisdom, with the purpose that the incarnation and work of the Western Avatar might be carried out in Greece, and that, when Greek religious life fell short of its goal, and entered on a period of surprisingly rapid degeneration about the time of Plato, a decision was reached to change the place of the coming Avatar to Palestine, where a second possible field of work had been prepared through the spiritual life and inspiration of the Schools of the Prophets.
