{"product_id":"the-idyll-of-the-white-mabel-collins-9781612039473","title":"The Idyll of the White Lotus","description":"The Idyll of the White Lotus is a story told in all ages, and among every people. It is the tragedy of the soul. Attracted by desire, it stoops to sin; brought to itself by suffering, it turns for help to the redeeming spirit within and in the final sacrifice achieves its apotheosis and sheds a blessing on mankind. It is a story of initiation written in tender and beautiful language, and bears on its face the stamp of verdicity in simplicity and dignity. Behold I stood alone, one among many, an isolated individual in the midst of a united crowd. And I was alone, because, among all the men my brethren who knew, I alone was the man who both knew and taught. I taught the believers at the gate, and was driven to do this by the power that dwelleth in the sanctuary. I had no escape, for in that deep darkness of the most sacred shrine, I beheld the light of the inner life, and was driven to reveal it, and by it was I upheld and made strong. For indeed, although I died, it took ten priests of the temple to accomplish my death, and even then they but ignorantly thought themselves powerful. Mabel Collins was a writer of popular occult novels, a fashion writer and an anti-vivisection campaigner. She was a theosophist and author of over 46 books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mabel Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612039472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612039473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spastic Cat Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Mabel Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068837458175,"sku":"9781612039473","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_274cb45e-b90d-4e50-86bd-c33bd8d0e7ed.jpg?v=1685421283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-idyll-of-the-white-mabel-collins-9781612039473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
