The Mahatmas whom this book depicts are members of our own evolutionary group, not visitors from the celestial spheres.
They are supermen only in that they have attained knowledge of the laws of life and mastery over its forces with which we are still struggling. They are not Gods come down to earth, but earthly mortals risen to the status of Christ.
They ask from us no reverence, no worship; they demand no allegiance but that which it is expected we shall render to the principles of Truth and Fact, and to the nobility of life.
They are our ""Elder Brothers,"" not distant deities; and will even make their presence known to us and grant us the privilege of cooperating with them when we have shown ourselves capable of working unselfishly for mankind. They are not our Masters in the sense of holding lordship over us; they are the ""Masters of Wisdom and Compassion."" Moved by an infinite sympathy with the whole human race they have renounced their right to go forward to more splendid conquests in sppiritual evolution.
In seven sections they present themselves as a kind of guide to man's position in the universe via Q&As and other presentations as well as advise the author in personal conduct.

If you are part of the audience that understands a metaphysical vocabulary, is amused by Buddhic sweet talk, Theosophical insider chatter, latin quotes, Sanskrit words, obscure references to little known authors, pretend words, bolded-small cap and italicized nicieties, you will feel at home.
You will see too many odd-ball words like, inmetalliations, inherbations, zoonisations, etc
The tone is sometimes gossipy and can describe the kind of accusational fencing matches of the period
The author was the editor of a UK metaphysical magazine in the L870s
