The extraordinary work that is The Voice of the Silence is part of a larger whole, called the Book of the Golden Precepts.  The gem The Voice of the Silence, which is characterised by short concentrated texts, comes from a school of initiation; it is also intended for people who follow a Spiritual School. More than that, it contains a universal wisdom and offers essential insights to every person who strives for truth; it has therefore been part of the core literature of many seekers all over the world for more than one hundred years.
H.P. Blavatsky always advised Theosophists who turned to her with concerns about the future: ‘Read the Voice – Read the Voice of the Silence – it contains all the answers to your questions.’ She saw this text as a final gift to those who were able to perceive something of the Light, and the world of the Light that stands behind it. 

The reflections of Jan van Rijckenborgh, which he wrote in the years 1962-1963 are addressed not only to pupils of the Lectorium Rosicrucianum - the School of the Golden Rosycross - which is an initiation school, but to all who seek the Light.
