GEOFFREY A. BARBORKA was a profound student of oriental philisophy, particularly The Secret Doctrine, source book and classic of modern Theosophy. Many students felt the need for further explication of that profound text. Barborka had set himself to this task which ultimately resulted in writing the book The Divine Plan. His trade was that of a printer but he distinguished himself as a scholar, author and lecturer on theosophical topics. He was also a skilled musician and linguist. A lifetime theosophist, Barborka died in Ojai, California on September 30, 1982 at the age of 85.
