PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
No explanation is thought necessary further than to corroborate
the author in all he has said in his somewhat unusual preface.
We have enjoyed immensely our work of giving to the world this
remarkable series of books on Occultism and appreciate the large
patronage they have received from the reading public for which
we return our sincere thanks. We hope the near future will give
us the work referred to by the author in his preface as
doubtless it will be a great revelation of Occult laws that
govern our little Earth in its relation to our Sun and solar
system of which it forms a part and give much light on those
subjects that have been shrouded in mystery.
"The Light of Egypt" will be found to be an Occult library in
itself a textbook of esoteric knowledge setting forth the
"wisdom Religion" of life as taught by the Adepts of Hermetic
Philosophy. It will richly repay all who are seeking the higher
life to carefully study this book as it contains in a nutshell
the wisdom of the ages regarding man and his destiny here and
hereafter. The London and American first edition also the French
edition Vol. I met with lively criticism from Blavatsky
Theosophists because it annihilates that agreeable delusion of
"Karma" and "Reincarnation" from the minds of all lovers of truth
for truth's sake.
"The Tablets of Aeth" is a great and mighty work as it contains
the very quintessence of Occult and Hermetic philosophy as
revealed by spiritual law. "Penetralia" is a new revelation and
invaluable to Occult students as it is the personal experience
of a developed soul.
To all lovers of Truth we respectfully recommend this Book of
Books as it has justly been called by many who are competent to
criticise its teachings. It was the author's wish that his name
be withheld from the public knowing full well that the teachings
contained in his works will prove his motto: "Omnia Vincit
Veritas."
Now that our author has passed beyond the power of the world to
flatter or condemn and has given his thought for the uplifting
of the human family it is but simple justice that he be made
known to the world as its teacher of a higher thought than has
preceded him. He shrank from public notoriety and modestly
refused to be publicly known to the world as one of its spiritual
leaders for the cycle upon which the Earth and its inhabitants
have entered but the time has come to announce publicly the
authorship of the works published anonymously under the symbol of
{} and his writings are to be judged by their merits and not by
prejudice nor personal bias as viewed from the human plane of
life.
He moved in the world comparatively unknown to the world at
large and his greatest friends though mystified did not
understand his true worth in spiritual greatness. The mask or
person often hides from view the angel in disguise. Therefore
our author must be judged by what he has written and not by his
personators and calumniators. The true student of Occultism
always judges the tree by its fruits. If the writings of our
author are judged by this standard they will stand as a beacon
light to higher rounds than ours.
PREFACE
These lessons were issued to a few of my pupils as "Private
Studies in Occultism" several years ago. The time has now come
to give them to the world as a companion to the first volume of
"The Light of Egypt."
It is the duty of Occult students to familiarize themselves with
the subjects herein discussed. They should know the ideas of our
ancestors regarding them and be familiar with their thought in
order to appreciate the sublime wisdom and knowledge of Nature as
taught by them otherwise we are sure to do them as well as
ourselves great injustice. The history of Occultism bears out
the fact that there is very little that is new to the present
time.
The arrangement and classification of thought differs during each
cycle of time on the different spirals and like the fruitage on
lower rounds of Nature's progressive wheel of destiny variety
and quality are diverse so likewise do we find the mental
manifestations. This age however is blessed with a great
variety and abundance of thought in clear-cut language that
should enlighten the races of the Earth with Mother Nature's
modus operandi in every department of human thought.
We hope these chapters will aid to this end and doubtless many
students will find in them the key to unlock the mysteries veiled
in symbol and hieroglyphic by ancient writers. The author's
object has been to make plain and easy of understanding these
subjects. Much however has been left for private study and
research for many large volumes might be filled if a detailed
description of each subject were entered upon which task is left
for those who feel so inclined. A rich reward is in store for
those spiritual investigators who will follow out the paths and
lines herein mapped out on Spiritual Astrology Alchemy and
other subjects. Meditation and aspiration will open up hidden
treasures that will prove a boon to Occult students for
Astrology and Alchemy are the two grand sciences that explain the
why and reasons for what we see and experience on every plane of
life. In this age there should be no concealing of these Divine
truths. We cannot hide anything in the air and for this reason
the Sun in Aquarius will unearth and reveal to man all that the
present cycle has to give during the Sun's passage through this
airy sign.
The watery sign Pisces through which the Sun manifested during
the past 2160 years gave up to man their secret powers and
hidden attributes in steam as a motive power which man has
completely mastered. He will likewise master the airy forces
during the present sub-cycle of the Sun in Aquarius. Already we
see him using liquid air and compressed air as a motive power
which will gradually take the place of steam as the Sun gets
farther into the sign or constellation of Aquarius. Men will
become immensely wiser than they have been and it is to be hoped
they will leave the written record of their achievements in
science and art to show to future races their status of mind on
