Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a study of the essential pattern of the laws of nature and initiation in the evolution of human cosciousness. Using examples from various cultural traditions, including Classical Greece and Ancient Egypt, the reader is introduced to the Rosicrucian philosophy of Francis Bacon which encompassed these ideas as well as the ideals of Humanism and Platonic-Orphic-Christian Love. The book acts as an introduction to later volumes which cover the subject in greater detail.
