The Rosicrucians: Their Teachings and Mysteries

About this book

Max Heindel treats Rosicrucian teaching as a way of reading both the visible world and the life of the soul. Human character, the body and repeated existence appear within a single spiritual plan.

The Rosicrucians: Their Teachings and Mysteries develops that system through a mixture of Christian imagery and modern occult ideas. The proposed invisible bodies and cosmic stages are teachings of Heindel's movement, without demonstrated physical basis. The value of the work lies in the precision of its own internal scheme and the insight it gives into how Rosicrucian identity was reshaped for a twentieth-century audience.
