Sons of the Fire-Mist: A Study of Man

About this book

Humanity, in this esoteric account, begins in far stranger circumstances than ordinary history allows. The image of a fire-mist suggests life emerging through successive states of matter and consciousness.

Writing within a Theosophical framework, the anonymous author draws on speculative teachings about early human evolution and spiritual origins. These theories have no standing as scientific accounts of prehistory, but they illuminate the mythology developed by occult writers around the turn of the century. The book makes its most revealing moves when cosmology becomes an attempt to explain what a human being really is.
