This remarkable book by Max Heindel marks an entirely new departure in mystic literature.
For the first time in history the Western Wisdom Teaching concerning Life and Being which the Rosicrucians have guarded for centuries, is here given by an authorized messenger, for it is held that the world is ready to receive this advanced science of the soul, the religious philosophy of the Aquarian Age, now at hand. The existing soul-hunger and the satisfying nature of the Rosicrucian teachings are equally well attested by the phenomenal sale of this great book, and many thousands of letters received by the author from grateful students located all over the world, who testify that they there found what they have long sought elsewhere in vain.
We give herewith some headings of chapters and subdivisions as a slight indication of what is contained in this mine of mystic light and knowledge.

The idea that India is the main repository of occult knowledge is held by many who have forsaken the Christian Religion to embrace Hinduism. “Christ or Buddha?” shows most clearly that
THE WESTERN WISDOM TEACHINGS
throw a light upon the problems of life which is much more intense, far-reaching and soul satisfying in every respect than that of the Eastern teachings. A partial list of contents will indicate its scope.
Freemasonry and Catholicism
By MAX HEINDEL
An Esoteric Exposition of the Cosmic Facts underlying
these two Great Institutions, as determined
by Occult Investigation
Describes the influence of each of these institutions upon the evolution of mankind and the ultimate destiny of each.
The building of King Solomon’s Temple has always remained a theme of great interest; but add to this the story of the Queen of Sheba and the real builder of the Temple, Hiram Abiff, so seldom read of in current literature, and truly one is confronted by a story of exquisite and transcendent interest.
To have read this book is to have delved deep into the past and to have gained a glimpse into the mysteries that have puzzled philosophers in ages gone by. Only a Mystic and a trained Seer who has the divine gift of reading the Akashic Records of the past could give such a lucid description of this great subject.

Correspondence Courses
—————IN—————
CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM AND ASTROLOGY
Christian Mysticism: A correspondence course of twelve lessons upon the Rosicrucian Philosophy, using the Cosmo-Conception by Max Heindel, as a textbook. This philosophy gives a logical analysis of the origin, evolution, and future development of the world and man, showing both the spiritual and scientific aspects. It is entirely Christian, aiming to make religion a living factor in the world and to lead to Christ those who cannot reach Him by faith alone.
This course is open to all who are interested.
Astrology: We want to help you to help others, and for that reason we have instituted a correspondence course in Astrology. Astrology is to us a phase of religion, a Divine Science. We teach it to others on condition that they will not prostitute it for gain.
Anyone who is not engaged in fortune telling or similar methods of commercializing spiritual knowledge may be admitted to this course.
