This volume of the writings of Max Heindel, the Western Mystic, is the concluding number embodying the messages he sent out through monthly lessons to his students. These lessons, reprinted since this great soul was called to a greater work in the higher worlds on January 6th, 1919, may be found in the following books in addition to the present volume: “Freemasonry and Catholicism”; “The Web of Destiny”; “The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas”; “The Mysteries of the Great Operas”; “The Gleanings of a Mystic”; and “Letters to Students.” These writings comprise the later investigations of this seer.

The helpful messages and the spiritual encouragement that the readers have received from the inspired words in the earlier volumes we know have been far-reaching in their effects. We also feel that in years to come enlightened and advanced students and seekers along mystical and occult lines will realize more and more the true value of the works of Max Heindel. His words reach the very depths of the heart of the reader. Many who have read his first work, “The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception,” have been thrilled by their contact with it.
