An Elementary Exposition of their Secret Teachings 
 
Max Heindel. 
 
Rosicrucian Fellowship. Third edition. Hardcover. Octavo. Dings on the boards' corners and spine's crown and foot. Smudges on the boards. Stains on endpapers and the textblock's edges. The attached endpaper has tears along its top. Leaves a bit browned. 198 pages plus a Rosicrucian course overview, 19 index pages, and advertisements. Very good. 
 
A lucid tour for beginners through the Rosicrucians' view of life and the spirit and body's evolutionary possibilties. 
 
"If the occultist obtains illumination and evolves within himself the latent spiritual faculties, he may use them for the furtherance of his personal objects, to the great detriment of his fellow-men. That is black-magic, and the punishment which it automatically calls down upon the head of the perpetrator is so awful that it is best to draw the veil over it. The mystic may also err because of ignorance, and fall into the meshes of nature's law, but actuated by love, his mistakes will never be very serious, and as he grows in grace the soundless voice within his heart will speak more distinctly to teach him the way. The Rosicrucian Fellowship endeavors to prepare the world in general, and the sensitivities of the two groups in particular."
