Book Description
First, the Atlantean Darkness had driven away the Kings of Light. Then, the Semites debauched the Holy of Holies. Every birth is an ever-recurring miracle, evidence that within the workshop of the womb an intelligent creative power has intervened to fasten a living soul to a physical machine. The metaphor of the Holy of Holies in sacred constructions was taken from the idea of the sacredness of the organs of generation, and carried to the extreme by the Churches. Vedic woman was as free as man, for no impure terrestrial thought was ever mixed with the religious symbology of the early Aryans. The seclusion of women in penetralia began with the Mohammedans, the next heirs to Hebrew symbolism after Christian ecclesiasticism. Aryan and Semitic religious systems of thought are two opposing poles: sincerity and spirituality versus concealment and animalism. Everything holy and precious has been so much defiled and desecrated, that the dark age we live in is now much darker. A quick overview of the Semitic theological predicament. The real serpent of Genesis is “the Lord God” himself, not the membrum virile. The serpent has always been an emblem of Wisdom and Eternity, the dual Androgyne or Agathodaimon, Light + Shadow coiled within a Grand Cycle, and manifesting as the opposing forces of Good and Evil — eternally reacting upon each other. Esoterically, serpent is Logos, the bearer of Divine Creative Wisdom that taught men to become creators in their turn. No sin could be attributed to the alleged “disobedience” of Adam and Eve in the bower of Eden. The only disobedience that incurs harsh punishment is contempt of the laws of spiritual life. Estrangement from the love of god and our neighbour will bring about spiritual death for personal immortality is conditional. There is no sin worse than suppression of Truth, and ingratitude to the ancient teachers of Occult Science. When the Kalki-Avatara appears men will be born again without sin, as the early Third Race Lemurians were. Our Saviours preferred free will to passive slavery, intellectual self-conscious pain and even torture to inane, imbecile, instinctual beatitude. But while saving man from mental darkness, they inflicted upon him the torment and tortures of unmastered self-consciousness, the outcome of his free will, besides every ill to which man and flesh are heir to. The key to understanding the “original sin,” and the redemption from sin, is the Promethean Sacrifice. Thus the boon of Prometheus became a curse, though foreknown and foreseen by the Divine Host (the Dhyani-Chohans of the Secret Doctrine) personified in that personage, as his name well shows. It is in this Promethean act that rests the cause of the “sin” and its redemption. The real sin is man’s passions and proclivities that chain his higher aspirations to the rock of matter, and bring forth the vulture of sorrow and pain that eats his insides. It is biblical allegories, such as the “fall,” “atonement,” and “crucifixion,” that led Western Humanity through roads knee-deep in blood. These allegories led people to believe in the dogma of an evil spirit distinct from the spirit of all-good, whereas the former lives in all-matter and pre-eminently in man. To cap it all, the Churches invented the God-slandering dogmas of hell and eternal perdition. By debasing number 7, the Jews made their religion rest solely on physiological symbols, thus deifying sexual Theogony and adoring the phallus. They were a remarkably matter-of-fact, unspiritual people at all times. They debauched the pure ideal of a wholly immaterial creation into an emblem of human reproduction and sexuality. The Hebrew Scriptures had been tampered with and remodelled, had been lost and rewritten a dozen times before the days of Ezra, who reconstructed the old lost Jewish Books to suit his own ambitions. From Genesis to the last word of Deuteronomy, the Pentateuch is the symbolical narrative of the sexes and an apotheosis of Phallicism under astronomical and physiological personations. The higher keys to the Archaic Wisdom-Religion that were once humanity’s common property are now obfuscated. No key to the universal language-system can ever open the mysteries of creation in a work in which, whether through design or carelessness, nearly every sentence has been made to apply to the latest outcome of religious views — to Phallicism, and to nothing else. Plato’s motto “God geometrizes” was accepted by both Aryans and Jews. But while the former applied their Science of Correspondences to veil the most spiritual and sublime truths of Nature, the latter used their acumen to conceal only one of the mysteries of evolution (to them the most divine), namely, that of birth and generation, and then idealised the male organ. While composing their national allegories, the Jews never had more than three keys out of seven — the astronomical, the numerical and, above all, the purely anthropological or rather physiological key. This resulted in the most phallic religion of all, and this has now passed, part and parcel, into Christian theology. Religious anthropolatry stimulated the exercise of black, left-hand magic, and overshadowed the Archaic Wisdom Religion, that of the “Sons of God,” the B’ne Elohim of old. This double sin led to the “Great War” and the “Great Flood” of Atlantis, and is the forerunner of worse calamities to come. Self-gratification and phallic-worship are the main causes of suffering in today’s world. An old, simple symbol of the Holy of Holies was a white tent. In Egyptian and Hebrew temples, it evolved into a four-colour curtain suspended from four pillars. Then the “Sanctuary” became the “Holy of Holies,” and the arcanum anthropomorphised, phallicised, sullied with indecency, and polluted by gross matter. For the Pantheists, the chaste sarcophagus embraced the periodical reawakenings of Cosmos, Nature, and Man to new objective existences. But the Jews, whose realism was as practical and gross in the days of Moses as it is now, viewed it differently. Their King David danced “uncovered” before the Ark of the Covenant, anxious to appear vile for the sake of his “Lord.” They even embellished the chaste Ark with two cherubs facing each other, and their wings spread in such a manner as to form a perfect yoni. Yet, in India, the Ark has always been symbolised by the golden cow; in Egypt, by the sarcophagus or female principle; and in Greece, by the crescent-form of the new Moon. The Holy Spirit is now surrounded by the unholy dancers of the “temple.” Ashtoreth-Astarte is a reflection of the Chaldean Nuah or Universal Mother, the female Noah. Then we have Belita or Tamtu (Chaldean for sea), the Mother of the City of Erech who became Eve, Mary (Latin for sea), the Virgin of the Latin Church standing on the crescent-moon and at times on the globe, to vary the program. Plenty of other variations of navis (Latin for ship, from Greek ναυς), the ship-like form of the crescent, which blends in itself all those common symbols of the ship of life, such as Noah’s Ark, the Yoni of the Hindus, and the Ark of the Covenant (i.e., the Universal “Mother of Gods”), are now found in every Christian Church as the nave (ablative case of navis). The mystic word Alm that Mohammed prefixed to many chapters of the Koran alludes to the Immaculate Virgin of the Supreme Heavens. It is from the same root that comes the word Almeh, the Egyptian dancing-girls, “virgins” of the same type as the Nachnis of India, and the female Qedoshim of the Jewish temples. Even IO, the pillar and circle, the first decimal number or Sun and Moon, was desecrated. Jehovah is the originator of measures, and of the British inch. He is merely a composite name for membrum virile and Eve, a hermaphrodite. Jehovah is in one sense Noah or, literally translated, inch! Jehovah and Moses is one more permutation. Still, the Holy of Holies is an international symbol. The worship of the “god in the ark” dates only from David; and for a thousand years Israel knew of no phallic Jehovah. Now the old Kabbalah, edited and re-edited, has become tainted with it. The passage through the “golden” cow in the same stooping position as the one shown in the gallery of the Pyramid of Cheops, identifies man with Jehovah in Hebrew esotericism. The difference lies in the spirit of interpretation. With the Hindus as with the ancient Egyptians, that Spirit was, and is, entirely metaphysical and psychological; with the Hebrews, realistic and physiological. With the ancient Aryan, the stooping man at the entrance of the Sanctum Sanctorum symbolises the virtuous man in his trial of life (Chrēstos in humiliation), who is about to pass through the matrix of Mother Nature in order to regain his former spiritual status, that of pre-natal Christos, the Divine Man. With the Semite, the same stooping man stands for the fall of Spirit into matter, apotheosized by dragging Deity down to the level of animal man. The Semite interpretations emanated from, and were pre-eminently those, of a small tribe — thus marking its national features and the idiosyncratic defects that characterize many of the Jews to this day: gross realism, selfishness, and sensuality. An abyss separates Hinduism from Christian Judaism. The religion of the Hindu detaches him from earth; The religion of the Jew, being a wise prudential feeling grounded on mere calculation, attaches him to earth. Built solely on phallic worship, Judaism has become a religion of hate and malice toward everyone and everything outside themselves. In Hinduism, the Holy of Holies is a universal abstraction, whose dramatis personæ are Infinite Spirit and Nature; in Christian Judaism, it is a personal God outside of Nature and the human womb, i.e., a phallic god and his image on earth, the man of flesh. Jehovah is simply a fancy and a perversion of the Holy Name. It is the Esoteric teachings and the Initiates of the Future, whose mission is, and will always be, to redeem and ennoble once more the primitive conception so sadly profaned by its crude and gross application to exoteric dogmas, and fanciful personations by theological and ecclesiastical religionists. The secret or esoteric worship of the Jews was the same Pantheism that the Vedantin philosophers are reproached with today; Jehovah was a substitute for purposes of an exoteric national faith, and had no importance or reality in the eyes of the erudite priests and philosophers. Jehovah can only be regarded as the creator of our globe and its heaven, namely, the firmament. A grotesque verse from Exodus kabbalistically interpreted by J. Ralston Skinner. The Semites seem to have had no other or higher purpose in life than that of procreating their species. They had no aspirations towards the Ideal. The real Holy of Holies is a ray of Absolute Truth. It is our innermost and highest Spiritual Consciousness. We should not blaspheme against It by ascribing to It our finite conceptions.

Book Description
Materialism is the mother of all vices and root of the sin and suffering in the world. It is the negation of pure Spirit, resulting in brutality, hypocrisy, greed, and selfishness. Further proof of the moral blindness of materialism is the unquestioning belief in the necromantic apparitions of the disembodied “spirits” of the dead. Modern Science cannot unveil the mystery of the Spirit of Cosmos to the eyes of man. It can collect, classify, and generalize upon phenomena; but the Occultist declares that the daring explorer, who would probe the inmost secrets of Nature, must transcend the narrow limitations of sense, and elevate his Manas to the realm of noumena and the sphere of primal causes. To run counter to the views of modern Science’s most eminent exponents, is to court a premature discomfiture in the eyes of the Western world. Occultism is at odds with the spiritual blindness of anthropomorphism, idealism and hylo-idealism, positivism and the all-denying modern psychology and, not least, the endless speculations of physicists who are at loggerheads with each other. The ancient belief that the Sun is the God of Spiritual and Terrestrial Light, is nowadays regarded as a superstition only by rank materialism, that denies the triadic hypostasis of Deity–Spirit–Soul, and admits no intelligence outside the mind of man. The ever-concealed Central Spiritual Sun is the all-pervading Spirit of Life animating the playground of numberless Universes, incessantly manifesting and disappearing. Its creative energy, having originated in the Central Point, is then stored in the visible Sun, the Life- and Health-Giver of the physical world; and then, from deep in the bowels of the Earth, it keeps flowing incessantly out of the North Pole towards the Equator. Francis Bacon was among the first to strike the keynote of materialism, by inverting the order of mental evolution, not only by his inductive method renovated from ill-digested Aristotle, but also by the general tenor of his writings. The Light of Spirit is the eternal Sabbath of the Mystic. Fiat Lux, esoterically rendered, means “Let there be the Sons of Light,” i.e., the noumena of all phenomena. The Sons of Light are the Logoi of Life shooting out like seven fiery tongues from the infinite Ocean of Light, whose supernal pole is pure Spirit lost in Non-Being, and whose infernal pole condenses and crystallizes into gross matter.

Book Description
Works of fiction are no fiction, but presentiments of what lies in the bosom of the future. Many will be the unconscious crimes committed, and many will be the victims who will innocently suffer death at the hands of the righteous judges and the too innocent jurymen, both alike ignorant of the fiendish power of suggestion. The body may be slain but not the soul. The consequences of the death penalty for judge and jury, the community at large. and not the least for the criminal, are too grim and too harsh to contemplate. Capital punishment is futile, unnecessary, and fraught with potentially dire societal harms. While the seed of a tree may be destroyed, the spiritual “seed” which produces the soul of a man cannot be destroyed by capital punishment, but will eventually produce such a man again as sure as the seed of a thistle will produce nothing else but a thistle. One’s criminal powers and proclivities cannot be eliminated by killing his body. Having been deprived of one instrument for their manifestation, such powers will manifest themselves in other, still less convenient, and more dangerous ways. Moreover, by deferring the manifestation of an evil cause we pass on to a future generation an evil inheritance, with which we ourselves ought to have contended, and which we ought to have sought to ameliorate. Mortal man is an instrument of immortal spirit. A ray of divine mind dwells in the heart of every man. But the divine mind is veiled in man; his animal brain alone philosophises. The physical man is the musical instrument; the divine the performing artist. The physical body is a transient mask of the spiritual man within, and instrument of action on the objective plane. By the power of an inequitable law the slayer’s knife did stab himself, thus the unjust judge has lost his own defender. Letter to “Lucifer” from a puzzled student. Like an eye-for-an-eye, capital punishment is nothing but a relic of Jewish barbarity. As the juryman, in deciding for a verdict of guilty, becomes an accessory in a fresh murder, so an increasing number of people refuse to repay evil for evil.

Book Description
And MAN CREATED GOD presents the Agnostic view point using science, history and logic while denying all religious belief and faith in revelations from a Creator or God. Reviews And MAN CREATED GOD is vigorous and clearly written. Readers should have no doubt about the position you take, the positions you challenge, and why you find religious beliefs doubtful. It articulates very well what you call the agnostic position. Charles F. Kielkopf, Professor of Philosophy, Ohio State University

Book Description
Unknown and Unknowable is the Supreme Mystery-God. It is the Voice of the Ineffable Name and the Wisdom of the Initiates (Epopteia). It is the Holy of Holies, the Unity of Unities, more ineffable than all Silence, more occult than all Essence. It is Plato’s Unspeakable All, He whom no person has seen, except the Son. It is Pythagoras’ Ineffable God’s Name, and key to the mysteries of the Kabbalah. It is the Holy Word of God that “no man knew but He himself.” The Name is Ineffable because non-existent. It permeates the Moon and Stars, yet It is different from the Moon and Stars. It never differentiates but only emanates. There is no need travelling to distant places to find It. The Name is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart. It may rush into infinite worlds in sleepless whirling, yet It remains latent in the deepest recesses of thy heart. The Ineffable Name is Deity Itself, but not God. Nameless, unpronounceable, yet universally diffused Essence, the Ineffable is Kama-Eros-Phanes or noumenon of Fohat, i.e., Divine Will or Eternal Desire of manifesting Itself through visible creation. The Name lies hidden within the Pythagorean Tetrad or Tetractys. It is expressed by the Tau Cross, signet of the Living God. The double motion of the philosophical cross is the great arcanum of life and being. Deity is Nameless, Numberless, No-thing, Absolute Darkness. God is quaternary: Ineffable–Silence–Father–Truth. All powers and great symphonies of physical and spiritual nature lie inscribed within the Perfect Square. That is why the Ineffable Name was replaced by the Sacred Tetrad or Tetractys, the most binding and solemn oath with the ancient mystics. There are three Tetrads: the Unfathomable Father (First Logos), Its creative emanation or Heavenly Man (Second Logos), and the embodied reflection of the latter in humanity at large (Third Logos), or the Tetragrammaton of the Jews. Only the first is the real, Pythagorean Tetractys; the other two are counterfeit. The Ineffable Word is identical with the “Ineffable Name” of the Masons and the Kabbalists. The Word itself is only a substitute for the Masonic “Lost Word,” and a comparatively modern invention. The “Lost Word” is no word at all, as in the case of the “Ineffable Name.” It ought to stand as “lost words” and lost secrets, in general. Nor the “Name” is a name, but Sound or rather Motion. The “Name” is not “ineffable,” it is “unpronounceable” or rather not to be pronounced.

Book Description
Occultism has long passed beyond the region of careless amusement and entered that of serious inquiry. Works of fiction are no fictions, but true presentiments of what lies in the bosom of the future. Woe to the ignorant and the unprepared, and those who listen to the sirens of materialistic science!

Book Description
The body of the world is a huge storehouse of corruption and degeneracy. In the great magical agent, which is the Astral light, are preserved all the impressions of things, all the images formed, either by their rays or by their reflections; it is in this light that our dreams appear to us, it is this light which intoxicates the insane and sweeps away their enfeebled judgment into the pursuit of the most fantastic phantoms. To see without illusions in this light it is necessary to push aside the reflections by a powerful effort of the will, and draw to oneself only the rays. Who are the dead whom we take for the living, and the vampires whom we mistake for friends? They are the poisonous mushrooms of the human species, absorbing the vitality of the living; that is why their approach paralyzes the soul, and sends a chill to the heart. These corpse-like beings prove all that has ever been said of the vampires, those dreadful creatures who rise at night and suck the blood from the healthy bodies of sleeping persons. In the hands of the true adept of the East, a simple wand of bamboo with seven joints, supplemented by their ineffable wisdom and indomitable will-power, suffices to evoke spirits and produce the miracles authenticated by the testimony of a cloud of unprejudiced witnesses.

Book Description
Sound and Light, hearing and sight, are always associated. But sound is seen before it is heard. It is useless to demand or expect from the learned men of our age that which they are absolutely incapable of doing for us, until the next cycle changes and transforms entirely their inner nature by “improving the texture” of their spiritual minds. Unless there is an opening, however small, for the passage of a ray from a man’s higher self to chase the darkness of purely material conceptions from the seat of his intellect, his task can never be wrought to a successful termination. For the sun needs an eye to manifest its light. And this, we think, is the case with the materialist: he can judge psychic phenomena only by their external aspect, and no modification is, or ever can be, created in him, so as to open his insight to their spiritual aspect.
