This first Volume is largely devoted to a consideration of the Sacred Language itself and the presentation of certain classical keys of interpretation, with some of the results of their application to the Scriptural stories, including especially the life of Christ,
From 'The Hidden Wisdom and why It is concealed' (p. vii):
" The greatest degree of power, which occult science can bestow is to be derived from knowledge of the unity and interaction between the Macrocosm and the Microcosm, the Universe and Man. 'The mystery of the earthly and mortal man is after the mystery of the supernal and immortal One', wrote Éliphas Lévi (1810 - 1875), Lao Tzu (6th century BC) also expresses this truth in his words: 'The Universe is a man on a larger scale'. "
The late Geoffrey Hodson is the author of The Brotherhood of Angels and Men and Clairvoyant Investigations.
