Product Description

The Rosiprucian Cosmo-conceptipion is not dogmatic, neither does it appeal to any other authority than the reason of the student. It is: not controversial, but is; sent forth in the, hope- that it may help to clear some of the difficulties which have beset the minds of students of the deeper philosophies in the past. In order to avoid serious misunderstanding, it should be firmly, impressed upon the mind of the student, however, that there is no infallible revelation of this complicated subject, which includes everything under the sun and above it also. An infallible exposition would predicate omniscience upon the part of the writer, and even the Elder Brothers tell us that they are sometimes at fault in their judgment, so a book which shall say the last word on the World-Mystery is out of the question, and the writer of the present work does not pretend to give aught but the most elementary teachings of the Rosicrucians. The Rosicrucian Brotherhood has the most far-reaching, the most logical conception of the World-Mystery of which the writer has gained any knowledge during the many years he has devoted exclusively to the study of this subject So far as he has been able to investigate, their teachings have been found in accordance with facts as he knows them. Yet he is convinced that the Rosicrucian Cosmo-conception is far from being the last word on the subject; that as we advance greater vistas of truth will open to us and make clear many things which we now "see through a glass, darkly." At the same time he firmly believes that all other philosophies of the future will follow the same main lines, for they appear to be absolutely true.

Customer Reviews

An essential, unique resource for your metaphysical library.
This book deals with many esoteric topics, including metaphysical physiology and cosmology, and a history of the evolution of the human soul from before awareness, before form, through various incarnations of our planet on various planes, to eons in the future. Compared to this understanding, time lines of the great Yugas (240 million-year cyles) are but a blink of the eye. Laggard souls, and animal and mineral life waves, each experiencing their various points in evolution in different planes and conditions, account for the myriad of lifeforms and types of consciousness on this planet. The book also deals with the nature of the Christ, of Yahweh, and of other aspects and divisions of God and Divine offices.

In an attempt to bridge to the understandings of the readers at the time this book was written, the author references some medical and physical concepts that no longer ring true today. But after you work through those difficulties, you will see the vast concepts that he is trying to convey.

The author, Max Heindel, is an ascended master.

What is Man?
This is the book for us all (humans!). Who are we? Whence do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? What are we going to do with ourselves to be IT (I AM)? This book is very difficult to read from the beginning. But as you read and "re-read" and you put what you have read into practice, Ah! you will see the LIGHT. This book is not meant to be read lightly. That is, do not read it to simply obtain knowledge. If you simply want to obtain knowledge or intelligence only, you will be very disappointed. If in wisdom, you will find joy more abundantly. It is your life. Put your life in good use and you will be IT. This book reveals the true man and his journey through involution, evolution and epigenesis. This book also reveals the latent potentials of man and how man can transmute his latency into dynamic powers. This book authored by Max Heindel furthermore reveals the true Rosicrucians and their mission to help man. It has been once said that: "for, each step we take to acquire knowledge, we must take three extra steps to improve our character." This book was written with the help of the ROSICRUCIANS to present to the Western World the Mission of the Christ and it is therefore a must for all Christian sects, especially the priests, ministers and the like to read this book. This a book we must all read.

A Great Book For Aspiring Gnostics
This book is an excellent outline of the Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception.

It does, however, contain some mistakes; mistakes which have been corrected by the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.

It is said that Max Heindel received instructions from the Elder Brethren of the Temple.

Well, then Samael Aun Weor IS an Elder Brother.

Nonetheless, Max Heindel's book certainly complements works such as H.P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled" and "The Secret Doctrine", Rudolf Steiner's "Outline of Occult Science", Godfrey Higgin's "Celtic Druids" and "Anacalypsis", Master M:.'s "The Dayspring of Youth" and "The Lord God of Truth Within", Dion Fortune's "Mystical Qabalah", and anything written by Manly P. Hall and Samael Aun Weor.

I definitely recommend to study, and have a copy of Max Heindel's "Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception" on one's bookshelf.

It is also highly recommended to refer to Samael Aun Weor's "Astrotheurgy", "The Major Mysteries", and "The Revolution of Beelzebub".
