Product Description

In 1924, Paul Foster Case expanded his First Year Course by developing two advanced lecture series which he entitled Section C: ‘Concentration’ and Section D: ‘Magic’. The lectures built upon the material in the ‘First Year Course’(which had become known at this time as Section A:‘The Life Power’ and Section B: ‘The Seven Steps to Spiritual Unfoldment’). The Fraternity of the Hidden Light has recently published both of these lecture series as “Occult Fundamentals and Spiritual Unfoldment - Volume 1: The Early Writings.” This current volume provides the two additional lecture series that complete the original fundamental course structure of Paul Case. Section C, ‘Concentration’, expounds the esoteric secrets of Meditation. This section is a very advanced series of lessons that not only develops the essential skill of concentration but commences the student upon the‘Path of Return’ with a series of powerful “Qabalistic Meditations.” These Meditations have a tendency to facilitate deep spiritual experience in those who are prepared and chose to participate. This lesson series indeed represents some of the most advanced material written by Paul Case. Section D, ‘Magic’, provides the esoteric secrets of Magic in a very rare exposition of the fundamental tenets of magical practice by one of the greatest occultists of the 20th century. Here again is material published by Paul Case that cannot be found in any of his later developed lesson series and provides insight into the “tools of the trade” practiced by Golden Dawn enthusiasts today.

Review
"For many of us who entered the temple of the western mysteries during the second half of the 20th century the teachings of Paul Foster Case laid for us a firm foundation for what would become a lifetime spiritual endeavor. As a young man I passionately devoured his B. O. T. A. Tarot and Qabalah correspondence lessons, which helped so many of us to develop the knowledge, skills and discipline necessary to pursue a life of esoteric study and practice. This wisdom, however, was for the most part reserved for the private edification of subscribers to his monographs. To the rest of the world, Paul Case remained a "Hidden Master." I am happy to say this is changing. I offer the Fraternity of the Hidden Light my highest praise and deepest gratitude for bringing to light Case's marvelous early writings - perhaps his most advanced teachings. This is a treasure house of esoteric wisdom." - Lon Milo DuQuette, author of `My Life with the Spirits' and `The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford.' --Lon Milo DuQuette, author of `My Life with the Spirits' and `The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford.'

Customer Reviews

Another excellent sampling of Paul Foster Case's Esoteric philosophy.
This book does a good job in introducing the reader to the forms of meditation and magical models Brother Case used to arrive at his later conclusions regarding esoteric science. The reader can use the same material or develop on the forms and models presented to make his/her own conclusions along similar lines. Highly recommended for those who enjoy/practice the western mystery traditions.

A Great Practical Guide
This book is a continuation of the concepts and exercises begun in Volume 1:Occult Fundamentals and Spiritual Unfoldment - Volume 1: The Early Writings. These are two of the best sources available to the general public, providing a clear explanation and practical exercises for those interested in spiritual unfoldment using the concepts of the Western Mystery Tradition.

Only for the Dedicated
It is a well crafted book. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you can buy the second volume without true knowledge of the Tarot, Hebrew and the Tree of Life. There are no shortcuts here if you really want to learn. If you are willing to buy the first volume as well as read some of the other material Paul Foster Case has written, then and only then will you be able to comprehend the second volume. This book takes true dedication and to get through it effectively, expect to study for a year. Then you will need to go through it again, and then again, and then again if you want to get the most from it. It would be helpful to know either Hindu Astrology and Numerology as you study this book. For numerology, Finding Your Perfect Soulmate or Business Partner: Finding That Perfect Someone Through the Science of NumbersNumerology is helpful, but not a requisite. I created a simple way to begin to understand numerology. Good luck!
