Summary
Details

"An inestimable restatement of the original Gnosis!

Anna Kingsford (née Bonus) was one of the first women to become a physician in England, mystic and poet, feminist, and ardent anti-vivisectionist and vegetarian. She was way ahead of his time in her approach to spirituality. She is indeed an interesting turn-of-the-century writer whose ideas have been greatly influential and whose books are still worth reading. This manual of Esoteric devotion is compiled from her writings for the use of the large and increasing number of devout persons who, whether able or not to recognize under the orthodox presentation of religion the spiritual truths requisite for the sustenance and satisfaction of the soul, earnestly desire an expression of such truths divested of the veils of history, parable, allegory, and symbol by which hitherto they have been concealed rather than revealed, and, where perverted or mutilated, restored to their original proper sense and integrity.

LARGE PRINT EDITION.

Excerpt: ""CONCERNING HOLY WRIT: All Scriptures which are the true Word of God, have a dual interpretation, the intellectual and the intuitional, the apparent and the hidden.

2. For nothing can come forth from God save that which is fruitful.

3. As is the nature of God, so is the Word of God's mouth.

4. The letter alone is barren; the spirit and the letter give life.

5. But that Scripture is the more excellent which is exceeding fruitful and brings forth abundant signification.

6. For God is able to say many things in one, as the perfect ovary contains many seeds in its chalice.

7. Therefore, there are in the Scriptures of God's Word certain writings which, as richly yielding trees, bear more abundantly than others in the self-same holy garden.

8. And one of the most excellent is the history of the generation of the heavens and the earth.

9. For therein is contained in order a genealogy, which has four heads, as a stream divided into four branches, a word exceeding rich."""
