The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception: Mystic Christianity

Max Heindel1909
AdvancedPrimary Sourcecomplete

The foundational text of the Rosicrucian Fellowship and a primary work of 20th-century Western esotericism. Max Heindel presents a systematic 'cosmo-conception' that explains the past evolution, present constitution, and future development of humanity. He detailes the seven worlds, the seven periods of evolution, and the nature of the human spirit. Drawing on both Rosicrucian tradition and Theosophical concepts, Heindel seeks to reconcile occult science with 'Mystic Christianity'.
