From the Preface: "CAN "THE RIDDLE OF THE UNIVERSE" BE SOLVED? SINCE THE DAWN OF recorded history men have tried, but "the riddle" still remains. They failed, and all because they lacked the one essential--the key to Causation. This is the master key that unlocks all mysteries, but that key was lost in the spiritual night of the past 6,000 years. In that mythopoeic age that preceded this, men knew vastly more about Causation and Creation than he does today, but knowing also that an age of darkness was coming upon the world, the wise Initiates hid that key in certain Creation symbols--myth and scripture, zodiac and pyramid. These are the archives of the Ancient Wisdom, and now the time has come for that wisdom to return, hence this volume." Rare. . Hard. Very Good Plus/Very Good. 8vo.
