By Signs and Symbols: Initiation in the Western Mystery Tradition

Quantum Physics asserts that everything in the Universe is energy - energy in motion! Metaphysics has always stated that everything is consciousness.

The All is mind, the Universe is mental.

• The Kybalion[JO1] , p. 26

Initiates affirm that the point of creation is within. More and more rapidly we see these viewpoints coincide, validating each other. It is interesting to note that modern philosophies, such as New Thought, are confirming what Ageless Wisdom has always taught.

These doctrines were once the province of the Mystery schools, available only to a carefully tested, select few and guarded by initiatic oaths. Today, we can harness these techniques to help us realize our full potential and achieve our destiny of enlightenment. Properly used, these ancient disciplines and skills can help us to realize health, happiness and love.

In this book we will explore the ultimate goal of the Mystery teachings. We will discuss how consciousness works and how the Divine energy manifests differently at the several levels of the creative process. We will compare the Qabalistic and Hermetic systems to modern sacred psychology. We will learn how to access the Council Chamber of the Masters and to receive the advice of our inner teacher.
