Excerpt from Peter: A Novel of Which He Is Not the Hero Peter was still poring over his ledger one dark afternoon in December, his bald head glistening like a huge ostrich egg under the flare of the overhead gas jets, when Pat rick, the night watchman, catching sight of my face peering through the outer grating, opened the door of the Bank. The sight so late in the day was an unusual one, for in all the years that l have called at the Bank - ten, now - no, eleven since we first knew each other - Peter had seldom failed to be ready for our walk uptown when the old moon faced clock high up on the wall above the stove pointed at four.

The Rosicrucian Mysteries (Esprios Classics)
Author: Max Heindel
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1794750487
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Rosicrucianism is a spiritual and cultural movement which arose in Europe in the early 17th century after the publication of several texts which purported to announce the existence of a hitherto unknown esoteric order to the world and made seeking its knowledge attractive to many. The mysterious doctrine of the order is "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe, and the spiritual realm." The manifestos do not elaborate extensively on the matter, but clearly combine references to Kabbalah, Hermeticism, alchemy, and mystical Christianity.
