'Max Heindel was a Christian occultist, astrologer, and mystic. In 1903, he moved to Los Angeles, California, seeking work. After attending lectures by the theosophist C.W. Leadbeater, he joined the Theosophical Society of Los Angeles, of which he became vice-president in 1904 and 1905. He also became a vegetarian, and began the study of astrology, which he felt gave him the key to unlocking the mysteries of man's inner nature. Overwork and privation brought him severe heart trouble in 1905, and for months he lay at the point of death. Upon his recovery he said he was more keenly aware of the needs of humanity. He said that he spent much of the time during this illness out of his body, consciously working and seeking for the truth as he might find it on the invisible planes. He founded The Rosicrucian Fellowship in 1909/11 at Mount Ecclesia, Oceanside (California)' Dit boek, 'Teachings of an Initiate', bevat 26 Hoofdstukken, waaronder The sign of the Master, The Way of Wisdom, New Age, Mystic light on the World War, Scientific method of spiritual unfoldment, Our Work in the World, Responsibility of knowledge, Journey through the wilderness.
