T He Course In Christian Mysticism
Christ taught the multitude in parables, but explained the mysteries
to His disciples. Paul gave milk to the babes, but meat to the strong.
Max Heindel, the founder and leader of the Rosicrucian Fellowship,
endeavored to follow in their steps and give to interested and devoted
students a deeper teaching than that promulgated in public.
For that purpose we conduct a correspondence course in Christian
Mysticism. The General Secretary may admit applicants to the preliminary
course, but advancement in the deeper degrees depends upon merit. It is
for those alone who have been tried, and found true.
