DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book, which followed "The House of the Hidden Places", was and still is one of the deepest insights into the real meaning of the Pyramids and their significance as places of initiation for the ancient religion of Egypt. "And I have confined my efforts", says the author, "to attempting to express in a clear and popular form, which all may easily follow, an outline of those deeply veiled doctrines of which I may have caught a glimpse; and thus to present such an account of the earliest recorded religion as may afford to all some conception of its transcendent majesty and supernal beauty.

Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ..." HIS Book is the Greatest of Mysteries. T Do not let the'eye of anyone look upon it--that were abomination. The Book of the Master of t/ze Secret House is its name." So runs the emphatic declaration contained in the great papyrus, of which we have made such frequent mention; and the whole contents are in harmony with it. For throughout there is scarcely a paragraph the expression of which is not studiously obscure and difficult of interpretation. Yet recondite as are both subject and form, we find in it a clue, in some degree at least, to penetrate the mystical teaching of the Egyptian priesthood, that is to say, the doctrines which they taught not merely as to the-nature of the Creator and his original relation to the creature, but also as to the means whereby the creature is admitted to participate in the mysteries of the Creator. The papyrus in question, which was found in the coffin of a priest named Auf Ankh, is now preserved at Turin. And a facsimile of it was published by Lepsius in A.D. 1842. That distinguished Egyptologist thought good to call it the Book of t/ze Dead; a title which usage has rendered almost too familiar to disturb, but which, in itself, is by no means happy, for it gives the idea of regarding the holy departed as dead, whereas the whole conception of the doctrine was the instruction in Life and Light. A much better description is that given by Champollion, who called it the Funereal Ritual, ' and though Dr. Budge vehemently controverts that title, his objections are urged with. more warmth than force.

This volume explores this legacy in North America, Europe, and India, demonstrating its impact on the conceptualization of “religion” and its influence on methods of comparison. Unveiling overlooked entanglements, the volume challenges standard narratives in the history of religious studies and interrogates the deliberate neglect of theosophy’s influence in the “secular” academy. In doing so, the work confronts lingering ghosts, urging a reappraisal that enriches the study of religion and offers prescriptions for its future.
