The Initiation of the World

This book was published in 1973, and is an outline of the secret wisdom of the divine plan. Vera Stanley Alder uses her rare gift for condensing and synthesizing the essentials of esoteric teachings to reveal the many aspects of Ancient Wisdom and its relationship to present-day scientific knowledge. What makes this classic work so popular is Alder's simple and unintimidating presentation of the various forms of personal initiation. According to Alder, we each hold the key to Ancient Wisdom if we open ourselves to recognize the universal knowledge that resides within. This book is a guide to the conscious realization of the wholeness of life as we evolve throughout a lifetime.

Theosophy students will enjoy this one. Also available by this author is "From the Mundane to the Magnificent."

Vera Dorothea Stanley Alder (October 1898 - May 1984) was a portrait painter and mystic. She wrote several books and pamphlets on self-help and spirituality, founding the World Guardian Fellowship.
