We are safe in saying that "Within The Temple of Isis" is unique andstands alone. There is no other book in print like it, and ifSolomon of old had not said, "There is nothing new under the sun,"we would be inclined to contradict him.
"Within the Temple of Isis" God's word was law as interpreted by hisHierophants; their oneness with the fountain of Being made themconscious of Nature's secret operations, and enabled them, as itdoes the wise ones of to-day, to enter the Temple of Isis andobserve the hidden mysteries concealed behind the veil.
Purity of motive and sincerity of purpose brought its own reward tothem of old as it does to those of to-day who purify themselvesbefore seeking for the knowledge and wisdom hidden within the "Holyof Holies"—"The Temple of Isis."
Isis means Mother of all, while Osiris means Father of all.
The Temple of Two Truths as matter and spirit must be realizedwithin.
The Polar Opposites are those of sex dually expressed as two polesof one law or principle as taught by Hermetic Philosophy before thelaw of polarization of spirit into matter, and matter back intospirit, can be understood.
The Alchemist and the Astrologer, alike, possess this wisdom, and itwas this knowledge that made the Priests Kings of Egypt, so justlyfamous as Magicians or Wise Men.
They still exist in spirit realms and can transmit to this plane ofearth their wisdom, that would make earth a veritable paradise ifonly the race could be made to realize its magical powers.
Scientific inventions of great moment to the race are thus projectedto the earth, and spiritual Adepts in occult laws will again revivethe "Wisdom Religion" upon earth in all its beauty and grandeur asthe western race becomes fitted intellectually and spiritually toreceive it.
Nature ever repeats herself in cycles of time on the spiritual andmental, as well as the physical planes of life.
End, there is none. Time and eternity are the ever-present Now, sofar as the spirit is concerned. Therefore, the readers of thisstrange occult book will some day realize its truths as realities ofnatural law on the spiritual planes of life. It is a clear,practical statement of Soul Marriage and of Soul Transfer from oneearthly temple to that of another.
Nature's laws are ever the same; therefore, the same experiencesherein narrated are applicable to Neophytes seeking soul initiationto-day as they were in the days of The Temple of Isis, and if theveil of Isis could be raised for one single moment the world wouldbe startled by the mysterious revelations disclosed.
To the Seers and the Occult Initiates alike, this book will appealwith magical force. Its truths are those of the soul and spirit, andcan await the reader's sou
