Part 8 (2/2)

P. 20--”The sinking into the mire” spoken of by Plato must also be interpreted in the sense referred to in the last note.

P. 20--What is said about the impossibility of imparting the teaching of the Mysteries has reference to the fact that they could not be communicated to those unprepared in the same form in which the initiate experienced them; but they were always communicated to those outside in such a form as was possible for the uninitiated to understand. For instance the myths gave the old form, in order to communicate the content of the Mysteries in a way that was generally comprehensible.

P. 88--Everything that relates to knowledge gained through the ”eyes of the spirit” is called by ancient mysticism ”Mantik.”

”Telestik,” on the other hand, is the indication of the ways which lead to initiation.

P. 168--”Kabirs,” according to ancient mysticism, are beings with a consciousness far above the human consciousness of to-day.

Sch.e.l.ling means that man through initiation ascends to a state of consciousness above his present one.

P. 186--An explanation of the meaning of the number seven may be obtained in _An Outline of Occult Science_ (see advt., front page).

P. 187--The meanings of the Apocalyptic signs can only be given quite shortly here. Of course, all these things might be much more thoroughly explained, but of this the scope of this book does not allow.
