Fiction is an ideal vehicle for the communication of occult principle. Communicated in the form of a “story”, occult principle is more likely to slip past the sentinel of self-consciousness and find its way into the rich garden of sub-consciousness. Within this fertile garden, true occult principle can take root and grow into the full blossom of ripe Understanding. Indeed, a properly constructed occult story may verge upon the mythical and serve to bring the reader to Mysteries unapproachable by intellect. It is not a stretch to suggest that such a properly constructed story may lead to a type of Initiation. Such a story written with carefully chosen images may allow the reader to participate in certain Mysteries just like a candidate undergoing an effective Dramatic Ritual. The following stories written by Dr. Paul A. Clark are most entertaining and shed light upon a number of occult principles. In the tradition of Dion Fortune’s “The Secrets of Dr. Taverner”, Paul embodies little-known aspects of occult psychology in the form of fiction. Dion Fortune claimed that she used fiction to publish such aspects because if they were published as non-fiction “they would have no chance of hearing.” While reading these stories you may begin to feel like you really know some of the characters. This feeling may be due, in part, to Paul’s skilled use of character development; or it may be due, in part, to a realization that these characters have a life of their own; in any case, you are sure to be entertained. Enjoy!

There has always existed a system of teaching that has been sourced in the direct, personal experience of seekers dedicated to discovering the meaning of life. These adepts, both men and women of exceptional quality, are known as the "esoteric teachers." Through the ages, they have adopted and codified various means and methods of transmitting this knowledge, thus making their revelations and wisdom available to generations of aspirants. This is, for the present age of seekers, the purpose of this work. These teachings did not originate with the author. He is merely the scribe. In the west, one of the greatest vehicles for the transmission of this knowledge is the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The word Qabalah means, "tradition" and refers to the Esoteric Tradition. It is generally defined as the secret, mystical, magical, philosophical, and religious doctrines developed by ancient and medieval Jewish scholars as a means to interpret the spiritual teachings of the scriptures. The Hermetic Qabalah is a term used to designate that core system as it has been enriched by Neo-Platonic, Sufi, Hermetic, and Christian Mystical Sources. Qablah is more than a body of information. It is a method that trains the mind to think practically and relationally. Using this system, aspirants are able to awaken their consciousness and answer the ultimate questions as they relate to nature, God, the Universe, and the soul of man.

Quantum Physics asserts that everything in the Universe is energy – energy in motion!  Metaphysics has always stated that everything is consciousness. “The All is mind, the Universe is mental.” – The Kybalion[JO1] , p. 26 Initiates affirm that the point of creation is within.  More and more rapidly we see these viewpoints coincide, validating each other.  It is interesting to note that modern philosophies, such as “New Thought,” are confirming what Ageless Wisdom has always taught. These doctrines were once the province of the Mystery schools, available only to a carefully tested, select few and guarded by initiatic oaths. Today, we can harness these techniques to help us realize our full potential and achieve our destiny of enlightenment.  Properly used, these ancient disciplines and skills can help us to realize health, happiness and love. In this book we will explore the ultimate goal of the Mystery teachings.  We will discuss how consciousness works and how the Divine energy manifests differently at the several levels of the creative process.  We will compare the Qabalistic and Hermetic systems to modern sacred psychology. We will learn how to access the “Council Chamber of the Masters” and to receive the advice of our inner teacher.    [JO1]Citation required
