Through many lives the individual of course seeks to move upward towards Ishvara.

Realms of the Living Dead: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This interesting volume is one of the foremost titles crafted by Frank Homer Curtiss during his life. Husband to the Blavatsky-adjacent founder of the Order of Christian Mystics, his views here are an amalgamation of Theosophical, Gnostic, Rosicrucian, and Hermetic materials- indeed, there is an entire section of poetry written purportedly by natural spirits (gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines.) Allusions to Blavatsky and others are frequent. It goes well beyond its ostensible subject matter into social issues such as alcoholism (it considers alcohol to resonate at an astral frequency, causing danger to drinkers), the First World War (and how German aeronauts were essentially sinning with their development of aviation technology!) among other intriguing subtopics.
