An Inspirat ion

to al l

Thinkers

By H. Spencer Lewis, Ph. D., F. R. C.World Traveller, Lecturer, and Imperator for 7s[orth America of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood;

A uthor of “A Thousand Years of Y esterdays," “M ansions of the Soid," etc.

“Dr. Lewis made a special tour through Rome and the Holy Places of

Palestine and Egypt under the auspices of the secret schools whose archives contain the ancient records of the real life of Jesús. Dr. Lewis presents in this book

the facts which he contacted, and describes evidences which he and his party of in-

vestigators actually saw. Here are living, vibrating surprises for eve^one^



Do You Kno\The Essene Brotherhood

Have you ever been puzxled, like millions

of others, about the references in Christian

writings to the mysterious Essene Brothep

hood? Do you know that this semi-religious

and mystical organisation was the largest

and strongest body of spiritual workers in

the world? Do you know that Jesús was a

member of this organization and that the

records kept by the organi^ation give us a

complete account of the youth of Jesús and

the incidents of His birth, life, crucifixión,

and resurrection by eye witnesses? Until

you read about the Essenes and learn that

disciples of Jesús were members of that or'

ganization and how they controlled many

situations in Palestine, you will never know

the real story of the life of Jesús.

T h e Cruci f i x ión

Do you know that there are several ac'

counts of the crucifixión of Jesús as re'

corded by eye witnesses and by members

of His staff of disciples, which no longer

appear in Christian records? Do you

know that these true accounts of the cruci'

fixion were originally a part of the teachingsof the early Christian church and were set

aside in the later centuries by a few men,

who attempted to rearrange the story,

which now appears in Christian records?

Do you know that the real story of the

crucifixión reveáis why He was crucified,

and who actually crucified Him, and why

it was He did not actually die upon the

cross? Th is incident in His life when

properly understood makes us appreciatethe high place that Jesús had in the world

as the Christ and the Saviour.

T h e Unknow n L i f e

Do you know that after the Ascensión

Jesús continued to meet in secrecy with His

Apostles and instructed them in the founda'

tion of the early Christine movement? Do

you know that even statements in the au-

thorised versión of the Christian Bible sub'

stantiate the statements found in the other

records of the Orient in this regard? Do you

know that Jesús lived for many years after

the Ascensión and conducted a work not

explained in Christian records but known

to the early church Fathers and verified in

many records that are undeniable and abso'

lutely authentic? This period of His life is

filled with mystical, spiritual information

for every student of the higher mysteries.

Not an A t t ack

This book is not an attack upon the

Christian doctrines or an attack upon the

authorized Christian versions of the life of

Jesús. Jesús is made more understandable,

more lovable, and more easily acceptable asthe great and greatest son of God and Re'

deemer of mankind. Gentile and Jew, R o'man Catholic and Protestant will find in

this book that which will help them in theirspiritual and religious beliefs.

T h e You t h of Jesús

Do you know that incidents of the life of

Jesús from His birth to His thirtieth year

were accurately recorded and have been

preserved in Oriental records for many cen'

turies? Do you know that these records tell

us a marvelous, beautiful, mystery story of

Him that does not detract from His di vi'nity or His divine sonship, but makes Hislife a marvel of power and goodness?

onceptionDo yon know that there is an explana'

on for the so'called miraculous birth which

as accepted by the followers of the early

hristian church and which is understood

y all the mystics and masters of the Far

ast and the Orient? The story of the con'

ption of Jesús as presented in the Chris'

an Gospel is not complete and in the real

ory taken from actual records the mystery

made understandable by references to

her mystic incidents in the lives of greatvatars and Sons of God preceding Jesús.

he astounding facts fascínate and give the

ader a better idea of the mystery than any

esentation given heretofore.

T h e Prepa ra t i on

of Jesús Do you know that Jesús carefully pre"

pared himself for His great Mission in life

and underwent more tests and triáis than

the Christian Bible records? Do you know

that in the incidents of these preparations

we find an explanation of His parable and

all His miracles, and of the foundation

stone which He laid for the ultímate

building of the Christian church and other

spiritual movements? Th is story of His life

will be a revelation to students of mysticism

and occultism as well as students of Chris'

tian theology.

Previ ous W ork

of Jesús

Do you know that Jesús accomplished

great miracles and marvelous things for

mankind in another period of His life not

recorded in the authorized versión of His

life? Do you know that the records hitherto

unpublished tell a story of His accomplish'ments, which enable every spiritual student

to discover the key to salvation, and the kev

to Cosmic power and spiritual mastership?

Secret D oct r i nes

Do you know what the secret doctrines

are that Jesús taught to His disciples and

Apostles, and which were left out of the

authorized versión of the Christian Bible

because they had no place in that great

book? Do you know that these doctrinesenabled Jesús and His Apostles to accomp-

lish marvelous things and that you will find

in them methods and processes for bringing

about wonderful changes in your own life?

T h e Rea l P lace

o f Bi r t h Do you know that Jesús was not born

in a manger in Bethlehem? Statements from

the authorized versión of the Bible contain

contradictions in this regard and the ancient

records show why the writers of some of

the Gospels seem to contradict each other

in regard to the place of birth?

T h e Resurr ect i on

Do you know that Jesús actually rosefrom the tomb healed of his wounds, and

ready again to carry on His mission with

His Apostles and disciples in secrecy? Do

you know that the real story of the Resur'

rection is one that is easily acceptable, be"

cause it is so astonishingly in conformity

with natural law and spiritual law that

there is no mystery about it at all? And do

you know that the Ascensión into Heaven

has an explanation that contains no mys'

tery, no miracle, and no improbability?

T h e Fat hers of Jesús

Do you know that there were a great

number of Av atars and Sons of G od born in

various parts of the world preceding the

birth of Jesús? Do you know that many of

these were worshipped by millions of people

as Divine Messengers and recognized as

Messiahs?

None of these were as great as Jesús but

because they helped to develop the religión

taught by Jesús, they arecalled the “Fathersof Jesús" in all sacred literature. Unless

you are acquainted with the work that

these great men accomplished, you cannot

understand the real life of Jesús.
