The Cosmic Dion Fortune +++

I have read and studied a number of works by Dion Fortune of the Western Esoteric Tradition -- such as her excellent classic "The Mystical Qabalah" -- which could serve as a good anchor-and-check for "The Cosmic Doctrine". Of all the ones she authored this one certainly is in a singular class all-by-itself. Of course, she states that "The Cosmic Doctrine" is a recieved doctrine -- not just authored by her. So, it does makes some sense that it is quite difficult to make more than just some sense of it. It seems amazing that one can even make some sense of "The Cosmic Doctrine" from the start. Indeed, one can -- via some sustained study and reflection. Like the finest mystical prose, poetry, music and art -- "The Cosmic Doctrine" seems to evoke never-ending on-going Inspiration -- in a Forceful Symbolist way. Old and new ideas and ideals seem to radiate deeply from it -- but, only after one has concentrated substantial contemplation over some time upon "The Cosmic Doctrine" +++

a dynamic view on evolution and species

Dion Fortune should have lived nowadays. For it is in this century we begin to percieve evolution as a dynamic loop in the sense of: what is new falls on old, en therefore you get a mix. Always the same law of evolution: new falls on old, and then? Fascinating....................

Perhaps the most important book of occultism ever written.

Fortune's _Cosmic Doctrine_ is among the most important works of modern spiritual literature. Yes, it's difficult - like a koan. Yes, it's dense - like the Vedas. But it yields more useful information than any other book of its size. Fortune "received" the communication of the doctrine from an ascended master, and set it down pretty much as received. It helps if you have some understanding of Magick, Qaballah and the essential esoteric traditions. But even if you don't, study of it will still yield enormous results.
