Dialogues on the Supersensual Life (180 pp)

Cockren, A.
Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored (154 pp)
"The object of this book is to place before the reader in language as simple as possible the story of alchemy.  Because the literature on this science has ever been an enigma to both the scientific and the lay mind, it is the earnest desire of the author to present it stripped of its symbolism, and to give some indication of its processes, its achievements, and its possibilities.  He wishes to show that this science is the Law operating behind all Manifestation in Man; Man that is in his entirety, physical, mental, and spiritual, and to demonstrate how it is bound up in the further evolution and unfoldment of the race, for without this understanding the vision of Man made perfect is impossible."  This is an excellent primer for anyone interested in alchemy.

Cooper-Oakley, Isabel
Masonry and Medieval Mysticism: Traces of a Hidden Tradition (1900) (192 pp)
In this book first published in 1900, Isabel Cooper Oakley has gathered together extensive source material in presenting this history of mysticism in Medieval Europe.  The survey covers some eighteen hundred years, and shows with documented evidence a definite link between the seemingly divergent occult schools and brotherhoods that flourished, and that the source of their knowledge lay in Ancient India, the home of Brahma Vidya or esoteric science.  Gradually over the years visiting seers and teachers brought this wisdom to Egypt, Persia and Greece, which was given expression in the great mystery schools and temples.  A vast tapestry of the spiritual life is unfolded before us, the Gnostic sects who founded Christianity, the famous occult schools of Averroes and the Arabian mystics in Toledo, the Alchemists and Rosicrucians, and the Grail Legend, preserved in times of religious persecution by the troubadours whose allegorical songs were a feature of the royal courts, and the Knights Templars who designed and built the Gothic cathedrals.

McIntyre, J. Lewis
Giordano Bruno (380 pp)
"This volume attempts to do justice to a philosopher who has hardly received the consideration he deserves.  He is recognized by the more liberal-minded among Italians as the greatest and most daring thinker their country has produced.  He has been recognized as the prophet, if not as the actual founder, of modern philosophy, and as one of the earliest apostles of freedom of thought and of speech in modern times."  Part I of the book covers the life of Bruno; Part II his philosophy.  Sources of the Philosophy; Foundations of Knowledge; Infinite Universe-The Mirror of God; Nature and the Living Worlds; The Last and the Least Things:  Atoms and Soul-Monads; Practical Philosophy of Bruno; Higher Life; Positive Religions and the Religion of Philosophy; Bruno in the History of Philosophy.

Doctrine of the Subtle Body in Western Tradition (114 pp)
"The notion that the physical body of man is as it were the exteriorization of an invisible subtle embodiment of the life of the mind is a very ancient belief.  It is however, the prevailing habit of skeptical rationalism of the present day to dismiss summarily all such beliefs of antiquity as the baseless dreams of a prescientific age, and to dump them all indiscriminately into the midden of exploded superstitions.  Not only do the acute intellects who upheld it in the past, dispose one to a favorable consideration of their plea; but I am persuaded that, the more deeply modern research penetrates into the more recondite regions of biology, psycho-physiology and psychology, the more readily will reason be inclined to welcome the notion as a fertile working hypothesis to co-ordinate a considerable number of the mental, vital and physical phenomena of human personality which otherwise remain on our hands as a confused and inexplicable conglomerate."  Contents: The Spirit-Body; The Radiant Body; The Resurrection-Body; Epilogue.
