"Among the figures occupying a prominent place in modern occultism is the so-called ascended master St. Germain. Much has been told, and a, greater amount surmised about this mysterious being - mysterious because the average student of occultism has had no opportunity to examine the records which give all that is actually known about this curious personage."
"This message will be a revelation of great importance to every American interested in the ideals, hopes and aspirations of the founders of the United states. It will be found especially interesting to those who have wondered about the outcome of the present world conditions and the future of the American people.
To say that the early American founders did not dream of establishing a republic that would endure and eventually grow into the ideal state of the Golden Rule would not do them justice nor would it display an understanding of human nature."
"In the ancient wisdom teachings of the East a great deal is taught concerning man and the laws that motivate his being... In the relationship to life the most important of those laws are grouped under those headings: 'Fate, Heredity, Reincarnation and Karma' It is true that many persons confuse fate and karma so we will speak of those two and their relationship first."
"One of the most important of the teachings of occultism has been that concerning the pineal eye, important because with the mastery of that center in the body there comes a development of what are ordinarily called supernormal or supernatural powers."
"I am going to try to tell you exactly how magnetic energy manifests in the human body and the effect that it has on your health, your mental attitude and the affairs of your life and environment, and, also, its relationship to what is sometimes called the human aura."
"When the average person hears such a subject announced they naturally think that there is going to be a discussion of some mental or psychological power which will enable the individual to gain dominion, mental or otherwise over their fellowman, because it is an absolute fact that the majority of persons, regardless of the degree of society that they are living in, have at the back of their mind the desire to gain power so that they are able to control the action of others."
"From the original English translator of The Emerald Tablets of Thoth! Lost esoteric writings on the metaphysical wisdom and occult history behind the pineal gland - or as it is more frequently known: 'the Third Eye'. Author Doreal reminds us that Christ called it the 'Single Eye', and at one time - eons before Old Testament events, when Earth was still shrouded in mists - it was more prominent in man's physiology. However: that's not to say it has vanished, or even ceased to function completely..."
"I have a subject to discuss that has aroused almost as much controversy as any other subject under the sun except religion; nothing can compare to that; That is, 'Atlantis and Lemuria.'"
"Hermeticism or Hermetism is a philosophical system based on the purported teachings of Hermes Trismegistus (a legendary Hellenistic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth). These teachings are contained in the various writings attributed to Hermes (the Hermetica), which were produced over a period spanning many centuries (c. 300 BCE — 1200 CE) and may be very different in content and scope.
The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of 17 Greek writings whose authorship is traditionally attributed to the legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. The treatises were originally written between c. 100 and c. 300 CE, but the collection as known today was first compiled by medieval Byzantine editors. It was translated into Latin in the 15th century by the Italian humanist scholars Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) and Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500).
The Kybalion is a book originally published in 1908 by 'Three Initiates' (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932) that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus.
While it shares with ancient and medieval Hermetic texts a number of traits such as philosophical mentalism, the concept of 'as above, so below', and the idea that everything consists of gendered polar opposites, as a whole it is more indebted to the ideas of modern occultist authors, especially those of the New Thought movement to which Atkinson belonged. A modern Hermetic tract, it has been widely influential in New Age circles since the twentieth century.

"Those who have delved deeply into Biblical lore know that the sayings which we have in our Christian Bible, in English translations, comprise only a very small part of the true teachings of Jesus. We know. also, that Jesus taught two separate, and distinct teachings; that is, he taught one teaching to the great mass of people, and another teaching to those who were able to understand. We have evidence of this in the gospel of Matthew, where the disciples, questioning Jesus because he taught the people in one manner, and themselves in another, received this answer: 'Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven."
"The history of the Emerald Tablets is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years B.C. The author is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King who founded a colony in ancient Egypt, wrote the Emerald Tablets in his native Atlantean language which was translated by Dr. Michael Doreal. This edition of the Emerald Tablets is unique in that it includes both the translation and interpretation by Dr. Doreal. Because of the tablet's reference to the Egypt and sacred geometry they became a priority reference for those studying the Flower of Life and the Merkaba meditation."
