The Golden Verses of Pythagoras, by Fabre d'Olivet. An interesting study of the exoteric doctrines of this Master.
The Divine Pymander, by Hermes Trismegistus. Invaluable as bearing on the Gnostic Philosophy.
The Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians, reprint of Franz Hartmann. An invaluable compendium.

philosophy, as of prose.
The object of this course of reading is to familiarize
the student with all that has been said by the Great Masters in every time
and country. He should make a critical examination of them; not so
much with the idea of discovering where truth lies, for he cannot do this
except by virtue of his own spiritual experience, but rather to discover
the essential harmony in those varied works. He should be on his
guard against partisanship with a favourite author. He should familiarize
himself thoroughly with the method of mental equilibrium, endeavouring
to contradict any statement soever, although it may be apparently axiomatic.
The general object of this course, besides that already
stated, is to assure sound education in occult matters, so that when spiritual
illumination comes it may find a well-built temple. Where the mind
is strongly biased towards any special theory, the result of an illumination
is often to inflame that portion of the mind which is thus overdeveloped,
with the result that the aspirant, instead of becoming an Adept, becomes
a bigot and fanatic. {211}
The A.'. A.'. does not offer examination in this course,
but recommends these books as the foundation of a library.
SECTION 2. --- Other books, principally fiction, of a generally
suggestive and helpful kind:
Zanoni, by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. Valuable for its facts and suggestions about Mysticism.

The Golden Ass, by Apuleius. Valuable for those who have wit to understand it.
Le Comte de Gabalis. Valuable for its hints of those things which it mocks.
