"The present text is addressed particularly to the millions who are truly seeking for the spirit which is hidden within religion. Generally, this spirit is not found in what is termed as "orthodox" teaching of the churches, and because this appeal is to a special class, we feel at liberty to express ourselves without reservation; interpreting the Divine Law as it has been taught to us." About the author: "Reuben Swinburne Clymer (November 25, 1878 - June 3, 1966) was an American occultist and modern Rosicrucian Supreme Grand Master of the FRC (Fraternitas Rosae Crucis), perhaps the oldest continuing Rosicrucian organization in the Americas. He practiced alternative medicine, and wrote and published works on it as well as (his version of) the teachings of Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875), alchemy, nutrition, religion, sex magic and spiritualism. This led to a number of conflicts with Harvey Spencer Lewis (1883-1939) and the AMORC (Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis), FUDOSI, Aleister Crowley, and even the American Medical Association." --Wikipedia.
