Meditation and aspiration will open up hidden treasures that will prove a
boon to Occult students； for Astrology and Alchemy are the two grand
sciences that explain the why and reasons for what we see and experience
on every plane of life。 In this age there should be no concealing of these
Divine truths。 We cannot hide anything in the air； and for this reason the
Sun in Aquarius will unearth and reveal to man all that the present cycle

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
has to give during the Sun's passage through this airy sign。
The watery sign； Pisces； through which the Sun manifested during the
past 2；160 years； gave up to man their secret powers and hidden attributes
in steam as a motive power； which man has completely mastered。 He will
likewise master the airy forces during the present sub…cycle of the Sun in
Aquarius。 Already we see him using liquid air and compressed air as a
motive power； which will gradually take the place of steam as the Sun gets
farther into the sign； or constellation； of Aquarius。 Men will become
immensely wiser than they have been； and it is to be hoped they will leave
the written record of their achievements in science and art to show to
future races their status of mind on every subject for the edification and
enlightenment of coming races。
Our ancestors were denied this great privilege。 Consequently their
wisdom is only symbolized to us in a way that it is difficult to read and
interpret correctly； yet we who have the key to their symbols can read
accurately the truth they wish to convey； which stands out clearly to all
capable of understanding and interpreting symbolism and correspondence
correctly。 History and Nature repeat themselves in every cycle of time；
therefore these forces and potentialities are natural to the sign through
which the Sun manifests。 We can go backward or forward through the
Sun's Zodiac and read correctly the history of the hoary past； as well as the
present and future； by bearing in mind the sign and cycle in manifestation
at any given period。 When the proper time arrives； a work will be given to
the world to prove to mankind the law of cycles。
God is present in all ages and races； manifesting His love and wisdom
throughout infinite creations； and that He records； in His own way； the
most detailed record of any event which takes place； thus giving to man a
complete history of His works and will； for man's enlightenment； so that
he； too； may cooperate intelligently with his God in every way that
intelligence wills to manifest。 Prehistoric history is not blotted out from
Nature's laboratory。 The Astral Book of Karmic evolution will one day
reveal its hidden treasures to a waiting world in such a manner as to
surprise and enlighten mankind as the recording angels give up those gems
of truth they have so jealously guarded for untold cycles of time； simply
7

because the time was not ripe for its divulgence。
There is a time for everything； and when that time arrives all past
history of our planet's evolution will be written in an intelligent manner
for the illumination and education of man as the masterpiece of the Living
God。 In this way man will worship Deity and perfect his God…nature； even
to Angel…hood。
If this volume of 〃The Light of Egypt〃 meets with the same
appreciation that was accorded the first volume； which has passed through
four editions； and is still growing in favor every day （besides being
translated into the French）； the author will feel that his efforts have not
been wasted； and he trusts the race will have been made better for having
read his writings。
As this is his posthumous contribution to the world； the author wishes；
in this connection； to pay a debt of gratitude and grateful recognition to his
esteemed pupil and friend； Dr。 Henry Wagner； who has so generously
published nearly all of his writings。 Without his aid and assistance we
would not have been able； of ourselves； to have given these works to the
world。 Therefore； honor to whom honor is due。
Mrs。 Belle M。 Wagner has been chosen by the Masters as my spiritual
successor and representative of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor； and
thus perpetuate the chain of outward connection between those in the
realm of the higher life with those upon the outward plane。
She is our choice； and a most worthy one to take my place。
I make this statement in this connection for the benefit of my pupils
and Hermetic students generally； as I am being personated by frauds and
imposters； claiming to be Zanoni。 Verbam sap。
It is my request that a fac…simile of my signature and symbol
accompany this preface。
Dictated by the author from the subjective plane of life （to which he
ascended several years ago） through the law of mental transfer； well
known to all Occultists； he is enabled again to speak with those who are
still upon the objective plane of life。
The additions found in this volume； not in the original manuscripts；
have been supplied in this manner。 The two planes of life； the objective

and subjective； are scientific facts； no longer disputed by well…informed
minds； and the exchange of thought will become almost universal among
educated minds during the present cycle。 Hence great progress will come
to the Earth during the next 2；160 years； while the Sun manifests his
glorious influence through the symbol of the Man。
Thanking each and all who have aided in any way to give my writings
to the world； I am； in love and fraternal greetings； ever yours。 Omnia
Vincit Veritas。

THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
INTRODUCTION TO VOL。 II
What study is more sublime； inspiring and profitable； in the highest
sense； than the 〃language of the stars〃those silent monitors of the
midnight sky； who reveal HIS WILL as secondary causes in the
administration of universal law？ The science of the stars is the Divine
parent of all science。
The more earnest our study； the more recondite our research and
thorough our investigation of the 〃Science of the Stars；〃 the more fully
shall we realize the truth of the teacher's words： 〃Astrology is the key that
opens the door to all occult knowledge。〃 It is the key that unlocks the
mysteries of man's being； his why； whence； whither。 Within the temple of
Urania lies concealed the mystery of life。 The indices are there； written by
the finger of the Infinite in the heavens above。
It is our privilege to make this language our own； and it should be the
earnest work of every true student of Nature to acquire a right
understanding and correct inter
