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

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 interpretation of these Divine symbols。 And； as
thorough students of any language seek out the derivation of words and
expressions； search for the root； or stem word； and its origin； so should the
student of astrology； by sincere desire and earnest study； seek to know the
origin and root of these starry words and complex expressions of the
〃language of the stars。〃
The Sun； Moon and five planets＇*＇ of our solar system are to us
symbols of the reflected and refracted rays of the triune attributes of the
great Central； Spiritual Sun： Life； Light and Love； analogous to the three
primary colors in Nature； which become still further refracted into four
secondary or complementary colors； rays or attributes； the seven
constituting the active principles of Nature； the seven rays of the solar
spectrum； the seven notes of a perfect musical scale； there being
throughout a perfect correspondence； and all are but different modes of
vibration or activities of the Supreme Intelligence。
＇*＇ Uranus and Neptune belonging to a higher octave。
And； as we know； the seven rays of color reflect an almost infinite
variety of tints； that； octave upon octave； are built upon the seven natural
tones in music； so； also； are these seven active principles divided and
