Work of the Mystic Seven had its origin in a rather unique manner as might be inferred from its perusal. It may not be amiss, therefore, to give a history of the growth and development of the ideas which finally led to its completion. In the first place the life and training of the author had much to do with it as it had also much to do with leading him to a possession of those facts which all ages have counted a priceless heritage never to be revealed. It may be here stated that much can never be revealed and never should be, except to those minds that have proved themselves worthy by the strictest tests, as for example, the interpretations of esoteric writings.
