The subject matter of this monograph must be understood by the reader or studentof same, not to be the official Rosicrucian teachings. These monographs constitute a seriesof supplementary studies provided by the Rosicrucian Order, A M O R C , both to mem-bers and non members, because they are not the secret, private teachings of the Order.The object of these supplementary monographs is to broaden the mind of the student bypresenting him with the writings, opinions, and dissertations of authorities in various fieldsof human enterprise and endeavor. Th erefo re, it is quite probable that the reader will noteat times in these supp leme ntary monograp hs statements made w hich are inconsistent withthe Rosicrucian teachings or view point. But with the realization that they are merelysupplementary and that the Rosicrucian Organization is not endorsing or condoning them,one must take them m erely for their prima facie value.
