A WORD OF EXPLANATION.
The .questions contained in this book have been asked of .the writer after lectures delivered by, .him in various cities, and,. in. mo$t cases, ;th.e questions reveal a certain knowledge of., the subject on the, part of , the inquirer.
For, the benefit of, those who are not Jamiliar with The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, it may be well to give the following information concerning the, philosophy and the terms used. With that, key, it , will ,. be ea.sy for anyone to understand the answers to the questions. It may also be in place to state at this point that each question has been answered regardless of what has been said in answer to any other question, so that each answer is complete in itself. This has occasioned repetition of some things said in answer to one question when replying to another which is similar, but it will be found that in all cases where there is such repetition it presents a new aspect of the subject, so that the writer has no apology to make, for he considers the method used of greater value than a reference to some other answer which perhaps the inquirer might not have time to look up.
The Rosicrucian Philosophy teaches that man is a com- plex being who possesses :
(1) A Dense Body, which is the visible instrument he uses here in this world to fetch and carry; the body we ordinarily think of as the whole man.
(2) A Vital Body, which is made of Ether and per- vades the visible body as ether permeates all other forms,

except that human beings specialize a greater amount of the universal ether than other forms. That ethereal body is our instrument for specializing the vital energy of the sun.
(3) A Desire Body, which is our emotional nature. This finer vehicle pervades both the vital and dense bodies. It is seen by clairvoyant vision to extend about 16 inches tfutside our visible body, which is located in the center of this ovoid cloud as the yolk is In the center of an egg.
(4) The Mind, which is a mirror, reflecting the outer world and enabling the Ego to transmit its commands as thought and word, also to compel action.
The Ego is the threefold spirit which uses these vehicles to gather 'experience in the school of life.
