The mystic title of the celebrated Hermetic fragment with which this volume commences, "Kor Kosmou" that is, the "Kosmic Virgin," is in itself a revelation of the wonderful identity subsisting between the ancient wisdom-religion of the old world, and the creed of catholic Christendom. Kor is the name by which, in the Eleusinian Mysteries, Persephone the Daughter, or Maiden, was saluted; and it is also-perhaps only by coincidence-the Greek word for the pupil or apple of the eye. When, however, we find Isis, the Moon-goddess and Initiatrix, in her discourse with Horos, mystically identifying the eye with the soul, and comparing the tunics of the physical organ of vision with the envelopes of the soul; when, moreover, we reflect that precisely as the eye, by means of its pupil, is the enlightener and percipient of the body, so is the soul the illuminating and seeing principle of man, we can hardly regard this analogy of names as wholly unintentional and uninstructive. For Kor , or Persephone, the Maiden, is the personified soul, whose "apostasy," or "descent," from the heavenly sphere into earthly generation, is the theme of the following Hermetic parable.

The Story of the New Gospel of Interpretation is a book written by Edward Maitland. The book is a historical account of the development of the New Gospel of Interpretation, a spiritual movement that emerged in the late 19th century. Maitland traces the origins of the movement to the teachings of the mystic and philosopher Jacob Boehme, who lived in Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. He then explores the influence of Boehme's ideas on a number of thinkers and writers, including Emanuel Swedenborg, William Law, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book also describes the role of the Theosophical Society in the development of the New Gospel of Interpretation, and the contributions of key figures such as Helena Blavatsky and Annie Besant. Maitland also discusses the impact of the movement on the Christian church, and the controversies that arose as a result of its teachings. Overall, The Story of the New Gospel of Interpretation offers a fascinating insight into a little-known spiritual movement that had a significant impact on the development of modern spirituality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion and spirituality. This Is A New Release Of The Original 1893 Edition.
