Franz Hartmann

If I dare to give in to the urging of many friends and continue writing in my "Notable Memories" about things I would rather have kept to myself, it is certainly not to make some sceptics believe in the existence of Adepts. Least of all, do I want to try and "prove" anything to anyone. As so many wrong opinions have reached the public, it is my intention to shine a light on things to help bring those who want to know the truth and not only satisfy mere curiosity, onto the right path. F. Hartmann.

In compiling the following pages, I have, to a great extent, followed the plan adopted by A. Lasson in his work on "Meister Eckhart," but this book is not a translation of the latter, nor is it intended to deal exclusively with Eckhart's views. Its purpose is to be a guiding light for the comprehension of the mysteries of the Christian religion, and if, in the representation of occult truth, I draw upon Eckhart's writings more liberally than upon those of any other mystic, it is because he seems to exceed all others in the profundity of knowledge and in that clearness of expression which gained for him the title of a Master in the knowledge of Christ.

Hartmann, claims we live in a "soulless and soul-destroying time," in which people chase fleeting dreams and are driven by their impulses, desires and the urge to satisfy themselves, instead of pursuing the knowledge of the eternal, without exploring their inner selves, without devoting every breath to the awakening of true self-consciousness.

This vintage book contains a fascinating treatise on the subject of magic by Franz Hartmann (1838 - 1912), who was a German theosophist, doctor, geomancer, occultist, writer, and astrologer. In this volume, Hartmann maintains that 'magic' is not a supernatural concept outside of the realms of science or nature, but that it is the undeniable force behind all things responsible for the growing of a seed into a tree or a child into a man. This fascinating volume will appeal to those with an interest in magic or the occult, and it would make for a worthy addition to allied collections. Contents include: "Description Of The Frontispiece", "Preface To The Third Edition", "Preface", "Preface To The Sixth Edition", "Preface To", "The Seventh Edition", "Introduction the Ideal", "The Real and the Unreal", "Form", "Life", "Harmony", "Illusion", "Consciousness", "Death", "Transformations", "Creation", "Light", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Franz Hartmann was a German medical doctor, theosophist, freemason, occultist, geomancer, astrologer, and prolific esoteric author. Here he writes about the Self. He who refuses to seek for the light within himself will not find the true light anywhere in externals, and will continue to dwell in his darkness. He who finds truth within himself will also recognize the spirit of truth throughout all nature; for it is the spirit of truth in him who recognizes itself in everything.
