Initiation of the World By Vera Stanley Alder

The Initiation of the World presents Vera Stanley Alder’s synthesis of esoteric teachings on personal initiation and spiritual development. She approaches ancient wisdom as something readers can explore through awareness of their own inner life and their relationship to a larger whole.

Alder connects her account of a divine plan with the scientific ideas of her time and describes different forms of initiation in accessible terms. This is a work of esoteric philosophy and spiritual interpretation, not a contemporary scientific textbook or a guarantee of supernatural knowledge.
