TOWARDS THE LIGHTBy Princess Mary Karadja (written in 1899)Founder of The White Cross Union. Author of King Solomon, The Seven Sacraments, etc. The fate and redemption of a suicide told in inspiring blank verse. A noble message from the Great Beyond.This poem is a powerful meditation on the theme: "Whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap." Shows spiritually the futility of suicide. Just not an option. Most interesting expose on the after-life. Symbolical story of the initiate and the final ascension.The story is told in dramatic and moving language. There is a chain of circumstances powerfully described. The shortest stories often contain the most powerful messages. Indeed, this short prose-poem includes so much occult lore that a book can be written about it.Will appeal to the general reader as well as to the Metaphysician. Her Majesty Queen Alexandra has graciously intimated her pleasure in accepting a presentation copy. King Oscar of Sweden read it aloud at a reception in 1901. Mr. Stanford of California presented 500 copies to the free libraries of Australia. Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish and German editions have appeared in addition to the English edition.
