Life, to many, consists of the five
object ive senses o f man . W e are
permi t ted to know the ob ject ive,the material side of l ife through the
medium of the senses, of seeing,

To many , a l l that l i fe can af ford
is that which is confined within
the realism of these sense impres-
sions. Th e wor ld of color is those

magni tude of sound , to them, i s

sions which permit you to knowof the world outside yourself, you'
have that inner response or divine
intelligence that always permits youto know that you arc a separate
being. It is a self consciousness,
th e consciousness of self. This in-ner intelligence ever strives to aidyou even though you may be in-differen t to it. Your hunches, socalled, your ideas, your intuition,
or the popularly termed “sixthsense" which seems to look out foryour welfare, what is the origin of
them? Th ey germinated from anintelligence within, certainly notfrom the impressions received byyour brain or from your memory,
or reasoning processes.
Realize now that to get the ut-most out of life is to get the ut-
most OU T OF YO URSELF andwhen speaking of self remember
there is more to you than the phy-sical self even with its attributesor senses. Th ere is th at real inner

ocfoaooc*For a book of its size and price,
the fascinating volume entitled, “A
Thou sand Years of Yesterdays,” by
H. Spen cer Lewis, is un usual. Itis distinctive in the fact that it is
dual in natu re. First, it is a story,intriguing, has good continuity, car-
ries the reader along with out effort;
second, you are conscious that you
arc being taught important laws
and principles, that vital points
which you have been puzzled about
in the past are being explained toyou in a simple and interesting
manner.
Have you ever felt that youwould like to tear aside the veil of
the past and rediscover, so to speak,
the personalities of your past lives?
Have you wondered wh at you were
in some oth er incarnation? Have
you been puzzled with what causes
your u nusual feeling of pleasure or
of attraction toward strange things
that your heredity does not ex-plain?
This book treats with the doctrineof reincarnation, not in a technicalway, but in a new, pleasing, under-
standable manner. Those who havenever studied the principle of rein-
carnation will be surprised at therational presentation of the doc-trine as the characters of the story
live their lives again. It seems asthough it is the only answ er to the

THE SOUL
Although the Rosicrucian or-ganization is primarily not a heal-
ing organization, that is, its entire

bers of the Brotherhood for special
help in healing and for inspiration.The thoughts of these tcachers
and adepts are projected into the
Cosmic and there focalized, cre-
ating a Cathedral of the Soul—not an actual physical structure,
but an ethereal, spiritual cathedral
of constructive, helpful, creativethought—and you are invited to
avail yourself of the great bene-fit that can come to you through
these special periods of attunement.
Further interesting and helpfulliterature on just what the Cathed-ral of the Soul is, and the prac-
tical benefit that you can derivefrom it, may be secured by gettingin touch with the local chapter of
