The opinion of thousands is of great value, but it does not prove anything, for thousands may hold an opposite view; occasionally a single man may be right and the rest of the world wrong, as when Galileo maintained that the earth moves. Today the whole world has been converted to the opinion for which he suffered torture, and we assert that, _as man is a composite being, cures are successful only in proportion as they remedy defects on the physical, moral and mental planes of Being_. We also maintain that results may be obtained more easily at certain times when stellar rays are propitious to healing of a particular disease, or by treatment with remedies previously prepared under auspicious conditions. If you are a parent the horoscope will aid you to detect the evil latent in your child and teach you how to apply the ounce of prevention. It will show you the good points also, that you may make a better man or woman of the soul entrusted to your care. It will reveal systemic weakness and enable you to guard the health of your child; it will show what talents are there, and how the life may be lived to a maximum of usefulness. Therefore, the message of the marching orbs is so important that you cannot afford to remain ignorant thereof. In order to aid those who are willing to help themselves we maintain a Correspondence Class in Astrology, but make no mistake, we do not teach fortune-telling; if that is what you are looking for, we have nothing for you. OUR LESSONS ARE SERMONS They embody the highest moral and spiritual principles, together with the loftiest system of ethics, for Astrology is, to us, a phase of religion; we never look at a horoscope without feeling that we are in a holy presence, face to face with an immortal soul, and our attitude is one of prayer for light to guide that soul aright. WE DO NOT CAST HOROSCOPES Despite all we can say, many people write enclosing money for horoscopes, forcing us to spend valuable time writing letters of refusal and giving us the trouble of returning their money. Please do not thus annoy us; it will avail you nothing. THE COURSE IN CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM _Christ_ taught the multitude in _parables_, but explained the _mysteries_ to His disciples. _Paul gave milk_ to the babes, but _meat_ to the strong. Max Heindel, the founder and leader of the Rosicrucian Fellowship, endeavored to follow in their steps and give to interested and devoted students a _deeper teaching_ than that promulgated in public. For that purpose we conduct a correspondence course in _Christian Mysticism_. The General Secretary may admit applicants to the preliminary course, but _advancement_ in the deeper degrees depends upon merit. It is for those alone who have been _tried_, and found true.
