The Story of Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland and of the new Gospel of Interpretation
Maitland, Edward
Kingsford, Anna Bonus, 1846-1888; Mysticism
By which it will be seen that he shared Cardinal Newman's expectation
referred to in the introduction; and accepted as realised the forecast
of Joseph de Maistre when he said "Religion and Science, in virtue of
their natural affinity, will meet in the brain of some man of
genius--perhaps of more than one--and the world will get what it needs
and cries for, _not a new religion, but the revelation of Revelation_."
As the event shows, for "the brain of some man," he should have said
"the mind and soul of a woman."
The Rev. Dr. John Pulsford, author of "The Supremacy of Man," "Quiet
Hours," "Morgenrothe," and other works distinguished for the depth of
their piety and insight, thus wrote to me on the publication of "Clothed
with the Sun"--
"I cannot tell you with what thankfulness and pleasure I have read
_Clothed with the Sun_. It is impossible for a spiritually
intelligent reader to doubt that these teachings were received from
_within_ the astral veil. They are full of the concentrated and
compact wisdom of the Holy Heavens and of God. If Christians knew
their own religion, they would find in these priceless records our
Lord Christ and His vital process abundantly illustrated and
confirmed. The regret is that so few, comparatively, who read the
book, will be aware of the tithe of its pearls. But that such
communications are possible, and are permitted to be given to the
world, is a sign, and a most promising sign of our age.
"It is no little joy to me to feel that I am so much more in
sympathy with God's daughter, the Seeress, than I supposed. The
testimony is so clearly above, and distinct from, aught that is
derived from the occult powers of the universe, rather than from
the Supreme Spirit and Father-Mother of our Spirits."
