the Work of the Secret Schools

"The work of the Secret Schools is twofold, with a third definite purpose in view. The methods were designed to bring about bodily perfection by developing, strengthening and purifying every organ of the body and every faculty of the mind, thereby establishing health and assuring longevity; also to develop the psychic mind, nervous system and the mysterious ductless glands, so that spirituality and great occult powers could be assured the Acolyte. While these achievements were of immense value and great desirability, the third and ultimate object was still more so, namely, the awakening and enlightening of the Soul, bringing it to the consciousness of its own Immortality and establishing a link between itself and the Supreme or Cosmic Soul."
