A Note from the Amanuensis

The foregoing lessons show some signs of repetition, but this is because the writer of the notes from which the lessons were copied never dreamed that these would be literally copied. As the notes were made from memory, the student will realize what an extraordinary thing was accomplished by the student who jotted them down.

The amanuensis of this Course has found this to be one of the most clear, interesting and truly illuminating Course on Metaphysical Truth which it has been her privilege to study. The reader will note that some errors and mistakes have occured which seemed well-nigh impossible to keep out, but on the whole, it is quite easily read and digested, and anyone giving this Course a fair chance by reading and meditating upon it will undoubtedly be lead into seeing the truths of existence in a manner which no doubt had never (occurred) occurred to the reader before. There are Ten Lessons in Each Course. First Course is called the Basic Course, and the Second Course is called the Genesis Course as it is the interpretation of the First and Second chapters of Genesis.

In reading these lessons, keep this thought in Mind: “There is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth him understanding.”

Cordially yours.
THE AMANUENSIS.
