The Key to the Universe - Or a Spiritual Interpretation of Numbers and Symbols #233128

<i>The Key to the Universe</i> is a fascinating text exploring spirituality and mysticism through the eyes of Harriette Augusta Curtiss. Any readers familiar with Curtiss will be reminded of her involvement with the Order of Christian Mystics and the themes of her earlier works including: "Gems of Mysticism," and "Letters from the Teacher." This book presents a valiant combined effort between Curtiss and her husband to bring spiritual truth, as they see it, to the forefront of religious texts.<br><br>To Curtiss, the suffering of the world-- a deep famine of the word of God and a distinct lack of True Believers-- is proof that the world is demanding a new, authoritative text on religious belief and practice. With this text, Curtiss aims to fill this void and provides the reader with a succinct guide to a range of mystical symbols in the world around them, including the mystical significance of numbers and shapes. She shares with the reader that during a particularly dark period, when she herself endured an episode of "soul hunger" she found guidance in symbols around her and hopes that this book will guide others who feel similarly that their lives and their spirituality are lacking in ways they cannot explain. In this book, Curtiss hopes to explore some of life's bigger questions and provide real answers with mysticism, symbolism, and a deep dedication to spirituality.<br><br><i>The Key to the Universe</i> is crafted with an elegance and focus unmatched in Harriette Augusta Curtiss' previous works. This text is an interesting read for anyone interested in specific symbols, numbers, and shapes, and their hidden meanings. Furthermore, this book stands out as a wonderful guide for students of mysticism and practitioners of this very distinct form of spirituality.
