These laws and principles, and the occult facts and data revealed in the book cannot be understood by idly browsing a few random pages, or jumping from chapter to chapter. During their journey they are gradually introduced to the true laws and principles of the Universe. In this story two Egyptian pilgrims, Ma-u and Ma-uti, are conducted through the higher and lower planes by Neteru-Hem, a Messenger from the Divine. It is for this reason that The Golden Star is written in the form of a story, the better to reach the heart of the sincere reader. Truth is apprehended in a flash by way of the Higher Self through inspiration and intuition, not by logical deduction and reasoning, though these mental attributes are needed too. The great Occult Truths cannot be apprehended intellectually, no matter how many simple words may be employed. By “intellectuals” we mean those who imagine (or expect) the laws and principles of Occult Science to be easily explained by means of simple statements and clear definitions, all neatly pigeon-holed for their convenience. This is emphatically NOT a book for intellectuals. The Author may well have added these gems had the Internet existed in 1946! In short, the electronic book that you now have before you is in every essential a faithful copy of the original printed edition. The only additions to the printed book are a few footnotes, and the jewel illustrations which introduce each chapter, or vision.
No attempt has been made to ‘modernise’ the Author’s phraseology or his sometimes archaic grammatical constructions. The substitution of ‘Nut’ for ‘Nuit’ (Egyptian goddess) is one example of such changes. The Author’s spelling of foreign words (such as the many Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and ancient Egyptian terms) has been retained except where it differs substantially from modern usage. Spelling and typographical errors have been corrected. With the exception of ‘A Word to the Wise Reader’, ‘Introduction’, the Book Notice below and ‘Publisher's Note’ in the sidebar, which have all been written by us, the rest of the information on this page is reproduced exactly as it appears in the printed book.įor technical reasons, pagination, position of footnotes and the arrangement of the various symbols employed by the Author, differ slightly from the printed book. This facsimile has been completely re-typeset from the original edition published by the UMA Press in 1946. The Golden Star A Mystic Crescendo in Twelve Visions By J Michaud PhD Aptly described as “A BOOK FOR INITIATES”, The Golden Star expounds the most ADVANCED OCCULT TEACHINGS, never before revealed to the public, yet in such a fascinating manner as to hold and extend the interest of the novice.
