The cosmic doctrine explores the no man's land where science and magic meet. The concepts of the Big Bang theory and chaos research occur simultaneously with the evolution of humans, plants, and animals. In 1923, a remarkable event took place in Glastonbury at the beginning of the spring equinox: For almost a year, Dion Fortune received messages from the inner realms about the creation of the universe, which later became this spiritual classic. The cosmic doctrine remained a closely guarded secret until the 1980s, as Dion Fortune's successors viewed the original as a highly dangerous book. In 1949, a privately printed version was released for a small circle. Every human spirit learns the lessons voluntarily and acquires the experiences related to the physical universe.
