The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception

Max Heindel’s The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity is an occult account of man’s past, present, and future, issued as a third edition by the Rosicrucian Fellowship at Ocean Park, California. The title page prints no year. The copyright page prints 1911, and names M. A. Donohue and Co. of Chicago as printers. Races, in his use of the word, do not begin until the end of the Lemurian Epoch. He counts sixteen: one then, seven Atlantean Races, seven in the Aryan Epoch, and one at the start of a Sixth Epoch.

Lemuria is destroyed by volcanic cataclysms, and Atlantis rises where the Atlantic Ocean now is. The fogs of Atlantis later condense and inundate that continent. He gives no year. The Original Semites are the seed-race, led over Europe to the Gobi Desert. Noah symbolizes the Atlantean remnant. He does not use the name Mu.
