ABOUT THE AUTHOR
And now to give a few biographical details regarding him who
elects to write under the pseudonym of David Anrias.
Coming from a Celtic stock, already as a child he was of a dis-
tinctly meditative disposition and much prone to solitary
wanderings and daydreaming. In early manhood, between 1908-
14 he came into contact with books on occult science and par-
ticularly on astrology, which aroused his keen interest and
prompted him to make a serious study of the subject. Previous to
this he had had an artistic training, and showed remarkable apti-
tude for pencil portraiture.
Then the World War I came. Two years he spent in the trenches
and was awarded the Military Medal for running messages under
fire. Later on he received a commission in the field and was
transferred to the Flying Corps. After the termination of hostili-
ties, he felt a strong inner urge to go out to India, where he
worked under Dr Annie Besant, of whom he speaks with great
admiration. During that time he spent many months together in
the Nilgiri Hills, and it was there that with untiring patience,
self-sacrifice and perseverance he applied himself to that labori-
ous process of "stilling the modifications of the mind", to which
I have previously alluded. After years of effort he succeeded in
establishing a rapport with the Adept known as the Rishi of the
Nilgiri Hills, to whom he acquired the capacity of mentally "tun-
ing in"(1) This venerable Sage specializes in Astrology, and it is
to his tuition that Anrias owes his really remarkable proficiency
in that most difficult and misunderstood science. He it was who
urged him to publish some astrological prognostications in The
Theosophist, which, although they provoked certain skepticism
at the time, have since been fulfilled.
Towards the end of the seven years, which Anrias spent in India,
he finally acquired the power to "tune in" to several of the other
Masters of Wisdom, to which fact we are indebted for the utter-
ances and portraits contained in this book.
