The Arcane Teaching has come down to the present age
through the corridors of time, from the dim ages of past
eras, races, and schools of thought. Even those highest
in the councils of “The Custodians of The Scroll,” are unable
to trace the Teaching, in an unbroken direct line, further back
than the time of Pythagoras (about 500 b. c.), and a little later
in Ancient Greece, although they find many references to, and
extracts from, the teachings of ancient Egypt and Chaldea,
which serve to show that the Pythagorean and Ancient Grecian
Arcane Schools were founded on occult instruction still more
remote, received in a direct line of succession of teachers and
pupils extending over centuries.
