1The real secrets and the inner mysteries of the sacred “Naros” appear to have been entirely unknown to either medieval or modern writers. In fact, the most prominent writers upon occult and theosophical subjects generally avoid all mention of it; or, if they do ex¬ press their ideas, it is only upon its cosmic, or external aspects, as it applies to the Macrocosm, of the sidereal heavens. But of its spiritual and mystical importance, as it applies to the human soul of the Micro¬ cosm, they are universally silent. Briefly stated, the “Naros,” in its astronomical and physical aspects, is a Luni-Solar Cycle of the period of the Sun and Moon, and is completed in six hundred years; and, strangely enough, such a period also coincides with some remarkable revolution in the mental and theological affairs of humanity; hence a few extracts from prominent writers will not be out of place to pre¬ pare the student for that which is to follow. Madam Blavatsky, speaking of the Naros in “Isis Unveiled,” Vol. I, pages 31-33, remarks “that he (G. Higgins) fails to decipher it (the Cycle) is made apparent; for, as it pertains to the mysteries of creation, this Cycle was the most inviolable of all. It was repeated in symbolic figures only in the Chaldean Book of Numbers, the original book, which, if now extant, is not to be found in libraries.”
2To the foregoing we may also add, neither will this Chaldean Book be found in the crypts of Thibet, Madam B. to the contrary not¬ withstanding. She very pointedly tells her readers where they cannot find such a book, but very wisely maintains a discreet silence as to where this rare work can be found. The learned Countess of Caithness, in her recent volume, “The Mystery of the Ages,” mentions the Naros on page 361 viz. “To the Christian Theosophist, Jesus is a manifestation of ‘Adonai’, the Christ, or Christ Spirit, of whom there have been many incarnations on this Earth, and He the fullest and most perfect. They believe Him to be the guiding guardian protector of this planet during His particular cvcle. and that in coming to it. He comes to His own, not only to inc iooqle IZBA NABONIA 123 struct, but to give a fresh impulse at the end of certain periods of six hundred years, called Naroses, or Naronic Cycles, and if, therefore, it could be proven by those who assert that Jesus is only a mythical, and not an historical personality, the whole theory of the Naronic Cycles, founded on astronomical science, which is to be found in the doctrines of every ancient country, all over the civilized world, would fall to the ground, and prove after a million of ages to be but a vain de¬ lusion.”
3It is scarcely necessary for us to point out that, if the Naros is as the authoress asserts, “founded upon astronomical science,” then the Cycle is an astronomical fact, and as such is capable of mathematical demonstration; consequently is, and always must be, totally independ¬ ent of the existence of individuals. In fact, an astronomical cycle, if true, possesses no real relationship with any personality, human or Divine, and this being the case, the Naronic Cycle will remain just the same truth, upon the plane to which it naturally belongs, whether the Christian Jesus is proven to be either Myth, Man or God. Neither does the genuine student of Occultism care, very much, in which po¬ sition the supposed Redeemer is placed by the masses. Therefore, the statement of the authoress that without the actual physical incarnation of the personal Jesus this theory of “millions of ages” would prove to be a vain delusion is the very height of mystical absurdity, and the self-evident inanity of such an illogical argument must surely become apparent to all reflective minds.
