When I came to the Source Family in the 1970's, I was immediately given reading assignments. First I was told to copy the entire text of "Liberation," (written by Yahowha) into my
own handwriting. So, for a while, I transcribed "Liberation" onto notebook paper, until I had the entire text in my own handwriting. On another note, someone walked up to me
about 10 years
ago (approx. 1995), and asked me if I was in the Source Family. I replied yes, and they handed me a hard copy of "Liberation!" They said they were from the Love Israel Family and they recognized
me as a Source member. So I now have one handwritten copy of "Liberation," and one hard copy of the text.
After that, I was told to read several books:
* The Kybalion by Three initiates (an alchemist's view of the world - The Kybalion is now online at
http://www.kybalion.org/kybalion.asp#bottom)
* The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall (a large illustrated anthology of pagan rituals and religious rites throughout history)
* Hatha Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka (a wonderful book on anatomy)
* The Essene Gospels of Peace by Edmond Szekely (documentations of Essene culture, diet, etc. - Yahowha said that the Source were modern day Essenes - the
Essene Gospels are now online at http://www.thenazareneway.com/index_essene_gospels_of_peace.htm)
After I read those books, which were quite interesting, I was then told to read:
* The Tarot by Paul Foster Case (a detailed account of tarot history and symbology)
* Light on the Path by Mabel Collins (an esoteric reading on intangible things)
* Paul C. Bragg books on health including Super Brain Breathing, Build Powerful Nerve Force, Build Strong, Healthy Feet, Spine Fitness Program, and more...Yahowha was friends with Paul Bragg and agreed with much of his health philosophy)
* Sacred Science of Numbers by Corinne Heline * Anatomy books, including anatomy coloring books and reference manuals
After those books, I was further instructed to read:
Raja Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka (mind yoga and mind exercises)
The Book of Tokens by Paul Foster Case (tarot meditations)
All Szekely books on diet and health
I am sure there were more but these books stand out in my mind as I look back...
