Fundamentally, the book is a technical manual on yoga. It is a fairly rigorous curriculum of the chakras (four or five individual passes, going from memory) and the consequences of applying yogic methods to their systematic purification and awakening. All of the major content of besides the multiple seven-fold passes pretty much falls into the category of phenomena or consequences of that work.
I've had a book about one third written on paper, and almost finished in my head, for a dozen years. Several years ago, I gave a preliminary start-to-finish tour of it to our members at one of our annual all-Order seminars. There are a few technical rough spots but, for the most part, it's pretty straight forward.
Example: The seven letters to the Churches of Assiah are the purification pass of the chakras. Each is addressed in turn, something is said basic to establish its nature and characteristics, usually some praise of its virtue is mentioned, and then there is a symbolic statement of an existing error or something that needs to be done to bring it into preliminary purification. As a consequence of this, Ch. 4 then opens with a vision that is representative of typical consequences of that work.
I don't know that the vision anticipated Aeonic changes. Rather, it talked about things that we only started to understand in a different way thousands of years later.
No, I don't think it shows a reversion to Christianity etc. "Christ will return" is simply a measure of the fruit of the work. In this sense, "Christ" is the same as "Horus." This Greek work is careful to use the full "Jesus Christ" which, in the Greek original, has numerical ratios identical with those of the lines and line-parts that compose the pentagram (basic Golden Mean stuff) - this is "the Anointed One" in the broadest sense, the Holy Guardian Angel."
Jim, you're understanding of the book of Revelations is spot on.
I have completely translated the entire book, it has taken me several years. I give the meaning of every word and symbol line by line.
