Pekka Ervast’s work distills the stages of initiation and the path of spiritual growth within esoteric Christianity and Theosophy.
The School of Temptations is based on a series of lectures given by Ervast in Helsinki in the autumn of 1927. It is effectively a manual for self-initiation; initiation being elevation into higher states of consciousness and deeper levels of spiritual understanding.
In this book Ervast portrays the process of initiation as a series of trials by earth, by fire, by air and by water.
He explains how these trials are accompanied by their own series of temptations and offers a route-map to negotiate a way through
these mighty challenges.
Pekka Ervast (b. 1875, d. 1934) was a towering and influential figure in the theosophical movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. He joined the Swedish Theosophical Society in 1895 and founded the Finnish Theosophical Society in 1907. On November 14, 1920, Ervast founded a new society, The Finnish Rosy Cross (Ruusu-Risti) in the tradition of Rosicrucianism. The society has its roots both in Theosophy and esoteric Christianity, in which the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount are crucial in the spiritual path.
Ervast was one of a long and illustrious line of spiritual pioneers whose role was to re-interpret the timeless truths of the Perennial Philosophy down the ages. His key messages continue to reverberate a century after they were first imparted.
