Fabre was born on December 21, 1823, and passed away on October 11, 1915, in Saint-Léons, Aveyron, France. Although many consider him to be the father of modern entomology, he is most recognized for his research on insects. Fabre combined what he called "my quest for scientific truth" with acute observations while writing in a fun, conversational style. He had an impact on Charles Darwin's later publications. There is a season for everything, and when that time comes, the historical evolution of our planet will all be intelligently recorded for human illumination and instruction. Man will worship God in this way, perfecting his divine essence to angelic status. One day, a world in anticipation will learn of the treasures buried within the Astral Book of Karmic development. It is foolish to label as erroneous and condemn useless the laws and formulae of the past since man's entire nature is being tuned to a higher tone. Each person must make an effort to fully understand for himself, in light of any new information, and base his arguments on astrology's TRUE PRINCIPLES. He states that his premises and conclusions must be on the same level and that the Sun and Moon are the major forces influencing human destiny.
On April 14, 1855, Thomas H. Burgoyne was born in Scotland and raised there before becoming an astrologer and founding member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor. He claimed to be spontaneously telepathic and that as a young boy, he had communication with the Brotherhood of Light, a group of evolved, discarnate creatures that want to direct the course of human history.
William Henry Burgoyne established the Brotherhood of Light in 1885, and the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor was its outward manifestation. He created a collection of courses to promote the fraternity to the general public when he was a member of it. The teachings were released as The Light of Egypt in 1889. The Hermeticism Society, an esoteric occult order, was founded as a result of them.
Burgoyne believed the Brotherhood of Light to be an occult group established in opposition to the then-dominant religious authorities in ancient Egypt. The fraternity was carried on after death by the members on their new level of existence.
