The more ingenious case is that of a gentleman who had been to America but is a good European. He was summoned here to Germany by a long-standing member and listened to all kinds of lectures. He tried hard to get the lectures that had been given years ago by demanding them from this person or that. After he had faithfully packed up everything he had copied, he went back to America. He said there that he had been here, that he had familiarized himself with my teaching, but that he could not be satisfied with my teaching, but had to go much deeper, so one would find in his work many things that are not yet to be found in my books. For when he had exhausted everything that could be found with me, he was called to a master who dwells somewhere in the Transylvanian Alps; he then told him many things that he is now incorporating into his book. But now everything that he incorporated into his book was what he had overheard here in the lectures and copied down! And then the book was called: “Rosicrucian Worldview”. It was published in America and caused a great stir: the book, that was a combination of what he had heard from me here, and what the master was supposed to have told him in the Transylvanian Alps. People did not need to check what I had said, nor could they, because it had been said in part in our internal lectures. But not only did this appear as a book written in English and American, but a German bookshop was also found that translated the book and published it as “Weltanschauung der Rosenkreuzer” (The Rosicrucians' World View).

Der genialere Fall ist der, daß ein Herr, der früher in Amerika war, aber ein guter Europäer ist, vor einigen Jahren durch ein altbewährtes Mitglied gerufen, hier in Deutschland sich aufhielt und sich alle möglichen Vorträge angehört hat, überall auch mit großer Emsigkeit die Vorträge zu bekommen suchte, die seit Jahren gehalten worden waren, indem er sie dem oder jenem abverlangte. Nachdem er alles getreulich eingepackt hatte, was er abgeschrieben hatte, ging er wieder nach Amerika. Er sagte dort, daß er hier gewesen sei, daß er sich mit meiner Lehre bekanntgemacht habe, daß er aber nicht zufrieden sein könne mit meiner Lehre, sondern viel tiefer gehen müsse, daher würde man bei ihm manches finden, was in meinen Büchern noch nicht zu finden ist. Denn als er alles ausgeschürft habe, was bei mir zu finden ist, da wäre er berufen worden zu einem Meister, der da irgendwo in den Transsilvanischen Alpen haust; der habe ihm dann vieles mitgeteilt, das er jetzt seinem Buche einverleibe. Nun war aber alles das, was er seinem Buche einverleibte, dasjenige, was er hier in den Vorträgen abgelauscht und was er abgeschrieben hatte! Und dann wurde das Buch genannt: «Rosenkreuzerische Weltanschauung». Es erschien in Amerika und machte dort großes Aufsehen: das Buch also, das kombiniert war aus dem, was er hier von mir gehört hatte, und dem, was der Meister dann in den Transsilvanischen Alpen ihm gesagt haben soll. Nachzuprüfen brauchten die Leute nicht, was von mir war, konnten es auch nicht, denn es war ja zum Teil in unseren interneren Vorträgen gesagt worden. Aber damit nicht genug, daß das nun als ein englisch-amerikanisch geschriebenes Buch erschien, sondern es fand sich eine deutsche Buchhandlung, die das Buch übersetzte und als «Weltanschauung der Rosenkreuzer» herausgab.
