Bô Yin Râ explains in one of his books[1]: In order to adhere to the requirements op copywright law, notice is hereby given that I go by the name of Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken in my temporal life, and in my eternal spiritual being I am unconditionally in the three syllables Bô Yin Râ. The eternal spiritual being Bô Yin Râ was living in unison with the temporal being Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken from 1876 to 1943. Bô Yin Râ, however, lives on in the invisible aura of this planet. Though this cannot be proven in the usual way it can be felt and accepted as is ‘I am always with you until the end of time’ as Jesus quoted in Matthew 2, and ‘Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [3]’ Bô Yin Râ explains: in my books I seek nothing other than the representation of eternal reality, untouched by every temporal opinion of belief. [4] In other words Bô Yin Râ is only verifiable within one’s soul. He attaches very little importance to his own civil identity as he notes: finally I must say that the way in which I read books when a youth, namely scarcely aware of the author but foremost interested in the contents of the book, is not a bad way. I hope that my books will find such readers: the content of a book and its influence on the soul of the reader is a firm basis for judging the writer. [5] He denies the name of the temporal man and his relatives the right of becoming associated through their civil name with the spiritual books as they could never have been written by them. The real ‘author’ is the spiritual Luminary of the First Light, the member of the White Lodge which he, Bô Yin Râ, is he says is his own right like Jesus: Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. [6] He describes how he finally acquired his name. [7] This name is to be pronounced Bō Win Rā (ō and ā according to the phonetic scheme)[8] This is of importance as Bô Yin Râ tries to reach the soul by using word sounds. And words are the instruments of the brain. Bô Yin Râ has written the Hortus Conclusus, The Enclosed Garden, comprising 32 books which contains his complete teaching and of which he says: these books can not be finished (reading) because their contents present a picture of absolutely all the possible constellations of consciousness of the soul, and because every fresh reading finds the reader with a different receptivity in his soul. [9] All his other books his pamphlets and his paintings not included in the book ‘Worlds’, do not belong to the work for which he carries eternal responsibility, i.e. The Hortus Conclusus, The Enclosed Garden, with the one tiny gate which he opens again and again in his books for those who follow persistently and with endurance the ‘narrow path’.
