Esoteric Writings: Teachings for the Aquarian Age
Cyrus Ryan, Publication Date: September 26, 2025
Paperback – 356 pages
Esoteric Writings, Group Work for the Aquarian Age is an amalgamation of fifty years of Group Work experience. Cyrus’s teacher RN was an Initiate who achieved an advanced grade of mantra shakti which stems from the grace of Master R who gave him an esoteric mantra in 1978. Cyrus Ryan’s teacher passed on this knowledge to him, some of which is found in this book of Esoteric Writings. When one experiences the battles on the inner planes, having the weapons and formulas, then it becomes clear that the ancient mythologies and heroes are true.
Today aspirants to the esoteric mysteries (occult) are enamored by the glamour surrounding magic, rituals, invoking deities, and using mantra without understanding the millennia-old principles and traditions. They aren’t prepared to undertake the disciplines, self-examination, and hard struggle necessary for spiritual growth, learning that there is an actual methodology or occult science that will expand one’s consciousness, awakening the inner Spiritual Man hidden within the folds of the personality.
Reading Esoteric Writings, you’ll find from first-hand experience, that knowledge that will guide you to correct understanding of what truly is required to enter the deeper esoteric path. Plunge into the profound mysteries of esotericism more deeply, and commence the required disciplines that awaken Soul knowledge, making it an active force that will transform one’s very being.
Cyrus Ryan, and a small group of esoteric disciples, after numerous years and lives together, under the direction of the Masters of the Trans-Himalayan Arhat School, who inspired them, giving them several esoteric mantras, combined with guidance in ancient esoteric tantras and rituals have now created a format for the Group Work in this, the beginning of the Aquarian Age. The esoteric work of this small group represents the first efforts in the externalization of one of the inner Ashrams of the Masters.
Cyrus Ryan as the director of the Northern School of Esoteric Wisdom has written for many New Age periodicals, newsletters, and quarterly publications, giving talks in Canada, USA, and England, including Podcasts, and YouTube channels. Esoteric Writings, Group Work for the Aquarian Age is his second book, a follow-up to “Living on the Inner Edge, a Practical Occult Tale.
“This book contains up-to-date, tangible, and extremely enlightening information and provides a valuable resource for serious seekers of perennial wisdom applied to esoteric work in the service of humanity’s spiritual evolution. In my opinion, its impact can be compared to the enlightenment and guidance found in the works of great servants of the Masters, such as Blavatsky and A.A. Bailey, as well as their best students.”
– Book Review by Celio Antonio Silva
“Esoteric Writings by Cyrus Ryan was just a mesmerizing book that gave me a new perspective of how I look at things. The narrative was very well written and had my whole attention. The depiction and portrayal of concepts in this book was one of the few things that I loved about this book.
This book teaches you the way of life through Master DK and the Aquarian Age . I felt the spirituality and the divine power when reading this book. I’ve learned a lot of things about the deeper insights, revelations, and directions of DK’s teachings. These concepts are so wonderfully explained that I fell in love with the book.
The book talks about a lot of things which were really needed in the world that we live in today. I personally found answers from the book to many questions I had about life. This is a book that provokes your inner thoughts and teaches you a valuable lesson.
I would definitely recommend this to everyone who needs a peaceful and harmonious life. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful read with a powerful message, then this book is for you!”
