Book excerpt: "Dr. Buck's philosophy is uplifting and stimulating to the mind." -Sacramento Union "Must forcibly appeal to all who are interested in problems of existence here and hereafter." -The Indianapolis Star "If our churches would let him write the creeds for them the improvement would be vast and startling." -Boston Transcript "A strange book, and one that will arouse discussion wherever it is read. 'Avatar' means, according to Oriental religions, the descent of the deity to earth in human form, but the idea is foreign to western minds. Dr. Buck, however, believes that signs are such as to indicate the coming of a new Avatar in the western world, and he proves, to his own satisfaction at least, that the new 'Avatar' is 'strictly that of Scientific Demonstration,' and pertains to the field of natural science, according to the findings of natural science reduced to practical studies in psychology." -The Bookseller "Contains a large amount of learning which the eminent brother has gathered from all the sources open to him, many of which are closed books to the general reader...He declares that we possess in America today one who can fill all the requirements that he has pointed out, as related to an Avatar such as he describes, not as a reincarnation of Buddha, but as 'a Master' who has made the demonstration of the life after death, as a member of the 'Great School' initiated many years ago, and who has devoted his life to the service of his fellow men...Dr. Buck has contributed to the pages of 'The New Age' many able articles, one of which made so deep an impression that it was reprinted in pamphlet form by one of our subscribers and distributed by hundreds among the Masons. Dr. Buck tells us something of his own search after truth through the many channels which seems to open before him and now that he has attained more than the age of 'three score years and ten' he gives his reasons for some of the conclusions which he has drawn from his life-long studies of Psychology, Philosophy, Religion and Freemasonry. For it should be borne in mind that Dr. Buck is a Mason. He has attained the thirty-third degree of the Scottish Rite in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, and in this instance such advancement evidences the fact that he has rounded out his Masonic experiences by going through the last degree and back to those firm and lasting stones or principles on which the Temple of Freemasonry has been built....Dr. Buck says that 'a fair appreciation of the Ancient Mysteries leaves no possible doubt that in these 'Secret Orders' were preserved the loftiest and the most profound mental and spiritual achievements of all previous human history. If there were no other evidence in existence at the present day except the traditions, landmarks, ritual and Genius of Freemasonry, a careful and intelligent study of that Ancient Order would be sufficient." -New Age Magazine
