CORINNE HELINE'S EARLY YEARS - 1882 - 1916
The pattern of destiny was apparent from early childhood in the life of Corinne Heline, author of 28 volumes of Esoteric work. As a tiny tot with advanced consciousness and inquiring mind she spent many hours visiting and admiring the beautiful statue of Mary in the Catholic Church across the street from her own Methodist Sunday School. Later in life she realized this was her first conscious touch with the beautiful Madonna whose over- shadowing presence was to be the love and inspiration of all her writings. Corinnes inner life-long dedication was to the Madonna.
Corinne recognized her mission at an early age. As a child of four, she would put her head on her mothers open Bible and remain there for long periods of time exclaiming there was something wonderful in that Holy Book and one day she would know what it was. With an advanced incarnation and preparation from childhood, her soul could easily impress the conscious mind of work to be done in this incarnation.
When in her teens her destiny was further shaped by the discovery of occult literature in the extensive library of an understanding neighbor and Theosophist, Mrs. Little. Already an avid Bible reader, the young Corinne now devoted many hours to studying occult books, borrowing one each time she visited Mrs. Little. The books on reincarnation opened a new world, answering many of her inner questions. Later Mrs. Little's gift of the Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception by Max Heindel, was to change Corinne's whole life.
Corinne was born,
in Atlanta Georgia, August 13, 1882, to the well-to-do Smith family. Her mother died when she was 16 leaving her a comfortable inheritance which was later to be used in book publishing. Corinne mourned the loss of her mother deeply until one night her mother came to her telling her of her happiness in Higher Worlds and asked her to stop sorrowing and bring some joy to her father. She also told Corinne to look in an old trunk where Christmas money was hidden. With this money Corinne bought herself a new Bible. That was the Bible she used in her New Age Bible Interpretation work. This Bible was given to Corinnes friend, Adrienne Ashley, a beloved teacher who carried on the Bible work and compiled a 63-lesson correspondence course used by the New Age Bible and Philosophy Center in Santa Monica for students from all over the world. This Bible is a cherished gift with an aura which will ever sparkle with Divine Light.
Corinne moved to California after her mother died. There she met Max Heindel and spent 5 years under the tutelage of this famous man. He saw her potential and encouraged its development. Eventually she became a lecturer, teacher and author in her own right.
It was not until Christmas Eve in 1922, 3 years after Max Heindels death, that Corinne knew she must begin the work for which she was destined. She got her INNER COMMISSION to interpret the Bible in the Light of the esoteric tradition, in addition to Max Heindels asking her to undertake the work.

Corinne had a vision of being present at the Last Supper. There were two celebrations: one for Jesus and His disciples in one room, and another room for the women, where Mary sat at the head of the table giving assignments to other people who were to carry the work forward. Corinne was shocked when she was told she was to write an interpretation of the Bible, and said -Why me? I am inadequate-. But Mary came to her, kissed her cheek, and told her, she would help her.This vision verified her Inner Commission for her Bible work. This was a monumental task, the central focus of her work in this incarnation for which students will ever be in her debt. Her works are texts for understanding the plan of evolution and initiation for the Piscean and Aquarian ages, as set forth in the Bible.
In 1916, Corinne developed a strong association with Theodore Heline,also a student of the Rosicrucian Teachings, who came to be editor of the Rays of the Rose Cross, an esoteric magazine. Theodore was a Shakespearean actor, author, and lecturer who had the ability to correlate current events with the unfoldment of mans consciousness in the light of ageless wisdom. He had an inner reality that served him in writing about the allegorical meaning behind Shakespearean plays. Later, he became editor and founder of the New Age Interpreter, an esoteric periodical, and started the New Age Press, a publishing house.
Corinne and Theodore traveled extensively, lecturing to large audiences throughout the United States. They often filled the Sanctuary to over-flowing at the New Age Bible and Philosophy Center in Santa Monica, where they both were ordained as ministers. They were married in 1938, when Corinne was 56 years of age. Theodore set aside his talents to make Corinnes life work available to the world. He, like Corinne, was a New Age pioneer, prepared by previous life experiences with the qualities required for this challenging work.
