Benharoche-Baralia''' was a French occultist, author, and student of the [[Cosmic philosophy]], although (according to [[Satprem]]) he never actually met [[Max Theon|Theon]]. He was badly wounded in the [[First World War]]. In [[1967]], Benharoche-Baralia published ''In the Shadow of the Cosmic Tradition'' which was described as a Contribution and introduction to the study of the first lesson of the Esoteric Tradition. It is a dense and technical work of occultism, based on the [[cosmic philosophy]] of [[Charles Barlet]], [[Max Theon]], and [[Victor-Emile Michelet]]. Among the many subjects covered are: initiatory technique, ancient initiation, ontology, permanent time, self-knowledge, occult exercises, consciousness and its awakening, the history of occultism, the esoteric Tradition, symbolism, and the twenty three letters of biblical alphabet. In [[1971]] he sent a copy of the book to [[The Mother]] as an expression of his respectful admiration, and asked for her help in dealing with a health issue causing physical suffering.
