There are three steps which lead the seeker to the alter of divine wisdom: philosophy, referring, to the perception and study of things; psychology, learnt by thinking and feeling what is in our human nature and character; mysticism, acquired and learnt through meditation and the study of the whole of life, both seen and unseen. The book opens new avenues of thought, attitude and life to the reader with open mind and heart. First, aspects of the physical nature of life as perceived through the five senses are discussed. They are surprisingly modern although they have been given as lectures in the twenties. They the psychological aspecgs are covered, first focusing on the subjects of suggestion as a way of coping with the complications in life by acquiring a spiritual and most practical attitude in life; and then presenting magnetism as a more positive way ofdealing with our tasks in life, particularly in dealing with others. Finally, mysticism is presented uder a surprising variety of subjects, thus illustrating the practicality and at the same time the aloofness of the spiritual path. After these teachings-sometimes called the magnum opus of the master-you will find a rich collection of sayings under the title Aphorisms. One may be struck by the wisdom subtlely and power of these illuminated words.
