No rating for I am unable to be objective about this book. For I met the author years ago and he helped me in profound ways ... Let us simply say this book exemplifies what I would call the Theosophical paradigm. That paradigm no longer works for me - as I look at the world falling into the materialistic power Rudolf Steiner called "Ahriman". Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg helped me to leave my Theosophical world behind, but that does not mean I do not see the noble spirit in this author, nor in what he is trying to do to help the world.
For my part, the tragedy is that my old Theosophical paradigm - which I put nearly 20 years of my life into - is actually obscuring, rather than pointing to, the central Mystery we most need as capitalism ravages the planet and the environment starts to burn.
