I think this is Ralph Lewis's best work. The best part is later in the book where he explains the difference between occultism, Hermetic Philosophy, metaphysics and mysticism. Highly recommended for AMORC students.
I like the fact that it causes one to look within and know thyself. I would recommend this book to anyone who is on a journey of spiritual development and understanding. Some things may be historical and at first seem scary, however it is good to know these, as it changes your perception. This book is great for someone on the path to becoming a mystic.
This book is very useful in closing the bridge for the different aspects of mysticism. It discloses different yet non-competing paths for the modern day mystic.
Absolute essential read for everyone; not just Rosicrucians
This is an incredibly spiritual book. It doesn’t get into the technical aspects of Rosicrucianism at all. It’s just describes, not just how, but as to why we all need to live a mystical life and how it benefits everyone.
