Product Description
Prefatory -- "The Wisdom of the Overself":
"I write for the few who, awakened by the world war into seeing that neither dead materialism nor blind mysticism can alone suffice, have had many a question brought to their lips and who therefore seek a higher truth which includes what is of worth in both views and yet transcends their defects. Men must come and knock at the doors of such a school out of their own interior prompting, out of their own hard reflections upon the meaning of the afflictions and elations of life, out of their own awakened desire to suffer blindly no longer. They must come to the condition written of by Virgil: "weary of everything except to understand." And the awful experiences of this war-mangled era, with its living horrors and buried hopes, will have brought not a few amongst mankind nearer to such a condition."
