Book excerpt: The Inner Dimensions of Life is a compressed yet exhaustive educational presentation of the esoteric teachings in three volumes, subtitled Esoteric Philosophy, Esoteric Psychology, and Esoteric Sociology. With a background in many years of work as a teacher in his Esoteric School, the author has gathered and edited a comprehensive and thoroughly tested curriculum, including illustrations and copious source references. Thus, the work appeals to readers who will be content with a general view, as well as those who wish to delve deeper into the subject. The second volume, Esoteric Psychology, describes the conscious mental life of human beings and its evolution. After the Introduction and an exposition of The Emotional Life, The Mental Life, and The Will Life, ensues a comprehensive chapter on the Personality. The next chapters concern the Building of the Antahkarana, Consciousness, Telepathy, Clairvoyance, and spiritual Guidance, and Dreams and Obsession. The book is rounded off with a thorough introduction to Meditation, the basic technique for spiritual development.
