The Growth of the Soul: A Sequel to Esoteric Buddhism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Growth of the Soul: A Sequel to Esoteric BuddhismThere is something pathetic, for us who know better, in the altitude of mind of people who treat as matters of ribald incredulity the existence of faculties in daily use amongst some of us in connexion with the study, not merely of literary philosophy, but of special con ditions of existence. That other world from which, in the old phrase, no traveller returns, has been found accessible to travellers who are going backwards and forwards constantly, and in saying this, I am leaving entirely out of account communications from the next world purporting to come from those who have passed over to it finally.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
