Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental OccultismThe twelve lessons forming this volume were originally issued in the shape of monthly lessons, known as "The Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism," during a period of twelve months beginning with October 1904, and ending September 1905. These lessons were intended as a continuation of, or sequel to "The Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism" issued during the previous year.We have been urged to print these "Advanced Course" lessons in book form, and the present volume in the result.Lessons I to IV, inclusive, consist of an analysis and explanation of the little occult manual known as "Light on the Path," and have been highly praised by lovers of that little book as well as advanced students in occultism. They are said to be superior to anything ever written along these lines.Lessons V to VII, inclusive, treat of the several branches of the Yogi Philosophy indicated by their titles. They contain very much information in a small space.Lessons VIII and IX, treat of Dharma, the Yogi philosophy of Ethics or Right Action. They have been favorably received by students of ethics, and teachers of morality of different schools. They afford a common ground upon which the differing schools may meet.Lessons X to XII, inclusive, form a wonderful trio of lessons upon the higher Yogi metaphysical and scientific teachings. Their clearness and comprehensiveness is startling, and the most perplexing metaphysical and scientific questions are answered in the simplest manner by the centuries old, Yogi philosophy expressed in modern terms.We trust that the "Advanced Course" lessons may prove as popular in book form as in their original shape.The author, as usual, declines to write a Preface for the book, saying that the lessons "should speak for themselves."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
