Many occult schools, especially American, teach us how to develop our inner powers by the improper use of what is known as conscious will power. These schools say that one’s objective self can demand and receive things by impressing the subconscious self through will power. In the deeper states of Yoga the student directs things, but does not will them as this world understands the term, but uses the consciousness of the Reality within him. Thus in the higher schools the word “Will” is seldom used.
We do not wish to disturb anyone’s faith; but we suggest that would man only learn to think inwardly and seek his own kingdom of Heaven, he would read therein the original books of the great world teachers that have not been altered; for our own books of wisdom are not distorted by the illusion world. As the prophet Mahomet has said: “To its own book shall every nation be summoned,” meaning that in the future man will learn to distinguish the true from the false when he attains union with his Innermost.
This book also deals with the health of the body and self-analysis, and the student can begin these practices no matter how old he is.
