Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... be called a dream, in the same sense as life on the earth is called a dream. The dream of life only differs from the dream after death, that, during the former, we are able to make use of our will to guide and control our imagination and acts, while during the latter that guidance is wanting, and we earn that which we have sown, whether it is pleasant or not. No effort, whether for good or for evil, is ever lost. Those who have reached out in their imagination towards a high ideal on earth will find it in heaven; those whose desires have dragged them down will sink to the level of their desires. It is said that the most material and sensual thoughts Maximilian Perty: "Die mystischen Erscheinungen in der Natur," create forms in the subjective condition which will appear to him who created them, after he enters that sphere, even more gross, dense and material, than the material forms of the terrestrial world; nor does this seem incomprehensible, if we remember that everything is composed of thought-substance, and that the terms "density," "materiality," &c, are merely relative terms.

Humbled

[Nirmal · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was published in 1904 not 1961. The content is a mix of Eastern and Western religion on the way a man should live by realizing and practicing good. The words flow from the author continuously so you can start reading from any section without loosing the meaning.

Part of the Richard Rose reading list. As incomprehensible as expected.
