About This Book

The work presents a synthesis of mystical and medical ideas, arguing that ancient esoteric principles clarify the nature of health, disease, and the human constitution. It outlines a multi-layered model of man with seven principles and an inner anatomy, discusses law and periodicity in knowledge, critiques narrow modern medicine, and distinguishes authentic mystic science from false mysticism. It proposes four pillars for medical practice—philosophy, natural science, observation of phenomena, and inner spiritual study—and treats astrology, alchemy, elements, states of consciousness, and the role of future physicians and therapies oriented toward harmony with universal law.

Transcriber’s Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation and accents have been standardised but all other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.

A variety astrological, alchemical and mystical symbols are used, for the sake of consistency all have been represented by images from the original book.

The anchor of footnote 22 on page 41 was missing. The present location was chosen by the transcriber.

The contents list shows five chapters, with chapter V being entitled The Medicine of the Future. In the body chapter IV is followed immediately by Chapter VI entitled The Physician of the Future. It is assumed that this is a missprint rather than a missing chapter and has been altered accordingly.
