About This Book
An extended philosophical investigation argues that deeper understanding requires concentrating the various energies of personality into a unified mode of perception. It examines the mental instrument for such insight, maintains that soul and body are intertwined, and proposes that each sentient body contains a similar inner soul which partially creates its own perceived universe. It discusses inter-soul communication, an implicit common arbiter rooted in the soul's emotional substance, and identifies love and malice as fundamental psychic elements. Love manifests in pursuits of beauty, goodness, and truth. The book emphasizes rare heightened moments of perception and uses memory to articulate their revelations.
