Excerpt from Yoga, or Transformation: A Comparative Statement of the Various Religious Dogmas Concerning the Soul and Its Destiny, and of Akkadian, Hindu, Taoist, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Christian, Mohammedan, Japanese and Other Magic
I have written this book to help myself think and now publish it to help others do so. It is, at its least, a call to thought and an aid to thinkers. With the materials I have amassed, and now put at their disposal, it would be strange if other students did not go much further than I have. To such I leave many a problem arising on the face Of those materials that I have not been able to solve, and many others I have not even attempted to assail. Most of the conclusions reached have followed after the putting on paper Of the facts which are their grounds, and the most important theory I have put for ward is quite opposed to my former preconceptions, quite different from anything I had an idea Of in the beginning.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich tapestry of human belief systems surrounding the soul, exploring how various cultures throughout history have conceptualized its nature and destiny. From ancient Egypt to India, Greece, China and beyond, the author examines the diverse beliefs surrounding the soul, its journey after death, and the practices designed to influence its fate. The book offers a unique perspective on the origins of religious doctrines, revealing how seemingly complex spiritual beliefs often stem from simpler, more primal anxieties and observations. It highlights the role of magic and mystical practices in shaping these beliefs, and demonstrates how even the most sophisticated religions incorporate rudimentary, often superstitious, ideas into their doctrines. The author further explores the universal concept of yoga as a means of spiritual growth, demonstrating how different cultures have developed their own practices designed to transcend the limitations of the material world and achieve union with the divine. By analyzing the fascinating and often contradictory beliefs surrounding the soul, this book sheds light on the enduring human quest for meaning and the enduring power of myth and ritual in shaping our understanding of ourselves and the universe.
