Many people today seem to be troubled by the apparent 'meaninglessness' of life. Even among those who do not succumb to depressive states, drug-addiction, or some other form of escapism, there may be a general feeling of painful insecurity through the lack of any sure groundwork for faith.

It is in the domain of mysticism that, as Raynor Johnson has said, 'we may hope to find the answers to those problems about which we are most hungry to have real knowledge and certainty'.

This book goes beyond the author's previous work, The Mystical Life, in its systematic presentation of the 'releasing skills' and paranormal knowledges which lead up to the 'mystical transformation'. In particular, the many kinds of non-physical states of consciousness which open us to 'other worlds' or deeper insights into this one are studied in the light of well-authenticated evidence from a variety of sources. The mystical analyses also permit us to arrive at the field equations of mathematical physics by a new method.

Contents: The Groundwork of Mystical and Psychical Awareness - Varieties of 'Other World' Experience: Beyond Personality - Attainment and Teachings of the Mystical Life - The Mystical Structuring of Psychology and Theoretical Physics.
