Excerpt from The Higher Metaphysics In presenting these sixteen lessons in The Higher Meta physics, Our hope is to assist those who so desire, to pass on ward from the mental or intellectual perception (and prao tice) of the working hypothesis of the Omnipresent Reality, into the Spiritual or esoteric - that sweet essence, the Father's love, care and bounty, which is omnipotent. That men may, through enlightenment and devotion, rend the veil, and pierce the illusive shadows with the sword of truth. Thus anchored and enlightened, man is able to live his life; and prove his God-given dominion over the tempter (his own carnal nature). When this is accomplished, man has passed out from the illusive forest, - carnality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
