"Whoever is able to gain dominion over oneself, transforms and sublimates all of his or her animal nature to give birth to the Superior ‘I.’ When the Superior ‘I’ has really been crowned as king of the microcosm – that is the body – the individual can attain the power to achieve certain things that are not within the reach of the person who has not found him or herself."
In this book, the author shows us the path that leads human beings towards self- mastery and authentic personal development. This is accomplished through voluntary control of the Laws of Nature that permit the individual to consciously manage his or her own life.
This book is dedicated to all sincere seekers of truth, to all those who yearn to become free of ignorance, lies, mistakes and pain.
According to Hermeticism, the complete structure of the Cosmos is within the human being. Thus, management of these forces bestows upon the individual cosmic projection.
The real meaning of life is that human beings should fulfill the highest duty of their existence: to find themselves and use their mental powers to the highest degree, under the direction of a superior consciousness, thus attaining their transcendental destiny: to develop into “Stellar Men or Women.”
