In this nimble, smooth-reading little volume, renowned esotericist Dion Fortune, one of London's most famous psychoanalysts of her time, gives us an explanation of the workings of the mind and its structure.
All this can be easily understood and assimilated even by those who have never approached psychological and psychoanalytic theories, thus saving them the time and effort they would spend in reading the ponderous and often obscure tomes written on the subject by other authors.
On the other hand, since these mechanisms act continuously within each of us, it is at the very least appropriate that one be aware of their existence and their mode of action.
Dion Fortune clearly and unequivocally reveals to us that instincts, not reason, are the key to the human mind.
But if the primitive man lies at the base of our being, the divine man, however, lies at its apex, and it is up to each of us, in our personal spiritual ascent and journey, to find ways to mediate and use our primitive part to pursue and cultivate that divine spark that lies dormant in us.
And this book gives important keys regarding that.
