One could say many things about this book all of which may
only serve to colour readers' minds before they start to
read, thereby preventing them from making their own direct
relationship with the material presented. It is only when
we make such direct relationships with information in any
form that we can have any idea of its true worth. The
opinions of others about almost any matter tends to tell
us more about them than the matter they are talking about,
If we are not aware of this we can be very misled.
An important point could be made by saying that within these
covers Freud and Jung are reconciled. That the first part
is Freudian and the second part is Jungian, and that they
compliment each other very well; something which those two
masters did not appear to see in their time. But there is
no advantage in saying this or anything else about the
work, if the reader does not see it for himself.
What you think about this book when you have read
it is of no importance. Nor will your opinions about it,
however good, bad or indifferent, be even worth the energy
of expressing. All within stands or falls by having nudged
you into seeing something for yourself, or by having
failed to do this. Metaphysical knowledge is of little
value when it is not your own, when you have to take on
trust, information from another that you cannot see for
yourself. It has little power then and is not likely to
take you very far. And when arguments start you are likely
to become ever more confused, lost or angry.
Any part of this book then is useful and valid that shows
you something you may not have seen before. That helps you
understand for yourself something that you may not have
understood before, because when this happens that
information becomes your own and you can then use it to
enrich your life.
The discoveries contained herein are all extremely simple
and obvious once our eyes have been opened. If you think
the work is a theory it is because you have not been using
your own eyes, ears and inner feelings, but again only
what you can see for yourself has any real value to you.
The more perceptive may think of setting up a drama school
that could cure 'all ills'.
We see the standards of the old fossilized regime
crumbling all around us, so that there is an urgent need
to establish a new and comprehensive culture. We trust
that readers may realize that the work the presented here
is an adequate blueprint for the foundation of a
miraculous way of living.
