Writing at the opening of the 20th century; a time when occultism underwent significant popularity, Richard Ingalese concentrates on topics which pertain directly to the human mind. Its capacity to interpret and affect the world around it, including realms unseen, is the central theme of this book, which acts as a superb introduction to the myriad occult phenomena in our lives.

Use of what Ingalese terms the 'divine mind' is the way in which followers of the occult gain experience and knowledge of things beyond ordinary perception. Yet closeness with the Supreme Power is not a simple matter of mere contemplation; there are certain conditions of temperament and behavior that prepare a person for knowledge. Ingalese advocates calm introspection, self-control, and a harnessing of emotions which can distract from attainment.
