Long-time student of the esoteric here. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Five stars from me.

Exactly as described

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.

Worth the read

Was skeptical at first. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. The font runs small in the appendices. Happy enough with the purchase.
