⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. Every rereading turns up something I missed. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Good, with the caveats above.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way.
Was skeptical at first. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Needed this for my research. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Solid, if not essential.
I keep coming back to this one. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers.
Friedlander delivers a straightforward, no-nonsense manual that prioritizes utility over metaphysical complexity. The text succeeds in demystifying psychic phenomena, presenting them as learnable skills rather than mystical rarities. However, it may not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or deep historical critique of occult traditions; this is a how-to guide, not a scholarly treatise. Additionally, skeptics who require empirical scientific validation for claims of telepathy or clairvoyance will likely find the foundational premises insufficiently grounded in conventional science. It is best appreciated by those already inclined toward esoteric practice and willing to accept its internal logic as valid.
