With a foreword by Professor member Peter Stewart, this magisterial work is a greatly expanded version of the author’s earlier book Mirages in Western Science Resolved by Occult. The breadth of coverage and depth of thought are truly remarkable how the work of a single scholar. Edi has the detail and the relationships of the various disciplines and integrated into an overall perspective, she examines the relationship between Western science and occult knowledge or gnosis. Network reader to be familiar with the background of much of the material presented here as a development of the original work of HP Blavatsky. Both early Theosophists and members of the SPR felt that a marriage between science and mysticism was eminently possible, and that science does not have an exclusively materialist worldview result.

As we know, the desire and the struggle for more than 130 years. Edi makes his own position clear when he writes that “occult science is not bent on the overthrow, but to show to be collected Western science to an even finer point of view, using examples from the Western science itself, as in the deeper background of the occult rooted is science and philosophy. “You have to remember that the word

science is derived from the Latin ‘scientia’, meaning knowledge in a wider sense.

The book is divided into three major parts: an exhibition of Western science, and especially his knowledge of cosmology, consciousness, sound and light. The second part can be treated the different methodological approaches of Western science and occult science, while the third part is a detailed statement extend the principles of occult science and how to support it and the understanding of modern science. Edi is a deliberately very clear intrinsic limitations of modern science as an approach to quantify and not based on a connected account of the subjective nature of consciousness.

He shows how the mind is used within this structure the argument to deny the fact, and points to the importance of conditions to criticize, for example, the assumption that realism can be equated with reality. The main difference between the two approaches is that the scientific truth is bought from outside and is completely different from the spiritual truth revealed. It is the distinction between observation and participation. The author of the discussion of this point would have some references to the work of Ken Wilber, who analyzed the issue of benefits

intersubjective verification of mystical insight. But, he does usefully build on the work of Paul Brunton.

The second part starts with a discussion of the nature and structure of the Godhead, which contains some brilliant analysis of terms such as manifestation in relation to the limitation and form, and the emergence of duality and diversity within the unity of existence. He rejects the thought of a personal God, the universe at a given time made and argues that the universe is not separate from God, but an organic or physical expression of the deity himself. Divine action is manifested by the harmonizing principle of karma.

The most vital manifestation of duality is responsible for in terms of Shiva and Shakti or divine consciousness or divine power, a structural duality, at every level of existence can be found clarified. This theme, as with many others, is richly illustrated with the help of extensive tables. I found Edi’s definition of substance rather unusual, as he defines it as “subjective, noumenal term for the form making or vehicle-principle to the provision, the object of knowledge is the matter.” The function of this in Western thought would be tantamount to a morphogenetic field. Matter is a vehicle for manifestation.

This section also contains a very useful debate on the relationship between light and consciousness. There is an extensive chapter on the various ways in which issues of modern science are solved by occult science. This takes the form of a sentence, followed by a clarification of Western science and a resolution using the principles of occult science.

The main message of the book, is that at the roots of the physical universe is consciousness or mind – hence efforts to such a reality through purely physical means will never be detected successfully. Deep self-knowledge is a prerequisite for internal inspection, which is complementary to the outerdirected methods of modern science. Edi is very critical of the one-sidedness of a purely quantitative approach and the way in which scientism castigates those who are not in his commandments. Vast though the range is the book that focus on means theosophical writings, the works of other philosophers, many years with small or no attention: Nasr, Schuon, Guenon, Coomaraswamy and Ken Wilber for example, received.

I also felt that the rhetorical device used twice, when a dialog between the archetypal skeptical scientists (ASA) versus an occultist wise and learned (OWL) lowered the tone, even if it provided some entertainment available. Occultists and perennial philosophers can also rigid and dogmatic. But, these are small reservations about such a deep work to repay the close study.
