"The theme of this book is that modern civilization is in a state of chaos because its spiritual leadership has lost effective knowledge of man's true nature and destiny. Neither philosophy nor religion does much to give man the consciousness that the deepest center or 'ground' of his being is that eternal Reality which in the West is called God. Yet from this realization comes the serenity and spiritual power necessary for a stable and creative society." This book is in almost new condition. This ISBM is also used for a paperback edition, but this is definitely a hardback. A very good read! *9BC2
