The Candle of Vision describes Russells' luminous excursions into the otherworld, including clairvoyant and prophetic visions, precognition of Gnostic concepts, past-life and astral journeys, and, always, heightened awareness of the beauty that pervades mundane reality. Russell taught "creative visualization", and believed that the creative powers of imagination could become a passport to other worlds. This study of the true nature of visionary exploration will appeal to the artist and the poet, as well as the mystic.

From the Back Cover

Considered by some the greatest examination of the mystical life ever written, this 1918 collection gathers the poetic meditations of George William Russell, an early-20th-century adherent of theosophy, which sought the essential truth underlying all religions, systems of ethics, and philosophies.

Here, in twenty chapters that stand alone as ruminations on the mystic consciousness or that can be read as a cohesive vision of mental and spiritual life, are Russell's thoughts on:

* "The Mingling of Natures" * "Have Imaginations Body?" * "The Architecture of Dream" * "The Language of the Gods" * "Ancient Intuitions" * "The Memory of the Spirit" * and more.

Not just a window in the soul of one man, this love work offers an insightful glimpse into the soul of us all.
