About this Item

Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the universe's origins and man's place within it. The author's views are based on ancient oriental philosophies that often form the basis for many of the world's religions. In exploring this esoteric philosophy, the book begins by explaining that to understand our place within the universe, we must first understand ourselves. As such, the book discusses the history of man and the universe by starting with the most abstract metaphysical ideas, gradually transitioning to more familiar concepts. The author posits that the universe is subject to a universal law of evolution that can be observed in the cycles of the natural world and within individual life. Because this eastern philosophy sees the universe as one of duality, all things exist in pairs, such as spirit and matter, thought and substance, or positive and negative. The author concludes that through these dualities and through our experiences within the natural world, we can come to understand our own nature and purpose. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
