This book is about Kabbalistic working methods and the background to such effort. Here theory and practice are set out against everyday life and history, as well as outer and inner processes. Individual and group operations are examined. So too are various levels of experience and their dangers. Schools of the Soul and Spirit are defined according to the Kabbalistic view.

Accounts of mystic techniques and the Path to travel are made accessible as well as how to regard good and bad teachers. Memories of previous lives are touched upon, together with an examination of the way in which certain ceremonies have esoteric content. The book begins with basic theory so that the context of what follows is clear.
