This is an extremely helpful work concerning the challenging ideas on “Consciousness Only”, by Vasubandhu, the brother of Asanga. One of the goals of this text is to present it in the practical light of everyday living. It seeks to demonstrate how the use of these ideas as a way of practice, through practical application, occurs in the Yogacara school. The idea of Compassion is seamlessly woven into and along with all the ideas as an integral element throughout.

This work illuminates the inner nature and meaning of many occult and spiritual teachings. The central theme throughout these pages pertains to The Man of Light and the mystical, yet real world which is its abode. The theosophical reader may loosely equate the content of this book with the manasic light of our being and its subjective experiences on its journey back towards reunion with the Spiritual Ego.
