Eliphas Levi (1810-1875) was a well-known mystic and sage in his day and in this short book, translated from French, he sets out a number of principles for inner peace including working on one's character, humility, doing one's duty in the present by doing good today is not seeking the glory that comes from the impulsive admiration of men. Then there are a number of instructive fables and two short pieces on how to attract your desires and create good opportunities - we are advised to believe that we can do something, then act. The last section contains some striking quotations: 'the law is slow and consistent progress is the universal law of nature;' 'it is the imagination alone that accomplishes all miracles;' and 'the source of most diseases is in emotional disorders; we must begin by meeting the soul, and then the cure for the body will quickly follow.'
