I was studying Esoteric Psychology by Alice Bailey at the same time that I was studying Psychology at university. An interesting experience, indeed, since the spiritual aspect of the human being came into play thanks to the esoteric view of man's makeup. Man, as part of the universe, comes into play with Esoteric Psychology, a place in the scheme of creation, which traditional psychology ignores. Knowledge of the fundamentals of man's psychology is expressed in Vol. I. The various universal laws are clearly explained in Vol. II. Read one; read them both. They complement one another. The reading of these volumes has introduced me to myself as a member of the Universal Body. I am not a pebble, I am part of the whole...just as we all are.

A. A. Bailey has 24 books from which to choose. I would agree with the other reviewer that Esoteric Psychology I might be a good place to start. Why? Because most folks grasp that everything is psychology, when you get right down to it. It's a hot topic everywhere. People are always "psychologizing" this, that, and the other. Because of that predeliction, readers will move easily from thinking of psychology as the study of the human mind to esoteric psychology which is the study of the soul. After all, that's what psychology really means...."psyche" = soul and "ology" = study of. Thus, anyone yearning to discover the soul should explore Esoteric Psychology I and then II. For me, the discovery has taken me far and wide, and into all 24 of Bailey's books. The whole experience has been life changing.

A whole book in itself, practical. Yet encourages to read a lot more of the Author's Litterature.
