Not really a review, more an impression,
This review is from: A Science for the Soul: Occultism and the Genesis of the German Modern (Hardcover)
I looked inside the book using Amazon's great preview feature and I am a bit put off. I'm not sure what to make of this quote, for example: "Then, around 1912 [...] Schneiderfranken had a rebirth, at once aesthetic and personal. He went to Greece, and when he returned to Germany in 1914 he had become Bo Yin Ra, a spiritual teacher [...]". This indicates to me the author hasn't done sufficient research which puts the whole book under a question mark. The reason I'm saying this is that the quote above is just like saying "Well, the shoemaker Jakob Boehme once looked at a pot in his kitchen and within 45 minutes became a spiritual teacher" - I mean it's all literally true in a way but it's at the same time so misleading as to be - for all practical purposes - a lie. It seems to me the author didn't bother to check the original sources and merely copied an old German church lexicon entry.
