Self-Development and the Way to Power

The text argues that happiness is the natural human condition and suffering results from ignorance; spiritual illumination attained through conscious self-development can transform evolution into a comfortable, swift process. It interprets personal hardships—death, enmity, poverty, disease—as lessons and karmic reactions that vanish when wisdom and clairvoyant faculties develop. The work presents clairvoyance as a dawning sixth sense, explains varying degrees of perceptive expansion, and contrasts unconscious, pain-filled evolution with deliberate inner training to awaken latent powers and thereby master nature's laws.
