"Philosopher Paul Brunton (1898-1981) encounters the mysteries and magic of Egypt in the 1930s, including encounters with occultists and fakirs, frank interviews with Muslim leaders, and an eerie yet illuminating night spent alone inside the Great Pyramid. Brunton's journey leads him to distinguish various forms of yoga and magic from true spirituality and to the discovery that the freedom of our spirit can be experienced here and now"-- Provided by publisher.
