“A Journey into the Hidden Human Self”, is a long-awaited book now available in its revised fourth edition. It is the twenty-eighth book in the series of Esoteric Science publications by Joseph B. Majdalani, comprising 304 medium-sized pages, published by Friends of White Knowledge, Beirut, Lebanon.
The book tells the story of a human being who walked the path of excellence in all things. A person who awakened to his humanity and unlocked his inner powers after overcoming inner psychological struggles, and then choose to share with others the knowledge he attained.
Presented in a captivating narrative style, the book illustrates how self-knowledge leads to the knowledge of all things. It offers readers a practical approach to Socrates’ famous saying, “Know yourself and you will know everything,” while explaining that: “To the extent that you know yourself, you come to realize that the cause of everything arises from within you, and the result of everything returns to you.”
With a style that is both simple and profoundly eloquent, the book presents a practical method for deepening self-knowledge and uncovering the hidden layers of the psyche through thought and memory. Its aim is to uproot negative traits and replace them with their positive opposites, thereby achieving inner purification.
By accomplishing this, the seeker of knowledge becomes able to enter the metaphysical realms where the treasures of wisdom reside, and to receive the guidance needed to continue forward on the journey toward the Self…
The book is also rich in practical “knowledge equations,” as nearly every paragraph contains a conceptual equation that the reader intuitively grasps while engaging with the unfolding events of the narrative. At times it speaks to the intellect, and at others it resonates with the emotions. Through this interaction, emotions settle, allowing the mind to take delight in understanding the content of these life-based knowledge equations, which can be applied on all levels and in every aspect of life.
The book explores new and far-reaching horizons in the “Know Thyself” technique. Alongside the fluidity of its style and the depth of its content, it encourages the reader to move through the storms of modern life with courage, inner peace, and even joy. It presents a clear and, in many respects, detailed knowledge methodology – a unique approach that every individual can apply in their life: the method of self-mastery and Self-realization.
Through its novelistic first-person narration, the book makes it easier for the reader to assimilate its sublime life and knowledge-based content. It simplifies complex themes such as the question of will, self-discipline, freedom of choice, the horizons of the mind, Love in all its expressions, consciousness and its tools, wisdom that illuminates thought, the law of inevitable evolution, the continuity of life, and many other subjects. All of these combine scientific material logic with the supreme humanistic logic in a manner of great subtlety, elegance, and poetic expression.
Anyone who sincerely aspires to Self-realization and passionately seeks development and knowledge would not want to miss the experience of being drawn into this novel. Once they begin their journey through its pages, they may find themselves unable to put it down until they reach the very last page.
