Synopsis

The Conquest of Illusion is an outstanding investigation of reality and how our perceptions shape it, by author, theosophist and yogi J. J. Van Der Leeuw. This edition contains his original illustrations. An eclectic work which cites relevant works of both Eastern and Western philosophy, The Conquest of Illusion aims to teach those in the modern world - an existence dominated by physical things and technological achievement - of a consciousness which has and will always exist. This essential mystery, scarcely penetrated by most human beings, is this book's central theme. Rather than be an intensive book of dense and philosophically rich arguments, Van Der Leeuw instead opts to inform the reader of his own experiences as a yoga practitioner. These intense experiences result in the book you hold in your hands, which aims to prove that what we outwardly perceive as real and tangible are quite different from the inner truths of time and space that underpin every moment of our existence.
