This monumental work provides a detailed comparative examination of the beliefs, practices, and magical traditions of Akkadian, Hindu, Taoist, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Christian, Mohammedan, Japanese, and other cultures.

Flagg examines the practices of yoga in Hinduism, the mysteries of the Tao in Taoism, the mystical rituals of ancient Egypt, the esoteric teachings of Kabbalah in Judaism, the Greek mysteries, the Christian path of salvation, the mystical aspects of Islam, and the spiritual practices of Japanese culture, among others.

Furthermore, Flagg offers insightful commentary and analysis, highlighting both the similarities and differences between these diverse traditions. He provides readers with a deeper understanding of the universal quest for spiritual transformation and the unique approaches each culture has taken to achieve it.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints.
