Higher Psychical Development; (Yoga Philosophy) An Outline of the Secret Hindu Teachings
New York, NY: Dodd, Mead, & Company, 1920. First edition. Hardcover, Octavo. xvi + 296pp. Dark blue cloth with gilt titling, etc, to spine and front boards. Line drawings and 4pp of sepia plates. "Higher Psychical Development deals chiefly with the Hindu method of attainment - Bodily Posture, Breathing, Chants or Mantras, Meditation, Concentration, Unification, the attainment of Cosmic Consciousness. It tells how to awaken the Secret Energies of the body ... it describes the meeting with the Guardians of the Threshold - and what happens; it contains precise instructions for projecting the Astral Body. Two interesting chapters show the relationship of these facts to Occult and Psychical Science, and to our Western Science and Philosophy." Hereward Carrington (1880-1958), was one of the best-known of the British psychical researchers, and wrote many significant works on the subjects of psychical research and spiritualism. Titling on spine very dulled, a little leaned, covers lightly marked, edges dusty, otherwise a tight, clean, better-than VG copy in defective dust jacket (dust jacket largely intact, but split at folds, and with archival tape repairs to the rear. Now protected by mylar sleeve). Uncommon in First Edition. Item #62041
