The accelerated program to achieve self-mastery developed by Marc Edmund Jones (1888-1980) stresses the clarity of personal functioning rather than an array of techniques. This book, written by a longtime member of Jones' group, the Sabian Assembly, unpacks many of the concepts. Focus is on the crucial importance of the individual, the patterns of expanding consciousness, how the mind works, the value of "cabalistic" explanation, and dramatizes the need for "subject point of view" in a world where we tend to think of ourselves as objects. There are even some simple graphics to clarify the central concepts.
