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.
1926. A priest in the Liberal Catholic Church, Van Der Leeuw writes
that the pages in this book are based on an awakening of
Ego-consciousness that came to him in a single moment, but has
taken days to realize and many pages to describe. Contents: The
Drama of the Soul in Exile; The Way to the Ego; The World of the
Ego; The Powers of the Ego; and The Return of the Exile. See other
works available by this author from Kessinger Publishing.
