“Mr. Gordon writes about a mixture of personal experience and extensive research, and this book serves as an excellent step towards delving deeper into the rich Theosophical tradition. Readers will come away with a much broader understanding of the structure of existence – and humanity’s role in an ever-evolving Universal Consciousness.” * Marc Star, New Dawn Magazine, February 2014 *
