Salatiedettä Omin Päin

A collection of lectures written in the early 20th century. The book presents a series of explorations into esotericism, focusing on the practical psychology and spiritual experiences of individuals in their search for truth and understanding of the divine. Ervast discusses the allegorical nature of truth-seeking and the unique paths individuals may follow to uncover deeper spiritual connections. The opening of the work introduces the fundamental theme of seeking truth through a personal and experiential approach to esotericism. Ervast poses questions about how individuals can attain a genuine understanding of the divine and suggests that traditional reliance on the five material senses limits one's exploration. He emphasizes the importance of developing additional perceptual faculties—referred to as the sixth and seventh senses—necessary for grasping the complexities of spiritual life. This section establishes a framework that encourages readers to reflect on their own journeys towards enlightenment, underscoring the unique, subjective experience that defines each seeker’s path.
