Die Seele des Menschen ist mit der geistigen Kraft des Universums vergleichbar, wie eine Blume zur Sonne. Eine vom Glauben beraubte Seele wird tiefer sinken als die der Tiere, da der menschliche Intellekt sowohl zur natürlichen als auch zur unnatürlichen Handlung befähigt. Das Buch behandelt hermetische Philosophie, Alchemie und die Prinzipien der Rosenkreuzer.

Die Anmerkung beschreibt, dass die von H. P. Blavatsky offenbarte Geheimlehre der indischen Adepten Parallelen zu den Lehren der deutschen christlichen Mystiker aufweist, die auch in der Bibel zu finden sind. Diese „geheimen“ Lehren erfordern eine höhere Weltanschauung zum Verständnis. Der Text enthält ein Inhaltsverzeichnis zu Themen wie Meister Eckhart, Yoga und die Seele.
