This book introduces a method for retrieval and development of essence, so that it can function as a transformative agent in the process of self realization. In the course of this movement toward realization, the stabilized manifestation of the qualities of essence leads to a surprising and unusual resolution of an age-old dichotomy, an unexpected redemption of the personal the realization of the pearl beyond price, described in Chapter Five, constitute a resolution of the apparent conflict between the life of the man of the world and that of the man of the spirit.
