The East in the Light of the West

Meer over het boek

The book provides an in-depth analysis of Eastern and Western esoteric traditions, focusing on Agni Yoga and the teachings of Alice Bailey. Prokofieff critiques the spiritual philosophies of the Roerichs and Bailey, arguing that their supposed connections to Helena Blavatsky's Eastern mahatmas are misleading. He posits that these figures have been misappropriated, leading to a distortion of Eastern philosophies and the emergence of "occult materialism" and politicized spiritual movements. This translation consolidates previously separate works into a comprehensive study of spiritual discernment.
