However, unlike many writers on moral discipline, the author regards purity as the natural state of man, which has been obscured by passionate attachment to external artefacts. Once the waves of passion are stilled, attachment falls away, allowing the seeker to attain a transcendent purity of vision and thus behold the reality that underlies the illusion of change.

"When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears.... To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts...are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes...." (from the foreword by James Allen)

The first three parts of this work, "Passion", "Aspiration", and "Temptation", represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy.

The middle part, "Transmutation", is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life.
