The Soul and Its Mechanism: The Problem of Psychology

A seminal work in the 'New Age' movement that attempts to bridge the gap between Western psychology, Eastern philosophy, and biology. Alice Bailey, through her claimed telepathic link with the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul, outlines a system where the human soul works through the 'mechanism' of the etheric body and the endocrine system. The book is particularly famous for its detailed mapping of the seven major chakras (force centers) to the major endocrine glands, arguing that physical health and psychological states are directly influenced by the flow of soul-energy through these centers.
