From the author's foreword:

"Connectedness, then, is at the root of an expanded consciousness and the expression of intelligence, wisdom and compassion. I believe that the current world problem is an inadequate connection of the animal nature with a guiding spiritual consciousness which provides a global viewpoint. A connection of this sort of any extent is what distinguishes the human being from the animal. Insufficiency of this connection renders a majority of people at our present stage of evolution little more than animals."

From the author's prologue:

"This primal and mysterious Universal Life-Force is seen to be the Great Connection between First Cause or Spirit and First Matter; between Fire and Water; between Inner Subjective Self and Outer Objective Space. It is the agent behind all alchemical transmutations."

From the author's introduction:

"Understanding through “higher” synthetic mind, then, is the key to esoteric knowledge, while differentiating through “lower” analytical mind (essential to proper observation and the acquisition of exoteric knowledge) must be subservient to the former. The “lower” mind tends to become entangled with the desires, emotions and senses, and as such is often unreliable when attempting to evaluate the significance and reality of an event. Desires and emotions distract, while the senses deceive. This emotional-mental activity enervates and breaks down the physical body and depletes vitality, whereas the integrating and illuminating power of the higher mind—the Inner Knower—invigorates and heals."
