Self-Development and the Way to Power (Unabridged‪)‬

In this book, L. W. Rogers seeks to help you understand the role that pain and suffering play in man's evolution; how desire, will, and intelligence are vital for your success in self-development and how to develop them should you be lacking in them; why good motives, although important, simply aren't enough in and of themselves; how meditation both strengthens the mind and draws the very things you desire to you; the best way to start a short and effective meditation program; the dangers and futility of trying to obtain spiritual illumination through artificial methods; the role of spiritual teachers; and, how self-development results in tranquility, inner peace, and joy in this lifetime, for "we may be either the suffering slaves of nature or the happy masters of her laws."
