Discussing mysticism today. Takes as "key issues:, perfection, grace, occultism - noting that the three most famous advocates (Rudolf Steiner, Annie Besant, and Ernest Wood) repudiated the "occult". Compares Esotericism, Theosophy, and other forms of truth-seeking.

The "mission of mysticism" is stated: "in God's universe nothing is without purpose, and it is the destiny of science to ahieve perfect unity with mysticism in the creation of our mystical descendants, who, after Homo sapien has show more gradually been replaced by Homo christus, will be nothing other than ourselves, mystical-scientific architects of the new human nature which first walked the earht in the person of Jesus Christ, who is our gateway and our bridgehead to our inexpressibly glorious metamorphosis."
