The first half of the book is devoted to getting the principles right. This concerns a proper distinction between magic and mysticism, natural and revealed religion, and monism and theism. The book's second half deals with occult science, spiritual alchemy, and spirit communication with non-human entities, angelic or elemental. It delves into the Tree of Life, The Cabala, and the Cosmic Doctrine. The later part of the book discusses magical practices. It also includes in-depth discussions regarding practical exercises that serve as the student's instruction.

A course in Qabalistic Magic, providing a comprehensive overview of the history and practice of magic. Includes practical exercises and methods of inner plane communication. Experience of the Inner Worlds is a classic magical textbook of the Western Mystery Tradition. Gareth Knight explains the difference between magic and mysticism, natural and revealed religion, monism, and theism, covering a wide range of topics within a Christian-oriented Qabalistic framework. He also covers the practicalities, examining methods of inner plane communication, contact with the Masters, the 'consciousness' approach of Carl Jung, the vision of Dante, and the archetypal power of the Hebrew alphabet - all within the context of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The book also contains powerful visualization exercises and examples of communication with angelic and elemental contacts. While this book can be used as a course of self-instruction, it is also an essential modern reference book of magical theory and practice and has been used for decades by students of Western Qabalah and magic.

The overall condition of this book is very good, considering its age. It does have some normal shelf wear and age; most notable would be the dust jacket which displays some regular rubbing, and it has a few creases that run diagonally down the cover. The pages are clean and very well kept, and the book beneath the jacket is stunning.
