This book contains a collection of small-format works by the author, written over the past 20 years, dedicated to the amazing manifestations of the human spirit and various aspects of the spiritual path and self-knowledge. They cover a variety of issues of esoteric knowledge – from “entertaining” (the adventures of Count Cagliostro in St. Petersburg) to spiritual-religious and serious scientific-esoteric (comparative analysis of the Rigveda and the Bible, the formation by man of the antahkarana, or rainbow-energy bridge connecting bodies personality and soul), and many others. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the problems of spiritual comprehension of life and reality.
