The author discusses spiritual transcendence and describes the steps needed to achieve a higher state of the self in order to reach Nirvana. One of these steps, for example, is mentally detaching from pleasure and pain.
That spiritual philosophy is a combination of Eastern religions like Buddhism or Hinduism and some Western elements similar to Gnostic Christianity. It’s called Theosophy.
