Revised autobiography from the founder of the Coptic Fellowship of America, Hamid Bey who “by many scientists and students [was] considered to be an unusual, or superman,” but who believed his ability to put mind over matter, “unusual as it may be, [was] entirely the result of work and efficient training,” and that any ordinary person in his circumstances might have achieved just as much, “or perhaps more than I.” “[...] never until I met Hamid Bey have I found a man who not only is able to talk wisely, but is able to demonstrate as well as explain. I rejoice exceedingly in this pleasant change in my quest for wisdom. I have been convinced for years of the supremacy of the human mind—that the mind creates and controls the body—but this is the first time in my history when one man can prove this fact until there is no longer any shadow of doubt that this is the truth.” (Harriet Luella McCollum) A fascinating and unmissable read.
