In A New Model of the Universe, P. D. Ouspensky analyzes certain of the older schools of thought--those of both the East and the West. He connects them with modern ideas and explains them in the light of recent discoveries and speculations in the realm of physics and philosophy. He explores relativity, the fourth dimension, Christian symbolism, the tarot, yoga, dreams, hypnotism, eternal recurrence, and various psychological theories.

The book closes with an examination of the role of sex in the evolution of man toward superman. Anyone interested in the occult, mysticism and the relationship of those elements to scientific developments in the modern world will find much to ponder in these stimulating, thought-provoking pages.
