'Thinking and Destiny' is first and foremost a tough read at over 1,000 pages. If you were to start with the philosophy of Nietzsche and then combine it with Theosophy, Hinduism and Buddhism you would be half way there. Where this philosophy separates itself is in its addition of Masonic numerology to describe the afterlife/consciousness and structure of the The Realm of Permanence/Heaven/Nirvana. It is a creative, honest attempt to explain the meaning and cycle of life.
Personally, I think some of the beliefs are a bit tough for me to accept, but who knows. Percival seems to indicate this book was dictated while he was in an altered state, which is fine. It certainly is deep enough and does present some unique concepts. It is the life's work of a highly educated, dedicated person who appears sincere in his beliefs. Much like Szekely who translated the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' and then set up an organization to make sure they were available for $1 in perpetuity, Percival set up 'The Word' foundation to make sure this book would be available for free (download it here https://thewordfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Thinking-and-Destiny-by-Harold-W-Percival-fourteenth-printing.pdf) forever.
When you think about it, 1,000 pages is actually economic when compared to how much you would have to read to get the main concepts of Nietzsche, Theosophy, Hinduism, Buddhism and Freemasonry. If reading this much is not your thing simply watch the movie 'What Dreams May Come' and you will get most of what this book is about. Alternatively, reading the book 'The Path' will accomplish much the same. All things considered I would recommend reading this book.
