Book Summary and Introduction:
“The Science of Being and Art of Living” is a book written by Eugene Fersen, first published in 1927. The book is a study of the nature of reality and the principles that govern the universe, and offers practical advice for living a fulfilling and meaningful life.
At the core of the book is the idea that the universe is a dynamic and interconnected system, and that all things are connected and interdependent. Fersen argues that by understanding the fundamental principles of the universe, we can learn to live in harmony with nature and create lives of abundance and fulfillment.
Throughout the book, Fersen explores a range of topics, including the nature of consciousness, the role of thought in shaping reality, and the importance of personal responsibility. He offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality and offers practical advice for living a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Baron Eugene Fersen was the eldest son of a Grand Duchess of Russia/Poland, known as Marie Olga Alexandrovna Medem of the Royal House of Medem and DeLacy. An influential writer and lecturer, he came to the United States in 1904 to share his teachings and lessons known as the Science of Being. He founded the Lightbears Organization in 1921 with a mission to show people, regardless of Race, Nationality, Creed, or Belief, how to obtain the finest and best out of life Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually with abundance and Harmony in all three areas.
One of the messages of this book is to KNOW THYSELF. To That, Eugene Fersen wrote:
“This is a very old saying, and highly regarded, especially by the Greeks who laid stress on knowledge. So important that they had it carved in marble over the entrance of their temples.
It is through evolution of one’s own mind that knowledge is increased, and the more we throw the Light within ourselves, the clearer we see things without. We must be ourselves enlightened before we can enlighten others. Self-knowledge is the greatest knowledge; yet how few today realize that. We take so little trouble to study ourselves. There are thousands of scientists who study everything from worlds as a whole to microbes and don’t know anything about themselves. The majority that study outside phenomena know hardly anything of themselves.
If human beings would study themselves, that self-knowledge would give them the key to all else. As it says in the Bhagavad Gita- “the greatest science is the science of self.” If human beings through their highest representatives could have tried to know themselves, humanity would not be today a bunch of “could-be’s,” but “aren’ts.”
That is why we have that motto, for it explains exactly the Science of Being, it explains the aim, the means, and the law through which the aim is achieved. It shows us the start and gives us an idea of the finish. It is the most wonderful statement, which any human being could utter, and in taking the best of everything to join into one harmonious whole, we naturally took it.” – Eugene Fersen
