An esoteric and psychological exploration of consciousness, symbolism, and numerology by astrologer and metaphysical writer Sydney Omarr. Thought Dial proposes a system for accessing deeper mental and spiritual awareness through symbolic patterns, blending ancient concepts of number and planetary influence with Jungian psychology and modern self-help philosophy.
Published during America's postwar interest in metaphysics, astrology, and alternative psychology, this work reflects the mid-century introduction of popular psychology.
