The author talks about spiritual transcendence. It describes the steps needed to achieve a higher state of "self" called Nirvana. One of these steps, for example, is mentally detaching from pleasure and pain. That spiritual philosophy is a mix between oriental religions like Buddhism and some western elements similar to Gnostic Christian values. It's called Theosophy.
