There is no reliable biographical information about the author Roy Jorgensen. He was likely a private writer operating outside academic or mainstream publishing networks. Essentially an independent thinker within the broader self-development milieu of his time.
A rare work of the late-1970s/1980s Human Potential period, blending self-mastery psychology with a personal-energy methodology and framed by the nature-centered atmosphere of California.
It seems the the work was inspired by the West Coast mind development movement, in which personal transformation, emotional discipline, and inner energy were understood as achievable through human-centered practice. Rather than aligning with New Age mysticism, Jorgensen articulates a secular, human approach to personal development, explicitly distancing his system from religion, magical thinking, or guru-based authority. Instead he emphasizes self-mastery, emotional control, and contemplative action that was attuned to a grounded branch of the Human Potential Movement.
