How often do we not unreflectingly assume that we already know exactly what lies under every theological rock. And yet, through the eyes of a vibrant, inspired metaphysician, this terrain proves to be still largely uncharted, rich in mysteries as yet undiscovered. Most maps, ancient, old, or even new, soon fade; yet from time to time gifted “cartographers”—alive to the present while also fully trained in the work of their predecessors—appear among us, bringing to light new measures and mysteries from perspectives till now only dimly seen. Such charts from new vantage points were, in their time, drawn by St. Augustine, St. Dionysius the Areopagite, St. Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart, Nicholas of Cusa, and numerous other Christian thinkers. Today we are fortunate that a contemporary Christian thinker, Jean Borella (b. 1930), has followed the mold of such individuals through a series of major Christian metaphysical works. Borella’s work, however, is not well known to Anglophone readers—a condition the present volume aims to remedy, with a special emphasis on the needs of a broader audience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46726738280766,"sku":"9781621383970","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46726738313534,"sku":"9781621383987","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/BERARD-AMETAPHYSICSOFTHECRHISTIANMYSTERY.jpg?v=1757008189"},{"product_id":"christian-gnosis","title":"Christian Gnosis","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615579424475_30501\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615580491335_30258\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581256338_10533\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581571041_29645\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831542144_33807\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831885635_30808\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasing himself on Christian sources—literally ‘”from Saint Paul to Meister Eckhart’—Wolfgang Smith formulates what he terms an ‘unexpurgated’ account of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003egnosis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and demonstrates its central place in the perfection of the Christ-centered life. He observes, moreover, that the very conception of a ‘supreme knowing,’ as implied by the aforesaid sources, has a decisive bearing upon cosmology, which moreover constitutes the underlying principle upon which his earlier scientific and philosophical work—beginning with his ground-breaking treatise on the interpretation of quantum mechanics—has been based. The ‘fact of gnosis,’ however, has a decisive bearing on the theological notion of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecreatio ex nihilo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as well, and it is this imperative that Smith proposes to explore in the present work. What is thus demanded, he contends, is the inherently Kabbalistic notion of a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecreatio ex Deo et in Deo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, not to replace, but to complement the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecreatio ex nihilo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. This leads to an engagement with Christian Kabbalah (Pico de la Mirandola, Johann Reuchlin, and Cardinal Egidio di Viterbo especially) and with Jacob Boehme, culminating in an exegesis of Meister Eckhart’s doctrine. The author argues, first of all, that Eckhart does not (as many have thought) advocate a ‘God beyond God’ theology: does not, in other words, hold an inherently Sabellian view of the Trinity. Smith maintains that Eckhart has not in fact transgressed a single Trinitarian or Christological dogma; what he does deny implicitly, he shows, is none other than the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecreatio ex nihilo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which in effect Eckhart replaces with the Kabbalistic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecreatio ex Deo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. In this shift, moreover, Smith perceives the transition from ‘exoteric’ to ‘esoteric’ within the integral domain of Christian doctrine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46742195306814,"sku":"9781597310925","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46742195339582,"sku":"9781597310932","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/SMITH-CHRISTIANGNOSIS.jpg?v=1757008231"},{"product_id":"christ-the-original-mystery","title":"Christ the Original Mystery","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615579424475_30501\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615580491335_30258\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581256338_10533\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581571041_29645\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831542144_33807\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831885635_30808\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRené Guénon’s explication of the principles of an interior understanding of sacred forms has established his reputation in the West as the master theorist of esoterism.

Further, we find between these two a mutuality, even identity, in the Holy Spirit understood as “The Spirit of Wisdom” (Deut. 3:1). This Holy Spirit has feminine aspects also in the New Testament, as seen in such significant signs as, for instance, at the Baptism in the Jordan, where the dove (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eperistera\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecolumba\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) is a symbol of maternity, and in John 3:6, where it is made clear that the new, divine life in humankind is delivered by the Holy Spirit: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” The Spirit bears us anew, and in this function may be understood as Mother.

With examples drawn from both the inspired ambiguity of poetry and the depths of the Bible, Fr.

the Ages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Robert Bolton explains the principles that relate the modern world to earlier ages, and the position of our own era in a universal time-cycle, revealing the essential nature of time. He shows that time imposes patterns of its own on the order of events, which reveal themselves by numerical regularities. By means of a Platonic view of creation — which connects temporal with non-temporal realities — we come to see how man’s inner life holds the balance between these two kinds of objective reality. Connections are made between metaphysical ideas of time and the scientific idea of entropy, along with its varied applications. The last two thousand years are analyzed numerically in terms of traditional cosmology, making possible the calculation of our present position in a universal era, together with the time within which this era will come to an end. Finally, there is a review of the possibility that this ending may coincide with what Christian tradition calls the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLast Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and what

offers startling evidence for the existence of a mysterious Biblical code and the four keys that open its marvelous spiritual treasures. Drawing connections throughout the entire Bible, the book revolves around the keys of the four allegorical creatures mentioned in Ezekiel and the Apocalypse, the four collections of Old Testament books, the four structural clues at the beginning of each gospel, and the four sets of seven hidden symbols in each gospel. Unlike the Bible Code, which requires a computer to decipher, or the execrable Da Vinci Code, the genuine “code” behind the Gospels is hidden in plain sight. Offering a view that runs counter to the received wisdom of our age—which considers Scripture as no more than a haphazard collection of writings by time- and culture-bound human authors—the four keys enable us to understand the entire Bible as the systematic work of an Infinite Mind, and ultimately allow the reader to discern the deeper meanings of the life of Jesus Christ. “In his newest book, Dr. Olaguer contemplates the fourfold Gospel in the light of the Old Testament, and vice versa. The results are not only intriguing, but quite illuminating at many points. Drawing from the ancients as well as the moderns, Olaguer’s neo-patristic approach to sacred Scripture is not only clear and accessible to lay readers, but instructive and challenging for Bible teachers.

For this, the Sermon on the Mount informs us of our true nature and points our way.  If, in the old natural evolution, the solution was “you shall be as God” (by which the serpent meant “you shall be as God without God”), then the Sermon on the Mount promises “you shall be as God in God.” When humanity shall at last have understood this rightly, there will, according to Tomberg, be a new historiography telling first of temptations, deserts, errors, and the way of purification.

Tomberg does not tell us directly, but the text itself suggests an answer. Here he looks back to major themes of the two phases of his life. The first of these themes, the origin of law (see his \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Art of the Good: On the Regeneration of Fallen Justice\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), is discussed in this final book as a \"path through the wilderness\" such as he himself had to walk as a lifelong émigré (see \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eValentin Tomberg and the Ecclesia Universalis: A Biography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e). The second theme, the fundamental path of the soul in quest of personal certainty(see his \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePersonal Certainty: On the Way, the Truth, and the Life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, in press), he returns to as \"essentialism,\" which he now approaches from the perspective of knowledge as an analogical process steeped in symbols: the Jewish kabbalah, the Decalogue, the Names of God, the Catholic church, the meaning of the papacy, and much else besides. The choirs of the spiritual hierarchies receive fresh appreciation, in association with reiterated respect for the life-work of Rudolf Steiner, with which he had been deeply aligned during the first half of his life.

In the wake of the Pythagoreans and the Kabbalists  (drawing on numbers and geometry, and finding support in the thought of Kepler, Wronski, and others), he concluded that the Absolute is united with the Relative by human nature, making Himself a creature  (the God-man), while the Relative assimilates the Absolute through the seeds of absoluteness that God sows within it  (the purely human children of God). The result of their  mediation must then be to unite in a single body the God-made-man and the human beings called to share in divine life. This metaphysical anthropomorphism (the central idea that underpins the entire Kabbalah) was formulated among the commentators of the Zohar by the notion of Adam Kadmon, and is clearly nothing other than the metaphysical explanation of the dogma of the Incarnation of the Word in the Person of Christ or the Messiah. On the one hand, Christianity presents the Incarnation of the second Person of the Holy Trinity as an historical fact accomplished in the form of an individual of our human and earthly species in the Person of Jesus Christ; on the other, the concept of Adam Kadmon (without specifying when and in what special form the Incarnation of the Word takes place) considers God-made-man to be implied by Creation itself. It seems, then, that far from contradicting each other, these two points of view complete each other—i.e., the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ would be the special application, appropriate to our human species, of  a hominal principle emanated by the Word from the Beginning. Moreover, if (as far as the past is concerned) the Christian dogma of the Incarnation and the doctrine of Adam Kadmon can be isolated from each other, it seems that, for the future, they are closely linked, because just as the King of the Kabbalah has the Community of Israel as his bride, so Christ has the Church as his bride—and all the faithful, St Paul tells us, are members of a mystical Body of which Christ is the head.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51374334181694,"sku":"9798892800433","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51374334214462,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/WARRAIN-THETHEODICYOFTHEKABBALAH.jpg?v=1757008568"},{"product_id":"self-and-spirit-robert-bolton","title":"Self and Spirit","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615579424475_30501\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615580491335_30258\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581256338_10533\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581571041_29645\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831542144_33807\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831885635_30808\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615835833707_30888\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-5c026bff28ff44d09d38\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-20fa7bda27211a25f29d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1693853330444_460\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1693853330444_459\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWhat is the basis and purpose of esoteric religion, and what is the self? Self and Spirit answers these questions in depth and in a way true to the spirit of traditional wisdom. This latest book by Robert Bolton illuminates from a new angle the non-dualistic conceptions that have become influential through the work of many modern traditionalist and perennialist authors. For Bolton, a practicing Catholic, gnostic ideas usually taken to support pantheistic religion are shown to be able to provide a foundation for belief in a personal God. Religion is not forced into a preconceived system, because no attempt is made to evaluate all religious doctrines by the standard of one doctrine. Instead, certain profound ideas common to many traditions are invoked, these ideas being of a kind that cannot be identified with any one confessional origin. This in turn sheds new light on the dividing-line between the esoteric and the exoteric, allowing these ideas to combine in ways that are natural and free. The key to this new departure is the true nature of the individual self, a subject largely ignored by non-dualist thought. Here it is given its full weight, however, and its impact on all other realities is made clear. The relation of the self to its world is also here connected significantly to the cosmic role of religion, illustrating how a conversion from worldly to spiritual priorities can have consequences far beyond the personal concerns of those involved. Throughout, Bolton’s thinking is daring, yet true to traditional spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51621530894654,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51621530927422,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/BOLTON_-_SELF_SPIRIT.jpg?v=1757008427"},{"product_id":"keys-of-gnosis-robert-bolton","title":"Keys of Gnosis","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e“For a long time now, religion in the West has been polarized between a democratic kind of faith meant for simple believers, and divine mysteries so high that hardly anyone can claim to know much about them.  The vital connecting link between them, that of metaphysical religion, is all but lost…”  (From the Introduction.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615579424475_30501\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615580491335_30258\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581256338_10533\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615581571041_29645\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831542144_33807\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615831885635_30808\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1615835833707_30888\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-5c026bff28ff44d09d38\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-20fa7bda27211a25f29d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1693853330444_460\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1693853330444_459\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMany books try to answer the fundamental questions of life: Who am I?

It contains in highly condensed form a veritable library of traditional wisdom, offering a systematic reconstruction of our understanding of the soul and its relation to archetypal reality. Its starting-point is the fact that increasing numbers of people seem to lack spiritual and material power over their own lives. Modern man feels like a victim. But true power, real freedom, is closer than we think. Our mistake lies in accepting a false view of the self, and neglecting the metaphysical dimension that gives access to eternity. The book offers nothing less than a crash-course in liberation from the profoundly false notion of reality that is hold us in unconscious servitude to time and appearance. It’s profound philosophy of religion offers a radically enlarged idea of the self and its mediating role between God and the world. It shows how we can be agents of Providence, that our highest fulfillment lies in our archetypal status as the third member of the “Great Triad” together with God and Nature. It defends the capacity of our minds to gain objective insight despite the obfuscations of post-modernism. In doing so, it represents a bold development of the Platonist tradition associated with St Augustine, Plotinus, and Proclus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51621584339262,"sku":"9780900588839","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51621584372030,"sku":"978-1-59731-016-1","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/BOLTON-KEYSOFGNOSIS.jpg?v=1757008327"},{"product_id":"the-one-and-the-many-robert-bolton","title":"The One and the Many","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis recent book from Robert Bolton is an uncompromising response to an issue that confronts all shades of religious belief, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, because even for followers of non-dualistic Vedanta, the possibility of believing in a false God becomes greater, not less, as religion becomes more metaphysical. This is a challenge to the usual belief that religion must necessarily be more pure the more inward it is; and the reasons for this are presented with clarity. What is consciousness? What is experience? The answers to these questions are not nearly as obvious as common sense supposes, and this issue is also shown to be laden with consequences for religions that are based above all on experience. Ideas are presented that are a light in the dark for those concerned with the metaphysical dimension of religion, but who wish to find it in an open universe where they do not have to identify with just one form of theory, dictated too often by sectarian ambition. The author, a practicing Catholic, endorses traditional wisdom and its metaphysics while arguing against the ideas of some perennialists who wish to recast it all as a system of monism. The roots of present-day religious conflicts are to be found here, because demands for an absolute unity are in practice tied to sense-bound and political ideas of unity of a kind that must be obvious to almost anyone. When misunderstood in this way, the demand for unity always turns into a demand for violence because of the inevitable clash between reality and crude conceptions of unity.  As in his other books, Bolton helps the reader to a deeper understanding of the complex relations between God, the world, and the self, without facile reductions that eliminate realities we ought rather to be trying to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51621758959934,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51621758992702,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/BOLTON-THEONEANDTHEMANY.jpg?v=1757008534"},{"product_id":"esotericism-for-everyone","title":"Esotericism for Everyone","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEsotericism for Everyone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the second in an exciting new series of interviews with prolific French religious philosopher and metaphysician Bruno Bérard, whose work Angelico Press introduced to anglophone readers in 2018 with the publication of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Metaphysics of the Christian Mystery: An Introduction to the Work of Jean Borella\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

When the term was coined in the 19th century, all esoteric approaches—movements delving into the mysteries of life, the world, and God—were brought together under a single term. At that time the “twin sisters” of esotericism and occultism underwent a kind of paroxysm, which until recently cast a shadow over the true meaning of esotericism. It was especially René Guénon (featured in this book) who in the early 20th century worked to distinguish these two. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the last few decades, a great deal of academic work has been done on all forms of esotericism, from ancestral megalithism to modern philosophical gnosticism. But this historicist approach needs to be complemented by assessments and value judgments, and we need to know from what point of view these judgments are being made. Bruno Bérard’s interlocutor, Aldo La Fata, whose intimacy with Catholicism is neither occult nor excessively overt, offers the immense advantage of the kind of point of view sought for here. We will forget history then—“historicist history” at any rate—as well as esotericism as such, and instead seek through these conversations to perceive the presence of the esoteric hidden within the world and in the human heart.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51992500207934,"sku":"979-8-89280-122-5","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51992500240702,"sku":"979-8-89280-123-2","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8044\/7550\/files\/BERARD-ESOTERICISMFOREVERYONE.jpg?v=1757008263"},{"product_id":"the-broken-ring-jean-borella","title":"The Broken Ring","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis work is regarded as the founding text of a new epistemology and may be read as an introduction to \u003cem\u003eThe Crisis of Religious Symbolism\u003c\/em\u003e by the same author. It begins with a historical survey of theories of symbolism stretching from antiquity to the modern period, moves on to a critique of contemporary linguistic theory, and then turns to a ground-breaking structural analysis of the symbolic sign that uncovers a necessary but too long elided metaphysical dimension. In sum, it presents a theory of the symbol that seeks to restore, intelligibly, and in a way that transcends contemporary deconstructions, the ancient doctrines of both East and West. But make no mistake: this is philosophy, not ethnology. The symbolic sign is the nodal point of metaphysical thought, the place where nature becomes culture and culture becomes nature; that is, where being and meaning are reconciled without confusion.
