Sinopse
Características

For a long time now, religion in the West has been polarized between ademocratic kind of faith meant for simple believers, and divine mysteriesso high that hardly anyone can claim to know much about them. The vitalconnecting link between them, that of metaphysical religion, is all butlost... (From the Introduction.)There are many books that seek to answer the fundamental questions of life:Who am I? Does life have a purpose? How should I live? Dr Boltons bookbrings to these universal questions an extraordinary degree of metaphysicalinsight. It contains in highly condensed form a veritable library oftraditional wisdom, offering a systematic reconstruction of ourunderstanding of the soul and its relation to archetypal reality. Itsstarting-point is the fact that increasing numbers of people seem to lackspiritual and material power over their own lives. Modern man feels like avictim. But true power, real freedom, is closer than we think. Ourmistake lies in accepting a false view of the self, and neglecting themetaphysical dimension that gives access to eternity.Dr Boltons book offers a crash-course in liberation. It can liberate us,specifically, from a common sense idea of reality which is profoundlyfalse, and which holds us in unconscious slavery to time andappearances. The book defends the capacity of the human mind to obtainobjective insight, despite the obfuscations of postmodernism, andrepresents a bold development of the Platonist tradition associated with StAugustine, Plotinus, and Proclus.This book is like a diamond: a diamond placed not in a necklace, but atthe business end of a drill. It is up to us to use the drill to penetratereality. Writing the book was a great achievement. Reading it invites usto make the achievement our own. - Stratford Caldecott (G.K. ChestertonInstitute for Faith & Culture)
