-WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW-
The visible world of nations, inventions, and civilizations has a history, one we can trace through documents. But there is another history, an occult one, for the spiritual world that the soul inhabits between death and a new birth. These two histories are not separate; they are inversely... |

Language is not a static collection of words; it's the living, breathing expression of a people's inner life, and its nature changes across centuries. Long ago, language was a vibrant force, intimately connected with the soul and even the body's own pliant energies. This older way of speak... |

-WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW-
Modern humanity is trapped dealing with dead words, the corpse of the Logos, because our thinking is so materialistic and intellectual. We cannot access the living Word without a deeper historical context. Early Christianity saw a struggle between Gnosis and Pistis. The Gnostics knew that ... |
