Primordial Alchemy & Modern Religion
by Rodney BlackhirstOf all the traditional sciences it is alchemy--based as it is in metallurgy--that is directly concerned with the coming of the industrial order. In alchemical terms, modern man lives in the Ferric Age and his state is best analogized to the properties of the metal iron: hard, cold, unbending, but quick to succumb to corrosion and rust. The great ancient wisdom traditions of the world all anticipated this present age, for it was already implicit in the technological and other changes that brought on the dawn of history. These ancient traditions--dismissed as childish superstitions by the scientist--contain ideas essential to the self-understanding that contemporary man so desperately needs. This is the central contention of the writings brought together in Primordial Alchemy & Modern Religion. Drawing upon many unexpected sources--especially Plato and the ancient Greeks--these wide-ranging, generous essays provide timely reiterations of ancient alchemical traditions and trace some pivotal themes that have continued in the theology and symbolism of the modern religions. This work restores some important keys for the recovery of a lost heritage of primordial wisdom, offering fresh perspectives on aspects of the Western and Islamic alchemical traditions in particular, and at the same time exploring the most distant roots of the modern impasse. There are many hidden treasures to be unearthed in this eclectic collection. From astrology and alchemy to horticulture and architecture, these essays demonstrate Rodney Blackhirst's concern with the reawakening of the scientia sacra. This collection challenges us to understand the symbolic language of these sacred sciences. With this understanding we commence the alchemical transformation that returns us to our primordial state. -- Dr. Tim Smith, editor, Eye of the Heart

Y nada más llegar, imparte un curso de crecimiento personal para desarrollar el potencial, el talento y la creatividad de todos los trabajadores.
