GNOSIS, VOL.3: The Esoteric Tradition Of Eastern Orthodoxy--Esoteric Cycle
by Mouravieff, Boris
ISBN: 1872292127
Publisher: Praxis Institute Press
Available in English after thirty years, Volume III
of Boris Mouravieff`s Gnosis contains ancient keys
to a tradition of Christian esotericism that was
necessarily hermetized 1800 years ago and has
since remained unpublished, surviving to the
present only in unwritten form.
For students who have read the first two volumes of
this work, this final text will provide exact data
making it possible to solve many of the practical
problems attendant on spiritual practice under the
pressures of everyday life in modern times.
It also contains comments on certain related ideas
seen from a viewpoint so foreign to our present era
that it hints at a very different frame of mind from
the everyday ... so different that some people find it
hard to accept, although it unravels many of the
knotty points of theology and philosophy as well as
certain key problems of our day.
Great esoteric works do not argue with you ... instead they
leave an imprint on your being that is no less indelible for its
subtlety; once you encounter them, you will never see things the
same way again. To this list I`d have to add Gnosis ...
--Richard Smoley, Editor, reviewing in Gnosis magazine.
Translated from the French by Maneck d`Oncieu,
with the help of S. 8c E. Witkin.
Edited by Robin Amis.
