Bizarre...but jampacked of strange gematria, astrology, philosophy, theology, geometry all used to explain "God". Good luck on finishing this sucker! ( ) "Ancient Cosmology and Early Christian Symbolism" barely suggests the profound topics addressed in this wonderful book. Besides drawing out many of the continuities between the Pythagorean tradition and the Christian mysteries, Fideler's text demonstrates the span and depth of the idea of harmony as the metaphysical basis for universal brotherhood. There is a certain palpable sympathy between the doctrines expressed by Fideler and the elegant and powerful work of Buckminster Fuller, which becomes a matter of direct allusion in the final chapter with Fideler's appeal to "the Philosophy of Whole Systems." A great strength of the book is its host of illustrative diagrams, conveying the logos of the author's thesis in a more varied and powerful manner than text alone could ever accomplish. Jesus Christ: Sun of God is a master's piece, showing how its author can apply all seven of the arts and sciences to a single, essential topic, and encouraging any fellow craftsman to follow such a course to "the Invocation of Harmony and the Unification of Culture." Anyone interested in the real spiritual value of Christianity (or arithmetic!) can enjoy this book, and will be likely to learn much from it. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The early Christian Gnosis did not spring up in isolation, but drew upon earlier sources. In this book, many of these sources are revealed for the first time. Special emphasis is placed on the Hellenistic doctrine of the "Solar Logos" and the early Christian symbolism which depicted Christ as the Spiritual Sun, the illumination source of order, harmony, and spiritual insight. Based on 15 years of research, this is a unique book which throws a penetrating light on the secret traditions of early Christianity. It clearly demonstrates that number is at the heart of being. Jesus Christ, Sun of God, illustrates how the Christian symbolism of the Spiritual Sun is derived from numerical symbolism of the "ancient divinities." No library descriptions found. |
