These concepts are taken outside of the context of religious philosophy to explain how these ideas should be revised to achieve a positive cultural outlook for the increasingly bleak modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArchetypes and mystical experiences possess an inherent immortal existence in the collective human subconscious. They are eternally existent in artistic symbolism and spiritual traditions. Part earthly and part-other worldly, these hidden forces interact with humanity by providing a primordial source for the creative facets of human existence that are channeled into the diverse range of spiritual, mystical, and cultural experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the strands of esoteric thought and gnosis provided in the teachings of perennial philosophy - a topic that has been predominantly associated with prestigious authors such as Carl Jung, Ren  Gu non, Frithjof Schuon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Huston Smith, and Aldous Huxley. \u003cem\u003eEternal Wisdom\u003c\/em\u003e aspires to expand on the existing corpus of teachings by advocating for the inclusion of polytheist cultural sources. Additionally, esoteric practices - including divination and the alchemy - are discussed within the context of perennial philosophy and the primordial tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gwendolyn Taunton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648766055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648766056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manticore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Gwendolyn Taunton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943518306559,"sku":"9780648766056","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1732a99b-558f-424b-bb82-ff81145e32f3.jpg?v=1681498564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eternal-wisdom-gwendolyn-taunton-9780648766056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
