{"product_id":"symbol-and-archetype-martin-lings-9781870196055","title":"Symbol and Archetype: A Study in the Meaning of Existence Volume 1","description":"Were one to truly understand the levels of significance provided by such symbols as are presented in this work, one would indeed be well on the way to grasping the nature and purpose of human life and the meaning of existence as understood by the great esoteric systems of spirituality. We are shown in this volume certain aspects of symbolism as they relate to the Divine, the hierarchy of this universe, the function of man, his faculties and qualities. Symbolism is defined in a renewed consciousness that everything--numbers, elements, senses, and colors--has a vertical dimension that gives it a divine significance. This book does not claim to be exhaustive. Its purpose is to enable the reader to dwell on certain basic aspects of symbolism in relation to the Divinity. With references to all the world's great faith traditions, both ancient and current (with special attention devoted to Christianity and Islam), Lings demonstrates how the science of symbols is inextricably linked with the path of Return.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Lings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1870196058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781870196055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fons Vitae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.75h x 4.75w x 0.52d","brand":"Martin Lings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930600751359,"sku":"9781870196055","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89110bda-d655-4b0d-ba79-e2306146dd2b.jpg?v=1766342962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/symbol-and-archetype-martin-lings-9781870196055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
