{"product_id":"the-good-the-bad-the-adamai-philotunus-9780904311211","title":"The Good The Bad The Funny: de Arcano Nostrae Sanctissimae Mirabilisque Trinitatis","description":"\u003cp\u003eDualistic thinking presents us with a profound problem. The basic polarity of Good\/Bad is the driving force behind most human conflict, where a potentially fertile opposition crystallizes into enmity and the enemy becomes a \"demon\", totally evil and no longer qualified for human compassion or understanding. This is widely recognised, and the traditional response is a \"call to unity\" - either in the form of a return to common basics, or an advance towards an higher synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a different approach. It argues that unity, even in the form of a higher synthesis, is in essence a backward step that sacrifices the potential energy of duality for the peace and stasis of unity. What is really needed is a move forward: from dualistic to trinitarian thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis approach is literally a \"solution\". It is to seek a \"third principle\", an analog of Mercury or the \"Universal Solvent\" that transforms a polarised and frozen duality into a flowing and dynamic trinity. Pure conflict becomes transformed into a dance, or game. It is to ask the question \"how differently would we see this situation if we had been brought up in a theology of God, Devil and Trickster (The Good The Bad The Funny)?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea is explored in depth, as a philosophy, as a psychology, as a practical way to heal the divisions in society and in our selves. The book provides practical suggestions for further work, including an entire revolutionary magical system based on a trinitarian instead of the traditional fourfold model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreviously only circulated in manuscript form to a select circle of friends, this first public edition includes the full account of Ramsey Dukes' infamous \"Cybermass of Thrice Greatest Data-Hermes\". 285 pages with five chymical plates by Louise Hodson plus over 60 diagrams in text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adamai Philotunus, Ramsey Dukes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 090431121X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780904311211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mouse That Spins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Adamai Philotunus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129748943103,"sku":"9780904311211","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60569503-f366-4ad8-aab6-bd2bf3b4aa9f.jpg?v=1687465597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-good-the-bad-the-adamai-philotunus-9780904311211","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
