The Primordial Tradition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511952927)

The author explores the tradition that is called the Wisdom Tradition, the Perennial Philosophy, and the Primordial Tradition which claim that there are some truths that originated even prior to the human being, and these are in all cultures, all traditions, all philosophies, and all religions. This is true, according to A.Huxley, Huston Smith, F. Schuon and other scholars whether it is recognized or not. The metaphysical aspects of this tradition claims that in the esoteric realm, like Plato's Forms and Ideas, in the Ideal Realm, there is "a Transcendent Unity of Religions" beyond the differences and conflicts that appear in the exoteric realm of the everyday. The author believes there is much to say about this tradition, but, as with Plato, Quantum Physics, and Metaphysics, the reality and the truths are beyond the experience of the human being, the realities of the everyday life of human existence, outside of the essence of nature and the organism of earth. There are forgotten truths, transformations, and underlying unity, as well as perennial philosophical propositions, but reality, in the authors view, is here and now, in the text of nature and the mother hood of earth, the original and habitat of the human being. So, being is more than having wisdom and metaphysical propositions about being; it is the reality of being which must include the experience of the human being-being human.
