"I've been a philosopher for all my adult life and the three most profound books of philosophy that I have ever read are Ecclesiastes Job and Song of Songs" These are the opening lines of Kreeft's Three Philosophies of Life He reflects that there are ultimately only three philosophies of life and each one is represented by one of these books of the Bible-life is vanity; life is suffering; life is love In these three books Kreeft shows how we have Dante's great epic The Divine Comedy played out from Hell to Purgatory to Heaven But it is an epic played out in our hearts and lives here and now Just as there is movement in Dante's epic so there is movement in these books from Ecclesiates to Job from Job to Song of Songs Love is the final answer to Ecclesiastes' quest the alternative to vanity and the true meaning of life Finally Kreeft sees in these books the epitome of theological virtues of faith hope and love and "an essential summary of the spiritual history of the world"

ISBN: Binding: Kindle Edition Edition: Author(s): Michael Eggleston Publisher: Number of Pages:
Initiation of the soul is a summary of the journey to awakening A Short Treatise on Esoteric Knowledge Philosophy Healing & Shattering the illusions of the false "Left vs Right" paradigms of control that have been in place for years to distract humanity from awakening
Straight forward & to the point written in a way that allows anyone to understand the information cuts through dogmas & preconceived notions in place to imprison the mind and allows the reader a glimpse into deeper Truths and the shift in consciousness now occurring
It is not a study or text revealing the steps to the Hermetic Science & Alchemy or just something one hopes will give them the keys to Enlightenment - you will not find that in any piece of writing There are many Books out there and the ones that come closest to giving the keys to the initiate are rare and expensive but even these books will not give you what you seek THAT can only come from applying the Knowledge learned into Direct Experience transmuting it to Wisdom This alone is a corner stone of the mysteries It is rather a piece of information to be digested by the mind of the reader that in one way or another will push the mind deeper to questioning the reality accepted by the masses & to do the work within that is needed for growth
