Description
The Secret Teachers of the Western World by Gary Lachman Unveiling the esoteric masters who have shaped the intellectual development of the West, this epic study explores the hidden tradition that has been overlooked for centuries. From ancient Egypt and Greece to modern icons, Lachman delves into the Western esoteric tradition, a thought movement that regards the cosmos as a living, spiritual being and humankind as having a unique obligation and responsibility. The historical roots of this counter-tradition date back to Alexandria in the first centuries of the Christian era, where a synthesis of different ideas and visions took place, giving the tradition its eclectic character. This remarkable study offers a clarifying and accessible exploration of the Western esoteric tradition, revealing its significance and relevance in modern times. With a broad scope and fascinating insights, The Secret Teachers of the Western World is a compelling exploration of the hidden forces that have shaped Western intellectual history.
