In those times it happened that St Anthony of Thebes left the desert and hurried to Alexandria to support St Athanasius with the weight of his moral authority – St Athanasius who became the standard bearer for the divinity of Christ.

Bhakti spirituality in Hinduism also exploded only after Christ, not due to any direct contact with Christianity, but possibly because of changes in the subtle cosmic environment resulting from the Incarnation.This is the sort of book you read and read, and then your brain is full and needs some time to digest what it's read. It is, without a doubt, one of the most magical books I have ever read and one could pass through several lifetimes reading this book and still not reach its core.

True Christianity, says the New Age, has been lost, or, alternatively, retreated to some esoteric circle. Using the 22 major arcana of the tarot deck as a means to explore some of humanity's most penetrating spiritual questions, Meditations on the Tarot has attracted an unprecedented range of praise from across the spiritual spectrum.This book is not about fortune-telling; the symbols from the Tarot are used as the starting points for a series of spiritual exercises intended to immerse the reader in the living tradition of Christian Hermeticism. At its best, it’s an externalization or extension of your own thoughts: instead of confronting the problem entirely in your own head, you’re putting a version of it down where you can see it, examine it, or even walk away from it.
