Secret Classes & Reintegration: From the Élus Coëns to the Rectified Scottish Rite - Paperback

At the heart of the three texts gathered in this book resides an essential subject-we might even say the sole subject-discovered within every tradition, and particularly within Judeo-Christian traditions: we are referring to the path of the Body of Light, the Body of Glory, the Body of Immortality, the Christic Body-depending on the expressions used, all of which indicate a process of internal alchemy, inscribed, among other things, in the myth of the reconstruction of Solomon's Temple, often closely associated with a theurgy, whether explicit or implicit.

If myths work to modify our model of the world in order to make us receptive to "that which endures," it is the mythic structures composing them that carry the operative powers of the inner ways, a veritable language to be deciphered in an initiatory process closer to art than to science.
