HIDDEN WISDOM: THE SECRETS OF THE WESTERN ESOTERIC TRADITION
Book ID/图书代码: 12844010B39356
English Summary/英文概要: From Egyptian mythology to Jewish mysticism, Rome and Greece to the druids and the gnostics, Tim Wallace-Murphy exposes a fascinating lineage of hidden mysteries and secret societies, continuing through the Templars, Rosicrucians, and Freemasons to our modern visionaries. This hidden stream of spirituality and that of sacred knowledge are inseparably entwined to form the single most important continuous strand in the entire Western esoteric tradition.
This tradition exerted a seminal influence on the thinking of the builders of the great cathedrals; leading teachers in ecclesiastical schools; philosophers; playwrights; poets such as Shakespeare, Goethe, Blake, and W. B. Yeats; and on artists and Renaissance giants such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. It is also the root from which sprang alchemy and modern science.
Now, as more people are looking to find information on the alternatives to dominant religions and dogmas that have told us what to think and how to behave, as faith has been questioned by religious scandals, economic meltdowns, and an increasingly sick planet Earth, Wallace-Murphy reveals the secrets of the masters, including invaluable spiritual insights into everyday life that have been hidden throughout the ages. He shows us who kept this spiritual tradition alive despite appalling persecution, so that we in the twenty-first century might benefit from its accumulated fruits and ennoble our lives.
Hidden Wisdom will be of immense interest to readers of the number one bestseller The Lost Symbol as it explains much of Dan Brown’s focus on the ancient mysteries.
Tim Wallace-Murphy is an international best-selling author known for his deep knowledge of Rosslyn, the Knights Templar, Sacred Geometry, and Rex Deus.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 从埃及神话到犹太神秘教会,罗马,希腊再到德鲁伊特和诺斯替教派,蒂姆·华莱士·墨菲以圣殿骑士团,蔷薇十字会共济会为例,为生活在现代的理想家们揭开这些神秘事件和组织背后的秘密。暗涌的意识流和神圣的宗教信仰相连,融合在一起组成了整个西方神秘宗教传统中最重要的一支主力。
这个传统影响了教堂建筑师们的思想;引领了教会学校的老师,哲学家,剧作家,诗人莎士比亚,歌德,布莱克和叶芝的思维意识,艺术家和文艺复兴的巨匠中,莱昂纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗琪罗也受到了此种意识的影响,同时,它还是社会力量和现代科学发展的根本。
现在,更多的人们选择自由地从社会中获取信息,宗教和教条引导我们思考方式和行为的局面已不复存在。信仰已经经不起宗教丑闻,经济崩溃以及日益衰败的地球的考验,华莱士·墨菲揭示了专家们的研究诀窍,其中包括贯穿于生活的敏锐洞察力。他还在书中描述了持有这个思想传统的人们曾经经受的可怕磨难,因为他们,生活在二十一世纪的我们才能从中获得收益,让生活变得更加美好。
《隐藏的智慧》一书引起了众多读者的兴趣,因此它也成为了一本畅销书。正如我们从《消失的符号》中看到的一样,丹·布朗也对古代神秘事件投入了巨大的关注。
蒂姆·沃雷斯·墨菲是国际畅销书作家,以《罗斯林》,《圣殿骑士》,《神圣几何》及《主宰的上帝》中流露出的深刻思想而著名。(兼职翻译-PXD)
