• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"The 13 Gates of Arcadia plants a sizeable time-bomb under the established channels of thought of the world we live in. Mirroring the perception of the unity of life, the author throws doubt on our traditional views, reveals the web of relationship underlying everything in existence, and offers a greater understanding of our true nature.

The 13 Gates of Arcadia lays the foundations for a deeper understanding of man's nature and his destiny. It includes a complete system of esoteric Knowledge and a different way of perceiving reality. At its core lies the age-old belief about the conflict, between the forces of light and darkness. However, in this primeval Mythological Circle, Good and Evil are not abstract, metaphysical notions. J.B. Valbere associates Evil with Fear and describes Fear not as a human emotion but as a dark, archetypal presence that creates disaster, misery, and death. This theory is subversive of what is hitherto known, as it connects theology with psychology, gives solutions to problems of the future, and provides a transformative paradigm linking the material world with the spirit, science with metaphysics and existential psychology with the most ancient myths.

The '13 Gates of Arcadia' will interest and help the general reader as well as the psychologist, the scientist, and the student of history. It is describing the formation of Universe through the primal Dream, the creation of Earth and humanity, the geological disturbances and the psychological consequences of cataclysms, the enslavement of human mind and the disruption of consciousness. It also refers to the Creation of Evil through the "Mirror of the Great Abyss," the Path of Evolution, and the possibilities for a spontaneous natural, and creative relationship with the World.

The '13 Gates of Arcadia' may well come to be seen as a classic of narrative nonfiction, not only because it invites a radical change in our view of human perception and social madness, but because its aim is to create a genuine revolutionary consciousness by fusing ideology and action on the levels of the individual and of mass society."
