The Traditionalist or Perennialist School of metaphysics,
esoterism, and comparative religion, 'founded' by Ren Gunon and
Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, and carried on by such figures as Frithjof
Schuon, Titus Burckhardt, and Martin Lings, produced a body
doctrine of rare depth and comprehension, effectively
re-introducing to the modern and postmodern West the perennial
wisdom of the human race. For the past twenty years, the author has
immersed himself in these teachings, and made his own modest
contribution to them. The three fundamental pillars of 'classical'
Traditionalism / Perennialism are, (1) That God has sent more than
one revelation to humanity, established more than one version of
the Path by which the spiritual traveler may return to Him, each
revelation being a providential branch of the great tree known as
the Primordial Tradition; (2) That while certainly there is a
Sophia Perennis, a unanimous and perennial wisdom given by God and
transmitted from the dawn of humanity down to the present day,
there cannot in our time be a Religio Perennis, a single universal
doctrine and practice based on the Primordial Tradition;
consequently the seeker must seek his vehicle among one of the
living orthodox revealed traditions, not in some "revival" of a
universal faith, or the fragments of it, from ages dead and gone;
(3) Given that the present cycle of manifestation is rapidly
approaching dissolution, the seeker's perennial duty to break
identification with the system of collective egotism known as This
World, and give his allegiance to God Alone, must now be seen in
light of the fact that This World is about to end. Some presently
associated with the Traditionalist/Perennialist School, however, no
longer hold to "classical Traditionalism/Perennialism" as I have
defined it. I have written this book partly to articulate some of
the basic tenets of the first two generations of the Traditionalist
School, so as to provide interested readers with a relatively
stable point of reference that will hopefully allow them to see
just how, and how much, that School has changed in the first years
of the 21st century.
