A bold critique of the spiritual schools, philosophies, and
mystical teachers of the 20th century * Examines newer spiritual
"systems" of the modern era, from spiritism and theosophy, to
parapsychic research and anthroposophism, to psychoanalysis and the
Church of Satan * Compares these newer spiritual "systems" to the
traditional spiritual path of the ancients and exposes the
misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and occult dangers lurking
in their practices * Also examines important modern figures such as
Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner, Dostoevsky, Freud,
Jung, Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti, and Anton LaVey Written two years
before his most prominent book Revolt Against the Modern World,
Julius Evola's The Fall of Spirituality was originally published in
Italian as Maschera e volto dello spiritualismo contemporaneo (The
Mask and Face of Contemporary Spiritualism). In it, the Baron
critiques the spiritual schools, cults, philosophies, and mystical
teachers of the 20th century--from spiritism and theosophy, to
parapsychic research and anthroposophism, to psychoanalysis and the
Church of Satan--comparing these newer spiritual "systems" to the
traditional spiritual path of the ancients and exposing the
misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and occult dangers lurking
in their practices. Examining important modern figures such as
Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner, Dostoevsky, Freud,
Jung, Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti, and Anton LaVey, the author contends
that their aspirations to power are limited to a focus on concerns
of the mundane world. They are thereby blind to the existence of a
supernatural reality that offers individuals transmutation from the
fallen human personality into a semigod-like status--a status
attainable only by those who can master the rigors demanded of
initiates on the traditionalist path. Offering an essential
guidebook for serious spiritual seekers looking for a more profound
metaphysical discipline than those of the spiritual schools of the
modern era, Evola also provides contrasting insights from the
age-old path of initiation and high magic.
