These wisdom-filled articles are gems offered us by the Russian
esotericist Valentin Tomberg (1900-1973). Written in the 1930s, at
the time he was also writing important studies on the Old
Testament, New Testament, and the Apocalypse, these early articles
presage Tomberg's later, more mature works on Christian
Hermeticism. This was the 'anthroposophical' phase of his life,
which ended during World War II, when he followed Christ's call to
join the Catholic Church in order to bring the Christian
esotericism of the Church of John into the exoteric Church of Peter
- a step that truly represented a sacrifice on the part of this
remarkable man. For in following this call of Christ to the
Catholic Church, Tomberg took the step of leaving his karmic
community-that of the anthroposophical movement founded by Rudolf
Steiner (1861-1925). This step was a fulfillment of the words of
Christ, of the Risen One, to Peter concerning John: 'If it is my
will that he should wait until I come again, what is that to thee?'
(John 21:22). These words relate to the task of the Church of John
to 'wait'-that is, to cultivate the esoteric teachings 'behind the
scenes'-until the onset of Christ's Second Coming, which began
during the 1930s, when they could begin to emerge by bringing the
esoteric teachings into the Church. For students of Christian
Hermeticism, these early articles by the founder of this new
spiritual stream reveal in particular something of the esoteric
teachings underlying the author's Russian spirituality. The
penetrating insights they offer are seeds that subsequently
blossomed in his later works. As well as being of interest to
students of Christian Hermeticism, these essays are relevant to
anyone interested in Russian spirituality and, moreover, to
everyone interested in esoteric perspectives concerning the present
situation of humanity. The author of this work was a spiritually
enlightened teacher whose care and concern extended beyond the
plight of the Russian people under Soviet communism to include the
challenges facing every human being in our time. Understood as a
manual for enlightenment, to be worked with meditatively over and
over again, this work is one of the great treasures of humanity's
spiritual literature-a priceless jewel for every spiritual seeker
in our time.
Examination of legends of the subterranean kingdom of Agarttha and
The King of the World in the light of traditional metaphysics.
Incidental subjects include Luz: The above of immortality; The Holy
Grail, Melkizedek, The Omphalos and Sacred Stones, and general
considerations on the sites of spiritual centers
