Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin was originally a high initiate in
Martinez de Pasqually's 'Ordre des Chevalier Ma ons lus Cohen de
L'Univers', better known as 'Elus Kohen', a theurgic order
dedicated to human salvation through High Magic. The group
maintained a Gnostic-like belief that human souls had become
trapped in material bodies at the Fall, and that Jesus - the 'Great
Repairer' - had come to return humanity to its original estate.
While agreeing with the fallen state of Man and the material world,
Saint-Martin became disillusioned with Elus Kohen magical
practices, and formulated his own 'Path of the Heart' a mystic,
meditational technique for achieving the same ends. 'Man, His True
Nature and Ministry' is St Martin's most important exposition of
this philosophy, and his method of regaining the primordial divine
grace. First published in 1802, it was also Saint-Martin's last
work - he died the following year.
