How does the individual relate to the health of the Church? Bernard provides a complex and satisfying answer, which is primarily based on his interpretation of St Augustine, the Scriptures and the Apostolic Tradition. In particular Bernard identifies the role of personal holiness and purity within individuals as the crucial means through which the Church undertakes reform. Bernard is clear that it is not systems or temporal power arrangements that make the Church more harmonious or more effective at holiness. Individual change drives the earthly Church to become more like the heavenly Church, the City of God. Such an overview also helps to make clear that Bernard’s mysticism is world embracing, and is about immanence, as well as the transcendent.

"Review of the epistemologically provocative book written by esotericist Gareth Knight. The book advances esoteric reasons for the coherence - of thought and idea - touched upon by J.R.R. Tolkien & C.S. Lewis & members of the Oxford literary group The Inklings.
There are radical arguments to consider; as well as themes connected to myth-making and mythopoeia, the relationship between consciousness and matter and the evolution of human perception through time (ala, the thought of philosopher Owen Barfield). "

In these tumultuous times, questions about progress, chaos, the notions around 'Obscurantism' and 'Enlightenment', about the effects of Cartesianism. About the "barbarism" that shines, and the Good with a capital letter. On social classes, and the implications of a society dominated by merchants. From philosopher Owen Barfield to historian Tom Holland, political philosopher Christopher Lasch and other researchers who, sometimes from outside the mainstream, have much to tell us about humanity's past, present and future.
