Hidden Wisdom: Secrets of the Western Esoteric Tradition – Tim Wallace-Murphy;
Hidden Wisdom: The Secrets of the Western Esoteric Tradition!

This hidden stream of spirituality and that of sacred knowledge are inseparably entwined to form the single most important continuous strand in the entire Western esoteric tradition. This tradition exerted a seminal influence on the thinking of the builders of the great cathedrals; leading teachers in ecclesiastical schools; philosophers; playwrights; poets such as Shakespeare, Goethe, Blake, and W.

Yeats; and on artists and Renaissance giants such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. It is also the root from which sprang alchemy and modern science. Now, as more people are looking to find information on the alternatives to dominant religions and dogmas that have told us what to think and how to behave, as faith has been questioned by religious scandals, economic meltdowns, and an increasingly sick planet Earth, Wallace-Murphy reveals the secrets of the masters, including invaluable spiritual insights into everyday life that have been hidden throughout the ages.

The first six chapters were written in a largely objective manner, which I appreciated. Then, starting in Chapter 7 the author's strong biases hijack the book in I really loved the first six chapters of this book. Then, starting in Chapter 7 the author's strong biases hijack the book in a manner that is both over-the-top and annoying. What starts out as a respectable, objective historical work suddenly turns into a bitter, scholarly rant against Christianity, The Bible, and especially the Catholic Church.

The entire tone and writing style of the book dramatically changes at that point. It becomes clear that the real focus of the book is an attempt to elevate ancient and alternative approaches to spirituality by tearing down the competition i. The author's bias is obvious in that he presents as valid any historical document that supports his ideas and then either ignores or terribly misinterprets documents and historical evidence that plainly contradict his arguments. Here is my personal message to the author: If you want people to study this stuff, keep it positive and leave your biased opinions and rants to yourself.

A more appropriate title for this book would be "Why Christians are wrong and everyone else is right".
