Kingsley a Must-Read
"In the Dark Places of Wisdom," by Peter Kingsley, is an absolute must-read for any sincere spiritual seeker within the western traditions. It is an unveiling of a spiritual impetus that exists at the root of western civilization!
This is a study for those spiritual seekers who have left behind the way of the dilettante and the spiritual marketplace. Scholars, students, mystics, and any who are sincerely and urgently seeking their Source will find this work nourishing.
