Synopsis:

This book offers a compendium of spiritual doctrine spanning four ages and the hemispheres, and taken from all of the orthodox sources. It was originally inspired by what the author saw as a need for a "summa" of the "philosophia perennis". The book offers the reader a spiritual journey in which he will encounter, according to the author, the heritage he shares in common with all humanity.
