I had always assumed that it was for political and pecuniary ends in the so-called Renaissance and subsequent - equally misnamed 'Age of Reason' that the Western World had gone awry, but - along with his 'Ancient Philosophy, Mystery and Magic' and his read of Parmenides in 'In the The Dark Places of Wisdom' - if Kingsley is even half way right, we've been completely off the track for far longer than that.

The mystical tradition that lies at the root of Western culture and the magic of the ancient masters of wisdom who laid the foundations for the world we now live in are introduced in this book. Containing lost and forgotten ancient Greek texts in modern translation, this book relates the teachings of Parmenides, Empedocles, and others like them--spiritual guides and experts in other states of consciousness, prophets and magicians, and healers and interpreters of dreams. Based on texts from more than 2,000 years ago, it also documents the process that led to their work and teaching being distorted, covered over, and forgotten.
