| Summary: | The book demonstrates how Kazantzakis, like Carl Jung, living through dark and critical times, turned inward and heard the silent cry of the inner Divinity. As a Light Warrior, and an initiate of the Western esoteric tradition, Kazantzakis aligned his rhythm with the Universal rhythm, becoming an instrument of the Spirit of the Age. His mission, to spread a new religious paradigm and prepare humanity for the coming of the new Aeon of the Holy Spirit. Seized by the power of the primordial source, Kazantzakis conveyed to humanity that deep within the psyche lies a Divinity capable of liberating us from the shackles of matter and blind obedience to a false creator. He declared humanity’s independence from the tyranny of a static, monolithic, patriarchal God to whom we bow and kneel. Instead, he affirmed the divine origin of the human soul and surrendered to the grace of the inner Divinity. To overcome today’s spiritual crises and heal the fragmented soul, Kazantzakis offered an initiatory path rooted in mystical experience, one grounded in the felt sense of cosmic unity and the consciousness that arises only after transcending the opposites within the psyche. Only when we attain self-knowledge, transubstantiate matter into spirit and surrender to the embrace of the new Divinity can we realize our divine nature and achieve true spiritual freedom. |
