Présentation de l'éditeur
Two thousand years ago the Roman world was weary, full of perplexities, tired of luxurious life, sceptical, bitter. And then from mysterious Egypt came the bright goddess I sis, offering solace to the rich ennuye, promise of future happiness to the beggar and the slave. All over the Empire were built temples to I sis the Great, Mother of the Gods, Ruler of the Heavens, of the Earth, and of the World below, temples with their prophets, stolists, and pastophori, their long-robed priestesses, their statues of the goddess bearing the sistrum and the cross of life, or holding the infant Horus in her lap. What was the reason of this extraordinary spread of an exotic religion? Plutarch gives it to us. It is that all beings must be aroused and liberated from the moral and physical state of torpor into which they are ever liable to fall. This liberation, this exaltation, the Roman found in the Iseum after he had ceased to find it in the temples of his own gods.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book delves into the profound paradox of human existence in the 21st century. While scientific advancements have brought remarkable progress, the author argues that it has come at a great cost, leading to a decline in spirituality, beauty, and the sense of wonder that once defined human experience. The author traces this decline to the rise of materialism and the concomitant loss of faith in the divine. This has resulted in a pervasive sense of unhappiness and despair, despite the technological marvels that surround us. The book draws on ancient and esoteric traditions to offer a different perspective, suggesting that the human soul is not a product of matter but rather a divine spark. The author contends that the true path to happiness lies in rediscovering the lost connection to the divine and in recognizing the essential unity of all things. This insightful book challenges conventional wisdom and offers a timely reminder of the importance of spirituality and the pursuit of beauty in human life.
