Taken as a whole, this short work offers the reader an easy to understand introduction to traditions and ideas that have informed the world for centuries.” –Publishers Weekly “I have a standing rule: I read anything Richard Smoley writes.” –Larry Dossey, M.D.“Smoley … is adept at unknotting the paradoxes of spiritual traditions and making new connections across centuries and languages.” –Library Journal”He is one of the liveliest, most intrepid, and most gifted explorers of the spiritual landscape writing today.” –Ptolemy Tompkins, author of Paradise Fever”With scholarly precision, [Smoley] revisits Nostradamus, The Da Vinci Code, Atlantis, Freemasonry, A Course in Miracles, New Thought, and many other famed repositories of “secret wisdom.” Fair and clear-eyed, he communicates what his research unearthed in a surprisingly lively style.
