Tekst achterflap

Jan van Rijckenborgh speaks of the fundamental spiritual task all of humanity is called to enact: the Coming New Man. Offering a deeper insight from an esoteric point of view, the author describes unequivocally the current state of being of the nature born man, then with this as a starting point, brings to the reader a vital picture of the progressive steps that lead to reunification with the Spirit, to true liberation.

Often using the symbolic language of the Bible to demonstrate the universality and relevance of its spiritual message in our times, the author takes the reader on an inner journey, firstly through self-knowledge as a condition for genesis, then by unveiling the sevenfold path each neophyte must walk towards attainment, he concludes with a discussion on the gifts and faculties of the reborn soul, the 'New Man'.

The author clearly describes to the reader the complete path that must be awakened in the seeker, a path that emulates the one fundamental aspect of divine Love - sacrifice! Through the sacrifice of the self, and hence through the sacrifice for all of humanity, the author shows us how insight (the head), longing (the heart), and finally sacrifice (the hands), are the key to the inner awakening of the 'Coming New Man'.

Beschrijving

In our time there is a growing awareness that mankind faces a change. In The coming new man it concerns an overall, fundamental change, the development of the core essence in the heart. Giving up the ego and letting the soul core grow in the Light, leads to the new man, with a new consciousness. The author gives a magnificent insight in this great human opportunity. For those who are receptive for this, life will never be the same again after reading this book.
