This tradition which  despite its hidden nature  was described by Professor Theodore Roszak of Berkley University \"as probably the single  most profoundly imaginative and influential spiritual tradition of European culture\"  exerted a seminal influence on the thinking of the builders of the great cathedrals  leading teachers in ecclesiastical schools  on philosophers  playwrites and poets such as Shakespeare  Goethe  Blake and W. B. Yeats  on artists and renaissance giants such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo and indirectly on all the generations of European Christendom for nearly one thousand years. It is also the root from which sprang alchemy and modern science. Any close and dispassionate examination of the facts soon discloses that spiritual insight is necessary and highly relevant to everyday life--more particularly in todays turbulent and troubled world. Indeed  it may well prove to be the key to the very survival of Mankind as a whole. Therefore  this book is dedicated to those who  despite appalling persecution  kept this spiritual tradition alive so that we in the twentieth century may benefit from its accumulated fruits and hopefully enoble our lives by emulating their courageous example.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952018911285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0952149311","price":316.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780952149316.jpg?v=1770148665","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-templar-legacy-and-the-masonic-inheritance-within-rosslyn-chapel","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
