Most spiritual impulses today can be traced back to the nineteenth-century explosion of esotericism. In The Transcendental Universe, one of the most enigmatic and thought-provoking works of the period, a mysterious and unknown figure—C.G. Harrison—examines theosophy from an esoteric Christian perspective. He identifies true gnosis and, with great courage, makes public much esoteric knowledge that had remained hidden within occult orders.
“...a most remarkable and fascinating piece of work. I'm delighted to see it being reprinted.” —Colin Wilson
“The re-issuing of Harrison's [work] is a felicitous and significant event. Written during the highest flowering of the Occult Revival of the nineteenth century, this work contains challenging ideas which all persons with an interest in the inner traditions of East and West will welcome. Admirers of Blavatsky, Papus, or Steiner, as well as those attracted to the gnosis of C. G. Jung or of the Nag Hammadi scriptures cannot afford to pass by this unique and interesting work.” —Stephan A. Hoeller
“Christopher Bamford has unearthed a. treasure of esoteric history: Whether one agrees with Harrison or not, one marvels at his inside knowledge of occult movements, his great intelligence and balance, and his vision of a 'Christian Polytheism' for the coming epoch. The masterly introduction and notes show that this solitary adept has a claim on us all, perhaps even more now than in 1893.” —Joscelyn Godwin
