Reviews
The book is what it promises to be, the philosophy of Louis Claude De St. Martin. The English is old and not easy to read.
Reviews
The book clearly goes to show that St. Martin is taking a gnostic stand when it comes to how he looks at this world, compared to the other world, or the material and the spiritual world. As he writes:
This world, where we believe we are, but are not. The other world, where we believe we are not, but where we actually are.
He goes on to describe the fallen state of both this world, and the fall of man, and the importance of work and methods of how to regain the primordial divine grace, how to be a Gods minister while on earth, etc.
For the sincere Martinist will I warmly recommend this book, it's probably one of his best works.
Sincerely
