The Rape of Sophia Perennis

Notwithstanding The Provocative Title This Book Is Not About A Woman Or An Act Of Sexual Aggression. Sophia Perennis Is A Latin Term That Translates Into English As Wisdom Perennial. Sophia Perennis Is Also Known As The Eternal Wisdom Perennial Philosophy And By Other Names That Directly Refer To Ideas And Teachings That Focus On The Universal Underlying Perspective That The Nature Of Reality And Specifically Humanity Is Inherently Divine. When One Attempts To Teach This Wisdom There Are Many Opportunities For Confusion. When Sophia Is Used To Control Or Harm Others She Is Violated By Those Who Claim To Love Her; And That Is The Rape To Which The Title Of This Book Refers. I Wrote This Book For Those Who Are Ready To Take The Next Step Toward An Enlightened Life. The Book Is About Challenging Our Assumptions About Important Everyday Life Issues Especially Religion In Hopes That We Might Come To Understand That The Reality In Which We Live Is Not Necessarily Exactly The Way We Believe It To Be. I Will Quote Scientists Philosophers Clergy Saints Sages And More Who Look At Things Differently Than Do Most Of Us. In Exploring These Alternative Ideas I Hope To Assemble These Disparate Perspectives Into A Mosaic That Will Reveal A Much Grander View Of Reality. Another Intention Of This Book Is To Show Evidence Of A Growing Consensus Of Intelligent People Who Believe That Our Species And The Entire Planet Are Changing Evolving Expanding As Consciousness And What Might Be Called Spirit. This Paradigm Shift That I And Others Are Seeing At This Time In History Seems Like A Surge In The Natural Movement Of Human Consciousness Toward Transcendence And Enlightenment.
