Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Extract - The Feminine Universe - An Exposition of the Ancient Wisdom from the Primordial Feminine Perspective by Miss Alice Lucy Trent. Published by the Sun Daughter Press.
“When above the heavens had not been formed, when the earth below had no name, Tiamat brought forth them both. Tiamat,m mother of the gods, Creator of all.”
From the Introduction: “This book is the first systematic exposition of the perennial wisdom. It is an attempt to express in the clearest possible terms, and in the smallest possible space, the primordial philosophy accepted and understood in all times, and an all places before the aberrations of the modern world. It gives this philosophy in its feminine form - that being the earliest known on Earth.
Ananda Coomaraswamy described traditional societies as ‘unanimous’ societies: that is, societies not fragmented by conflicting factions and opinions, but united by a single, essential truth. And this unanimity exists, though often unrecognised, not only within all traditional societies, from the American medicine lodge to the Chinese temple, from the Siberian shaman to the Indian guru, from the Platonic west to the Confucian east, but between all traditional societies. Each one is founded upon the same essential, and changing truths, even though they may express these truths in superficially different ways. Each one is a unique expression of the Sophia Perennis, the primordial, changeless, and eternal wisdom, that is the common heritage of all humanity.
While many books have been written about this primordial tradition, this is the first want to expand its systematically in its salient features. That’s a loan would make it a book of the greatest significance, but within a very short space, this book does much more than that.”
While many books have been written about this primordial tradition, this is the first to expand it systematically in its salient features. That alone would make it a book of the greatest significance, but within a very short space, this book does much more than that. It also discusses the essentially feminine nature of the earliest traditions, and shows the importance of this in the development of the historical cycle, and its special relevance to the developments of the last few decades.”
