Invitations to Serious Seekers

SeriousSeekers is a meeting-place for men and women troubled by but still unresigned to the decadence they perceive beneath the veneer of the modern world. Such people are unwilling to give up the search for durable meaning, for authenticity, for Truth. 

Some may see the demise of earlier traditional forms as an inevitable evil, others as a necessary precondition for the awakening of the individual spirit. But in either case the guide on this journey of search and discovery is the Sophia Perennis, the eternal wisdom at the heart of all the world’s great spiritual traditions. 

The paradox is that the unifying thread of these traditions should become evident only when their separate tapestries have completely unravelled. Only then is the time for an elaboration of the inner core, or esoterism, of these traditions, the Wisdom Tradition, and our primary purpose is to offer material to meet just this need. 

But the Wisdom Tradition we refer to is not the Path itself, defined in its simplest terms as the earnest and sincere practice of a religion or celestial doctrine. Rather, it illumines the spiritual Paths, deepening practice in the light of the transcendent unity of religions while at the same time honoring the unique claims of each. 

The Wisdom Tradition can tell us what has befallen humanity and point to our positive, liberating, and life-affirming spiritual options as individuals. And it can find common cause even with the insights of many compassionate secular thinkers who address the crucial social, psychological, technological, and environmental issue of the day, giving the greater context in which common rolots become visible, in which new vistas are opened. 

The primary exponents of this Wisdom Tradition write with an intellectul strength and maturity far removed from desperate, simplistic fundamentalisms, and from New Age jargon, offering instead a wide perspective and an instrument of comprehension of inestimable value to those in search of a context for their misgivings, their critiques, their advocacy of humanity and its sacred claims.

The Wisdom Tradition loves us, chooses us. It wants us, both in itself as transcendent truth and in the forms of those celestial revelations, the world’s religions, which are its grace. It wills our Illumination, Salvation, and Peace, and that of the world, and it teaches us who and where we are. It is our music, our soul, our one hope time out of mind, our spiritual treasure. In the deepest sense, it is our very Self.
