John Toland

A Modern Edition of the Mystical Classic Hermetic Philosophy Secret Society Handbook on External and Internal Doctrines of the Ancients returns for its 300th Anniversary "Tercentenary Esoteric Edition" revised and enhanced by prodigious mystic and scholar, Joshua Free. JOHN TOLAND coined the term "pantheism" in 1705, describing the philosophical paradigm of Spinoza - a doctrine that identifies "God" or divinity with the whole of the Universe - All-as-One. As revealed in the pages of the PANTHEISTICON, this Secret Doctrine, observing a "Universal Law" animating and acting upon all things, is actually one-to-one with an "Esoteric" Truth known among learned brotherhoods since ancient times - and it is not the same as the "Exoteric" truths vulgarly thrown about and debated on the surface world for the Realm of the masses. PANTHEISM is named for a "divine energy" imbuing and encompassing All Things and the "Cosmic Law" that dictates the natures of All Things and their energetic interactions with each other. This Truth exists at all levels - those we can observe causally and even those we only see effects from. It exists independent of human belief and whims of fantasy, yet is responsible for sparking both. It was observed among elite classes of the ancient world just as it has been carried forth into modern "New Age" systems via mystic traditions of Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, Illuminati, and in the case of this "wizard's handbook of John Toland" - the founding father of Antiquarian NeoDruidism. Other later noted public "subscribers" to this form of PANTHEISM include: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Georg Wilhelm Friedrick Hegel, Ludwig van Beethoven, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Leo Tolstoy, Robert G. Ingersoll, Nikola Tesla, Carl Jung, Albert Einstein, D. H. Lawrence, Ansel Adams, Alan Watts and Timothy Leary (among countless others). All of these folk made vast intellectual contributions and demonstrated an understanding of the Universe that required going beyond or outside of what the external or societal (mass) capacity allows: hence since the days of the Ancient Mystery School, "Esoteric Truth" has remained for the most part "occult" - "hidden" in the folds of those meeting in Societies outside the boundaries of the Realm. JOHN TOLAND published his PANTHEISTICON in 1720 (along with a related work CLIDOPHORUS excerpted in the appendix of this tercentenary 300th anniversary edition) with only a few copies circulating privately. The PANTHEISTICON is so relevant to NexGen Mardukite and Systemological paradigm studies that Joshua Free prepared this annotated edition to the public from within our private Esoteric Library Archives.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
