This passage is from the section Arcana of Adar or Persistence<\/strong> from Jos\u00e9phin P\u00e9ladan’s book Comment on devient Mage<\/em>. P\u00e9ladan was a devout Catholic as well as a Hermetist. Yet he recognizes that the Catholic faith makes sense only if it is the Primordial Tradition. All truth must be incorporated in it. The idea of a monument to the greatest thinkers of the past brings to mind the Great Being of August Comte, even if he never quite grasped the full significance of his discovery.<\/p>\n
