Dualism: A Progressive Development - Paperback

by Steven Wightman (Author), Louis G. Sikes (Contribution by)

Dualism is the belief that two great, opposing powers-Good and Evil-are locked in an eternal war within and around us. It is humanity's oldest and most profound explanation for the existence of Evil: the unnatural force that denies us our ultimate goal of Immortality, and condemns us to our ultimate pain of Death.

Throughout history, all religions, societies, and sciences have been forced to confront Evil. From ancient shamans and priests to modern physicians and governments, humanity's guides have sought to define and defeat it. Yet, as this book reveals, Evil is not a "natural" aspect of the human condition; it is a highly real, artificially imposed force upon our world.

Dualism began as a conviction of the ancients, but over millennia, it has progressively matured into a religion in its own right. Tracing the trail of the Serpent and the Light from ancient Zoroastrianism, Gnosticism, and Pythagorean number-magic to the practices of the modern Western Foundation of Dualism, this book unveils the hidden history of a cosmic war.

In the past, seekers of the Truth had to decipher volumes of rare, esoteric texts to understand the evolution of the Dualist faith. Now, this comprehensive summation brings the history, theology, and enduring magic of Dualism out of the shadows and into the Light.
