The basic polarity of Good\/Bad is the driving force behind most human conflict, where a potentially fertile opposition crystallizes into enmity and the enemy becomes a \"demon\", totally evil and no longer qualified for human compassion or understanding. This is widely recognised, and the traditional response is a \"call to unity\" - either in the form of a return to common basics, or an advance towards an higher synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a different approach. It argues that unity, even in the form of a higher synthesis, is in essence a backward step that sacrifices the potential energy of duality for the peace and stasis of unity. What is really needed is a move forward: from dualistic to trinitarian thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis approach is literally a \"solution\". It is to seek a \"third principle\", an analog of Mercury or the \"Universal Solvent\" that transforms a polarised and frozen duality into a flowing and dynamic trinity. Pure conflict becomes transformed into a dance, or game. It is to ask the question \"how differently would we see this situation if we had been brought up in a theology of God, Devil and Trickster (The Good The Bad The Funny)?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea is explored in depth, as a philosophy, as a psychology, as a practical way to heal the divisions in society and in our selves. The book provides practical suggestions for further work, including an entire revolutionary magical system based on a trinitarian instead of the traditional fourfold model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreviously only circulated in manuscript form to a select circle of friends, this first public edition includes the full account of Ramsey Dukes' infamous \"Cybermass of Thrice Greatest Data-Hermes\". 285 pages with five chymical plates by Louise Hodson plus over 60 diagrams in text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.14 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 08, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42129715691655,"sku":"9780904311105","price":21.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/3e40d0c3b43d9084fdd799543d083516.webp?v=1732605188","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-good-the-bad-the-funny-de-arcano-nostrae-sanctissimae-mirabilisque-trinitatis-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
