description: The Primordial Feminine Tradition To say that a book challenges all the assumptions of the current world is almost a waste of breath. Every other book published in the late 20th century makes claims of that sort- perpetual discord and dispute being the very fabric of a fragmented, ultra-patriarchal society. But, of course, all these 'challenges' and 'rebellions', feminist or otherwise, remain firmly within the mental economy of that society. Here is a book that really does challenge the whole system from the outside; from the standpoint of the original feminine wisdom that has not spoken for centuries. If you let it, it will turn your world upside-down or rather, turn it back the right way up. As the directionlessness of the modern world becomes increasingly apparent, more and more people are turning to traditional teachings such as Islam or Eastern religions. Yet to many women (and not only women) the strongly masculine or patriarchal orientation of these teachings can be a barrier. This book shows that all traditions are fundamentally dialects of a single Primordial Tradition which is ultimately feminine in form. Miss Trent expounds this Primordial Tradition. The words are hers, but the teaching is Eternal, for metaphysical writings made up of an authors original opinions are of no value for that very reason. Here is the first full and systematic digest of the timeless philosophy of Feminine Essentialism, including the application of true metaphysics to new circumstances, with which the ancients had no dealings. The application of the Hindu science of the three gunas in the analysis of modern cultural history, for example, is devastating. This is a book that not only clearly shows what is wrong with the current world, but also shows what we can do about it, to transform our own lives here and now, and ultimately to prepare the way for a regeneration of our unbalanced society.
