“This is an extraordinary book. The Hellenes had a profound understanding of our deep roots, our cosmic roots, and especially our spiritual roots. As a philosopher, I can affirm that Mr Marrero has changed the perspective we all had on Greek philosophy. A must read.”

— Roger Savoie, PhD., philosopher and author, La Lipere et le Lion: La Loie radieale de la Spiritualite

“Your writings remind me of the work of Blavatsky or Gurdjieff, but instead of looking East, you uncover that same mystic ground in the West.”

— Norman (). Brown, Phd., UCSC Philosophy Chair, author of lire’s Body; Life Against Death

“How do you learn psychology?”

“There are three ways,” [Dr. Fritz Kunkel] said.

“One way is to read all the ancient Greek mythology, because it is all right there. A second way is to read the collected works of Carl Jung. And the third is to wait and watch…”

— Robert A. Johnson, Balancing Hearen and Earth

The Hellenic myths have been “refreshed” many times, the most significant “enlightening” came when Orpheus retold the common tales and gave these archetypal allegories a captivating depth and theological significance. In these pages, you will not find an intellectual revisiting of the Hellenic myths, nor a new, post-modern twist upon these ancient themes. Rather, what is to be discovered herein is a sober confrontation, a serious call to an uncommon maturation. Sophos or wisdom, always comes with such demand. And Sunlight alludes to the en-I jght-ened View standing ecstatically outside the egocave of opinion and every point of view. Consider yourself thus apprised. Breathe deeply. Come, come, come.

Sophos

The ancient Hellenes observed that a sound that is too repetitive would soon not be noticed. That which is closest to us is quickly lost in familiarity, they observed. As a Westerner, I am moved to share a sacred inheritance that is hardly recognized by us, invisible in its closeness. The spiritual origin of logical thinking is often overlooked or negated by the immature, cunning mind.

The divine knowledge which inspired the West is exalting and liberating to what is un-limited, like many of the other ways of knowing in the Great Tradition of humanity’s wisdom, but with the added advantage that it is already encoded in Western psyches and in the form of our culture. This intimacy makes Hellenic wisdom eminently recognizable and spiritually usable as we re-discover and remember our original religious truth.

“Fools are those,” Heraklitos exclaimed, “that are not in constant intercourse with their own nature.” Westerners need not look only to the East for high spiritual issues. The ancients of the West have left Westerners a legacy of truths in dearest terms — one that transmits the arc from Becoming to supreme Being, from myth and facts to formless Truth: the freely Loving, Self-Existing Bright One. Our Unconditional Reality shines in inherent happiness, divine beauty, and intrinsic consciousness; we find ourselves already in the changeless Substance of supreme Being’s ecstasy. We breathe True Happiness and nectars of divinity; we fall in Love, the unlimited Divine Ground Itself, shining in every beauty and crying in every twist. Sunlight wisdom enlightens the bright Truth and free Being that Is coincident with the infinity of forms which make up the Kosmos.
