Journey into the Light : The Three Principles

This novel portrays the transformative encounter of the modern, scientific and rational mentality with the suprarational, spiritual intelligence that guides us on the Path of the Mysteries. Through dramatic dialogue and interplay between master and student, we are initiated into the realm of the spirit.

Isha Schwaller de Lubicz spent her youth studying Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Hebrew theology and mysticism. As pupil of R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz and later as his wife, she went on to investigate other religions and philosophical systems, including Taoism, Islam.
