THE LORD
OF THE
WORLD
Rene Guenon
THE LORD OF THE WORLD
The Lord of the World is the true Authority on Earth and reference
to Him can be found in every tradition. He is associated with the
name Manu amongst the Hindus; Metatron among the Kabbalists;
and Melchizedec in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. His abode
is sometimes called 'Agarttha'; a place analogous to the
'Siddhashram' of the Yogis or the 'Shambhala' of the Tibetan
Buddhists. The idea of Agarttha often gives rise to wild and
imaginative accounts of secret underground cities and the like but
in this book you can discover what this place really is and how it
functions in the present time-phase.
The very real fact of The Lord of the World has been buried out of
sight in the West or distorted by supposing that the 'Lord' is an
authority solely of the material domain. The true Lord of the World
unifies both material and spiritual authority in Himself and is not a
satanic or even demiurgic principle. He is the very action of God on
this planet.
The Lord of the World,
by the great traditionalist, Rene
Guenon, has never been published in English before. The time has
come for this important work to be widely known.
'We must be ready for an immense event in the divine order
which we are travelling towards with an accelerated speed that
must astound all who watch. Awesome oracles have pronounced
already that the time is now.'
