1 Orientation. 2 The man of light and his guide. 3 Midnight sun and celestial pole. 4 Visio Smaragdina. 5 The black light. 6 The seven prophets of your being
'...is based on a penetrating analysis of the writings of great Iranian masters, in which Dr. Corbin sees the unfolding and continuity of the idea of color and light as symbols of spiritual development. The main theme is the liberation of the man of light from the point of departure of his reorientation toward the "Pole" of his being and the corresponding growth of a resurrection body latent in man's physical organism.'
