Preface for "On Solar Paths" ["Sur les Sentiers Solaires"] by Paul VIncent

Paul Vincent has written a book that takes the reader to distant lands and ways of life that are normally thought of as, at best, representing legendary or mythological truths. Yet, the author supports his argument of their historicity with a formidable amount of interesting research and impeccable logic. The title of the book, Sur Les Sentiers Solaires, is indicative of the book’s underlying theme, which is that since the beginning of human time, humankind has always been pre-occupied with finding a relationship with the Source, symbolized by the sun, the visible centre of the solar system and the source of life. In antiquity and beyond, humankind has always lived in two worlds, that of God and the gods, and that of the everyday life as we live and know it. What is particularly relevant is the fact that worldly life at that time was generally not divorced or alienated from the inner world, but directly influenced by a conscious relationship to it. Perhaps better said, we need to learn today that the outer world is nothing but a reflection of the world within and what we produce externally is a direct manifestation of the psychological and spiritual state of our psyche.
