About this ebook
The knowledge of the divine genealogy, that is the birth and evolution of those subtle forces which at the same time are the builders and organizers of the Universe, of those forces that mankind has always called the Gods, the creators of physicality and nonphysicality, all this has always represented for the Eleusinians the very basis of the initiatory Knowledge and their erudition.
The Eleusinian religion, unlike many others before the Christian era, was a purely “eschatological” cult, that is not based – as Mircea Eliade has claimed – on a cyclical time and on the endless repetition of events, but on the two cardinal principles of Arké and the Eskaton, the Origin and the End. Basically, it was founded on the concept of a sacred time regulated by the Horizon of Events, which, starting from the creation, leads to an end of time regulated by a prophecy and a final regeneration. Therefore, one can well understand the attention that the Eleusinian Mystery Schools have always given to the connection between divine genealogy and the path of man on Earth.
These schools have transmitted to us a diagram of creation that is unique and very different from all the others which derive from classical antiquity and the ancient Near East. Unique and distinct precisely because it is “eschatologycal”, that is incorporated in time, both in the divine and in the human time.
