Editorial Reviews

Review

The words in Cathedral Of The New Age are sweeping, the message is spiritual and vibrant. The authors speak to on one religion, but to the good to be found in all. This reviewer found peace, hope and compassion, three major stepping stones on the path to enlightenment. --Richard Fuller, Metaphysical Reviews

If one's sense of the divine needs a little passion refresher - free from the revivalist's fearsome restraints - the 12 spiritual poems and corresponding artwork in this volume may rev you up. The words of Cathedral Of The New Age are sweeping; the message is spiritual and vibrant. The authors speak to no one religion, but to the good to be found in all. This reviewer found peace, hope and compassion, three major stepping stones on the path to enlightenment. --The NAPRA Review

From the Publisher

With these words, The Generic Institute will soon introduce itself to the reading public. A public, at this, the close of the millennia, more than ready to cast aside the binding shackles of conventional, fear-based thought: the controlling, manipulative force that debilitates all areas and endeavors of human life. A public at last eager, and finally willing to embrace the one, inescapable possibility that there are, in fact, endless possibilities, and hence, no limits to the heights to which the human spirit can ascend. As the era closes, there exists a spirit of 'mass re-evaluation', a re-thinking of subjects once deemed unassailable, even taboo, by their very character; the origin of God, the true nature and purpose of Humanity, the immortality of the soul, just to name a few of the most volatile.

It is just subjects such as these, these 'New Age' musings, which the authors of The Generic Institute have tackled head-on, and with renewed vigor and sense of purpose. 'Generic' because these writers adhere to no one religion, but seek the good that is to be found in all. 'Generic', because they are skewed neither to the left or the right in any of the areas that most concern the human creature/divine be they matters religious, political, social, economic, or of course, those of the higher, spiritual level. 'Generic' because they willingly choose not to sign their works ('Louis Ellenwood Barlowe' is, for lack of a better term, a 'group pseudonym', representing in fact, several poets and writers). This, to avoid any one personality being to readily associated with any singular mode of thought, or style of expression, for each author agrees that the importance of the words outweighs that of the speaker, whomever he or she may be. Those words are more important than any other factor, for it is through their writings do the various writers covey their deepest convictions, and introduce their boldest (though certainly not newest, in any sense) thoughts to the reader.

Nor do the authors of the Generic Institute claim complete originality in the ideas presented, for, as it has been stated, these beliefs are most certainly not new. The thoughts presented in these works, are indeed very, very old, rooted in the most ancient schools of enlightenment, erudition and thought, going back to the earliest, most advanced civilizations this world has ever known or can even recall, crossing all cultures and continents.
