Luz, being eternal, is, in the human being, "the kernel of the immortality," as the place
called by the same name is " the abode of the immortality"

The Ever Lasting Sacred Kernel Accepts as a universal truth the exercise of the
One-and-only Tradition with which our humankind was blessed from its very beginning.
The divine wisdom and celestial principles came down upon us, and the traditional was
transmitted over the centuries uninterrupted, even if diversified in various forms. The
spiritual essence of this tradition, its sacred kernel, remained unaffected by exteroior
changes and today, in our modern world, the spiritual kernel is still alive, yet hidden.

The ten chapters unveil, using examples from Western literature,a secret significance,
translated to our rational mind mainly as a triad: cosmos (cosmogony) - Year (cosmic cycles)
- Man (spiritual realization). Works by famous authors, from Homer to Poe and Saint-Exupery
, very familiar to modern reader, are chosen to illustrate the thesis. There is a lack of books

treating this subject in a consistent and non-fantasizing manner. The Everlasting Sacred Kernel
, respecting the authority of fundamental sacred writings and the traditional authors' expertise
(Rene Guenon, Anada Coomaraswamy, Frithjof, Schuon) goes beond the regular commentaries
concerning the literal, historical, or even theological analysis of the texts. It aims at the very core
of the matter, and presents in an orthodox way the traditional and spiritual meaning that can be
found not only in Western literature but also in our day-to-day modern activities.
