The second volume of The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis - on the basis of books 3 to 9 of the Corpus Hermeticum of Hermis Trismegistus - presents the conditions for, as well as the phases of the path of liberation. The first condition is the profoundly experienced insight that mankind, in its current existence, Meer...is separated from God and does not know him. By sacrificing his 'I', man can undo this separation, can be nourished by the forces of the spirit, and overcome death.
