Secret Classes & Reintegration: From the Élus Coëns to the Rectified Scottish Rite
At the heart of the three texts gathered in this book resides an essential subject—we might even say the sole subject—discovered within every tradition, and particularly within Judeo-Christian traditions: we are referring to the path of the Body of Light, the Body of Glory, the Body of Immortality, the Christic Body—depending on the expressions used, all of which indicate a process of internal alchemy, inscribed, among other things, in the myth of the reconstruction of Solomon’s Temple, often closely associated with a theurgy, whether explicit or implicit.
If myths work to modify our model of the world in order to make us receptive to “that which endures,” it is the mythic structures composing them that carry the operative powers of the inner ways, a veritable language to be deciphered in an initiatory process closer to art than to science.
The three salutary texts in this book complement and harmonize each other remarkably well. They are offered as avenues of reflection, meditation, and maturation for all those who are willing to listen and hear, to open themselves up to greater and higher meaning.

About the Author
Rémi Boyer has explored at length the world of the avant-garde, initiatory traditions, and philosophies of enlightenment.
Notably, he works within the setting of the House of Surrealists in Cordes-sur-Ciel, for a new alliance between traditions, philosophies of awakening, and the artistic avant-garde. Considering literature as a form of metaphysics, he became actively involved in the journal movement of the 1980s and has since collaborated on various traditional journals in Europe. He is the author of some twenty specialized works, particularly on Western initiatory movements, works translated into several languages. Since 1992, he has edited the review L’Esprit des Choses, founded with Robert Amadou, specializing in the philosophy of Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, Martinism, and Freemasonry. He is regularly invited to give lectures and lead seminars on initiation related topics in most European countries.
