Miles Gentry has been for many years, a student and researcher of religious mythology and symbolism, philosophy, psychology, as well as metaphysics and the esoteric traditions. Recognizing the vast hypocrisy and failure of religion in general, yet realizing the need for spiritual growth, he has tirelessly searched for answers to the fundamental and perennial questions of life.

Having formulated his discoveries and revelations into his newest work - Spontaneous Combustion: Enlightenment and the Cosmic Crucible - Miles continues to focus his energy on the awakening of consciousness and the reconciliation of opposites we know as duality.

Topics Mentioning This Author

“It is certain that such a revolution in thought - that is, such an expansion of consciousness, such an evolution of intelligence - is not the result of a whim. It is in fact a question of a cosmic influence to which the earth, along with everything in it, is subjected. A phase in the gestation of the planetary particle of our solar system is completed. Gaston Bachelard observes, in this connection, what he calls “a mutation of Spirit.” A new period must begin, and this is heralded by seismic movement, climate changes, and finally, above all, by the spirit that animates man.”
Schwaller de Lubicz

Francis Bacon
“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.”
Francis Bacon, The Oxford Francis Bacon IV: The Advancement of Learning

Jakob Böhme
“Therefore it is highly necessary that God’s children earnestly pray and learn to know this false structure, and depart from it in spirit, and not help to build it up...”
Jacob Boehme

Blaise Pascal
“Anyone who does not see the vanity of the world is very vain himself. So who does not see it, apart from young people whose lives are all noise, diversions, and thoughts for the future?
But take away their diversion and you will see them bored to extinction. Then they feel their nullity without recognizing it, for nothing could be more wretched than to be intolerably depressed as soon as one is reduced to introspection with no means of diversion.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Hey Jason...I won't give away the exact location :-) but I'm standing on the literal edge of the Catskill Mountains. Behind me you see the beautiful Hudson Valley region of upstate NY.
