Во время создания этой книги меня поразило, как много ученых, работающих в разных областях, получают аномальные результаты, опровергающие господствующую материалистическую парадигму и традиционный взгляд на историю. В этой книге я попытался свести воедино множество разных аномалий и создать совершенно новый, но целостный взгляд на мир. Я лично знаком с некоторыми учеными, упомянутыми в тексте, но не вступал в контакт с большинством из них, поэтому не имею возможности выяснить, питают ли они интерес к эзотерике. Важно отметить, что хотя в их книгах нет эзотерических предпочтений, их выводы поддерживают эзотерическое мировоззрение. Речь идет о следующих книгах: «Происхождение сознания и разделение двухкамерного разума» Джулиан Джейнс, «Бродячие ученые» Элин Уоддел, «Искусство памяти и оккультная философия человеческой эпохи» и «Джордано Бруно и романтическая традиция» Фрэнсис Йейтс, «Шекспир и изобретение человека» и «Обретение мудрости» Хэролда Блума, «Исаак Ньютон» Джона Мейнарда Кейнса, «Имя в окне» Маргарет Демарест, «Школа ночи» М. К. Крэнбрука, «Мельница Гамлета» Джорджо ди Сантильяны и Герты фон Деченд, «Корни романтизма» Исайи Берлина, «Религия и упадок магии» Кейта Томаса, «Церковь и гнозис» Ф. К. Баркетта, «Двойной огонь: любовь и эротика» Октавио Паса, «Ян Коменский» С. С. Лаури и «Размышления об охоте» Хосе Ортега-и-Гассета.
