REVIEWS 'Emerson and Universal Mind'

"A brilliant, forceful, cogent, eloquent and personal brief for the essential validity of the great Neoplatonic doctrine of ideas, and a wholly believable effort to place Emerson firmly in that tradition." -- Robert D. Richardson, Author of Emerson: The Mind on Fire 'The Magdalene Gates'

"This is the book my soul has been thirsting for. Ever since I encountered the fragmented, mysterious and luminous Gospel of Mary, I have yearned for those missing pages to turn up. In The Magdalene Gates, esoteric scholar Richard G. Geldard masterfully fills in the blanks, weaving his own potent understanding of Mary Magdalene's wisdom teachings with a gripping mystery and a moving love story. The result is a novel I couldn't put down, and which has somehow fundamentally changed me. Highly recommended.
