THE LIBRARY


The School of Death has a wide reading list.

The curriculum indulges in science and spirituality, philosophy and poetry.

The accessible, the esoteric, the mind-blowing, the soul touching.

 

The school takes inspiration from perennial wisdom:

the idea that the world's great mystical traditions all tap into a shared metaphysical truth.

One deep root, many branches.

 

The school is not here to convert, convince, or cling to any single path.

It's here for the One Great Mysterythat vast, ineffable presence

all spiritual and philosophical roads seem to circle,

no matter what name they give it.

 

The school prefers questions to answers, paradoxes to prescriptions

and welcomes anyone who feels... something!
