A SPECULATIVE CHRONICLE, NOT A RECORD. Sacred Synthesis is written as history — dated events, named participants, an underground network, a global transformation — and it is fiction, by the intent of its author and by editorial ruling. Everything else in this reader is what it claims to be: Boethius in the Friedlein text, the Sacred Books of the East in Müller's series, L'Initiation as Papus printed it. This book is the one thing here that is not, and it should be read as the argument it is rather than as the chronicle it imitates. The practices it describes are real and are held elsewhere in this archive with their own sources; the world it describes them saving is not.

2Community Arts and Cultural Expression Sacred Synthesis Cultural Programming Art, music, and story are programmed along the same four lines, and the pattern is worth stating once. Each begins in collaborative community creation — community art projects; community music-making; community stories, shared as narrative and as cultural transmission. Each maintains a traditional line: cultural preservation, and the development of the art, the music, the storytelling. Each admits contemporary expression as innovation within a traditional framework. And each is given a public occasion — community galleries and community concerts, where the work is shared and the culture celebrated; community publications, where the stories are shared and the culture documented. The calendar carries the rest. Traditional observances hold the community to a cultural calendar and to an awareness of the seasons. Festivals are planned as occasions for cultural expression. Families take part across generations, so that participation is multi-generational and cultural transmission runs through it. Neighboring communities celebrate together, and the sharing of culture between them is a form of regional cooperation. The passages of a life are marked in the same spirit: birth and naming, community welcome and cultural identity; coming of age, youth development and cultural responsibility; partnership and marriage, the celebration of a relationship and the community's support for it; the honoring of elders, wisdom recognized and culture transmitted; and death and memorial, when the community grieves together and renders cultural honor.
