"Today the doctor we see does not stop at examining our body. He asks us about our mother and father, grandfather and grandmother, even the lateral lines of the family. A historian, sociologist and philosopher should do the same. What are we today? What were we in the era of the Crusades? What were we in the era of the catacombs? And if we did not take part in it through our ancestors, yet our entire psyche was shaped by such. As the earth, seemingly motionless, inertly rushes forward, so our psyche, supposedly around its own axis only rotating, rushes according to the pushes of millennia and ten-thousand years ago, as well as the psyche of the next generations itself gives such pushes. To contribute to the knowledge of the orbit of our psyche, this is the philosophical purpose of this book, when the special purpose is to discern the fundamental mysteries of Christian astrology, which at one time was the queen of the sciences, all of them depending on each other."
