Beliefs
Archeosofica proposes a form of "ascesis" or asceticism:[2][3]
- Physiological and psychosomatic asceticism to maintain physical well-being.
- Social asceticism, which is the effort and action to become a perfect citizen and to make oneself a spokesman of a "new society".
- Mystical asceticism through intense devotion.
- Theurgical asceticism, or ritual asceticism.
- Magical asceticism.
- Cosmic asceticism.
- "Sapiential" and "initiatic" asceticism, or the spiritual elevation of oneself through knowledge and practice.
Subjects of Archeosophy are explained in a series of booklets. There are about 50 Booklets on various subjects such as esoteric Christianity, reincarnation, out of body experiences, meditation, clairvoyance, esotericism, alchemy, religious symbolism, mysticism, and so on.[4]Template:Secondary source needed
