The proposition that tribal or smaller-scale traditional societies yield Gnostic ideas may seem absurd, especially considering the kind of elaborate speculations post-War scholars have discussed since the Nag Hammadi finds. The connection with gnosticism has been made because of initiated specialists&s; negotiations through "other worlds," and because initiations can be paralleled to access to...

The relevance of the topic is due to the low popularity of both M. Freis creativity, and the genre of fantasy itself among contemporary researchers. The novelty of the approach of M. Freis image of the oneirosphere is that...

Religion, by giving the person identity, security, and courage, succeeds in reducing, relieving, and allaying anxiety, fear, tension, and stress.
