of Ancient and Modern Wisdom
Revealing the Meaning and Significance
of the Myth of Science
and R. C. L., J.D.
This book connects the latest scientific theories with the oldest spiritual insights. The whole spectrum of human knowledge is synthesized to reveal the spiritual significance of the dominant belief system of modern times, the Myth of Science. Myth is not used in a derogatory sense, but in its original meaning as a true belief system which gives meaning to life, and links with the great belief systems of the past. This volume of the School of Wisdom's English Language Publication Series is its advanced text. All of the basic ideas and curriculum of the School are presented in a concise form with hundreds of charts, photographs and full color illustrations. It was co-written by Austrian Philosopher and Professor, Arnold Keyserling -- a student of George Gurdjieff and Ramana Maharishi -- and by Keyserling's student and long time friend, R.C.L., now an attorney in the U.S.

The primary Author of Chance and Choice, Arnold Keyserling, 1922-2005. Arnold taught Spiritual Philosophy as a Professor at the Academy of Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria since the 1960's until his death on September 7, 2005. In the 1980's Arnold also served as President of the European Humanistic Psychology Association. Arnold Keyserling was one of Europe's greatest Twentieth Century philosophers, who was well known throughout Europe and Asia as a spiritual leader, philosopher, public speaker and teacher.
Born in 1922, an exile of the Baltic Republic of Estonia, Arnold Keyserling is the son of philosopher and author, Count Hermann Keyserling., who founded the School of Wisdom in 1920, and the great grandson of Chancellor Bismark. Arnold Keyserling was the original "new age thinker" who introduced Europe to "Yoga" in the early 1960s, the "Human Potential Movement" in the 70's, "Native American Shamanism" in the 1980's, and African Shamanism (Malidoma) in the 90's. A student of both George
Gurdjieff and 12 tone composer Joseph Hauer, he was the first person to mathematically calculate the exact frequencies of the Chakras and the inventor of a new musical scale tuned to them, called PrimaSounds.
Professor Keyserling spoke many languages and taught in German, English, French and Italian. Chance and Choice is his Magnum Opus in English of his complete philosophy, ideas and insights.
The Co-Author,
R. C. L., a/k/a Ralph, is a long time student and friend of Keyserling. He loves French Bulldogs and prefers a low profile, and has also created the School
of Wisdom webs. The web is a continuation
of a teaching institution first established in Europe in 1920 by Arnold's father,
Count Keyserling to promote understanding, reconciliation, and transmission
of all spiritual and wisdom traditions of the world. Its early teachers
include Carl Jung, Richard Wilhelm,
Herman Hesse, and Rabindranath Tagore. True to its mission of global culture,
School of Wisdom activities are now focused on the Internet. Ralph has also authored two other books on philosophy and music; one with Arnold Keyserling: Chakra
Music: the Story of PrimaSounds; and another on his own, entitled: Laws of Wisdom: a Holistic Synthesis of Science and Religion.. R. C. L. is also the composer/developer of PrimaSounds
music, which is based on a new
musical scale invented by Professor Keyserling. In collaboration with the School of Wisdom, Ralph has composed and recorded three audio CDs of PrimaSounds music entitled: Life
Tuning; Prima
Sounds; and, GateKeeper. You can send him an email at ralph@schoolofwisdom.com but with all the spam on the Net these days he'll probably never see it to answer.
