The Franklin Merrell-Wolff Fellowship

Franklin Merrell-Wolff discusses the significance of redemption. He begins by outlining the traditional Christian interpretation of the problem of redemption and offers a critique of the base of knowledge from which written material on this subject is derived. He asserts that there is no such thing as a shastra, sutra, scripture, or bible that is true in the “dead letter” sense. Wolff comments upon the philosophical approach to the problem of redemption from the Vedantic and the Buddhistic points of view and he concludes by suggesting a psychological interpretation whereby our surface consciousness becomes conscious of its roots in the so-called “collective unconscious.”
