Heart of Darkness: A Masonic Journey into Shadow and the Soul

By Joseph Conrad and Jeff Morgan

Heart of Darkness: A Masonic Journey into the Shadow and the Soul Includes Joseph Conrad's Complete Novella and a Reflective Commentary by Jeff Morgan What if Heart of Darkness is more than a tale of imperial corruption and existential despair? What if it is an initiatory map? In this unique edition, Joseph Conrad's haunting classic is paired with a powerful new commentary that reveals its hidden structure as a spiritual and psychological journey. Written from the perspective of a Freemason, depth psychologist, and student of the Western Mystery Tradition, Jeff Morgan explores Heart of Darkness not only as a critique of colonialism--but as an allegory of the soul's descent into the unconscious, confrontation with the shadow, and search for inner Light. Using Masonic symbolism, Gnostic myth, and Jungian analysis, Morgan uncovers layers of meaning often overlooked: - The river as the Winding Staircase of initiation - Kurtz as the disintegrated shadow of the unprepared initiate - The veiled feminine as Sophia, divine wisdom in exile - The jungle as the psychic underworld--the Lower Chamber of the soul This edition includes: The full original text of Heart of Darkness An extended reflective essay on the novel's esoteric dimensions Interpretations through Freemasonry, Jungian depth psychology , and Gnostic thought A guide for initiates and seekers into the darkness behind the veil Whether you are a reader of classic literature, a practicing Mason, or a seeker on the path of inner knowledge, this edition offers a rare fusion of story and soul work--a guide not only into the darkness, but through it.
