“Tell Me Your Landscape and I Will Tell You Who You Are” – Ortega y Gasset.Dr J.P. Antill, a descendant of the Te Wai Pounamu landscape, the Greenstone South Island of New Zealand, was impelled after travels in Tibet and Northern India to undertake a personal quest to discover the spiritual meanings of landscapes. ‘Sophia Geography’ is a journey of the mind.Religious Studies is the academic discipline concerned with spirituality, religion and theology in its broadest sense.Sophia Geography approaches the spiritual inherent in landscapes from a secular point of view. Spirituality, landscape and archetypes are ideas which can be explored historically, analytically and descriptively, or phenomenologically. Sophia Geography is an exploration . It is an academic quest for clarification and enlightenment on ideas about spirituality , landscape and archetypes – and finally it comes to a realization and explores the forgotten and hidden Gnostic Sophia. This is not a dogmatic book , but rather it is a phenomenological exploration. Everything is up for discussion and disagreement . Setting out, this writer did not know the destination. The conclusion , like a lost continent emerging out of the mist, was a rediscovery. Whether it it real , is up to you.Explored in this book are the following topics: History of Western Spirituality; Geography of Landscape, Place and Spirituality; Archetypal Psychology and Archetypal Landscapes; Paganism and Animism– New Zealand Maori, American Indian and Australian Aborigine Primal Religions; Green Ecospirituality; Philosophy of Science and Spirituality; Postmodernism; Postmodern theology and science; Feminist and Ecofeminist theology; Gnosticism and Persian mysticism as interpreted by Henry Corbin; and the long lost Sophia – philosophy of the Soul and the Soul of the Earth.The seminal thinkers drawn on are: Carl Jung, Anthony Stevens, James Hillman, Walter A. Shelburne, Peter Bishop, Denis Cosgro
