“Hidden Unity: French Esoteric Christianity and the Western Path to Non-Duality” by James Foster

"Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France gave rise to a unique current of esoteric Christianity. Philosophical, mystical, and initiatory streams—Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Christian Kabbalah, and a revived Gnostic liturgy—all converged around a single principle: réintégration, the return of all beings to Divine Unity in the Logos.

This book follows that current through Martinès de Pasqually's theurgy, Saint-Martin's interior path, Lévi's symbolic synthesis, Papus's initiatory system, and Doinel's visionary Gnostic Eucharist, revealing how a genuine "Christian non-duality" took shape in lodges, journals, and churches. More than a historical curiosity, the French tradition offers a rigorous account of unity—one that resonates with Buddhism, Vedānta, and Taoism while remaining unmistakably Christian."
