Tolkien and Barfield have been brought by destiny into one of the most famous literary circles of the twentieth century. And no two authors could be said to be so startlingly different, both psychologically and artistically. This work takes its departure from the comparison of their most imaginative literature.What Tolkien weaves within his Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings emerges as a specific cosmology linked to the West as it continued the inheritance of the Mysteries of Atlantis and took new forms in the westernmost part of Europe. Tolkien shows in the stamp of his personality the connection to these Great Mysteries. He carries in his soul the desire, an almost lifelong obsession, of transmitting and translating these Mysteries of the past into the present.Barfield is deeply immersed in the culture of his time and everything that the English-speaking West has best to offer. His most artistic imaginations (chiefly The Silver Trumpet and The Rose on the Ash-Heap), as the rest of his work, show us where the future of the West lies. Barfield makes it abundantly clear how only by turning to the legacy and promise of spiritual science can the West renew and deepen its cultural impulse. But this is no one-way street; rather a cross-pollination and mutual strengthening of West and Central Europe.Here are two individuals who pursued similar, or parallel aims in diametrically polar ways. Both Tolkien and Barfield expressed the reality of the cosmic Christ in our time, but their views could not have been any more different, and yet complementary. Both perspectives combined are crucial for an understanding of the Christ being in our time.

Este trabajo se ha realizado teniendo como fundamento el Popol Vuh, el documento que desanda en lenguaje mítico las cuatro eras o fases de la civilización, que en alguna medida ha sufrido toda América. Por tanto éste trabajo se desplaza desde el Popol Vuh hasta posteriores tiempos a través de los mitos y leyendas de los Aztecas e Iroqueses.El mito y la historia van uno al lado del otro en un enfoque científico e imaginativo que documenta la correlación entre los períodos prehistórico e histórico y los eventos espirituales que los preceden, según narran los mitos y leyendas de Norteamérica.Finalmente, todo lo anterior es colocado en la perspectiva que la moderna investigación científica espiritual de Rudolf Steiner a sacado a la luz, particularmente en relación a los eventos que tuvieron lugar en América Central dos mil años atrás, del que sólo él ha hablado. La segunda parte del trabajo investiga el surgimiento de nuevas influencias espirituales alrededor del tiempo anterior al descubrimiento de América por Colón. Al extremo del espectro encontramos la visión del mundo Azteca e Iroquesa. Ambas cosmologías tienen vínculos - discretos u obvios - con el contenido del Popol Vuh, o continúan o reinterpretan su mensaje original. Esta polaridad acarrea trascendentales consecuencias para la tendencia social global en la historia moderna del mundo.
