[...In Bulgarian folk art, the Thraco-Orphic....is inherently personal...The folklore song motif "immured bride" and the written Old Bulgarian text "Secret Book" of the Bogomils...are only two verbal records of the notional colon "Because of Thracian orphism". The Thraco-orphic belief in man's immortality is the Pre New Testament contents of Christian culture in sharp contract to the Old Testament. I clarify the ethno-cultural presence of Thrace-Macedonia in the New Testament as well as the sequence "Secret Book" Manichaeism as opposed to the academised sequence Manichaeism-Bogomil movement. I analyse the Lord's prayer for the first time with a view to its basic place in " Secret Book"...Hence my disagreement with the two opposities in the history of man's attitude to Christ - C.G. Jung & Nik. Berdyaev...In explainign the historic I choose not 'philosopheme' but 'concrete mythologeme' as Berdyaev prefers but to me it is the New Testament 'first heavenly riot' not the Old Testament 'original sin'..." -from Summary]
