Summary

In Writing on the Ground, Wellesley Tudor Pole continues where he left off in A Man Seen Afar. In this book he challenges the everyday events of the life of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels. He writes: “Surely it was the Christ speaking through Jesus who announced that ‘I and the Father are one’? Jesus never indicated that his human birth differed from the natural one or that he, the man, though perfect in his humanity was the saviour of the world with power to destroy all sin and evil. Doubtless it was for the purpose of making converts that the doctrines of the Virgin Birth and the idea that Jesus himself in human form was God incarnate, omnipotent and supreme arose”.

Penned in the final year of the author’s life, he writes about The Archangelic Hierarchy, The Closing Days of Atlantis and his relationship with Abdu’l Baha Abbas, the son of Bahá‘u’lláh the founder of the Bahá’í Faith.

The author’s whole philosophy is a gentle, insistent assertion that the life we know is only a minute part of a greater continuum existing far back and far ahead. Tudor Pole’s ability to scan this continuum brings glimpses that are denied to most of us.

Wellesley Tudor Pole

Major Wellesley Tudor Pole, O.B.E. (23 April 1884 – 13 September 1968), was a British spiritualist, mystic, and early adherent of the Bahá’í Faith in the United Kingdom. A man of wide-ranging spiritual interests, Tudor Pole devoted his life to the exploration of religious and mystical traditions, becoming a respected figure in both spiritualist and Bahá’í circles.

Throughout his life, he authored numerous books, essays, and pamphlets on spiritual topics, often drawing from his personal experiences, visions, and deep sense of the interconnectedness of all faiths. His work reflected a passionate pursuit of universal truths and a belief in the essential unity of humanity. Tudor Pole also played a significant role in the popularization of the “Silent Minute” during World War II, a moment of collective prayer and reflection observed nightly across Britain.

His lifelong fascination with the mysteries of the Holy Grail and Arthurian legend led him to undertake extensive personal and historical investigations, blending scholarship with mystical insight. Tudor Pole’s influence extended beyond his writings; he was known as a quiet but persistent advocate for spiritual tolerance, inner development, and world peace.
