Описание: The Western Esoteric Traditions offers a concise history of a distinct form of philosophical spirituality extending from Hermeticism, Neo-Platonism, and Gnosticism in the early Christian era up until the present. New paradigms in medicine and science attest to the continuity of esoteric ideas into the twenty-first century.
Описание: Can ecstatic experiences be studied with the academic instruments of rational investigation? What kinds of religious illumination are experienced by academically minded people? And what is the specific nature of the knowledge of God that university theologians of the Middle Ages enjoyed compared with other modes of knowing God, such as rapture, prophecy, the beatific vision, or simple faith? Ecstasy in the Classroom explores the interface between academic theology and ecstatic experience in the first half of the thirteenth century, formative years in the history of the University of Paris, medieval Europe’s “fountain of knowledge.” It considers little-known texts by William of Auxerre, Philip the Chancellor, William of Auvergne, Alexander of Hales, and other theologians of this community, thus creating a group portrait of a scholarly discourse. It seeks to do three things. The first is to map and analyze the scholastic discourse about rapture and other modes of cognition in the first half of the thirteenth century. The second is to explicate the perception of the self that these modes imply: the possibility of transformation and the complex structure of the soul and its habits. The third is to read these discussions as a window on the predicaments of a newborn community of medieval professionals and thereby elucidate foundational tensions in the emergent academic culture and its social and cultural context. Juxtaposing scholastic questions with scenes of contemporary courtly romances and reading Aristotle’s Analytics alongside hagiographical anecdotes, Ecstasy in the Classroom challenges the often rigid historiographical boundaries between scholastic thought and its institutional and cultural context.

Описание: Few twenty-first century academics take seriously mysticism’s claim that we have direct knowledge of a higher or more “inner” reality or God. But Philosophical Mysticism argues that such leading philosophers of earlier epochs as Plato, G. W. F. Hegel, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Alfred North Whitehead were, in fact, all philosophical mystics. This book discusses major versions of philosophical mysticism beginning with Plato. It shows how the framework of mysticism’s higher or more inner reality allows nature, freedom, science, ethics, the arts, and a rational religion-in-the-making to work together rather than conflicting with one another. This is how philosophical mysticism understands the relationships of fact to value, rationality to ethics, and the rest. And this is why Plato’s notion of ascent or turning inward to a higher or more inner reality has strongly attracted such major figures in philosophy, religion, and literature as Aristotle, Plotinus, St Augustine, Dante Alighieri, Immanuel Kant, Hegel, William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Whitehead, and Wittgenstein.
Wallace’s Philosophical Mysticism brings this central strand of western philosophy and culture into focus in a way unique in recent scholarship.
Описание: Ron Geaves demonstrates how the convergence of Guru Maharaj Ji and Glastonbury Fayre 1971 reveals an important piece in the jigsaw that forms the bricolage that came to be known as ‘New Age’, or, more neutrally, contemporary spirituality. The book charts the “discovery” of Guru Maharaj Ji in India in 1969 by a small number of British, and then, North American ‘hippies’, and how his arrival in Britain in June 1971 and his speech from the pyramid stage at the Fayre at just 13 years of age, escalated his activities to become one of the key players influencing 1970s counter-culture spirituality. Both Glastonbury and Prem Rawat (Guru Maharaj Ji’s actual given name) have gone on to re-emerge in significantly different identities to the one presented in 1971. The meeting between the two demonstrates how alternative spiritualities were being formed in the 1960s and went on to develop into the ‘New Age’ counter-culture and eventually permeated mainstream cultures in Britain and the USA.

Описание: Hanegraaff reveals the neglected history of how intellectuals since the Renaissance have tried to come to terms with ideas of the `esoteric` and `occult`, present in Western culture. He asks what implications this forgotten history of exclusion has for established textbook narratives of religion, philosophy and science.
Описание: Joanna Southcott (1750 - 1814) remains one of the most significant and extraordinary religious figures of her era. In an age of reason and enlightenment, her apocalyptic prophecies attracted tens of thousands of followers, and she captured international attention with her promise to bear a divine child. In this new intellectual biography Matthew Niblett unravels Southcott's writings, her context and her message to demonstrate why the prophetess was such a magnetic figure and to highlight the significance of her role in British religious history. Using a wide range of contemporary sources, this revealing study explains the formation of Southcott's apocalyptic theology, her treatment of the Bible, her relation with the Church, the network of clerical supporters she used and the striking originality of her message. In so doing, this book shines fresh light on religion and the politics of salvation in late Georgian England.

Описание: This Handbook brings together articles on two distinct but related subjects: Western mysticism and Western esotericism. Readers will be able to trace, in one volume, connections between mystical and esoteric currents of thought. The essays are accessible to novices, but will be of interest to seasoned scholars as well.
Описание: Part A dealt with the process of conversion of saṃskāras into enlightenment attributes, whereas this book, Part B explains the nature of those attributes in terms of the natural radiance of the Clear Light of Mind. The various aspects of the conversion of mind into Mind are explicated in this exploration of chapter 4 of the Bardo Thцdol, titled 'Natural Liberation through Naked Perception'. This ground-breaking study explains the importance of the Throat and Heart chakras in generating and transmitting attributes of Mind, as well as the zodiacal implications. It also shows how the sections of the two chapters are correlated in one complete thesis of praxis and result.

Описание: This volume analyses the possibilities and limits of Lacanian theory when it comes to studying non-European religions and explores how Lacan can renew our approach to non-European "religious" beliefs. It examines the ways in which Lacan helps us to distance ourselves from the psychical/psychological effects of the universal drive of capitalism.
Описание: This indispensable work combines Massey`s collected writings with never before published letters organized topically in order to define Massey`s unique world-view for a new generation of readers.
Written by world-leading authority on Steiner's teachings, Dr. Adrian Anderson, author of 17 books including the Rudolf Steiner Handbook.
The greatest esoteric painting ever created through Rudolf Steiner, known as The Triptych Grail, was painted by Anna May in 1912. It was intended for the Goetheanum, but during the 1940s was in Hamburg, where it was totally destroyed. But Marguerita Hauschka had taken a colour photograph of the huge work (6 x 2.5m) soon after it was completed, and made a poster of it available, in 1975.
The only book written about this painting, which is now available as an art print.
Dr. Anderson uses his expertise in anthroposophy and the Greek of the New Testament and merges these with his spiritual insights, to provide a unique guide to the bewildering array of some 50 persons and spiritual beings depicted here. He has also succeeded in discovering how the Hebrew name of God, as spoken to Moses, (Ehyeh asher Ehyeh) actually does confirm Rudolf Steiner's interpretation: "I am the I am".
The painting seeks to educate the viewer about the deep and sacred truths of cosmic Christianity, such as the relationship of each spiritual seeker to Christ Jesus, and the connection of the great leader of the medieval Rosicrucian movement to the Christ-impulse, over the ages.
Themes in the painting include: - The importance of Melchizedec - King Solomon's Temple, Hiram and the Queen of Sheba - The influence of Archangel Michael in 3000 BC, and in modern times - The Holy Grail, in three different aspects - The Time-Spirits governing the 4th and 5th Cultural Epochs - The connection of the zodiac and planets to the human being and to Christ - The Divine immersed in the World-cross (Plato) - Lifting up the 'Son of Man'
