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: From rumors about gnostic orgies in antiquity to the explicit erotic symbolism of alchemical texts, from the subtly coded eroticism of medieval kabbalah to the sexual magic practiced by contemporary occultists and countercultural translations of Asian Tantra, the history of Western esotericism is rich in references to the domains of eros and sexuality. This volume, which brings together an impressive array of top-level specialists, is the first to analyze the eroticism of the esoteric without sensationalism or cheap generalizations, but on the basis of expert scholarship and attention to textual and historical detail. While there are few domains where the imagination may so easily run wild, the various contributions seek to distinguish fact from fiction--only to find that historical realities are sometimes even stranger than the fantasies. In doing so, they reveal the outlines of a largely unknown history spanning more than twenty centuries.

Описание:
Alberto Korda's famous photograph of Che Guevara titled the "Guerrillero Heroico" has been reproduced, modified and remixed countless times since it was taken on March 5, 1960, in Havana, Cuba.
This book looks again at this well-known mass-produced image to explore how an image can take on cultural force in diverse parts of the globe and legitimate varying positions and mass action in unexpected global political contexts.
Analytically, the book develops a comparative analysis of how images become attached to a range of meanings that are absolutely inseparable from their contexts of use. Addressing the need for a fluid and responsive approach to the study of visual meaning-making, this book relies on multiple methodologies such as semiotics, research-creation, multimodal discourse analysis, ethnography and phenomenology and shows how each method has something to offer toward the understanding of the social and cultural work of images in our globally oriented cultures.
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:
Invented religions have been described as modern religions which advertise their invented status and reject traditional strategies of authorisation. But what does it mean for a religious formation to be 'made up', and how might this status affect perceptions of its legitimacy or authenticity in wider society?
Based in original fieldwork and archival sources, and in the secondary literature on invented and constructed formations, this volume explores the allure of, as well as the limits of, the invention of religion. Through a series of case studies, the contributors discuss strategies of mobilization and legitimation for new traditions at their point of emergence, as well as taking issue with simplistic interpretations of the phenomenon which neglect wider cultural and political dimensions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Culture and Religion.

Описание: The novel On the Path of alchemical Fusion is the final book of the trilogy Lessons of Master G. It relates the further acquaintance of Kasyan and Gouri with Gs former followers. The intrigues of an alchemical court that G, as a part of his mission, created in Moscow, strongly amplifies the contradictions and conflicts between Kasyan and Gouri G teaches Kasyan and Gouri how to keep inner contact with the Ray of the School, and with each other. After passing through the alchemical fire Kasyan and Gouri receive their first alchemical initiation. This initiation opens the mysteries of the alchemical stage of Nigredo for them. The astralized space of this stage is described in the supplement Adventures of Master G and his faithful disciples Morose and Bitumen in the Nigredo Valley, or Modern Alchemy, which will be published soon. In order to follow the alchemical Path of Master G further, the light Path of ascension, they have to undergo the next alchemical stage, which is the stage of purification called Albedo. This stage and its various techniques for the purification of the soul and the sublimation of perception are described in the books of the series called Alchemical Teachings, Inner Light and Inner Christianity.

Описание: Ive written this work about ascetic practices on request of my Master to give the interested people yet another view on the essence of the spiritual Path. Namely, how man can come closer to God and let Him bring man up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and put a new song in mans mouth. (Ps. 40:2,3). Man can come closer to God through work on himself, that is working on purifying his heart and soul, his inner world, making through this work still more room available for Him. On the path which my Master has been following the focus lies in ones work on oneself, so that you could call this path the path of the worker. Work on oneself consists mostly of spiritual practices which wake up mans soul in this illusory world towards spiritual reality and keep it awake. This path doesnt demand vows and renunciation of the world, after Jesus word: But I say unto you, Swear not at all (Mt.5:34). It doesnt bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne on the follower. It isnt demanded from man to be an exemplary citizen, family man or woman, spouse, son or daughter, but it is asked to take heed of yourself, as St. Sergius of Radonezh says, that is study yourself and know what is in you, what comes in and what comes out of you. Pray and work, says St. Benedict of Nursia. Work must be understood not only as work with ones hands but aswork on oneself, which helps to rid ones mind and soul from the consequences of committed deadly sins and to restrain one from committing them again, as the psalm commands: depart from evil(Ps.34:14). Ive written this book with the help of the Philocalia, a collection of treatises by Christian holy fathers, which has been translated from Greek into Slavonic by Saint Paisi Velichkovski and the group of monks from his monastery. I have translated/adapted their spiritual instructions into modern language, hoping to make them more accessible to the reader. Translators: Zigurds Skabardis: chapters 1-16; Gouri Gozalov: chapters 17-20; Julia Snezhko: chapters 21-44.
