Softcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Most ancient spiritual texts have uncertain origins, but few are as enigmatic as The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean and the Emerald Tablet attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The latter has a rich history, regarded by scholars as one of the most mysterious documents, described variously as a summary of Neoplatonic philosophy, an extraterrestrial artifact, or a gift from Atlantis. Attributed to the legendary Hermes, an ancient philosopher and sage, references to him appear across Renaissance, Christian, Islamic, Roman, and Greek literature. The original Tablet, said to be a brilliant green stone inscribed with Phoenician text, has been lost to history, leaving behind numerous translations by figures like Isaac Newton and Madame Blavatsky. The Tablet teaches that "All is One" and emphasizes direct experience of the Divine through meditation. It has influenced Freemasonry, Theosophy, and esoteric schools, considered the source of hermeticism, gnosticism, alchemy, and science. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth are even more mysterious, attributed to an Atlantean priest/king named Thoth, who supposedly arrived on Earth from another planet. He ruled Egypt for 16,000 years and is depicted with the head of an ibis. Thoth authored 36,525 manuscripts and built the Great Pyramid of Giza to house Atlantean knowledge. Legend states that beneath the Pyramid lie the Halls of Amenti, where souls are judged after death. Thoth is revered as.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali were written around the time of Jesus, give or take 200 years. The practice of yoga began in India as early as 1000 years prior, but the Yoga Sutras are the most important compendium of this ancient oral tradition, and virtually all later schools of yoga begin with Patanjali. Little is known about him, but there is evidence he was an educated philosopher, grammarian, and physician-a long-lost medical work is attributed to him. No doubt he received oral instruction in yoga and probably lived in remote caves, forests, and river banks, which were the most frequent practicing grounds of the time. At some point, enlightenment happened. Why he committed an oral tradition to written text is unknown, but as the remote meditative havens of the yogis receded and dedicated aspirants dwindled, he may have feared that yoga would become forgotten, lost, or corrupted. Regardless, we are the beneficiaries of his efforts. The literal meaning of the word sutra is 'thread,' which by extension and usage has come to connote 'spiritual instruction.' Simple, direct, practical-yet not easily understood or practiced-the threads of Patanjali weave an elegant system for opening the door to Self-realization.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Book of Psalms is the longest book in the Bible, and arguably the most cherished. For centuries people have sought comfort and counsel in its 150 lyric poems, and the 23rd Psalm is perhaps the most well-known and oft-quoted passage in the Bible. When the New Testament quotes the Old Testament, the quote is from Psalms over a third of the time.The Psalms are the ancient hymnal of the Jewish people. The poetry was often set to music, but not always. They express the emotion of the individual poet about God, and his relationship to God. There are many different types of psalms: psalms of affliction, lamentation, praise, remorse over sin, thanksgiving, gratitude, pilgrimage. There are wisdom psalms, royal psalms, victory psalms, law psalms, and psalms of Zion. About half the psalms are attributed to King David. The rest are attributed to other psalmists, or the psalmist is not known. Some of the psalms attributed to David have details connecting them with documented events in his life. Individual psalms were written as far back as the time of Moses-who is credited with writing Psalm 90-through the time of David, Asaph, and Solomon, up to the time of the Ezrahites, meaning the writing of the Book of Psalms spanned a thousand years. Psalms were an ancient art form, combining poetry and performance. As such, we might imagine "open mic" nights around a fire, sort of a pass the guitar affair, a poetry slam with poets and musicians performing their favorites, as young maidens danced about with timbrels. Poets would try to outdo each other with paeans of praise, and seek to see who could describe the most excruciating dark night of the soul. Some of these psalms were sung and performed for a thousand years before being included in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible-which became the Old Testament in the Christian Bible. So, for a thousand years they were mainly an oral tradition, undergoing countless changes and variations before being entombed as scripture. Then once they became a part of the Tanakh and the Bible, they underwent myriad translations and versions over ever more centuries, right up to today-including this one!What, you might then ask, is left of the original psalms? No way of knowing. But does it matter? What has come down to us is of inestimable value. Perhaps some things were lost or distorted as these psalms made their way through the centuries. Or perhaps the waters of time have been kind to them, removing the superfluous and polishing the essence. Again, no way of knowing.My personal connection with The Psalms began when I used to visit a Trappist monastery and chant psalms at all hours with the monks. Many years later, for no particular reason, I was moved to memorize the 23rd psalm. During the following year I had occasion to recite it at the deathbeds of my father, my mother, and my spiritual mentor as they passed. This book, The Book of Psalms: A Psalter for Seekers in Extraordinary Times, is excerpted from a larger work-in-progress, The Holy Bible: King James Reader's Version. My method in this work is to start with the King James Version of the Bible, then consult 40 other versions as I create what I believe to be the most faithful and poetic version of each verse, while retaining the lilt and rhythms of the King James Version that we have come to associate with biblical passages.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 266 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | From Magic, White and Black: The only true religion is the religion of Love, and Love does not quarrel. If you wish to progress on the road to perfection, take lessons in Love. There is nothing higher than Man obtaining a perfect knowledge of Self. The beginning of all real knowledge is the knowledge of Self. The renunciation of self is necessarily followed by spiritual growth. The true religion of universal Love knows of no "self." The greatest of all illusions is the illusion of "self." Man's only true friend and redeemer is the God he carries within himself. Belief in external gods strengthens the illusions of self. God is good or evil according to the conditions under which he acts, for if God did not include evil as well as good, he would not be universal. Nothing is permanent but the real ideal, the Truth. To know Truth in its fullness is to become alive and immortal. The highest state of spiritual consciousness is the full and complete realization of Divine Truth. Thought is the creative power in the universe. Thought is the great power by which forms are called into existence. Concentration of thought gives shape to ideas and condenses the formless into forms. To give pure and perfect expression to thought is White Magic. The knowledge of God and the knowledge of Man are ultimately identical. He who knows himself knows God. To learn to know God means to learn to know your own Divine Self. All during his life, man creates the condition wherein he will live in the hereafter. Physical death is no gain. It cannot give us that which we do not already possess. We should enter the higher life now, instead of waiting for it to come to us in the hereafter.
