Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In these vibrant writings, spiritual educator John Roger Barrie provides an accessible introduction to mystical and transcendent elements within four religious traditions. Rounding off this notable interfaith collection are five penetrating articles written from a spiritual perspective, focusing on transformative, experiential realization.This book provides an accessible introduction to mystical or transcendent elements within Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism. Also included are four original articles written from a spiritual perspective, as well as an essay on Kierkegaard, whose works popularized Existentialism. These topics are approached with a spirit of eclecticism and, toward this end, an effort has been made to show similarities within these mystical traditions rather than differences. The aim is to distill the essence of traditional mystical thought and render it in contemporary terms without compromising its intent.Published for the first time are excerpts from the author's 2007 interview with the late noted American Zen Buddhist teacher Richard B. Clarke.Throughout these writings several common themes emerge: True religion entails experiential, mystical realization, without which religion remains, in essence, an intellectual hobby or a social club. Spirituality must be based on ethics. Experiential spiritual realization transforms conduct, character, and consciousness. Personal transformation precedes changes in relationships and society.A recurring theme in many of these writings is the author's criticism of the excesses of commercialism, superficial religious scholars, hypocritical spiritual teachers, and non-transformational churchgoing. This criticism, however, is constructively balanced by citing many examples that demonstrate genuine mysticism.The Forgotten Gospel of Christ and Other Writings on Spirituality takes a deep dive into the very heart of mysticism.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first time these vital Gerald Heard articles have all been assembled in one book.Gerald Heard: The Perennial Philosopher - Writings on Religion and Spirituality is a collection of 49 previously published religious and spiritual writings - ranging from Christianity to Vedanta to various spiritual practices - by influential author-historian-philosopher Gerald Heard (1889-1971). These writings demonstrate the trailblazing inroads Heard made both in disseminating the interfaith Vedanta movement in the West and in popularizing many leading-edge spiritual approaches and practices that are now commonplace.Writings include the complete Voice of India and (except for one article) the complete Vedanta and the West series, and selected writings from other sources, including The Aryan Path, Christendom, The Christian Century, Faith and Freedom, Religion in Life, as well as a dynamic new compilation from Heard's three early 1940s spiritual books. Altogether, the articles in this collection span the years 1938 to 1963.Editor John Roger Barrie writes, 'Gerald Heard didn't follow trends; he set them. These visionary writings chart the trajectory of an informed spiritual voyager plotting an interreligious route through largely untraversed terrain, leaving a clearly defined trail for those following after. .'In this collection, Gerald's main focus is on Vedanta and Christianity. Moreover, he provides brilliant analyses of the human condition, inspired insights into human nature and the inner workings of the mind, intimate details of many spiritual processes, and he knowledgeably discusses various spiritual disciplines whereby a person may apply the principles of the Philosophia Perennis in order to bring about experiential spiritual realization.'This treasury of writings has been thoroughly edited to render them as clear as possible and, in keeping with contemporary usage conventions and sensibilities, to reflect inclusive, gender-neutral, and sensitive wording wherever possible. Five articles have been abridged to improve their readability. All told, this vital collection of diverse writings underscores Gerald Heard's enormous contributions to the spiritual praxis of the past and amply demonstrates his continuing relevance for today.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 60th Anniversary Special Hardcover Edition!The Five Ages of Humanity (a revised and retitled edition of The Five Ages of Man) is the 1964 masterwork by influential author, historian, and philosopher Gerald Heard (1889-1971). Heard explores many parallels between the historical development of human consciousness and the life of an individual. He maintains there are five stages through which human consciousness evolves.With a new foreword by noted educator Thomas Armstrong, PhD, and two notable new endorsements, The Five Ages of Humanity promises to reach a new generation of readers with its endless wealth of ideas.In his foreword, Dr. Armstrong praises Heard's book as 'This incredible synthesis, this rich feast, this sumptuous festival of ideas. . Heard argues that historical consciousness progresses along a course that mirrors a similar pattern in individual development. Taken as a guide to the human life cycle, The Five Ages of Humanity includes a staggering range of progressive ideas and practices for the optimal development of each stage of life from birth to old age.'In Heard's words, 'By extending and applying the already accepted principles of phylogeny and ontogeny [to] the social and personal history of man, a real psychological interpretation of history can be made. History can now be seen as the reflection cast by the evolving consciousness of [humanity].'Heard contends that humankind's consciousness has evolved in five distinct stages, each of which recapitulates a historical epoch. Each of these stages has a dysfunctional characteristic that handicaps the individual and the human species. Heard proposes ways by which each dysfunctional characteristic might be remedied through various practices.This newly updated, authorized edition of The Five Ages of Humanity includes new tables; an expanded glossary; a new editor's preface and afterword; corrections to various spelling, formatting, and factual errors; and additional minor edits.In addition, this 60th Anniversary Special Hardcover Edition of The Five Ages of Humanity includes a first-ever comprehensive index; four rare black-and-white photos of Gerald Heard with various high-profile individuals; images of two pages from the original typewritten Five Ages manuscript; a facsimile of Gerald Heard's handwriting and signature; and a new 60th Anniversary editor's preface.…
