Mysticisme

This book is an original, non-denominational approach to the concept of divinity. The basic underlying philosophy is that, since the existence of God cannot be proven, one can only hypothesize about his/her/its existence. Mystics claim to know God through direct experience. Their views are amply represented. In conclusion, a hypothesis of divinity is formulated, inspired by the mystical view of the omnipresence of the Divine.

Paths to Infinity explores a wide range of New Age, Mystical, Quantum, Spiritual, Indigenous, and Self-Help theories and ideas.

By divine right do we affirm the evolution of Spirit. It is inscribed in our hearts as a living fire. The Yoga of the Sacred Fire is simple and direct. It leads straight up the rocky crags to the rarefied heights of Infinity. By refining the consciousness in the fire of the heart, we will certainly realize the joy and freedom of the higher worlds. Precisely, the heart, says the Teacher, can open the entrance into the higher worlds. No special asceticism is needed, love, labor and beauty are within the reach of all.The Way of the Sacred Fire leads to union with the divine through the natural affinity that exists between the fire of the heart and the fiery Heart Essence of the Universe. As we embrace this divine Fire our spiritual sensitivity increases, drawing us up, like a magnet, into the higher worlds and the Oneness of Being.

In reference to this present work, a classic of Western Spirituality, my own background as priest and as an eremitical ascetic of the Lankavatarian path places me squarely in both traditions thus offering a unique vantage point concerning Ascetical Contemplation. There are two primary forms of Contemplation. Active Contemplation utilizes many different types of experiential tools in encountering the Transcendent: reading, imagination, music, monastic liturgical settings, walking, attunement with nature, etc. Infused Contemplation, which is the core of this present work, means being stripped naked of all phenomena and what is left is the all-piercing awareness of the Absolute as Absolute-undivided and devoid of all secondary characteristics. The primary factor to consider here is that of ascesis, or the deafening silence and solitude that are part and parcel of the spiritual discipline required in which to undertake such an audacious task. Infused Contemplation is a passive one, devoid as it is of all action thus opening itself to the movement of the primordial spirit. It's a self-emptying in order to be filled with the Absolute Fullness of the Unborn. Pure Contemplatives, therefore, live a life of total solitude in the dark silence of the Great Void that is devoid of all defiling characteristics. This rendition of The Cloud of Unknowing is written in Light of the Unborn-meaning those associated spiritual principles found within UnbornMind Zen. The text is followed by a commentary. All in all, it's an eclectic work designed to dissolve the barriers of sectarianism that prevents one from directly experiencing a Contemplative spiritual path that is open to all, regardless of their religious orientations; such is the beauty of these Universal Truths whose Light shines upon all.Dedicated to empowering others to realize their full human and divine-spiritual potential, Vajragoni has worked as a Spiritual Mentor and writer for Thirty-Seven years. He holds a Master's Degree in Theology from Seton Hall University and lives in upstate New York.

The chapters of this book are transcriptions of talks and dialogs from within a private circle of spiritual practitioners. This collection explores subjects such as developing intention, will, awareness, awakening our capacities for love, reducing the domination of ego, honoring the masters, saints, and prophets that have gone before. As the saying goes, "The body is fed through the mouth; the soul is feed through the ear.""Reading these talks, with their smoothly unfolding mix of Sufi stories, Rumi's poetry, illuminating personal experiences, and scriptural reminders, constantly feels like being in the presence of a modern-day Rumi. Those pedagogical elements may be familiar to some, but here they are infused with a palpable universality, accessibility, practical focus, comprehensiveness-and above all, with a constant, assured sense of reality and immediacy-that movingly reflect a lifetime of spiritual experience, commitment, and engagement with fellow journeyers from many different religions, cultures, and pathways of realization." ~Prof. James W. Morris, Boston College, author of The Reflective Heart

"This poetry addresses the interconnection of individual, communal, and global trauma, towards collective liberation. In Hebrew, the words for wilderness, speaker, and speaks are spelled the same and share the same root letters. Goodman Herrick's title, from a poem in the collection, references the Torah's BaMidbar (in the wilderness or desert) and her ancestor's ritual practice of elevating etymology, roots, and folk word associations as spiritual meditation. The author returns to her roots and original wholeness through reconnecting language: "Wilderness speaks/ A speaker is a wilderness." Goodman Herrick survived sexual assault in her teens by a classmate, and left home at 14. The grandchild of an Auschwitz survivor, she's been a New York City club kid, MTV writer-producer, a peacemaker around the world, nun at a Vedanta convent, and student of Chassidic rabbis. This expansiveness lives in her poems. The book invites readers to reconsider prayer and blessing as an ongoing, fluid, language, holding space for the reverent and irreverent as prophetic"--

"On the centennial of the first appearance (1923) of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, award-winning translator Mark Burrows reveals their depth and meaning with a brilliant new introduction and translation. This new translation captures the lyric beauty of Rilke's poems, honoring their syntactic peculiarities and grammatical complexities as few translators have dared to do. Burrows' versions maintain the essential strangeness of language and abruptness of metaphor by which the sonnets attain their distinctive character in German. Burrows' approach replicates what one reviewer describes as the poems' "dazzling obscurity," refusing to resolve the deliberate difficulties Rilke's formulations present. The effect invites readers to linger with these sonnets, allowing themselves to be shaped in their encounter with them"--

" C¿est à vous, ma Mère chérie, à vous qui êtes deux fois ma Mère, que je viens confier l¿histoire de mon âme... Le jour où vous m¿avez demandé de le faire, il me semblait que cela dissiperait mon c¿ur en l¿occupant de lui-même, mais depuis Jésus m¿a fait sentir qüen obéissant simplement je lui serais agréable ; d¿ailleurs je ne vais faire qüune seule chose : Commencer à chanter ce que je dois redire éternellement : « Les Miséricordes du Seigneur... » (NHA 101) (Ps 89,2) Avant de prendre la plume, je me suis agenouillée devant la statue de Marie (NHA 102) (celle qui nous a donné tant de preuves des maternelles préférences de la Reine du Ciel pour notre famille,) je l¿ai suppliée de guider ma main afin que je ne trace pas une seule ligne qui ne lui soit agréable. Ensuite ouvrant le Saint Evangile, mes yeux sont tombés sur ces mots : « Jésus étant monté sur une montagne, il appela à Lui ceux qüil lui plut ; et ils vinrent à Lui. » (Saint Marc, chap. III, v. 13)."

Das Verhältnis zwischen Religion und Wissen wurde im Verlauf der letzten Jahrhunderteimmer wieder ausführlich von Philosophen und Autoren diskutiert, wobei sich nur selten ein Konsens bilden konnte. Die Beschäftigung mit der heiklen Thematik zeigte sich allerdings nie so stark wie im 19. Jahrhundert, in welchem die Verwissenschaftlichung der Religion und die Re-Metaphysierung des Wissens zwei Rivalitätsmächte bildeten. Genau diese Aspekte thematisierendie WerkeS¿urPhilomène und Madame Gervaisais der Brüder Goncourt, die sich wiederum durch eine strukturierte literarische Darstellungsweise auszeichnen. Die Autoren beziehen sich in ihren Romanen auf Wirklichkeitsmodellierungen, welche sich von wissenschaftlichen Betrachtungen nähren, in konkreten historischen Momenten positionieren und durch einen einzigartigen impressionistischen Stil herausragen. Das Ergebnis ist schließlich eine literarische Ästhetisierung von Religion und Hysterie:So manifestieren sich am Ende reale Beobachtungen, fiktive Überarbeitungen und Überhöhungen, mystische und rationale Welten in einer kunstvollen dichterischen Darstellung der Brüder Goncourt.

Twin Flames have a shared ongoing sentiment and quest from the moment they're a spark shooting out of God's love that explodes into a blinding white fire that breaks apart causing one to be two, until two become one again, separate and whole, and back around again. Looking into the eyes of your Twin Flame is like looking into the eyes of God, because to know love is to know God. When one thinks of a Soul Mate or Twin Flame, they might equate it to a passionate romantic relationship where you're making love on a white sandy palm tree lined beach in paradise for the rest of your lives. This beautiful mythological notion has caused great turmoil in others who long for this person that fits the description of a lothario character in a romance novel. It is also an unrealistic and misguided interpretation of the Soul Mate or Twin Flame dynamic. Twin Flame Soul Connections discusses and lists some of the various myths and truths surrounding the Twin Flames, and how to identify if you've come into contact with your Twin Flame, or if you know someone who has. The ultimate goal is not to find ones Twin Flame, but to awaken ones heart to love, and to work on becoming complete and whole as an individual soul through spiritual self-mastery, life lessons, growth, and raising your consciousness. Your soul's life was born out of love and will die right back into that love. Chapter Topics Include: Karmic Soul Connections, Soul Mate Soul Connections, The Twin Flame Craze, The Birth of Twin Flames, Masculine, Feminine, Yin, and Yang, The Light and Dark, Higher and Lower Energies, Twin Flames: The Romantic and Non-Romantic, Twin Flames: Age and Location, Twin Flames: Example Couples, Twin Flames: Genders, Gay, Straight, Homosexual, Heterosexual, Twin Flames: Runner, Chaser, Push and Pull, Twin Flames: Mirrors, Goals, Missions and Purposes, Technology Strengths and Challenges, Twin Flames: Coming Together, Is This Person My Twin Flame?, Twin Flames: Spiritual Growth, Twin Flames: Recapping the Truths and Myths of Twin Flames, The Twin Flame Summary Cheat Sheet

It is sometimes said that at the heart of all spiritual traditions, we find essentially the same values of love, virtue, and altruism. However, one notion consistently resurfaces even more prominently in the discourse of the greatest mystics throughout history: self-knowledge. Far beyond a mere psychological endeavour, the path of personal revelation remains enigmatic. Aside from our physical forms, our tragedies, ecstasies, and opinions, what else is there to know? Do we simultaneously inhabit multiple worlds, and if so, how do we inquire into our subtlest aspects? Does this bewildering quest inexorably lead us to redefine our own concept of reality?Facing the turbulence of our era, many of us are plagued by a growing sense of confusion. However, this feeling serves as an ideal starting point for the pursuit of self-knowledge, as it facilitates the emergence of the mystic's inquisitive spirit. By exploring oneself through the filters of philosophy, meditation, art, psychology, and divination, the introspective adept exposes themselves to their profound nature. It is through this journey that Zinfaendel, along with Dominic Vallée, invites you to the exciting discovery your true bearings, roots, and identity.

" Cet ouvrage s¿adresse surtout aux personnes désireuses de connaître la Mythologie traditionnelle des Grecs et des Latins. Il ne saurait entrer dans nos vues de faire ici ¿uvre d¿érudition, chose d¿ailleurs plus fastidieuse qüutile, si l¿on considère les différents ouvrages de ce genre parus depuis quelques années. Mais hâtons-nous d¿ajouter que ces ouvrages ne se lisent guère ; et nous nous proposons au contraire de nous faire lire, en donnant à ce travail un caractère d¿utilité. La Mythologie est évidemment une série de mensonges. Mais ces mensonges ont été, durant de longs siècles, des sujets de croyance. Ils ont eu, dans l¿esprit des Grecs et des Latins, la valeur de dogmes et de réalités. À ce titre, ils ont inspiré les hommes, soutenu des institutions parfois très respectables, suggéré aux artistes, aux poètes, aux littérateurs l¿idée de créations et même d¿admirables chefs-d¿¿uvre. C¿est donc, croyons-nous, un devoir de les respecter ici, et de les reproduire dans leur entière simplicité, sans pédantisme et sans commentaire, avec leurs étranges, leurs merveilleux détails, sans nous préoccuper de leur invraisemblance ou de leurs contradictions."

What came first? The chicken or the egg? This book irrefutably answers this question once and for all. From a scientific, alchemical and metaphysical perspective, one need only look deep into the fabric of the Cosmos to solve this ancient riddle. The Bible tells us that God created the world in 7 days. What the great book doesn't tell us, is exactly how this process of creation was conducted from a scientific vantage point. Together, we will explore the metaphysical systems and geometric archetypes of creation. From the Big Bang Theory, the concept of the Cosmic Egg down to Solar Systems and biological matter, we take a journey into the Cosmos to investigate the Origin of our existence through standard models of creation. Discover the scientific systems behind paradigms set in place at the dawn of Genesis. In this book, we explore some of the functions and roles of Sacred Geometric Archetypal energy forms, universal fractals, frequency, light and electromagnetism. These energies are fundamental factors of creative processes occurring at the dawn of creation. The Seed of Life represents a 7 step process of primordial manifestation. Building the Seed of Life defines events transpiring during the 7 days of Genesis from an alchemical perspective. We look deeply into the Architecture of the sacred geometric structure known as Metatrons Cube.In the World today, stress and change abound. Fear of the unknown, hopelessness and anxieties of various forms are on the rise in people of all ages. It is imperative for all of us to be reminded of the proper conduct and ethics set forth by the Natural Laws of the Universe. When we align ourselves to primordial energies such as these, we gain the power and control to change our lives for the better. How do we go about doing This? We start by gaining a knowledge of these universal codes. The laws of the Universe are a standard guide by which all members of the human race are bound. Those who read this book will gain a much greater understanding of the Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Attraction, the force of Karma and the Law of Correspondence. You will also come to discover that re-inventing yourself is something that we are all inherantly capable of doing. First, we have to choose a better life and then learn how to create that. Next, we put what has been learned into action. You will discover how learning to live in accordance with Universal Laws that govern human conduct can improve your life considerably. This wisdom helps us develop a deeper personal relationship with the Absolute. In this book, we look at the best and worst forms of human conduct in the eyes of God. What behavior is expected of us by our Creator? Understanding conduct that is adverse to Natural Law is of equal importance to knowing how to properly follow and abide by it. Transgressing these laws causes the effect of inescapable consequences. The manifested result is always the same. Negative circumstances and bad Karma. Clearly, acknowledgment of these laws is of vital significance. Are you curious as to how all things came into existence from a scientific vantage point? Do you seek observable proof of the creative forces of the Absolute at work in Nature? Are you interested in the alchemical origin of our Universe and all things in existence? What are the creative processes of God-Mind? How did our Source create all things during the 7 Holy days of Genesis? What is the true meaning of the Infinity symbol? Where do we go when we die? These questions and many more, are approached, examined and expanded upon in this book from a scientific perspective. Be prepared to expand your awareness of the metaphysical and alchemical processes of creation. Always Seek the Light!
