Este livro apresenta temas inter-relacionados de ascensão, tal como se reflectem na vida, nos tempos e na obra de Annie Rix Militz: a) a ascensão do Novo Pensamento, sendo o Lar da Verdade uma manifestação única desta cosmovisão religiosa cada vez mais popular, b) a ascensão das mulheres como líderes religiosas legítimas, geradas pelo Movimento Feminista e capazes de identificar e socorrer a verdadeira angústia existencial e teológica entre géneros, numa sociedade dominada pelos homens, e c) a ascensão de Los Angeles, na Califórnia, como um terreno fértil para as expressões institucionais dos sentimentos espirituais populares, bem como um dos principais inventores, destiladores e exportadores do "sonho americano" para o resto dos Estados Unidos. A visão do mundo de Militz, institucionalizada nos seus Lares da Verdade e articulada no periódico Master Mind que publicou em Los Angeles de 1911 até à sua morte em 1924, reflectia a ascensão de novos modos de perceção do mundo que se estavam a tornar elementos fortes e permanentes do carácter americano no início do século XX.

Questo libro presenta temi interrelati dell'ascensione come si riflettono nella vita, nei tempi e nelle opere di Annie Rix Militz: a) l'ascensione del Nuovo Pensiero, di cui la Casa della Verità è una manifestazione unica di questa visione religiosa sempre più popolare; b) l'ascensione delle donne come leader religiosi legittimi, generati dal Movimento Femminista e capaci di identificare e soccorrere il vero disagio esistenziale e teologico attraverso il genere in una società altrimenti dominata dagli uomini, e c) l'ascesa di Los Angeles, California, come fertile terreno di coltura per le espressioni istituzionali dei sentimenti spirituali popolari e come principale inventore, distillatore ed esportatore del "sogno americano" nel resto degli Stati Uniti. La visione del mondo di Militz, istituzionalizzata nelle sue Case della Verità e articolata nel periodico Master Mind, che pubblicò a Los Angeles dal 1911 fino alla sua morte nel 1924, rifletteva l'ascesa di nuovi modi di percepire il mondo che stavano diventando elementi forti e permanenti del carattere americano all'inizio del XX secolo.

Ce livre présente les thèmes interdépendants de l'ascension tels qu'ils se reflètent dans la vie, l'époque et l'¿uvre d'Annie Rix Militz : a) l'ascension de la Nouvelle Pensée, la Maison de la Vérité étant une manifestation unique de cette vision du monde religieuse de plus en plus populaire, b) l'ascension des femmes en tant que leaders religieux légitimes issus du Mouvement Féministe et capables d'identifier et d'aider les véritables détresses existentielles et théologiques au-delà du genre dans une société par ailleurs dominée par les hommes, et c) l'ascension de Los Angeles, Californie, en tant que terreau fertile pour les expressions institutionnelles de la Nouvelle Pensée, et c) l'ascension de Los Angeles, en Californie, en tant que terre fertile pour l'expression institutionnelle des sentiments spirituels populaires et en tant qu'inventeur, distillateur et exportateur majeur du "rêve américain" vers le reste des États-Unis. La vision du monde de Militz, institutionnalisée dans ses Maisons de la Vérité et articulée dans le périodique Master Mind qu'elle publia à Los Angeles de 1911 jusqu'à sa mort en 1924, reflétait l'ascension de nouveaux modes de perception du monde qui devenaient des éléments forts et permanents du caractère américain au début du vingtième siècle.

Dieses Buch stellt zusammenhängende Themen des Aufstiegs vor, wie sie sich im Leben, in der Zeit und im Werk von Annie Rix Militz widerspiegeln: a) der Aufstieg von New Thought, wobei das Home of Truth eine einzigartige Manifestation dieser zunehmend populären religiösen Weltanschauung ist, b) der Aufstieg von Frauen als legitime religiöse Führerinnen, die von der feministischen Bewegung hervorgebracht wurden und in der Lage sind, wahre existentielle und theologische Notlagen in einer ansonsten von Männern dominierten Gesellschaft zu erkennen und zu lindern, und c) der Aufstieg von Los Angeles, Kalifornien, als fruchtbarer Nährboden für die institutionellen Ausdrucksformen populärer spiritueller Gefühle sowie als wichtiger Erfinder, Destillateur und Exporteur des "amerikanischen Traums" in den Rest der Vereinigten Staaten. Militz' Weltanschauung, die sie in ihren "Homes of Truth" institutionalisierte und in der Zeitschrift "Master Mind" zum Ausdruck brachte, die sie von 1911 bis zu ihrem Tod im Jahr 1924 in Los Angeles herausgab, spiegelte den Aufstieg neuer Formen der Weltwahrnehmung wider, die im frühen 20.

Imagine you're in a museum. You might spot a gargantuan four-poster bed that was a 16th century pub tourist attraction or a threadbare sackcloth robe worn in church by a 17th century adulteress. Yet despite their rarity, we often fail to engage with these extraordinary objects. We simply nod and move on. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through its 26 Treasures project, writers' collective 26 is exploring how to create emotional connections between objects and individuals. In 2010, London's Victoria & Albert museum chose 26 objects from its British Galleries and randomly assigned them to 26 writers. Each person wrote exactly 62 words - 26 in reflection - in response to the object. The results were beautiful, surprising, lyrical, sometimes comical. Andrew Motion wrote about a bust of Homer, a 17th century Chinese porcelain figure reminded a writer of a pub landlord in Inverness, while the wedding suit of James 11 inspired 62 words about 'a suit as full of scratches as a rose-garden'. In 2011 they took the idea to the National Library of Wales, the Ulster Museum and the National Museum of Scotland, where writers were let loose on objects as disparate as a mediaeval illuminated book, a beggar's badge and a 16th century Scottish guillotine. It seems that all writers and readers treasure connections with the past through objects - personal ones and those displayed in museums. There are more than a hundred writers involved in this collection, including many of the best-known literary authors in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The result is an exquisite illustrated book, where the 104 objects and their accompanying sestudes appear side-by-side.
