Mirror of the Intellect by Titus Burckhardt Pdf

Titus Burckhardt was Swiss and an eminent member of the traditionalist school. He is perhaps best known to the English-speaking public as the author of the following books: Sacred Art in East and West; Siena, City of the Virgin; Moorish Culture in Spain; and Alchemy: Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul. A generation ago, he won much acclaim for producing and publishing the first successful, full-scale facsimiles of the Book of Kells and other ancient manuscripts. In more recent years, he acted as a specialist advisor to UNESCO, with particular reference to the preservation of the unique architectural heritage of Fez, which was then in danger. The present volume is a complete collection of Burckhardt's essays, originally published in a variety of German and French journals. They range from modern science in its various forms, through Christianity and Islam, to symbolism and mythology. It is a rich collection. Burckhardt blends an accessible style with a penetrating insight. He interprets the metaphysical, cosmological, and symbolic dimensions of these sacred traditions from the perspective of timeless, spiritual wisdom.

So what is beyond the wonderful? It is taking a quantum leap into the seeded possibilities of what Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan called “the pull of the future”. We invite you to use your highest imagination to realize the creative dynamic between the manifest and transcendent parts of your being, through which life’s problems become portals to the sacred.

Ultimately, life is your teacher that presents you with never-ending opportunities for awakening and growth. In this book, we offer an approach to spirituality in which you will learn to develop your faculty of creative imagination, modulate your consciousness, and discover yourself as a multidimensional being by working with many practices and guided meditations. By deepening the relationship between your manifest and transcendent aspects, you enable new possibilities to emerge which transform the world.

Classical Theism by Jonathan Fuqua,Robert C. Koons Pdf

This volume provides a contemporary account of classical theism. It features 17 original essays from leading scholars that advance the discussion of classical theism in new and interesting directions. It’s safe to say that classical theism—the view that God is simple, omniscient, and the greatest possible being—is no longer the assumed view in analytic philosophy of religion. It is often dismissed as being rooted in outdated metaphysical systems of the sort advanced by ancient and medieval philosophers. The main purpose of this volume is twofold: to provide a contemporary account of what classical theism is and to advance the scholarly discussion about classical theism. In Section I, the contributors offer a clear and cutting-edge account of the nature and existence of the God and the historical and theological foundations of classical theism. Section II contains chapters on a variety of topics, such as whether classical theism’s doctrine of simplicity needs revision, whether simplicity is compatible with the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, and whether the hypothesis of a multiplicity of divine ideas is consistent with divine simplicity, among others. Classical Theism will appeal to scholars and advanced students in the philosophy of religion who are interested in the nature of God.

Our Father Who Makes Unity Beautiful by Willie Wright Pdf

We all engage in relationships for various reasons. Good communication is the key to having a good relationship. The writings show biblical principles of unity and beauty established in the book of Genesis. These principles are reviewed to show how these same biblical principles apply to relationships today. Information from the book of Genesis and the book of Galatians is used to merge the Old Testament biblical principles to New Testament principles about the Fruit of the Spirit. Specific examples of communication issues in personal relationships are detailed to help the reader identify Godly ways to resolve conflict in communication. The connection between unity and beauty is used to address Godly ways to navigate Spiritual warfare.

Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain by Nicodemus (van de Heilige Berg) Pdf

Nicodemos (1749-1809), a monk of Saint Athos dedicated to asceticism and learning, was one of the most influential Orthodox writers of the last two centuries. His Handbook, written during the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, shares an exalted vision of human nature, but a vision that proceeds from the truths of revelation as interpreted by the Greek Fathers, not Descartes.
