An expanded edition of the original classic, long out-of-print, The Mystic Symbol describes thousands of Christian, inscribed tablets, unearthed across Michigan. The Michigan Mound Builders left behind 10,000 to 30,000 artifacts as a testament to their presence in North America. Mound burials have yielded evidence of a culture with Eastern Hemisphere influence in their spiritual and everyday life. Controversy has engulfed this find of artifacts mainly because they were here before Columbus of 1492 which is unacceptable to our academics today. Nevertheless, the Michigan artifacts continue to surface even today in the state of Michigan. This is fascinating look into North America's diverse history.

“You shall have no other gods besides Me.” This injunction, handed down through Moses three thousand years ago, marks one of the most decisive shifts in Western culture: away from polytheism toward monotheism. Despite the momentous implications of such a turn, the role of idolatry in giving it direction and impetus is little understood. This book examines the meaning and nature of idolatry—and, in doing so, reveals much about the monotheistic tradition that defines itself against this sin.The authors consider Christianity and Islam, but focus primarily on Judaism. They explore competing claims about the concept of idolatry that emerges in the Hebrew Bible as a “whoring after false gods.” Does such a description, grounded in an analogy of sexual relations, presuppose the actual existence of other gods with whom someone might sin? Or are false gods the product of “men’s hands,” simply a matter of misguided belief? The authors show how this debate, over idolatry as practice or error, has taken shape and has in turn shaped the course of Western thought—from the differentiation between Jewish and Christian conceptions of God to the distinctions between true and false belief that inform the tradition of religious enlightenment.Ranging with authority from the Talmud to Maimonides, from Marx to Nietzsche and on to G.E. Moore, this brilliant account of a subject central to our culture also has much to say about metaphor, myth, and the application of philosophical analysis to religious concepts and sensibilities. Its insights into pluralism and intolerance, into the logic and illogic of the arguments religions aim at each other, make Idolatry especially timely and valuable in these days of dark and implacable religious difference.
The amazing Secrets of the mystic east by Norvell Pdf
You were born into one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Your soul was projected into a vital, living body, with a creative thinking brain that shares in the mystery called "Life." Did you ever stop to question the reason for your being in this world, sharing in these magnificent life experiences, enjoying the excitement of love, the adventure of discovery and the creation of the miracle of new life? Can the true purpose behind your life be one of mere sensual enjoyment, animal appetites, the search for money, power, fame and fortune? Or is there a deeper, more mystical reason why you were born? THE TAPESTRY OF TIMELESS WISDOM This tapestry of timeless wisdom that comes to us from the Far East and the Middle East, which tries to comprehend and chart the invisible forces of life, is called Mysticism. Some of the greatest revelations of all time have come to us from the mystical lands of ancient India, China, Tibet and Egypt. These deeper mysteries have spread throughout the world, laying the foundations upon which civilization was built. Some of these great truths spread to Greece and influenced the philosophers of that ancient land. They were to be found in ancient Japan and laid the foundations for Shintoism and Buddhism. They became a part of the wisdom of Jerusalem, which comprised the background of the ancient Jewish faith, and ushered in the Christian dispensation. Moses's laws of the Ten Commandments and Jesus's Golden Rule and Sermon on the Mount have permeated the laws and educational systems upon which our Western civilization has been built. MIRACLES PERFORMED BY GREAT MYSTICS OF THE PAST The great mystics like Moses, Abraham and Jesus used some of these revelations which caused them to perform miracles in their time. Turning a stick into a crawling serpent, or changing water into wine, walking on the water, healing the sick, all these miraculous forces showed the use of ancient white magic and transcendental spiritual forces that came directly from the mystical lands of India, China, Tibet and Egypt. In fact, the teachings of the Far East and Mid-East preceded the teachings of the Christian mystic, Jesus, by several hundred years! ASK FOR A MIRACLE TODAY You can become a part of this great cosmic scheme of mysticism and ask for your own personal miracle today. You can use the forces of occultism, white magic, invocations, rituals, chants and meditations to release the creative energy of your own higher nature and perform miracles in your own life.

The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas by Max Heindel Pdf
Of all the seasons of the year, Christmas season is the one that most rejoices our spirit, and predisposes our soul towards the most beautiful virtues. A sense of hope and renewal fills the hearts, and an atmosphere of ethereal happiness permeates our homes. Max Heindel, a notable Danish-American mystic, and member of Freemasonry and the Rosicrucian fraternity of his time, presents us with a text that elucidates the spiritual symbolism of Christmas, so as not to forget its deepest aspect in our lives. Now more than ever, in this globalized world that pays so much attention to materialism and banality, we need to remember that during the time when we commemorate the birth of Jesus, The Christ, it is necessary to return to reflection, and to the deep origin that gives reason to the Christmas festivities. Heindel reminds us that to perceive the incarnate Christ on earth, under the personality of Jesus, the Jewish avatar, we must first find the latent Christ, the potential Christ awaiting to be discovered within us. Under the premise that we all carry in us the germ of enlightenment, and that we can evolve our soul to reach the Christic state, Max Heindel explains throughout the text how we should remember this spiritual fact, during the time of Christmas, and strive to follow the path that leads to the Enlightenment of the soul. Max Heindel's exhortation is rather direct: do not miss the opportunity, during the Christmas season, to allow the inner Christ to be born in our hearts, and thus, from within, to be able to recognize the message and mission of the historical Christ, our Master. and redeemer. Holos Arts Project is pleased to rescue this interesting text: "The Mystical Meaning of Christmas", by the important scholar Max Heindel, so it will accompany you on your path of reflection and spiritual growth.
