Showing titles in Theosophy

In 'Light On the Path,' Collins serves as a beacon of light, offering practical insights and spiritual guidance for those seeking enlightenment. Through her clear and insightful narration, she invites listeners to explore the nature of reality, the self, and the spiritual journey itself.

Mead notices that modern students often shrug off or dismiss the mysteries and wisdom of the ages, as unimportant. He argues that spirit is entirely absent from the religion of today, because it has been divorced from science. And, what was once considered religion to the primitive man is very different than what is considered religion now. Psychology, what he called the science of antiquity, is what is needed for the student of the mysteries to regain their foothold in the world.

So memory, experience, knowledge is the background of thought. But thought which is always old can never be free, it may express itself freely but it is always old; and therefore thought can never see anything new. So when I understand that, very clearly, the mind becomes quiet.

Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but also a different quality of affection, love. What is the function of a religious mind? Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? What is the content of the unconscious?

C Jinarajadasa was a writer, philosopher, Freemason and prominent theosophist of his day. This particular piece is a lecture he gave in 1905, and he discusses consciousness, the inseparable duality of love and beauty, Plato's world of ideas, the divine mind and other related topics.

In questo libro si vuol dare una descrizione di alcune parti del mondo soprasensibile. chi voglia ammettere soltanto quello sensibile, riterrà tale descrizione un vacuo prodotto della fantasia. Ma chi voglia cercar le vie che conducono fuori del mondo dei sensi, arriverà presto a comprendere che la vita umana acquista valore e significato soltanto se si penetri con lo sguardo in un altro mondo. Questa penetrazione non distoglie l'uomo, come molti temono, dalla vita "reale". Poiché solo per tale via egli impara a star saldo e sicuro nella vita.

We live in a diverse and multicultural world where spiritualists use their thoughts and prayers to awaken abundance, joy and alchemy in their lives. What if the mantras we use in our times of common-union (“communion”) could, in fact, be used synergistically? The Five World Mantras are Om, Amen, Allah, AUM and Tao. Billions of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and Taoists have used them for thousands of years to empower their thoughts and prayers.

Leadbeater describes what a non-member might expect to encounter behind closed doors at a Theosophical Lodge meeting, such as he would have attended in his day, what they may get out of it, what they might give and what is gained by all, through this collective group of individuals coming together. The outcome is likely not all that different from every real occult lodge, not just the theosophical ones.

There is no mind without idea, thought and verbalization. There is no experiencer and the experience; there is only a state of experiencing. One cannot think about immortality. If one can live in the state of only experiencing then there is a state in which ideation has stopped altogether. Is it possible to have direct experience of that which is not thinkable and which cannot be put into words?

Dark night of the soul, spirituality, ascension. These were all new concepts to KR. A whole new world had opened up to him. Willing to explore this new world, KR embraced the future with an open mind. And then there was Theresa, the catalyst that awakened him, sending him on a quest for answers that led him to a juncture of two paths, where anything could be manifested.

C. Jinarajadasa was a writer, philosopher, prominent Theosophist of his day, as well as a Freemason. In this particular piece (originally published in 1915), the author takes a scholarly examination and ritual dissection of the Catholic Mass. Among the many topics that he discusses are: the creed, the altar, the vestments, the collect and epistle, commemoration of the dead, Prajapati, and more.

Mit diesen Vorträgen bekommen die Hörer einen prompten Einblick in die Anthroposophie.

Curuppumullage Jinarajadasa was a writer, philosopher, Freemason, and prominent Theosophist of his day. In this particular piece, a lecture given in 1911 for the 36th annual convention of the Theosophical Society, the author speaks on reincarnation, consciousness, and the soul.

Dieser Vortrag, gehalten im Dezember 1912 ist einer der bekanntesten Einzelbeiträge Rudolf Steiners. In guter theosophischer Manier wird ein Thema tiefendurchleuchtet. In einem erstaunlichen Umweg erfahren wir, dass wirkliche Liebe immer selbstlos ist. Nebenbei werden alle Leute, die beim Wort "Liebe" gleich wonnevoll sich erwärmen oder jene, die sich "nett" verhalten, um später "im Himmel" sich einen "netten" Platz zu sichern, mit dem Satz "Liebe ist Abschlagszahlung für die Vergangenheit" wohl etwas ernüchtert.

Annie Besant was a writer, lecturer, prominent Theosophist, and women's rights activist of her time. She was a frequent contributor to various Theosophical publications of her day. This particular piece was a lecture delivered to the League of Liberal Christianity at Manchester in May of 1911, regarding a global awakening of consciousness that she felt she was witnessing at the time.

A prolific and influential writer of his day, George Robert Stowe Mead was heavily involved in Hermetic and Gnostic scholarship of the time. Mead states that Theosophic faith is the precursor to Gnosis, and such is his approach to an introduction on the subject. He writes of the death of conventional knowledge and the birth of Theosophy and discusses his personal realizations and self-awakenings that led to his involvement with the Theosophical Society.

Nach Abschluss seines esoterischen Hauptwerkes, der Geheimwissenschaft im Umriss von 1910, suchte Rudolf Steiner immer wieder nach neuen Wegen, die nunmehr im Kern entwickelte Anthroposophie in andere sprachliche und textuelle Formen zu bringen. Mit den Schriften Ein Weg zur Selbsterkenntnis des Menschen (1912) und Die Schwelle der geistigen Welt (1913) unternahm er den Versuch, zentrale Aspekte des anthroposophischen Denkens in Form von kurzen Meditationstexten zu entwickeln.

Quest'opera, pubblicata nel 1877 dalla famosa filosofa e veggente Helena Blavatsky, è così corposa da essere stata divisa in due grandi parti. Associandola strettamente con le dottrine esoteriche dell'ermetismo e del neoplatonismo, Blavatsky descrisse la teosofia come la sintesi della scienza, della religione e della filosofia, affermando il proposito di far rivivere in forma nuova la grande sapienza dei misteri antichi, già intravista a suo tempo dalle religioni maggiori.

In this unique audiobook combining science, metaphysics, meditation, and religion, Alex Red Kenaton focuses your awareness by disclosing precious information that will give you an insight to the many connections within oneself. A stream of consciousness depicting reflections and dialogues in the form of a loose interior monologue connection, characterized by some associative leaps in thought, this uncommon audiobook is held together by the author’s passion for science, spirituality, and an unrelenting search for truth.

In questo secondo volume viene approfondita la storia delle religioni, ricostruendo come l'unico raggio della religione originale sia passato attraverso il prisma delle diverse situazioni storiche e culturali diventando varie religioni, e queste, a loro volta, si siano sfumate in sette. Particolarmente accurato il confronto tra le storie di Crishna, Buddha e Gesù che mostrano analogie tali da sciogliere ogni dubbio in quanto alla loro origine comune. Un'opera indispensabile per chiunque sia in cammino su un percorso spirituale.
