THE BREATH OF GOD IN MAN, OR THE TRUE ELIXIR OF LIFE. The "Unknown," the Divine Esse, or Absolute Being, has let himself down from his inscrutable height which cannot be scaled by finite thought, by three degrees of manifestation, and each successive stage of the revelation of himself is in itself, and taken by itself, a triad of principles, or a trinity in unity. The third is the Universal Life, a Diviue Principle or primordial substance (not in a material, but in a metaphysical sense). This is God as the intelligent Life of the world, and is called Adonai, or Lord. It may be viewed in thought, if you choose, as a person, for in the Oriental mind everything is personified. It is identical with the Holy Spirit of the New Testament. It is the ultimate expression of the Christ or Manifested God. In the Kabala, the divine name which corresponds to the tenth Sephira, or emanative principle, and which represents the whole realm of actuality (or matter) is Adonai, who is the everywhere present and all-intelligent life-force in nature. In the grand economy of existence, or the manifestation of being, it is the function of this demiurgic, or world-building intellect, to translate pre-existing subjective ideas into actuality, or objective forms and material representations. This will render clear all that we may say hereafter. There are certain plants which live wholly from the air, and all plants do so more or less, as a geranium placed under the exhausted receiver of an air-pump will die. Every vital process is instantly suspended. Now air is the correspondent of the Holy Spirit. Wind, which is air in motion, or as force, is the representation of Spirit in action. Hence Jesus says, "The Spirit bloweth (or breatheth) where it...

Book excerpt: First published in 1886, "Esoteric Christianity and Mental Therapeutics" is a fascinating treatise on the power of the mind to heal and connections to this idea found in Christianity and the Bible. Warren Felt Evans (1817-1889) was an American author famous for his writings related to the New Thought movement, a movement originating from 19th century United States based upon the ideas that God exists everywhere, sickness originates in the mind, and that thinking "correctly" has the ability to heal. He became a proponent of the movement during 1863 as a result of seeking healing from Phineas P. Quimby, the movement's founder. Contents include: "The Receptive Side of Human Nature, and the True Method of Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge", "Trust as a Saving or Healing Power", "What is the Fundamental Idea of Diseases? And What is it to heal Disease in Ourselves or Others?", "The Unchanging I AM in us, or the Divine and True Idea of Man", "Is Disease a Reality or an Illusion?", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an essay by William Al-Sharif.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers, which contains over 400 entries by nearly 300 authors, provides an account of philosophical thought in the United States and Canada between 1600 and 1860. The label of "philosopher" has been broadly applied in this Dictionary to intellectuals who have made philosophical contributions regardless of academic career or professional title. Most figures were not academic philosophers, as few such positions existed then, but they did work on philosophical issues and explored philosophical questions involved in such fields as pedagogy, rhetoric, the arts, history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, medicine, anthropology, religion, metaphysics, and the natural sciences. Each entry begins with biographical and career information, and continues with a discussion of the subject's writings, teaching, and thought. A cross-referencing system refers the reader to other entries. The concluding bibliography lists significant publications by the subject, posthumous editions and collected works, and further reading about the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness and yoga are widely said to improve mental and physical health, and booming industries have emerged to teach them as secular techniques. This movement is typically traced to the 1970s, but it actually began a century earlier. Wakoh Shannon Hickey shows that most of those who first advocated meditation for healing were women: leaders of the "Mind Cure" movement, which emerged during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Instructed by Buddhist and Hindu missionaries, many of these women believed that by transforming consciousness, they could also transform oppressive conditions in which they lived. For women - and many African-American men - "Mind Cure" meant not just happiness, but liberation in concrete political, economic, and legal terms. In response to the perceived threat posed by this movement, white male doctors and clergy with elite academic credentials began to channel key Mind Cure methods into "scientific" psychology and medicine. As mental therapeutics became medicalized and commodified, the religious roots of meditation, like the social-justice agendas of early Mind Curers, fell by the wayside. Although characterized as "universal," mindfulness has very specific historical and cultural roots, and is now largely marketed by and accessible to affluent white people. Hickey examines religious dimensions of the Mindfulness movement and clinical research about its effectiveness. By treating stress-related illness individualistically, she argues, the contemporary movement obscures the roles religious communities can play in fostering civil society and personal wellbeing, and diverts attention from systemic factors fueling stress-related illness, including racism, sexism, and poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western esotericism has now emerged as an academic study in its own right, combining spirituality with an empirical observation of the natural world while also relating the humanity to the universe through a harmonious celestial order. This introduction to the Western esoteric traditions offers a concise overview of their historical development. Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke explores these traditions, from their roots in Hermeticism, Neo-Platonism, and Gnosticism in the early Christian era up to their reverberations in today's scientific paradigms. While the study of Western esotericism is usually confined to the history of ideas, Goodrick-Clarke examines the phenomenon much more broadly. He demonstrates that, far from being a strictly intellectual movement, the spread of esotericism owes a great deal to geopolitics and globalization. In Hellenistic culture, for example, the empire of Alexander the Great, which stretched across Egypt and Western Asia to provinces in India, facilitated a mixing of Eastern and Western cultures. As the Greeks absorbed ideas from Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, and Persia, they gave rise to the first esoteric movements. From the late sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, post-Reformation spirituality found expression in theosophy, Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. Similarly, in the modern era, dissatisfaction with the hegemony of science in Western culture and a lack of faith in traditional Christianity led thinkers like Madame Blavatsky to look East for spiritual inspiration. Goodrick-Clarke further examines Modern esoteric thought in the light of new scientific and medical paradigms along with the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. This book traces the complete history of these movements and is the definitive account of Western esotericism.
