Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eye-opening introduction to the complex world of esoteric Christianity—perfect for the general reader This guide to mystical and esoteric Christianity speaks from a nonsectarian point of view, unearthing insights from the whole of the Christian tradition, orthodox and heretical, famous and obscure. The esoteric tradition has traditionally searched for meanings that would yield a deeper inner knowledge of the divine. While traditional Christianity draws a timeline from Adam's Fall to the Day of Judgment, the esoteric often sees time as folding in on itself, bringing every point to the here and now. While the Church fought bitterly over dogma, the esoteric borrowed freely from other traditions—Kabbalah, astrology, and alchemy—in their search for metaphors of inner truth. Rather than basing his book around exponents of esoteric doctrine, scholar Richard Smoley concentrates on the questions that are of interest to every searching Christian. How can one attain direct spiritual experience? What does "the Fall" really tell us about coming to terms with the world we live in? Can we find salvation in everyday life? How can we ascend, spiritually, through the various levels of existence? What was Christ's true message to humankind? From the Gospel of Thomas to A Course in Miracles, from the Jesus Prayer to alchemy and Tarot, from Origen to Dante to Jung, Richard Smoley sheds the light of an alternative Christianity on these issues and more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Esoteric Christianity or the Lesser Mysteries The object of this book is to suggest cer tain lines of thought as to the deep truths underlying Christianity, truths generally overlooked, and only too often denied. The generous wish to Share with all what is precious, to spread broadcast priceless truths, to shut out none from the. Illumina tion of true knowledge, has resulted in a zeal without discretion that has vulgarised Christianity, and has presented its teachings in a form that often repels the heart and alienates the intellect. The command to preach the Gospel to every creature though admittedly of doubtful authenticity - has been interpreted as forbidding the teaching of the Gnosis to a few, and has apparently erased the less popular saying.

Book excerpt: In proceeding to the contemplation of the mysteries of knowledge, we shall adhere to the celebrated and venerable rule of tradition, commencing from the origin of the universe, setting forth those points of physical contemplation which are necessary to be premised, and removing whatever can be an obstacle on the way; so that the ear may be prepared for the reception of the tradition of the Gnosis, the ground being cleared of weeds and fitted for the planting of the vineyard; for there is a conflict before the conflict, and mysteries before the mysteries.

The most highly evolved are far above the least evolved, both in intelligence and character; the capacity alike to understand and to act varies at every stage. It is, therefore, useless to give to all the same religious teaching; that which would help the intellectual man would be entirely unintelligible to the stupid, while that which would throw the saint into ecstasy would leave the criminal untouched.

Download or read book Esoteric Christianity written by Annie Bessant and published by Nook Press. This book was released on 2017-01-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many, perhaps most, who see the title of this book will at once traverse it, and will deny that there is anything valuable which can be rightly described as "Esoteric Christianity." There is a wide-spread, and withal a popular, idea that there is no such thing as an occult teaching in connection with Christianity, and that "The Mysteries," whether Lesser or Greater, were a purely Pagan institution. The very name of "The Mysteries of Jesus," so familiar in the ears of the Christians of the first centuries, would come with a shock of surprise on those of their modern successors, and, if spoken as denoting a special and definite institution in the Early Church, would cause a smile of incredulity. It has actually been made a matter of boast that Christianity has no secrets, that whatever it has to say it says to all, and whatever it has to teach it teaches to all. Its truths are supposed to be so simple, that "a way-faring man, though a fool, may not err therein," and the "simple Gospel" has become a stock phrase.
Download or read book Esoteric Christianity and Mental Therapeutics written by Felt Warren Evans and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American writer WARREN FELT EVANS (1817-1889)-a patient of and later friend to Phineas Quimby, a pioneer in the early "New Age" philosophy of New Thought-here shares the secrets of Quimby's "phrenopathic method of cure." Esoteric Christianity and Mental Therapeutics reveals the practical knowledge needed to apply Quimby's principles of mental healing so that we may bring ourselves up from the degraded mental states that allow disease to develop. But the principles are not only practical; they are also spiritual, drawing their truth from the same source as ancient Christianity. By seeing within ourselves the spirit of unending perfection that is Jesus, Evans claims, the sick are able to see the lie that their illness truly is and are then motivated to eradicate it. Students of philosophy, theology, and history, as well as those interested in Christian cults and alternative medicine will find this book a prime source of New Thought theology and practices.
