Download or read book You Looked at Me written by Claudine Moine and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In You Looked At Me, Claudine Moine writes a profound autobiographical account of her own spiritual development. Impacted by her experiences as a refugee from the Thirty Years' War, Moine relates a detailed narrative of God's involvement in her life, comprising times of favour, temptation, transverberation and mystical marriage, and the state of darkness that caused her to cease writing. Illuminated by the translation and collation of Rev. Gerard Carroll, You Looked At Me is a work of extraordinary spiritual and theological richness, offering insights for spiritual seekers and historical researchers alike. It stands in the company of Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love and The Cloud of Unknowing as a crucial text of historical spirituality.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Baroque written by John D. Lyons and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 907 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few periods in history are so fundamentally contradictory as the Baroque, the culture flourishing from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries in Europe. When we hear the term âBaroque,â the first images that come to mind are symmetrically designed gardens in French chateaux, scenic fountains in Italian squares, and the vibrant rhythms of a harpsichord. Behind this commitment to rule, harmony, and rigid structure, however, the Baroque also embodies a deep fascination with wonder, excess, irrationality, and rebellion against order. The Oxford Handbook of the Baroque delves into this contradiction to provide a sweeping survey of the Baroque not only as a style but also as a historical, cultural, and intellectual concept. With its thirty-eight chapters edited by leading expert John D. Lyons, the Handbook explores different manifestations of Baroque culture, from theatricality in architecture and urbanism to opera and dance, from the role of water to innovations in fashion, from mechanistic philosophy and literature to the tension between religion and science. These discussions present the Baroque as a broad cultural phenomenon that arose in response to the enormous changes emerging from the sixteenth century: the division between Catholics and Protestants, the formation of nation-states and the growth of absolutist monarchies, the colonization of lands outside Europe and the mutual impact of European and non-European cultures. Technological developments such as the telescope and the microscope and even greater access to high-quality mirrors altered mankindâs view of the universe and of human identity itself. By exploring the Baroque in relation to these larger social upheavals, this Handbook reveals a fresh and surprisingly modern image of the Baroque as a powerful response to an epoch of crisis.

Seule la méditation apporte la vérité! __________________________________________________________________ À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Au cours de sa carrière Julien Bouchard a parcouru pendant près de 45 ans des dizaines de pays tant en Asie méridionale, Moyen-Orient, Afrique, Amérique du Sud, Amérique central, etc. Tous ces voyages, en plus d'être effectués à des fins professionnelles. Étaient également sujets de recherche philosophique et spirituelle, en Inde, dans le nord du Népal particulièrement. À ses débuts il fréquentait les ashrams de l'Inde et les lamaseries du nord du Népal où il reçut certaines initiations philosophiques bouddhistes. Il recherchait intensément une méthode simple, la méthode de méditation la plus pure et la moins altérées par le temps et les gens. Pour cela il a dû effectuer des recherches qui l'ont amené à remonter dans le temps et finalement, lors d'un voyage dans le nord du Népal, il rencontra un moine ermite, maître de l'école Kagyûtpa (une adepte de la succession apostolique). L'enseignement de ce guide reposait sur le MahaMudra (le Grand Symbole). Une des plus anciennes et des plus pures forme de méditation connues à ce jour. C'est après toutes ces années d'étude, de recherche, de réflexion et de méditation que Julien a écrit ce livre suite à son désir de partager avec les sincères chercheuses et chercheurs de vérité les résultats de ses efforts pour atteindre un niveau plus élevé de compréhension de la vie, de l'humanité et finalement de lui-même.

Download or read book Naturalism and Unbelief in France 1650 1729 written by Alan Charles Kors and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atheism was the most fundamental challenge to early-modern French certainties. Leading educators, theologians and philosophers labelled such atheism as manifestly absurd, confident that neither the fact nor behaviour of nature was explicable without reference to God. The alternative was a categorical naturalism. This book demonstrates that the Christian learned world had always contained the naturalistic 'atheist' as an interlocutor and a polemical foil, and its early-modern engagement and use of the hypothetical atheist were major parts of its intellectual life. In the considerations and polemics of an increasingly fractious orthodox culture, the early-modern French learned world gave real voice and eventually life to that atheistic presence. Without understanding the actual context and convergence of the inheritance, scholarship, fierce disputes, and polemical modes of orthodox culture, the early-modern generation and dissemination of absolute naturalism are inexplicable. This book brings to life that Christian learned culture, its dilemmas, and its unintended consequences.
