Download or read book The Alchemical Mandala written by Adam McLean and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mandalas have long been recognized in Eastern spiritual traditions as important tools for focusing meditation. Though various Western traditions possess such contemplative tools, they have not often been recognized as such. McLean remedies this by presenting, and analyzing in great depth, over forty beautiful engravings, reproduced as full-page illustrations, from alchemical, kabbalistic, magical, Rosicrucian, and Hermetic sources. This second edition of the first book exclusively dedicated to the mandala tradition in the West is an extremely valuable sourcework for its illustrations and commentaries. Not only is it a comprehensive guide to reading the cosmological and spiritual symbolism of alchemical engravings, it also outlines three ways for working with these mandalas as spiritual exercises.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award “Injects much-needed vibrancy into the stuffy world of nature writing.” —Outside, “The Outdoor Books That Shaped the Last Decade” The biologist and author of Sounds Wild and Broken combines elegant writing with scientific expertise to reveal the secret world hidden in a single square meter of old-growth forest In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.

Book excerpt: Ricordate quando eravate piccoli? Sono periodi di tempo che non si possono dimenticare, che ci restano accanto a noi per tutta la vita. Qui c'è quel mondo che adesso sembra un sogno, ora che lo vediamo con gli occhi da adulto.Quel mondo che ci compare addosso ci riempie la testa di cose magiche, fantastiche e irreali. Ci sono le fate, i folletti, i re, le magiche fontane, ogni cosa qui è magica, persino le nuvole, le farfalle e i ragni. Ogni cosa è protesa verso quella situazione che deve giungere al suo scopo.Già dalle prime righe la magia comincia e non ci lascia per tutto il tempo che scorriamo queste pagine. Troverete Peter Pan e tutti gli abitanti di questo regno magico, tutti indaffarati dietro quel bambino che si è perso e attorno al quale ruota tutta la storia.

Download or read book Alchemic camera written by Michele Frazzi and published by Silvana. This book was released on 2004 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tra il 1518 e il 1519 Antonio Allegri detto il Correggio affrescò a Parma, all'interno del monastero benedettino femminile di San Paolo, una stanza dell'appartamento della badessa Giovanna da Piacenza. L'affresco si rivelò immediatamente di concezione innovativa, di tematica unitaria e di straordinaria felicità figurativa, grazie al mescolarsi di elementi naturalistici, mitologici e concettuali. La camera, destinata alla clausura e ignorata per oltre due secoli, fu riscoperta e valorizzata soltanto alla fine del Settecento. Con questo settimo quaderno della collana curata da Giuseppe Adani, la Fondazione "Il Correggio" porta nuovamente all'attenzione del pubblico la celebre camera, accogliendo l'innovativa interpretazione che ne dà Michele Frazzi. Oggetto dello studio è in particolare la cultura alchemica diffusa nel clima neoplatonico parmense del Cinquecento, che il pittore ha saputo trasferire nella sua opera, creando una complessa raffigurazione i cui molteplici significati sono, finalmente, svelati.
Download or read book Stories of Baha u llah written by ʻAlí-Akbar Furútan and published by George Ronald Publisher Limited. This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), the Inaugurator of the most recent of the independent world religions, the Baha'i Faith, has been described by the Guardian of that Faith as 'One Whom posterity will acclaim, and Whom innumerable followers already recognize, . . . as the Establisher of the Most Great Peace . . . and the Inspirer and Founder of a world civilization'. Few there are in the West who have known even one person who saw Him or experienced the majesty and power, the compassion, humility and humour which characterized His earthly life. Baha'is of the East are more fortunate, many having known those, often their relatives, who were in His presence as companions or pilgrims. Yet, as the editor of this book remarks, 'only a few recorded their observations for posterity'. It was in 1975 that 'the thought of collecting personal accounts' occurred to the Hand of the Cause 'Ali-Akbar Furutan. Through correspondence and the examination of numerous memoirs, published and in manuscript, he selected the stories in this enthralling collection. 'The day is approaching when God will have raised up a people who will call to remembrance Our days, ' wrote Baha'u'llah. The 144 stories in these pages make such remembrance both effortless and delightful. They come to mind whether one is far away or visiting the scenes in which they occurred. They describe Baha'u'llah in Iran, Baghdad, Constantinople, Adrianople, 'Akka and Bahji, and linger in memory to uplift and gladden both heart and mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of dedicating a Festschrift to honor Professor Frédéric Manns on the happy occasion of his 70th birthday came to mind in the autumn of 2011 and work on this project had been continuing ever since. Felicitously achieving this goal, the Faculty of Biblical Sciences and Archaeology (Studium Biblicum Franciscanum) and the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land present this volume to Father Manns with gratitude for his profound scholarship and a lifetime service in the Holy Land. Perusing through Father Manns’ writings, it is easy to see a prominent and distinctive place devoted to the Gospel of John. It seemed therefore suitable to focus on this subject in the Festschrift honoring him: the title, Rediscovering John, relates to Manns’ significant contribution towards the better understanding of the Fourth Gospel. The volume comprises 21 studies authored by renowned scholars from various parts of the world, from different institutions and denominations. While the first half of the studies examines general issues (history of interpretation, textual transmission, intertextuality, theological themes, archaeology), the second half treats literary, narrative and exegetical approaches to particular texts of the Fourth Gospel. We augur that this rich collection will help to stimulate further discussion and reflection on the Gospel of John, as well as constitute an incentive to an already distinguished scholar to continue writing challenging and thought-provoking essays and books.
