Download or read book The Chariot of Wisdom written by Subramania Bharati and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking the constraints of style and imagery central to classical Tamil literature, Mahakavi C. Subramania Bharati (1882-1921) heralded a new era for the language by making it simpler, thereby encouraging a wider readership. His prodigious contribution to the writings of his homeland - done while in exile during a tumultuous time in the nation's freedom movement - has since propelled his stature to that of a revered literary figure in the subcontinent. In The Chariot of Wisdom, his only novella, a vexed journalist, plagued by material worries and the daily attrition of twentieth-century, British-occupied India, escapes into a daydream to realms mystical and unexplored. He navigates an imaginary chariot through The World of Tranquillity, The World of Pleasure, The World of Truth and The World of Dharma, and finds his values and ideals informing, competing and often contradicting one another. As his self-doubts deepen, he battles the notion that peace and happiness come at a price. A critical examination of a colonized, afflicted civilization marred by corruption and greed, Bharati's pioneering work speaks to a morally wounded country through astute observations and lively humour. Translated with refined intellectual acuity by Gregory James, this modern classic - as timely today as it was a century ago - is a cleverly masked plea to the people of a distracted nation to rally together in pursuit of a just society.

Download or read book Wisdom s Chariot written by Daniel E Loeb and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wisdom's Chariot: the Christian Mystic Tarot explores a central concept in life by examining humanity's dance with death and quest for eternal life, as documented by the Judeo-Christian Mystics of Alchemy and Kabbalah of the past. WARNING: THIS IS ONLY A GUIDEBOOK AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A DECK OF TAROT CARDS. The cards are rich in symbolism, and were created by revitalizing the works for various Judeo-Christian Mystics over the past several centuries whose works are now in the public domain. Throughout history, Christian Mystics, Rosicrucians, and Alchemists have embarked on the most fundamental spiritual quest, which has been referred to by names such as the Quest for the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life, or the Completion of the Great Work. All of these titles refer to the same quest; the efforts of mankind to overcome original sin, purify their souls, and triumph over death. The Wisdom's Chariot tarot documents this journey with recreations of wood engravings by various Judeo-Christian Mystics and Alchemists who devoted their lives to that pursuit. This Tarot Deck contains 78 cards, divided into the four suits in the Minor Arcana and 22 cards in the Major Arcana. This deck is loaded with symbolism. If your style of tarot reading is based more on the interpretation of images and symbolism, then this deck will inspired you to contemplate humanity's timeless struggle with original sin, the purification of the soul, and quest for eternal salvation.

Download or read book The Book Of Weapons written by Jonathan Kristian Wain and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Weapons takes its inspiration from the Epistle to the Ephesians. The war is detected by perception through revelation of the mystery of the faith. This exegesis expands the theme of the Divine Armour incorporating the law and prophets and apocryphal texts. The Revelation of St.John, Book of Jasher and Book of Enoch feature heavily in this text. Origen understood the allegorical nature of the holy scriptures referencing Paul's teaching to the Galatians, in which he compared Mt.Sinai to the bond woman Hagar. These represented Jerusalem below, the mother of those under the law. Jerusalem above is the mother of the Christians, set at liberty. This book cleaves to that true division which opens the mystery.

Download or read book Transmitting Jewish Traditions written by Yaakov Elman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of changing modes of cultural transmission on Jewish and Western cultures over the past two thousand years. The contributors to the volume survey some of the ways -- conscious and subconscious -- in which cultural elements arc selected, shaped, and transmitted, and some of the ways they in turn shape the future of their cultures. Focusing on a range of Jewish cultures from late antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern period, the authors consider both the transformation of traditions in their travels from one contemporaneous cultural context to another and their transformation within a single culture overtime. Some of the studies in the book deal with the transition from mixed oral-written cultures to ones in which written-print is nearly exclusive. Other chapters deal with the processes of transmission such as anthologizing, translating, teaching, and sermonizing. By contextualizing Jewish culture within Western culture and including a comparative perspective, the book makes an important contribution to Judaic studies as well as to other areas of the humanities concerned with questions of textuality and culture.
Download or read book Concealment and Revelation written by Moshe Halbertal and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, great new trends of Jewish thought emerged whose widely varied representatives--Kabbalists, philosophers, and astrologers--each claimed that their particular understanding revealed the actual secret of the Torah. They presented their own readings in a coded fashion that has come to be regarded by many as the very essence of esotericism. Concealment and Revelation takes us on a fascinating journey to the depths of the esoteric imagination. Carefully tracing the rise of esotericism and its function in medieval Jewish thought, Moshe Halbertal's richly detailed historical and cultural analysis gradually builds conceptual-philosophical force to culminate in a masterful phenomenological taxonomy of esotericism and its paradoxes. Among the questions addressed: What are the internal justifications that esoteric traditions provide for their own existence, especially in the Jewish world, in which the spread of knowledge was of great importance? How do esoteric teachings coexist with the revealed tradition, and what is the relationship between the various esoteric teachings that compete with that revealed tradition? Halbertal concludes that, through the medium of the concealed, Jewish thinkers integrated into the heart of the Jewish tradition diverse cultural influences such as Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism, and Hermeticisims. And the creation of an added concealed layer, unregulated and open-ended, became the source of the most daring and radical interpretations of the tradition.
Download or read book Triumphal Chariot of Antimony written by Basil Valentine and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since, Basil Valentine, by Religious Vows am bound according to the Order of St. Benedict, and that requires another manner of Spirit of Holiness, then the common State of Mortals exercised in the prophane business of this World; I thought it my duty before all things, in the beginning of this little Book, to declare what is necessary to be known to the pious Spagyrist, inflamed with an ardent desire of this Art; as, what he ought to do, and whereunto to direct his aim, that he may lay such Foundations of the whole matter, as may be stable; lest his Building shaken with Winds, happen to fail, and the whole Edifice to be involved in shameful Ruine, which otherwise, being founded on more firm and solid Principles, might have continued for a long series of time. Which Admonition I judged was, is, and always will be a necessary part of my Religious Office; especially, since we must all die, and no one of us, which now are, whether high or low, shall long be seen among the number of Men. For it concerns me to commend these Meditations of Mortality and Posterity, leaving them behind me, not only that honour may be given to the Divine Majesty, but also that Men may obey him sincerely in all things. In this Meditation I found that there were five principal Heads, chiefly to be considered by the wise and prudent Spectators of our Wisdom and Art. This first of which is, Invocation of GOD. the second, Contemplation of Nature. The third, True Preparation. The fourth, The Way of Using. The fifth, Utility and Fruit. For he, who regards not these, shall never obtain place among true Chymists, or fill up the number of perfect Spagyrists. Therefore touching these five Heads we shall here following treat, and so far declare them, as that the general Work may be brought to light and perfected by an intent and studious Operation.

Book excerpt: A young psychiatric patient, known as Lili, is having a profound effect on both fellow inmates and medical staff alike. As she begins to unravel the truth of her hospital admittance, she persuades her sceptical psychiatrist, Katherine Kolinsky, to begin a search for Truth in her own self. Thousands of miles away in eastern Canada a young fisherman, Averi, is about to be capsized, both in the sea and in the heart. At first troubled and resistant, Averi surrenders at last to the inner journey, coming to see through the loving guidance of his friend and confidante, Nyx, the Reality of his own existence. As Truth unfolds and falsity is wiped clean, so it becomes clear that Averi and Lili are not separate, that the former lives in the mind of the latter, an alter ego and a signpost to Self-recognition. It shall take the delicate unpicking of a densely woven tapestry to cut through the layers of psychosis and delusion. Only then shall Katherine the psychiatrist be convinced that madness is not all as it seems.
