Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1906 and 1908, G. R. S. Mead published eleven small books under the series title "Echoes from the Gnosis." These books contain translations and interpretations of the Gnostic writings of the ancients. Long before the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library, Mead translated these esoteric texts of various origins (Christian, Roman, Greek). He wanted to make this material accessible to the growing number of people at the time eager to encounter this ancient mystical religion based on an intuitive process of knowing oneself and the hidden aspects of life and existence. Upon the publication of the 100-year anniversary edition of the series, the appeal for this same material remains stronger than ever.

Download or read book The Wisdom of the Serpent written by Joseph Lewis Henderson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tribal initiation of the shaman, the archetype of the serpent, exemplifies the death of the self and a rebirth into transcendent life. This book traces the images of spiritual initiation in religious rituals and myths of resurrection, poems and epics, cycles of nature, and art and dreaming. It dramatizes the metamorphosis from a common experience of death's inevitability into a transcendent freedom beyond individual limitations. "This is a classic work in analytical psychology that offers crucial insights on the meaning of death symbolism (and its inevitably accompanying rebirth and resurrection symbolism) as part of the great theme of initiation, of which [Henderson] is the world's foremost psychological interpreter. This material is really the next step after the hero myth that Joseph Campbell has made so popular, and provides an understanding of how not to use the hero myth in an inflated way as a psychology of mastery, but as an attainment progressively to be died beyond. [Henderson] is helped by the presence of Maud Oakes, who is a trained anthropologist with exquisite taste in her choice of mythic materials and respect for their original contexts."--John Beebe

Download or read book THE CHRIST LIFE written by Geoffrey Hodson and published by Sea of Theosophy. This book was released on with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit.” — Moses Maimonides, Jewish theologian, historian, Talmudist (1135-1205 A.D.) Countless people have been provided with new insights into the Christian religion through the in-depth Biblical interpretations of Geoffrey Hodson. In his Hidden Wisdom in the Holy Bible, Volumes I, II and III, he extensively analyzed Old Testament stories, suggesting that many of them are in actuality more meaningful than is commonly supposed; that many of these stories are indeed allegorical, and that, understood from a more universal and less literal point of view, they contain much additional useful knowledge. He believes this is also true of The Christ Life from Nativity to Ascension. In this book, Hodson moves from a consideration of the Old Testament of the Holy Bible to the New Testament, interpreting the four accounts, or Gospels of the life of Christ, as put down in the King James version of the Bible. The author believes that the Bible should be considered in both its historical and its allegorical significance. He writes: “Ever must it be remembered that the wondrous story (of Jesus the Christ) was never intended to be read as a record of external events alone, but rather as a revelation of the divine within man.” As a priest in the Liberal Catholic Church, Hodson has naturally maintained an intensive interest in the Holy Bible. He is recognized throughout the world for his exceptional clairvoyant abilities, and has also carried out occult research in collaboration with physicians, physicists, anthropologists and archaeologist. He is the author of some 40 books dealing with such topics as meditation, Theosophy, the spiritual life, health and disease and, of course, Bible symbolism and interpretation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Robert Stowe Mead (1863-1933) was a major translator, editor, and commentator on Gnostic and hermetic literature and thus a pivotal figure linking the late 19th-century esoteric revival to 20th-century art, literature, and psychology. As a young convert to the new movement of theosophy, he served as private secretary to its co-founder, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and after founding the European section of the Theosophical Society edited its London journal, Lucifer, for many years. Mead's initial interest in theosophy and Hinduism soon blossomed into a lifelong and wide-ranging engagement with the texts of Gnosticism, neo-Platonism, and hermeticism. His editions and commentaries on previously inaccessible sources became standard works before the First World War and an important source of inspiration to such figures as Jung, Ezra Pound, Yeats, and Robert Duncan. A new entry in the Western Masters Series of concise biographies noting key figures in the Western esoteric tradition, G.R.S. Mead and the Gnostic Quest introduces Mead's life, works, and influences, combining a substantial biography with a collection of his most important writings.
