Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Spirituality, or the Spiritual Man This little book is a plea for a unified life. It endeavors to analyze, to be sure, but only that some conception of the wholeness of the spiritual life may be seen back of its multiplicity of ex periences. The sermons were preached to that caravan of hearers Which passes, on successive Sunday mornings, before the vision of a preacher in a great city. To teach a comprehensive doctrine under such circumstances is not easy. The demand is for some suggestive allusion, some illuminating phrase, some interpreting principle, that can be caught by the hearer as he passes. Elaborately reasoned truth does not ourish under such condi tions. In submitting the sermons to print the author calls attention to thes, e conditjons, 'hoping they will induce the reader} to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than seventy years, The Spiritual Man, Watchman Nee's classic on spiritual growth, has helped believers advance in their pursuit of gaining Christ by showing them the way to let the Lord fully gain them. According to Nee, "The most frustrating experience of believers today is that in seeking for progress in the spiritual path, they do not find the proper way. As a result, they grope in darkness, being at times high or low, lingering around the crossroads year in and year out, and having no one to consult for direction. The author of this book was such a one. For this reason, the book emphasizes clear guidance on the proper path. Every chapter of this book is for the purpose of directing the believers on the right course. Therefore, all those who seek after God with an honest heart can go step by step accordingly. Almost every chapter begins from the position of the sinner and goes on step by step toward the peak of spiritual life." This electronic book is the second of the three volumes of The Spiritual Man.

Book excerpt: Believers today very much lack knowledge as to the existence and operation of the human spirit. Many are unaware that in addition to their mind, emotion and will they also have a spirit. Even when they have heard of the spirit, many Christians either consider their mind, emotion or will as the spirit or else plainly confess they know not where their spirit is. Such ignorance enormously affects cooperation with God, control over self, and war against Satan, the performance of which in all cases requires the operation of the spirit. It is imperative that believers recognize a spirit exists within them, something extra to thought, knowledge and imagination of the mind, something beyond affection, sensation and pleasure of the emotion, something additional to desire, decision and action of the will. This component is far more profound than these faculties. God's people not only must know they possess a spirit; they also must understand how this organ operates -its sensitivity, its work, its power, its laws.

It has been repeatedly asserted that I reject the Incarnation or the Divinity of Christ. This is false.viii evolution OF man and christianity. I accept the Catholic doctrine of the Incarnation as set forth in our Second Article of Religion. As more fully explained in the chapter on Miracles, the birth and char acter of our Lord are two distinct questions, and one may accept His divinity even if he believe that He had an earthly father - Joseph. Further: One may believe Ilis birth to have been truly miraculous - that is, the result of a special operation of the Divine Will - and yet hold that this birth occurred along the lines of natural generation. In other words, the divinity of Christ depends upon the essential relation of the hu man and divine spiritual elements in Him, not upon the mode of His birth. He may have been born in the ordinary way, while His (human) spirit was specially begotten of God the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, working through the media of a man and woman. At any rate, I believe that in Christ dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (col., ii, which inﬂux of Deity into Humanity was due to a special operation of God's Will acting along the line of ordinary generation. It has also been asserted that I reject the resurrection of Christ. I do attach little importance to the details of His bodily resurrection as given in the Gospels, because I consider these documents of too uncertain authorship to allow of attaching much importance to their details but I accept the resurrection or manifestation of Christ after death in a spiritual body, as spoken of by St. Paul in First Corinthians, xv; and this is the doctrine of the Episcopal Church, as set forth in her burial service.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Mysticism and Other Essays So we are forced to ask ourselves, what is the essential element in spiritual experience? Which of the many states and revelations described by the mystics are integral parts of it; and what do these states and degrees come to, when we describe them In the current phraseology and strip off the monastic robes in which they are usually dressed? What elements are due to the suggestions of tradition, to conscious or unconscious symbolism, to the misinterpretation of emotion, to the invasion of cravings from the lower centres, or the disguised fulfilment of an unconscious wish? And when all these channels of illusion have been blocked, what is left? This will be a difficult and Often a painful enquiry. But it is an enquiry which ought to be faced by all who believe in the validity of man's spiritual experience; in order that their faith may be established on a firm basis, and disentangled from those unreal and impermanent elements which are certainly destined to destruction, and with which it is at present too often confused. I am sure that at the present moment we serve best the highest interests of the soul by subjecting the whole mass of material which is called mysti cism to an inexorable criticism. Only by inﬂicting the faithful wounds of a friend can we save the science of the inner life from mutilation at the hands of the psychologists.

Excerpt: ... 50 THE UNLIKELINESS OF THE THE BIRTH AND MISSION OF THE CHRIST. And when the Messiah was born, the same unlikely condition was perpetuated. Let us turn and view the birth of Christ from the orthodox Christian standpoint. Let us dwell a moment on that astounding mystery, the cardinal dogma of orthodox Churches, the union of God with man in the person of Jesus Christ. Majesty and meanness seem everywhere combined in the history of the Son of God. In the eternal counsels of the All-wise it is decreed--so we are taught--that the Son of God should be born into this world to save it from the doom of sin. The King of heaven is to descend to earth and to become a Son of Man. Who then shall be his mother? On whom among the great ones of the earth shall this chiefest honour be conferred? On none: but upon a lowly virgin espoused to a carpenter unknown and unhonoured among the world's nobility. In what city and in which of the royal palaces shall His infant form be cradled? In none: but in the corner of an empty manger of a wayside inn the Lord of Life was born. The angel hosts of heaven receive the Divine commands to herald this mighty miracle--God manifest in the flesh. To whom, then, among the kings of the earth are they commissioned to bear their message? To none: but to simple shepherds as they watch their flocks beneath the midnight sky, following their simple avocations. Kings of the East and wise men, led by the Star of Bethlehem, came to worship and offer costly oblations to the new born King, but they made their BIRTH AND LIFE OF THE CHRIST. 51 offering in a stable. So it was throughout all His life: majesty and meanness are throughout combined. As for instance when His word of power spoke peace to the diseased soul and devils trembled at...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Man's Moral History: From the Creation to the End of Time The writer fully accords to the sentiment contained in the motto - that being a man, nothing which relates to man can be foreign to his bosom. And to know man, one should not only study himself, but he must acquaint himself with the history of his race. That history may be contemplated under several important aspects. But there is no aspect, in which man can be contemplated to so much advantage as in his moral. In his moral history, there are certain passages or connecting links which lie hid from the eye of common observation. Into these the interest of the writer led him to inquire. This led to the conception of tracing, link by link, the entire chain of man's moral history: and the result is contained in the following pages. And should the reader derive an amount of profit or pleasure in the perusal equal to that of the writer in penning the work, he will be fully indemnified for his investment of money and time, and at for less expenditure of both. But that his expectations will be fully met at every point, is more than the writer is authorized to promise. This however, he feels assured of - that the reader will here find a presentation of facts and principles with which he will not be likely to meet in the same compass and in the same relations elsewhere - the writer believes nowhere. The self-relying reader, who claims the privilege, as every man should, to think for himself, will not object to the writer for having with due independence and equal frankness given utterance to some sentiments which may be regarded as novel, if not paradoxical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible Doctrine of Man: Or the Anthropology and Psychology of Scripture The aim is to present in one view the Bible Theology and Philosophy of Man and his Nature. What is claimed for this endeavour, in the specific department of Biblical Psychology, is to have called attention to the distinction which the Bible attributes to spirit, as the highest element in man's constitution, and on the possession of which is grounded its unique doctrine of man's likeness to his Maker. It also claims to be a consistent exposi tion of the relations of soul and spirit in man. Rejecting as unscriptural and unsupported by reason the notion which founds upon the Bible use of these terms a Tripartite Theory of man's nature, cause is yet shown why the neglect of that usage, as a meaningless parallelism, must yield to accurate exegesis and historic fact. These two discussions specially exemplify that which it is the object of the whole treatise to maintain, namely, that a study of the psychological ideas of Scrip ture throws valuable sidelights on its doctrinal teaching.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science and Art of Religion The design exhibited on the cover has been taken from a jewel which is highly prized by freemasons, but I have ventured to place a blazing star in the centre, instead of the human face with the compasses and sphere. Freemasonry appears to me to represent the societies formed by Hebrew and Egyptian priests, and by priests of all ancient nations, to preserve the sacred symbolical language of primitive man before his degra dation; and freemasonry has especially to deal with the collection of sacred symbols made by Solomon and embodied in the Temple. The majority of freemasons probably see nothing in their society beyond a social and benevolent club, and are content to learn a ritual by rote without having any idea of its spiritual meaning, though they are taught that freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbol. The essential teaching of freemasonry is the duty of striving after perfect archetypes, and especially of cultivating the mind to perfection by the worship of the Archetypal Mind. One of the earliest positive masonic commands was that given by God to Abram, Walk before Me, and be thou perfect. The mind is composed of the intellect or reason, the emotion or feeling, and the will or volition, and these are surrounded and supported by the memory. The intellect corresponds to the brain, the emotion to the nerves. The will to the muscles, and the memory to the blood; while the spirit, or ego, or consciousness, is the life. The spirit is represented by the blazing star in the centre of the equilateral triangle, and the science and art of religion treat of the cultivation of the intellect, the emotion, and the will by the spirit: the mind is perfect when the three elements of mind are equally cultivated and in perfect harmony with one another; and the Circle which surrounds the triangle symbolizes perfection as well as memory. My design shows the perfect mind as existing after death, when the compasses and square will be no longer needed to correct deformi ties; but the masonic design represents Adam before the Fall, when, although his mind was perfect. He had to keep constantly on his guard against imperfection. The freemasons Show the spirit, or the man, as pro vided with the compasses, to indicate that man has been given a conscience to recognize the perfect, and that it is his duty to make his own mind perfect no matter how little his ability, since a circle is equally perfect whether large or small.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Living IN these pages I have treated the human problem, both in its individual and social aspects, as essentially a transcendental one. The separate studies have been written under the conviction that the spiritual element in man is not only the one feature that gives distinction to life, but is the only adequate clue to our Sphinx riddle of a world. The problem, as here dealt with, is followed on many tracks. But whether pursued along its physical, its historical, or its economic sides, or into our most intimately personal realm, it is ever in the sphere of the invisible that the answer is sought. Spite of the modern asser tion to the contrary, our problems of living are finally religious, and look to religion for their solution.

And so too in the case of classical scholarship, so long and so strongly attached to the culture and educational tradi tions of modern times, the writer cannot but feel that it has come to be in evil case. Well nigh there has passed from the minds of men the conviction that the Greeks (an abstraction glibly made) were exemplars and exponents of fair and perfect humanity: that, being without the shackles of a religion or creed brought to them from abroad, they had achieved the ideals of our human kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Redemption of Religion IN the year of Our Lord I 139 there was witnessed a meeting and parting Of two men of extraordinary significance. One of them, Abelard, was a man of restless speculative intellect and rich complex nature. Man and all that concerned man was his prime interest. The spirit of life that pulsed in him was impatient of the Old forms with which the past had clothed the religious spirit it thirsted for a new formula which would make man not less but more man, which would take account, without casting a slur, of his bodily activities, which would help him to love God with passion, and use this passion as a. Purifying fire to purge such earthy elements as kept him from realising his whole nature. Himself thus endowed, it was inevitable that he should have to fight his way through a desert of doubt. His whole life was a round of facing successive doubts, fighting them, and short seasons Of uncertain victory and when the fruit of his difficult life was offered for the benefit of others in his lectures and books, it became evident, to those who had eyes to see, that his system of life and religion was not built on a faith calmly resting on an authority that claimed to be divine, but on doubts which had resolved themselves into passionate affirmations and which set aside without ceremony authority's claim.
