Book Synopsis Initiation and Spiritual Realization by : René Guénon
Download or read book Initiation and Spiritual Realization written by René Guénon and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initiation and Spiritual Realization is the closest thing to a work on 'spiritual direction' René Guénon ever wrote, touching as it does upon such vital topics as the transmission of initiatic grace, the various types and functions of the spiritual master, obstacles the aspirant is likely to encounter, different modes of contemplation, and the degrees of spiritual realization. A companion volume to Perspectives on Initiation, where Guénon had defined the nature of initiation and of the organizations qualified to transmit it, Initiation and Spiritual Realization was the first thematic collection of Guénon's articles to appear after his death. And one doctrine expressed in this book stands out as particularly timely: that esoterism is not and cannot be a religion in itself, since to take it as such is to reduce it to an 'alternative' exoterism, and a heterodox one at that. Initiatic esoterism can only be legitimately and effectively practiced within the context of one of the established, revealed religions.

Download or read book Perspectives on Initiation written by René Guénon and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume, first published at the close of World War II, and based on a series of articles on initiation originally written between 1932 and 1938 for Le Voile d'Isis (later renamed Études Traditionnelles), is unique in giving a comprehensive account both of the conditions of initiation and of the characteristics of organizations qualified to transmit it. Guénon's distinction between the initiatic and the mystical paths-the first requiring a formal relationship with a master, a set of specific contemplative techniques, and a chain-of-transmission stretching back to the origin of the tradition in question, the second generally lacking these elements-led to some controversy between those who accept this distinction and others who believe that initiatory and mystical spirituality are one and the same. The book presents such central principles as the dangers and barrenness of syncretism, the often dire consequences of fostering 'psychic powers', and the superiority of sacerdotal initiation (into the Greater Mysteries) over 'royal' initiation (into the Lesser Mysteries), though both are necessary parts of the initiatic path. This last point precisely defines the rift between Guénon and Julius Evola, whose elevation of royal initiation over sacerdotal must be seen, according to Guénon's criteria, as a modern-day echo of the ancient revolt of the warrior caste against the priestly one. Whoever follows Guénon's argument will realize that a romantic warrior mysticism held no fascination for him, and is in fact explicitly contrary to his principles. But pre-eminently, Perspectives on Initiation provides indispensable points of reference for anyone attempting to distinguish between 'initiatic', 'pseudo-initiatic', and 'countert-initiatic' spiritualities in these profoundly uncertain times.

Book Synopsis Rapid Enlightenment Through Spiritual Initiation by : Yona Jyotiananda
Download or read book Rapid Enlightenment Through Spiritual Initiation written by Yona Jyotiananda and published by . This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are interested in an extremely enjoyable Rapid Spiritual Enlightenment, then this is the right book for you. In Hinduism, they say that we are already God - we just do not realize it yet. We are like a light bulb, which is glowing brightly with Godliness, yet we cannot experience our own light. We are covered in many layers of caked-on mud and muck (karmas), which induce ignorance. We have forgotten who we really are. As we clean the layers of this ignorance off, we begin to see a little crack in the muck here, a slight bit of light radiating there. The more we clean, the closer we become to experiencing the light of our own true nature (God). Yona's energy work has assisted spiritual aspirants, spiritual healers, spiritual counselors, psychics, psychologists, and both Eastern and Western medical doctors, and many nurses when they needed special help with spiritual growth, spiritual initiations, spiritual healing, and spiritual rewiring, both in their personal life and in their work. It helped to uncover their God-Self within. This book has been broken down into Three Sections: Section A addresses several major recurring areas of life on the spiritual path. Most people on this path will encounter some situations for which they have no obvious answers. Section B is a remedy for the hurdles encountered on the path to Self-Realization, through Spiritual Healing and Spiritual Initiation. Section C consists of several chapters of inspiring mystical experiences with living Masters. It is a spiritually uplifting group of Christ-like Beings, several adept Spiritual Teachers and world-renowned Spiritual Masters such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Orgyen Kusum Lingpa (one of the teachers of the Dalai Lama), Satguru Sant Keshavadasji, Ammachi Mata Amritanandamayi, Shri Anandi Ma and Shri Dileepji, Shree Maa and Swami Satyananda Saraswati, and several other blessed Souls. Yona witnessed a very definite pattern emerge after offering spiritual healing, spiritual initiations and spiritual counseling in over ten thousand individual sessions to clients from around the world. The hurdles and obstacles become glaringly obvious on this path after having seen them repeatedly in others, and he has gone through more than his share of experiences from which to draw insight. This book is the culmination of volumes of spiritual experiences with some of the most famous living spiritual masters of our time, beginning in 1987.

Book Synopsis Spiritual Initiation and the Breakthrough of Consciousness by : Joseph Chilton Pearce
Download or read book Spiritual Initiation and the Breakthrough of Consciousness written by Joseph Chilton Pearce and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-07-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explains the phenomenon of shaktipat, the spiritual transmission of power from a teacher to a devotee • Shows how technology has eroded personal power and how insight and awareness can play a higher role in our lives • Reveals how insight is the vehicle for profound self-transformation Shakti is the creative force, the bonding power, that holds the universe together. Shaktipat is the moment when enlightenment is conferred upon a student instantaneously by his master’s touch. The guru conferring shaktipat creates a bond of power in those who have accepted him or her as their teacher. In Spiritual Initiation and the Breakthrough of Consciousness Joseph Chilton Pearce describes his experience of shaktipat from his teacher Swami Muktananda. From this awakening Pearce experiences a dramatic shift of mind and comes to the realization that perception is reality and that insight is our only vehicle for profound self-transformation. Oneness with God is the birthright of every individual, though we are culturally vaccinated to resist experiencing this higher consciousness. Our search for objective truth has lead us not to wholeness, but instead to the belief that we have no bond to each other, to God, or to an inanimate, physical world. Our technology reduces our ability to experience revelation and leads us instead toward the chatter of confused thinking. The challenge faced by modern humanity, which is the challenge Muktananda gave to his students, is to passionately gather up the scattered fragments of our lives and channel them into the creative realm, where with insight or revelation we will be able to become more than ourselves.

Book Synopsis The Symbolism of the Cross by : René Guénon
Download or read book The Symbolism of the Cross written by René Guénon and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2001 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Symbolism of the Cross is a major doctrinal study of the central symbol of Christianity from the standpoint of the universal metaphysical tradition, the 'perennial philosophy' as it is called in the West. As Guernon points out, the cross is one of the most universal of all symbols and is far from belonging to Christianity alone. Indeed, Christians have sometimes tended to lose sight of its symbolism of its symbolical significance and to regard it as no more than the sign of a historical event. By restoring to the full spiritual value as a symbol, but without in any way detracting from its historical importance for Christianity, Guenon has performed a task of inestimable importance which perhaps only he, with his unrivaled knowledge of the symbolic languages of both East and West, was qualified to perform.
Book Synopsis The Path of Initiation by : J. S. Gordon
Download or read book The Path of Initiation written by J. S. Gordon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Details the process of spiritual initiation from aspirant to the highest Adept • Explains the characteristics of each stage of initiation, including the associated psychological issues that need to be faced to move to the next stage • Explores the long history of the Mystery traditions from ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and India to the modern Theosophy of Blavatsky and Bailey • Reveals how the Brotherhood of Spiritual Adepts is increasing global tensions to prepare humanity for the Age of Aquarius and spiritual revelation As the precessional cycle transits from Pisces to Aquarius, great shifts in spiritual evolution are on the horizon--not for all of humanity as many in the New Age movement have generously hypothesized but for those who have undertaken the necessary spiritual preparation and initiatory work. Drawing from his deep immersion in the Mystery traditions of both East and West, author J. S. Gordon investigates the initiatic path from ancient times to modern day, detailing the step-by-step process of initiation and the sequence from spiritual aspirant to the highest Adeptship. He explains the natural logic and characteristics of each stage of initiation, including the associated problems and psychological issues that need to be faced in order to move forward to the next stage. He shows how humanity is naturally inclined to spiritual evolution and the development of higher consciousness. We are part of the overall evolutionary process of Nature, a system guided by the most highly evolved Adepts and extending beyond Earth to the entire kosmos. Exploring the long history of the Mystery schools beginning with ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and India, Gordon examines the sacred metaphors and allegories of esoteric philosophy, metaphysics, occult science, and the Science of the Seven Rays as well as the Adept-inspired theosophical works of H. P. Blavatsky and A. A. Bailey. He looks at the Adept Hierarchy of the Great White Himalayan Brotherhood and considers in detail two much-discussed mysteries: The Jesus-as-Christ mystery and the Maitreya-Buddha mystery. Revealing how advancement--spiritual, scientific, and cultural--erupts out of tension, he explains how the Adepts have been increasing local and global tensions to prepare humanity for the Age of Aquarius, thereby creating the ideal preconditions for spiritual evolution and an eventual restoration of the Mysteries in our own modern era.
Book Synopsis Art Of Super Realization Initiation Hardcover by : Paramahansa Yogananda
Download or read book Art Of Super Realization Initiation Hardcover written by Paramahansa Yogananda and published by . This book was released on 2022-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Yogananda, "Self-realization is the knowing - in body, mind, and soul - that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing." According to an Amazon Reviewer: "This is an excellent little booklet which was originally given to Yogananda's initiates after initiation. It is of great value to those researching the legacy of Swami Yogananda. If you've ever wondered whether the techniques currently taught by SRF are the same as the techniques taught by Yogananda to his early disciples, then this booklet is for you. The major differences between the kriya yoga of this booklet and that of the current SRF initiation is as follows: 1) Mantra is "sung" in each chakra 2) Khechari (not by name) is discussed. 3) The path of the breath ("life force") is elliptical as it is explained in Autobiography of a Yogi. The techniques of this little booklet brought many of Yogananda's early disciples to Samadhi and beyond.
Book Synopsis Realization Into Hermetics Initiation And Masters Part 1, 2 And 3 by : Magnus Sarmarx
Download or read book Realization Into Hermetics Initiation And Masters Part 1, 2 And 3 written by Magnus Sarmarx and published by Lightbringer Publisher via PublishDrive. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Realization Into Hermetics Initiation And Masters Part 1 2 And 3 books is united here for preparation for the new book who is coming. In Initiation Into Hermetics Franz Bardon presented a system of practices graded by degrees to accompany the Adept from the simplest level to the most complex state, yet both the practices and teachings contained in his book function only as tools that only in hand Of someone able to use them correctly come to their ultimate goal. How many people have practiced so dedicatedly and still practice these techniques and fall short of what they hoped to achieve? How many years have you dedicated to this goal? In order to carry out the Great Work an unshakable determination is always necessary, but if you continue to use the same techniques always you will unfortunately always get the same results, how much time do you still believe you have in this life to achieve what you set out to achieve? Using improved techniques in the right way and improving them always more is what will lead to the dreamed goal and we have no time to lose. Among the Alchemists it was said that the philosopher's stone is like a forgotten treasure in a pit and that the more one tried to catch more the gap deepened and more roots appeared between them and their objective. That is exactly what has happened and has plagued many of the dedicated students of Hermetic both today and in the past ages, and the hard truth is made present because the path that can be followed does not lead to the True Path because this is something that presents itself Himself in his own way and with his Absolute Power, unquestioning Authority, being The Strong Force of All Strength, to teach you the means of how to arrive in this state of Supreme Bliss where the Universe converges to bless you is the purpose of this book. The Path to the Great Work is unique in its direction but multiple in its strands. Hermeticism is to follow this path by obtaining the union of all powers and balancing them both in a Passive Receptive and Active Aggressive manner, the union of the Elements and their Absolute Control over the protection of the Law of Manifestation of Polarity is the Realization of the Scepter of the Power and the full consecration of the Master in this art. The human being in his conscious state supports only a tiny fraction of the Cosmic Consciousness thus making it impossible for him alone to touch and unite with the higher powers, only with the application of the Law of Polarity in its deepest strand is obtained So your success, both your Conscious and Perceptible as well as your Unconscious and Imperceptible, must be directed towards achieving such a noble goal. For the vast majority of the uninitiated, what they do not perceive and which can not be touched or conceivable by them is not part of their world, practically for them is something that "does not exist" yet it is precisely this inconceivable and unexpected part that when presented In their lives it assaults to him of surprise and of fatal way. When a Higher Power manifests itself in the world it is only perceptible and comprehensible in its totality to those who are on the same level, the lower levels only perceive fractions, and the lower ones have never been able to comprehend it, and these which are so are Adapted so much to their material physical state that they disconnected completely forgot the Grandiosity from which they came, from the Power of their Microcosm and from their Sacred counterpart The Macrocosm. The Initiate was already able to apply the Law of Polarity and thus obtain and fix his own reintegration with the flow of Divine Providence in this world strengthening him with blessing and power, making his life be watched over by Superior and Absolutely Holy Forces, And now to consecrate his masters he needs to reintegrate with the foundation of this power so deeply that they will become more than inseparable. When he came into this world his Being in the process of incarnation was "turned away" from the Holy Powers, Forces and Plans, his vibrational state equaled to this time and finally to the material, social and emotional environment, then reborn, yet his Spirit in his state Always imperative and present directed him again by the experiences of his life and by the love of his heart to reintegrate and rise again reconnecting to the Sacred Plans, Forces and Powers thus extinguishing their pendencies with this world and allowing their Ascension, the first step in this Sacred Way has already been given in the last Book with the True Initiation and now its Kingdom must be re-erected here in its fullness to obtain the Master, only from this conquest that can go forward and obtain Sacred Realization. The Universal Fire establishing itself in the Magus as it was shown in the practices of the last book, grants it abilities and powers that for many were unknown and sometimes unbelievable, make use of its forces and carry on with all its Power, we will still speak in the First part of this book how to stabilize and deepen still further in this force, there is nothing in the world that can be compared to it, this Force and this Power is the Foundation for your salvation and after the Realization you can obtain with it the Supreme Most Holy Sacred Sword, And in obtaining this Upper and Crushing Force his horizons widened beyond the barriers of the mortal world and at this point he could "Open the Way" to his beloved brethren who, still trapped, the chains of the world follow in the midst of great sufferings with unshakeable strength and will on the way Of the Great Work. When the time comes, just as I am doing to you, my holy brother, lift your Supreme Most Holy Sacred Sword and Walk the Path for them. For the Initiate who has already built the pillars of the Universal Elements, Fire and Air, their resources will be expanded here so that they can safely obtain the pillar of the Universal Water element. This is the next step. Fire is Strength and Power. Air is Wisdom and Water is Universal Love from which Blessing, Healing and Infinite Life is born, uniting Human Heart with Divine Heart, micro and macro, and the infinite power that is born from this state, being in the Now living consciously and unconsciously in the deepest center of All Powerful Superior loving deeply and generating strength and being deeply loved thus generating courage. By locating and accepting the love of the beings of the universe, accepting that there are forces and powers that through Divine Grace and its infinite power, mercy and strength, protect and bless you deeply, recognizing and reconnecting with this Supreme Power and feeling it fully. By maintaining this power and this state of receptivity, feel this active power deeply in your life, present, past and future, conscious and unconscious, Lucky Success and Well-Being, alive, permanent and real.

Download or read book Out of the Blue written by Mary Terhune and published by You Lulu Incorporated. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that for the first time in history, a global spiritual awakening is occurring. Mary speaks of a renaissance of the spirit, freedom from the fear of death and new paradigms of preventive and curative medicine. She shares her own awakening during a time of crisis when the spiritual Master Jesus came calling in the form of Light, speaking one revelation after another on forgiveness, judgment, the Bible, weight problems, disease, aging and the ego. A few years later she met a Self-Realized monk who gave her a spiritual initiation, enabling her to enter the inner realms of God-consciousness where she experienced Self-Realization, creation and her own death. At the time of Self-Realization, she heard God speak a message for all humanity: Here is your Divinity, the Divinity that awaits all Mankind. Mary believes Self-Realization is our natural state and destiny. This book inspires every true seeker to live life as an awakened being and a master of one's own life.
