Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À mi-chemin entre le rêve et la réalité, entre une dimension fictive et terre à terre, se trouve cet essai à l’aspect romanesque, qui nous plonge au coeur de l’alchimie et plus particulièrement de la controverse de la pierre philosophale, communément appelée « Pierre des Sages ». Une (re)découverte à la fois riche et captivante mêlant histoire, science et magie. Une aventure culturelle atemporelle qui ne se prétend à aucun moment la clef du problème, mais qui constitue incontestablement un indicateur de poids... Explications construites, concision et langage épuré lèvent enfin le voile sur ce mythe à l’allure parfois obscure. Un essai passionnant rédigé par un auteur passionné par son sujet. Le but premier de l’écriture n’est autre que celui de la transmission, du partage. Et le lecteur de se laisser charmer par ces explications qui parviennent à mêler de façon tout à fait inattendue, mais non moins habile, science et magie. Un véritable voyage au coeur de l’alchimie...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’union de la volonté et de l’imagination. La véritable alchimie consiste à travailler avec les deux principes masculin et féminin qui agissent dans toute la création et dans l’être humain lui-même : la volonté (le Soleil) et l’imagination (la Lune). Avec ces deux vertues nous parvenons à transmuter notre propre matière et à devenir rayonnants et purs. Alors nous pouvons espérer obtenir tous les pouvoirs spirituels. « Pourquoi la plupart des humains laissent-ils leurs tendances instinctives se développer librement sans que leurs facultés supérieures aient leur mot à dire pour les maîtriser, les orienter ?... Ou alors, ils s’attaquent à elles pour les anéantir comme si elles étaient des ennemies de leur évolution. Eh bien, dans les deux cas ils commettent une erreur, car ils introduisent une division entre le haut et le bas. Or, l’Intelligence cosmique a prévu que les facultés supérieures puiseraient leurs énergies dans les fonctions inférieures ; celles-ci, en effet, sont comme des racines indispensables afin que cet arbre qu’est l’homme puisse extraire de sa « terre » les substances qu’il transformera pour donner des fleurs et des fruits. Comment se fait dans l’arbre la transformation de la sève brute, absorbée par les racines, en sève élaborée... ? C’est dans les feuilles que s’opère cette transformation, grâce à la lumière du soleil... De la même façon, grâce à la lumière du soleil spirituel nous pouvons transformer en nous la sève brute, nos tendances instinctives, en sève élaborée qui ira nourrir les fleurs et les fruits de notre âme et de notre esprit. C’est ainsi que nous deviendrons de véritables alchimistes. » Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov Table des matières I - Douceur et humilité II - « Celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra » III - Echanges vivants et conscients IV - L'économe infidèle (personnalité et individualité) V - Amassez des trésors VI - Le miracle des deux poissons et des cinq pains VII - Les pieds et le plexus solaire VIII - La parabole de l'ivraie et du froment IX - L'alchimie spirituelle X - La galvanoplastie spirituelle XI - Les pouvoirs de la mère pendant la gestation

Download or read book The Automatic Message written by André Breton and published by Atlas Press (GB). This book was released on 1997 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects together the two most vital "automatic" texts Surrealism. Breton's prefatory essay The Automatic Message relates this technique to the underlying concepts and aesthetic of the Surrealist movement. The Magnetic Fields (1919) was the first work of literary Surrealism and is thus one of the foundations of modern European thought and writing. This authorised translation is by the poet David Gascoyne, himself a member of the group and a friend of both authors. The Immaculate Conception (1930) traces the interior and exterior life of man from Conception and Intra-Uterine Life to Death and The Original Judgement. The central section is a celebrated series of "simulations" of various types of mental instability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modernist and avant-garde artists and authors were fascinated by the occult movements of their day. This volume explores how Occultism came to shape modernist art, literature, and film. Individual chapters examine the presence and role of Occultism in the work of such modernist luminaries as Rainer Maria Rilke, August Strindberg, W.B. Yeats, Joséphin Péladan and the artist Jan Švankmaier, as well as in avant-garde film, post-war Greek Surrealism, and Scandinavian Retrogardism. Combining the theoretical and methodological foundations of the field of Esotericism Studies with those of Literary Studies, Art History, and Cinema Studies, this volume provides in-depth and nuanced perspectives upon the relationship between Occultism and Modernism in the Western arts from the nineteenth century to the present day.

Download or read book An Introduction to Islamic Cosmological Doctrines written by Seyyed Hossein Nasr and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only book to deal with classical Islamic cosmology as it was formulated by the Ikhwan al-S'afa al Biruni and Ibn Sina during the tenth and eleventh centuries. These figures influenced all the later centuries of Islamic history and in fact created the cosmological framework within which all later scientific activity in the Islamic world was carried out--the enduring image of the cosmos within which Muslims have lived during the past millennium. Nasr writes from within the Islamic tradition and demonstrates how, based on the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet, the figures treated in this work integrated elements drawn from various ancient schools of philosophy and the sciences. This book is unique in its treatment of classical Islamic cosmology as seen from within the Islamic world-view and provides a key for understanding of traditional Islamic thought.

Download or read book Theosophy written by René Guénon and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2004 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late nineteenth century, the Theosophical Society has been a central force in the movement now known as the New Age. Just as the Communist Party was considered 'old hat' by peace activists in the '60s, so the Theosophical Society was looked upon by many in the 'spiritual revolution' of those years as cranky, uninteresting, and passé. But the Society, like the Party, was always there, and-despite its relatively few members-always better organized than anybody else. Since then, the Society's influence has certainly not waned. It plays an important role in today's global interfaith movement, and, since the flowering of the New Age in the '70s, has established increasingly intimate ties with the global elites. And its various spinoffs, such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Summit Lighthouse, and Benjamin Crème's continuing attempt to lead a 'World Teacher Maitreya' onto the global stage-just as the Society tried to do in the last century with Krishnamurti-continue to send waves through the sea of 'alternative' spiritualities. Guénon shows how our popular ideas of karma and reincarnation actually owe more to Theosophy than to Hinduism or Buddhism, provides a clear picture of the charlatanry that was sometimes a part of the Society's modus operandi, and gives the early history of the Society's bid for political power, particularly its role as an agent of British imperialism in India. It is fitting that this work should finally appear in English just at this moment, when the influence of pseudo-esoteric spiritualities on global politics is probably greater than ever before in Western history.

Download or read book The Esoteric Secrets of Surrealism written by Patrick Lepetit and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound understanding of the surrealists’ connections with alchemists and secret societies and the hermetic aspirations revealed in their works • Explains how surrealist paintings and poems employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, alchemy, and other hermetic sciences to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost “psychic” and magical powers • Provides many examples of esoteric influence in surrealism, such as how Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon was originally titled The Bath of the Philosophers Not merely an artistic or literary movement as many believe, the surrealists rejected the labels of artist and author bestowed upon them by outsiders, accepting instead the titles of magician, alchemist, or--in the case of Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo--witch. Their paintings, poems, and other works were created to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost “psychic” and magical powers. They used creative expression as the vehicle to attain what André Breton called the “supreme point,” the point at which all opposites cease to be perceived as contradictions. This supreme point is found at the heart of all esoteric doctrines, including the Great Work of alchemy, and enables communication with higher states of being. Drawing on an extensive range of writings by the surrealists and those in their circle of influence, Patrick Lepetit shows how the surrealists employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, and alchemy not simply as reference points but as significant elements of their ongoing investigations into the fundamental nature of consciousness. He provides many specific examples of esoteric influence among the surrealists, such as how Picasso’s famous Demoiselles d’Avignon was originally titled The Bath of the Philosophers, how painter Victor Brauner drew from his father’s spiritualist vocation as well as the Kabbalah and tarot, and how doctor and surrealist author Pierre Mabille was a Freemason focused on finding initiatory paths where “it is possible to feel a new system connecting man with the universe.” Lepetit casts new light on the connection between key figures of the movement and the circle of adepts gathered around Fulcanelli. He also explores the relationship between surrealists and Freemasonry, Martinists, and the Elect Cohen as well as the Grail mythos and the Arthurian brotherhood.

Download or read book A Social History of Knowledge II written by Peter Burke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Burke follows up his magisterial Social History of Knowledge, picking up where the first volume left off around 1750 at the publication of the French Encyclopédie and following the story through to Wikipedia. Like the previous volume, it offers a social history (or a retrospective sociology of knowledge) in the sense that it focuses not on individuals but on groups, institutions, collective practices and general trends. The book is divided into 3 parts. The first argues that activities which appear to be timeless - gathering knowledge, analysing, disseminating and employing it - are in fact time-bound and take different forms in different periods and places. The second part tries to counter the tendency to write a triumphalist history of the 'growth' of knowledge by discussing losses of knowledge and the price of specialization. The third part offers geographical, sociological and chronological overviews, contrasting the experience of centres and peripheries and arguing that each of the main trends of the period - professionalization, secularization, nationalization, democratization, etc, coexisted and interacted with its opposite. As ever, Peter Burke presents a breath-taking range of scholarship in prose of exemplary clarity and accessibility. This highly anticipated second volume will be essential reading across the humanities and social sciences.
