Download or read book TechGnosis written by Erik Davis and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TechGnosis is a cult classic of media studies that straddles the line between academic discourse and popular culture; it appeals to both those secular and spiritual, to fans of cyberpunk and hacker literature and culture as much as new-thought adherents and spiritual seekers How does our fascination with technology intersect with the religious imagination? In TechGnosis—a cult classic now updated and reissued with a new afterword—Erik Davis argues that while the realms of the digital and the spiritual may seem worlds apart, esoteric and religious impulses have in fact always permeated (and sometimes inspired) technological communication. Davis uncovers startling connections between such seemingly disparate topics as electricity and alchemy; online roleplaying games and religious and occult practices; virtual reality and gnostic mythology; programming languages and Kabbalah. The final chapters address the apocalyptic dreams that haunt technology, providing vital historical context as well as new ways to think about a future defined by the mutant intermingling of mind and machine, nightmare and fantasy.

Book Synopsis Magic & Mysticism In Tibet by : J. H. Brennan
Download or read book Magic & Mysticism In Tibet written by J. H. Brennan and published by New Age Books. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of isolated Tibetan monks have devoted their lives to an unparalleled investigation of the human mind and soul. Over many centuries, as Buddhism blended with Bon, the aboriginal shamanic religion of Tibet, a great esoteric tradition evolved. In this revised and ex-panded version of Occult Tibet, the pro-lific and eclectic J.H. Brennan surveys this vast spiritual heritage born in the shadows of the Himalayas. The evolutionary result is apparent in the Tibetan languages, which is choc-a-bloc with different terms for (to the average Westerner) incomprehensibly subtle levels of meditation and trance. Generations of monks, sequestered in monasteries that sometimes reached the size of small towns, devoted their lives to an investigation of the human mind that is literally unparalleled anywhere on earth. Where Western psychology chose the path of theory and investigation, these men became psychonauts, mounting a personal exploration of inner space that carried them to realms of strangeness ranging from the development of near miraculous powers to the contemplation of ultimate reality. This book explores their findings. It presents a unique and fascinating view of Tibetan culture and spirituality, Tibetan magic and Mysticism bringing the ancient magical techniques of Tibet to the magicians and mystics of the West.Delhi,

Book Synopsis The Mystic Test Book or the Magic of the Cards by : Olney H. Richmond
Download or read book The Mystic Test Book or the Magic of the Cards written by Olney H. Richmond and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of this work was, we might say, forced upon us by the demand, before even a page of manuscript was prepared for the press. The demand was caused by members of the Temple, who recognized the necessity of a printed text book, from which they could study the meanings of the cards and their indications under the seven planets. These brothers and sisters naturally wished to perfect themselves in emblem reading as rapidly as possible, and they could not so perfect themselves, without a full and complete set of tables that they could study and refer to at will. The next trouble that arose was the question of expense, as, aside from the printing, engraving, binding, electrotyping and matters of that kind, the author's time was, and is now so valuable that the item far overbalances those mentioned. It was finally decided that the most feasible plan, was to get out enough copies to supply more than our immediate membership and to sell them to outsiders under certain restrictions.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism by : Glenn Alexander Magee
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism written by Glenn Alexander Magee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysticism and esotericism are two intimately related strands of the Western tradition. Despite their close connections, however, scholars tend to treat them separately. Whereas the study of Western mysticism enjoys a long and established history, Western esotericism is a young field. The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism examines both of these traditions together. The volume demonstrates that the roots of esotericism almost always lead back to mystical traditions, while the work of mystics was bound up with esoteric or occult preoccupations. It also shows why mysticism and esotericism must be examined together if either is to be understood fully. Including contributions by leading scholars, this volume features essays on such topics as alchemy, astrology, magic, Neoplatonism, Kabbalism, Renaissance Hermetism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, numerology, Christian theosophy, spiritualism, and much more. This Handbook serves as both a capstone of contemporary scholarship and a cornerstone of future research.
Book Synopsis Missions, Mysticism and Magic by : Claris Van Kuiken
Download or read book Missions, Mysticism and Magic written by Claris Van Kuiken and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While certain political leaders are feverishly working to "fundamentally transform" America, leaders of the non-denominational missionary organization, Adventures in Missions (AIM), are training thousands of young adults to be radical revolutionaries fighting for social justice in an effort to change the world. Not only are they turning young peoples' minds against the "evils" of capitalism, leaders of AIM are mocking the "Western concept" of God and indoctrinating them into Eastern mysticism and the dark world of the occult. This is being done for the expressed purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission and ushering in God's kingdom on earth. Missions, Mysticism & Magic is a concise, eye-opening analysis revealing: *Why young adults are being told they are "becoming God with skin on" and must acquire all the powers Jesus had. *Why the practice of "listening prayer" and exalting the imagination creates deception. *A deeper meaning of Magic, alchemy and transformation. *How combining concepts from the New Age/Emergent movement, and various Pentecostal/Charismatic streams has created a most deceptive spiritual force for change. *Who the "42nd generation" is and why they are "between Jesus and Christ." *The connection of occult numerology to the World Race, a mission trip consisting of traveling to 11 countries in 11 months, and more. Sadly, like AIM, countless other missionary organizations and churches are embracing similar esoteric beliefs and practices. Occultism wraps itself up in Christian terminology, appeals to pride, and offers a false sense of hope, love, and unity. For this reason, Missions, Mysticism & Magic is an invaluable resource. It is also a fervent call for all Christians to test everything, as the Bereans did, against the firm foundation of Scripture (Acts 17:11).
