Book Synopsis Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Volume One) by : Baird T. Spalding
Download or read book Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Volume One) written by Baird T. Spalding and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Volume One) (1924) is the first in a six-volume work of New Thought and mysticism by writer and lecturer Baird T. Spalding. Purporting to share the life and lessons of "Great Masters of the Himalayas," the work uses a fictional trip to India as a means to share the great laws of the spiritual world. The life of Baird T. Spalding (b. 1872 - d. 1953) is one of many questions. Even the most basic of facts are debated. Spalding claimed to have been born in England in 1857. But records indicate that he was in fact born Bayard Spaulding in 1872, in Cohocton, New York. Spalding also said he had family in India, and that he had studied at Berkeley, Stanford, and Columbia. Yet there are no records to support any of these assertions. So what is the truth? Certainly, he made a living as a mining engineer in Alaska, Montana, and California's Yukon Territory during the 1890s. And in 1924, he published the first of a six-part series, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East. According to the book's introduction, this work is an account of an 1894 expedition to India, Tibet, and China to meet with the "Great Masters of the Himalayas." Over the course of three and a half years, Spalding and ten other researchers traveled the land, living and conversing with these great masters to learn the "great Law." The first volume (included here) is a record of their first year's experience. Is this a true account of a trip to the Far East? The other members of the team are not identified, nor are the "Great Masters" by their true names. There are no maps or photographs from the trip, despite the note in the forward that "Records and manuscripts...were preserved." The general consensus is that Spalding did not go to India in 1894, and there was no such research expedition. The fictional account of a spiritual journey was a popular genre at the time, so it's highly probable that Spalding's work was an invention. In truth, it appears that Spalding's first trip to India was not until 1935, after the release of Volume 3 of Life and Teaching of the Masters. In spite of this fiction-or perhaps because of the tall tales told by its author-Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East was a massive success. With four volumes released during his life, and the last two published posthumously, this series was influenced by and later contributed to New Thought circles in the 1920s and 1930s. In this volume, Spalding describes events that would be considered miraculous-communion with plants and animals, astral projection, the manifestation of 40 loaves of bread to feed the party, and walking on water, among others. Much of this is explained by Emil, a Great Master whom the expedition encounters repeatedly throughout their journey. According to Spalding, "The Masters accept that Buddha represents the way to Enlightenment, but they clearly set forth that Christ is Enlightenment, or a state of consciousness for which we are all seeking-the Christ Consciousness." This Christ Consciousness is displayed by the Masters. It is the state of enlightenment, of love, and of ultimate understanding that was embodied in "Jesus, the Christ made manifest, or God manifesting through the flesh man." For those who wish to follow, they must "...let love flow forth to balance all, and when this is done, the Christ is revealed." The fictional approach to this work does not mean that the spiritual content is not valuable. Presented as a series of personal stories and anecdotes, the book presents New Thought ideas in an approachable way that proved incredibly popular with spiritual thinkers. Life and Teaching sold over two million copies in the first half of the 20th century and is still read widely today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alfredo Alcala is one of the most disciplined and perceptive artists inking in comics. The years of distinguished work have earned Alfredo a special place in comics history." — Gil Kane. In the late 1960s, an extremely talented group of Filipino illustrators took the American comic book industry by storm — and the late Alfredo Alcala led the way, working for both Marvel and DC on such popular characters as Conan the Barbarian and Batman. This unique work is loaded with amazing art and pointers on observational methods, composition, and other techniques. In addition to insightful interviews with Alcala, the book features pages from his groundbreaking masterwork, Voltar, which was hailed as a new concept in comic book form, an epic in narrative art, and a milestone in sequential art illustration. Students, professionals, teachers, and fans will treasure this inspiring volume and its insider's look at comic book artistry. "A wonderful look at the thought process of one of the best artist/inkers in comic book history and should be read, not just by comic book fans, but by anyone who appreciates great art." — Rushford Public Library
Book Synopsis The Teachings of Master Wuzhu by : Wendi L. Adamek
Download or read book The Teachings of Master Wuzhu written by Wendi L. Adamek and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Record of the Dharma-Jewel Through the Generations (Lidai fabao ji) is a little-known Chan/Zen Buddhist text of the eighth century, rediscovered in 1900 at the Silk Road oasis of Dunhuang. The only remaining artifact of the Bao Tang Chan school of Sichuan, the text provides a fascinating sectarian history of Chinese Buddhism intended to showcase the iconoclastic teachings of Bao Tang founder Chan Master Wuzhu (714–774). Wendi Adamek not only brings Master Wuzhu's experimental community to life but also situates his paradigm-shifting teachings within the history of Buddhist thought. Having published the first translation of the Lidai fabao ji in a Western language, she revises and presents it here for wide readership. Written by disciples of Master Wuzhu, the Lidai fabao ji is one of the earliest attempts to implement a "religion of no-religion," doing away with ritual and devotionalism in favor of "formless practice." Master Wuzhu also challenged the distinctions between lay and ordained worshippers and male and female practitioners. The Lidai fabao ji captures his radical teachings through his reinterpretation of the Chinese practices of merit, repentance, precepts, and Dharma transmission. These aspects of traditional Buddhism continue to be topics of debate in contemporary practice groups, making the Lidai fabao ji a vital document of the struggles, compromises, and insights of an earlier era. Adamek's volume opens with a vivid introduction animating Master Wuzhu's cultural environment and comparing his teachings to other Buddhist and historical sources.

This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Followers of the New Thought movement of the early 20th century sought to find God through explorations of the metaphysical. Here, one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy takes a fresh look at the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through a New Thought lens. In this series of "lessons" originally published as a series of monthly missives in 1907 and 1908, we discover the previously hidden esoteric meanings behind much of the story of Jesus, from the foretelling of his birth to the strange mysteries of his healing of the sick to the occult ceremony of the Last Supper. This is an eye-opening reinterpretation of a familiar story. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont." ALSO FROM COSIMO: Atkinson's Memory: How to Develop, Train and Use It; Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism; The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism: The Secret of Mental Fascination; The Science of Psychic Healing; Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World; and others

Book Synopsis Secret Teachings of the Hidden Masters by : S. E. Kenneth Cosentino
Download or read book Secret Teachings of the Hidden Masters written by S. E. Kenneth Cosentino and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secret Teachings of the Hidden Masters is a collection of mystical knowledge and spiritual wisdom found at the core of mankind. The Teachings themselves are timeless and transgress virtually every culture on Earth. Contained within these pages is an ancient codex of Sacred Knowledge passed down through oral tradition over the ages. Author S.E. Kenneth Cosentino crafted this work of literature painstakingly over the course of ten years. During this time he studied among seers, prophets, sages, shaman, mystics, monks and medicine people. In February of 2012, he was read his Last Rites while laying on his death bed. While he was shaping this book, the Teachings were shaping him. From the introduction by S. Quanaah:"Secret Teachings of the Hidden Masters reveals some of the common threads of humanity by highlighting the stream of consciousness that has made enlightenment possible throughout the planet earth. To the studious, this is a jewel. To the curious, this is a door to another reality. To the religious, this is the language your leaders have historically forbid you to learn. To the occultist, this is the practical magic veiled in ritual. To the skeptic, this is a fun house mirror."
Download or read book The Journey written by Baird T. Spalding and published by DeVorss & Company. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baird Spalding played a ground-breaking role when he introduced the Western world to the wonders of a Far East expedition in 1894. The knowledge of "Masters" assisting and guiding humanity in the classic book LIFE AND TEACHING OF THE MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST became legend in metaphysical circles during the first half of the 20th century and continues today as a source of spiritual enlightenment. Spalding and the others were practical in nature and the thought of spiritual masters performing miracles seemed impossible. Despite these suspect thoughts, something compelled them to move onward. So they did. Originally published as 3 separate volumes, DeVorss Publications is proud to release these historic books in one edition titled: THE JOURNEY: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East Volumes 1-3 (A Single Edition) with a NEW INTRODUCTION by MITCH HOROWITZ, author of OCCULT AMERICA. It is within these 3 volumes that Spalding details an expedition that lasted 3 years and covered the mountainous landscape of Nepal and India near the close of the 19th century.

These teachings have many forms and many different names, yet the central theme remains the same: that a spiritual reality exists and only through an understanding of humanity's holistic nature will we discover the answers to the great questions of existence: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where do we go from here? Why do we have to suffer pain? In this compilation you will find extracts from the works of a selection of authors. They all have one thing in common; they were inspired by members of the spiritual hierarchy of the planet, Masters of the Wisdom, the custodians, past, present and future, of humanity's spiritual inheritance.

This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic text on the mystical traditions of the ninja now decoded in English • The path of the ninja as an authentic spiritual discipline • Details the art of concealment and espionage, including methods of disguise, survival techniques, and face reading • A ninja response to the Samurai Bushido and the way to mind-body harmony Experts in disguise, infiltration, espionage, and counterintelligence, the ninja had spiritual values and magical traditions that distinguished them from the soldierlike samurai. Their art of ninjutsu, invisible as well as indispensable, was transmitted in secret schools and relied on only a few books, which were written in code. The Shoninki, one of the most important of these coded manuals, was written in 1681 by Master Ninja Natori Masazumi. Presenting all facets of the art of concealment, espionage, and physical prowess, including methods of disguise and survival techniques, this source text also contains teachings on spiritual meditations, psychic powers, the art of face reading, controlling the emotions, and magic spells. Revealing the connection between the ninja and the yamabushi--warrior monks who were endowed with supernatural powers--this classic text confirms the path of the ninja as an authentic spiritual discipline, one of self-realization and detachment and the way to mind-body harmony.
