Download or read book Christian Mystics written by Matthew Fox and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Matthew Fox notes, when an aging Albert Einstein was asked if he had any regrets, he replied, “I wish I had read more of the mystics earlier in my life.” The 365 writings in Christian Mystics represent a wide-ranging sampling of these readings for modern-day seekers of all faiths — or no faith. Fox is uniquely qualified to comment on these profound, sometimes startling, often denounced insights. In 1998, this longtime member of the Dominican Order was silenced by Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict, for his Creation Spirituality, an ecumenical teaching that embraces gender justice, social justice, and eco-justice. The daily readings he shares here speak to the sacredness of the earth, awe and gratitude, darkness and shadow, compassion and creativity, sacred sexuality, and peacemaking.

Book Synopsis Meditations with Meister Eckhart by : Matthew Fox
Download or read book Meditations with Meister Eckhart written by Matthew Fox and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1983-06-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meister Eckhart was a 13th-century mystic, prophet, feminist, declared heretic, and an early advocate of creation-centered spirituality. This tradition affirms humanity’s potential to act divinely, and it embraces life--living and dying, growing old and sinning, groaning and celebrating--as the creative energy of God in motion. For Eckhart, to be spiritual is to be awake and alive; creation itself was for him the primary sacrament that begins from “the spring of life” or the heart. Eckhart’s pathway and that of the creation tradition is a simple way. It demands no gurus, no fanciful methods, no protracted exercises or retreats. This is why he called it a “wayless way” that is available to everyone, and why he points out that the person “who has found this way needs no other.”

Book excerpt: The Step-by-step practical guide to Mysticism & Spiritual Meditations From the beginning of time, Man's curiosity led him to question what was around him. It was the search for the origin of life, the universe, the psyche, consciousness, and God that also led him to question himself and his own existence. In seeking to flee from sorrow and pursue lasting happiness, Man came to realize that there was something else besides his mere five senses. Man thus began his journey in search of the perennial mystical wisdom and realization. This is a book centered on mystical practices. Here the reader will find detailed mystical practices and meditations that will assist him in establishing a suitable mystical routine, from the basic setup to the most advanced practice by which a student can accomplish this ultimate godly realization. The physical embodiment of the divine is also relevant, and that will be addressed. The mystical practices are divided into primary and secondary phases which include, but are not limited to: Attention and Awareness The Mystic Breath Bodily Illumination The Art of Relaxation Breathing Techniques Vital Force Creating and charging Mystical Amulets Sacred Syllables and Mantras Energy Centers and Chakras Awakening the Inner Vision Out-of-Body Exploration Impregnation of meals Mystical Bath Subtle Noticing Divine Absorption We sincerely hope the reader enjoys this work and that it may serve as the fertile ground from which the divine tree of mystic wisdom can grow back towards its perennial source.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian monks of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine were the spiritual heroes of their age—fleeing the security of civilization for the desert, where they sought God in lives of prayer, contemplation, and radical simplicity. This book is a portable collection of their teachings, and those of their contemplative contemporaries, ranging from the fourth through the eleventh centuries. It is arranged to the traditional model of three ascending "books": Praktikos (practice), Theoretikos (theory), and Gnosis (knowledge). Each book consists of 100 "sentences"—aphorisms or thoughts. Each sentence is intended to be read and meditated upon for an entire day—just as the monks themselves might have done as they went about their work.

Book Synopsis Meditations for Mediocre Mystics by : Tom Stella
Download or read book Meditations for Mediocre Mystics written by Tom Stella and published by Wood Lake Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-27 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “mediocre mystics” seems a fitting way to refer to those who yearn for the nameless but do not qualify as full blown mystics. I realize that because there is nothing middling about mystics, “mediocre mystics” may appear to be an oxymoron, but the root meaning of “mediocre” is not second-rate. From the Latin mediocris, the word means moderate or ordinary and has been used figuratively to refer to one who is halfway up a mountain. Unlike ordinary folks, sainted mystics have reached the mountaintop; they are on a first-name basis with the nameless! But just because we haven’t arrived at the heights, just because our lives unfold in the valley of ordinary, everyday life doesn’t mean that we cannot or do not experience the desire that has fueled the mystic’s climb. “All my life my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.” –Andre´ Breton All my life I have experienced the yearning to which French writer and poet André Breton refers. For me that yearning is composed in part of a subtle discontent, a quiet feeling that something is missing despite the fact that nothing is missing. Significant relationships, meaningful work, as well as material and monetary security have never been enough to satisfy the desire for that which I cannot name. I know I’m not alone in my discontent or my longing for the nameless, for mystics of every spiritual and religious tradition have spoken of their desire for and experience of union with a spiritual entity that is as real as it is surreal. I am not claiming that just because I share their yearning I consider myself a mystic, but neither do I believe that the term “mystic” is entirely inappropriate for those of us who might glimpse briefly what certified or canonized mystics have been blinded by.
Book Synopsis Meditations with Teresa of Avila by : Megan Don
Download or read book Meditations with Teresa of Avila written by Megan Don and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2011-03-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meditations with Teresa of Avila invites you to explore the depths of your inner being by following the pathway of the beloved mystic Teresa of Avila. Born into Spanish nobility in 1515, Teresa entered the monastic life at twenty and was eventually guided to reform the Carmelite Order. She blended a rich mystical inner life with everyday work in the secular world, and she remains an unparalleled source of inspiration for living deeply and effectively in both realms. Always concerned with the practical application of her beliefs, Teresa wrestled with questions of worth and place. She sought to understand what her visions and experiences meant and whether she was doing all she could for the divinity she loved and served. Her ideas were rejected by many of her contemporaries, and she struggled against the many male clerics who tried to invalidate her mystical experiences. Her spiritual exploration formed the basis of the prolific body of writing she left to the world. Megan Don makes Teresa's timeless wisdom fully contemporary through translations of Teresa's words followed by practical interpretations and brief, inviting meditations. In this award-winning book, Teresa of Avila and Don guide you to explore the voice of the Beloved and knowledge of the self, the restlessness of the mind and the care of the body, doubt, loss, intimacy, and more.
