The Sacred Writings of The Twelve Patriarchs

Publiziert am 18. April 2018 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of The Twelve Patriarchs – Various Authors

The apocryphal work known as the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs professes to be, as its name implies, the utterances of the dying patriarchs, the sons of Jacob. In these they give some account of their lives, embodying particulars not found in the scriptural account, and build thereupon various moral precepts for the guidance of their descendants. The book partakes also of the nature of an Apocalypse: the patriarchs see in the future their children doing wickedly, stained with the sins of every nation; and thus they foretell the troubles impending on their race. Still at last God will put an end to their woe, and comfort is found in … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Jeremiah 48- 52 And The Lamentations

Publiziert am 17. April 2018 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Jeremiah 48- 52 And The Lamentations – John Calvin

The Commentaries On Jeremiah, like those on The Minor Prophets, were delivered as Lectures In The Theological School At Geneva, taken down by some of the Pupils, and afterwards read to Calvin, and corrected. We find in them the production of the same vigorous and expansive mind: The Divine Oracles are faithfully explained, the meaning is clearly stated, and such brief deductions are made as the subjects legitimately warrant. Though the Lectures were extemporaneously delivered, there is yet so much order preserved, and such brevity, clearness, and suitableness of diction are found in them, that in these respects they nearly equal the most finished compositions of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Book Of The Damned

Publiziert am 12. April 2018 von Jazzybee

The Book Of The Damned – Charles Fort

“The Book of the Damned” reminds one of Harnack’s characterization of the Gnostic work “Pistis Sophia” as “dedicated to the propaganda of systematic idiocy.” Mr. Charles Fort, with a zeal worthy of a scientist, has spent a life-time collecting newspaper stories of bodies that have fallen from the sky, such as hailstones as big as elephants, red, black, and green rains, butter, calves, putrid substances, and the like. He admits that observers have sometimes tried to explain these phenomena on known laws, as when Dr. Hitchcock examined a putrid substance alleged to have fallen from the sky at Amherst, and declared it to be a fungus, but Mr. Fort knows that the … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Book Of Proverbs

The Book Of Proverbs – James Hastings

Here is a gold mine for the preacher, the teacher and the father and mother in the home who have it in mind to inculcate sound teaching, based upon the Word of God, so that the boys and girls of the congregations, Sunday-Schools and households may be thoroughly rooted and grounded in the essentials of the Christian faith. There are many volumes in this series of short addresses and they cover the entire range of the Holy Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. The material gathered here is fresh and varied and there is just enough of it to furnish the groundwork of the preacher’s sermon, the Sunday school teacher’s talk and the parent’s … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Gnani Yoga

Publiziert am 31. März 2018 von Jazzybee

Gnani Yoga – Yogi Ramacharaka

“Gnani Yoga” is the “Yoga” of Wisdom. It is followed by those of a scientific, intellectual type, who are desirous of reasoning out, proving, experimenting, and classifying the occult knowledge. It is the path of the scholar. Its follower is strongly attracted toward metaphysics. Examples of the idea of “Gnani Yoga”—apparently widely differing examples—are to be seen in the great philosophers of ancient and modern times, and in the other extreme, those who have a strong tendency toward metaphysical teachings. As a matter of fact, nearly all students of the Yogi Philosophy, are more or less attracted to “Gnani Yoga”, even though they be said to be following one of the other of the three … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Mental Science and New Thought (from Wikipedia):

Some time after his healing, William Walker Atkinson (a.k.a. Theron Q. Dumont) began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as Mental Science. In 1889, an article by him entitled “A Mental Science Catechism,” appeared in Charles Fillmore’s new periodical, Modern Thought.

By the early 1890s Chicago had become a major centre … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Swedenborg, A Hermetic Philosopher

Publiziert am 28. März 2018 von Jazzybee

Swedenborg, A Hermetic Philosopher – Ethan Allen Hitchcock

The writer of this book desires to say that, in preparing the work, it has been no part of his design to express his individual opinions upon the topics discussed. His purpose has been to suggest the opinions of others, especially of a class of men scarcely recognized as existing in the world. The art they profess, called after the name of Hermes, Hermetic Philosophy, is so little known at the present day that the name of it by no means indicates it. The adepts profess to be, or to have been, in possession of a secret, which they call the gift of God. The art has been prosecuted under many names, … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Creed of Buddha

Publiziert am 27. März 2018 von Jazzybee

The Creed of Buddha – Edmond Holmes

The author of ” The Creed of Buddha ” can safely say that no better exposition of Buddhism has ever been given to the world. It is sympathetic, it is scholarly, and it is complete. Between east and west, says the author, a gulf has been fixed, a gulf created by basic ideas, hollowed out by the erosive action of speculative thought. The Western mind takes for granted the reality of outward things. The Eastern mind attributes the only reality to the soul. All else is maya, illusion. And there are very few that can bridge thatgulf.In the East, where the soul is the supreme and fundamental reality, the identification of God with … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
