Book Description
Sword in hand, crouching, Auragole waited. He was still weak, had not recovered his strength after the boat wreck and the fever that had followed it. Though it was morning and the mountain air still cool, sweat trickled down his nose. He heard the methodical sound of a sword thwack-whacking the bare bushes to his left. If he waited until the soldier found him entangled in the whackle bush, his arm wouldn't be free to strike. If he stepped out into the open, he would have to kill or be killed, and he had never killed a man before. But why was he being pursued? Who considered him an enemy? No time to ponder that now. As the sound, thwack-whack, thwack-whack, came closer, Auragole decided to face his pursuer. He stepped out from behind the bush. The soldier saw him. "He's here!" he barked, signaling the men above. His opponent crouched down, holding the sword with both hands. Auragole could see the fear on his face.... Auragole hesitated, stunned that the enemy had such a human and familiar face. "Strike, Bororr, fool!" came the command from above them. Bororr lifted his sword and brought it down like a hatchet.... Author Shirley Latessa continues the exciting adventures of Auragole in Auragole of the Way, the second novel in the quartet, "Auragole's Journey."

Auragole of Mattelmead
Author: Shirley Latessa
Publisher: SteinerBooks
ISBN: 1584204540
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 581
Book Description
This unique book draws on "the secret wisdom of Israel" (Qabalistic Tree of Life) to describe the soul's inner purification, healing and rebirth in Christ rooted deep in the mysterious process and inner silence of non-conceptual contemplative prayer. "Prayer in secret" (Matt. 6:6) is prayer in the unconscious. Using the Tree of Life as a map of universal creation and the individual soul (Macrocosm and microcosm), Centering Prayer and Rebirth in Christ offers a detailed and revealing look into the hidden workings of the Spirit in the soul's inner depths. When read slowly and thoughtfully, this book elevates the mind, offering what is, for most of us, a new vision of our evolving life in Christ and Christ in us. The essence of Centering Prayer is consenting to God's presence and action in us and in our life. The work of the Spirit in us aims to bring us from the limitations and disappointments of our false self (over-identifi cation with the separate-self sense of ego and its ill-conceived desires) into the fulfillment of our true self as a spiritual being. As the false self's obstacles are removed by the divine action, which needs our willing consent and cooperation, our growing freedom to consent becomes cause for increasing peace and joy in the soul. This is a gift of divine love that brings us step by step into the fullness of our life in Christ--which is a continuing rebirth into the limitless light, life, and love of the divine consciousness. The intended purpose of Centering Prayer's conceptual background is to support the actual practice of non-conceptual contemplative prayer and the wondrous process of inner spiritual unfolding that Centering Prayer facilitates. See also Kess Frey's earlier work for Portal Books, Human Ground, Spiritual Ground:Paradise Lost and Found: A Reflection on Centering Prayer's Conceptual Background (2012).

Auragole and the Last Battle
Author: Shirley Latessa
Publisher: SteinerBooks
ISBN: 1584204559
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
For millennia, hundreds of books have been written on Plato's dialogues and philosophy. In this book, Carol Dunn makes the case that the major modern scholars interpret Plato with an overwhelming focus on understanding the rational content of the dialogues, but omit or neglect the project of their purpose. Once they have mined the individual dialogues for their meaning, they neglect to share what readers can or should do with the knowledge gained from their investigations. The author makes the case that Plato is engaged not only in thinking but also, and more important, in doing--that what we do with the knowledge is crucial, because it can determine the meaning and purpose of our own life. She saw that he was not merely engaging in rational philosophical discussion, but that the dialogues of Plato, especially up to the Republic, embody the Socratic exhortation for each individual to "take care for the soul." The dialogues therefore embody both a rational philosophy and a system of spiritual/religious principles and doctrines whose purpose is to lay out--in a public forum--the path a true disciple needs to take to have a personal and direct experience of spiritual illumination, or enlightenment. This book is not just for scholars of Plato's philosophy, but for anyone who wishes to penetrate an ancient, though largely overlooked, path to initiation.

Meekelorr is a prequel to Shirley Latessa's "Auragole" series of novels for young people. ∞ ∞ ∞ Meekelorr dreamed of his father for the first time since starting his school years. He had put those dreams and his father's request behind a locked door years ago. And now here was Edorr, ephemeral and mournful, once again asking Meekelorr to form an army when he was old enough. Meekelorr was staring up at his father as he had all those years ago. Watching Meekelorr also was the warrior figure that Meekelorr now knew was called the Defender God. "I want you and your soldiers to go out into the Deep Earth and help those who cannot help themselves. I want you to set your army against the evil men in our world, those who prey on the weak." "No." Meekelorr looked beyond his father to the figure, who was watching him with impassive eyes. "If you want an army to fight for you, ask him. That's his task," Meekelorr said, and gestured at the Defender God. "I ask this of you." "No." "You are only angry. But the anger will disappear." "No." Edorr disappeared. The Defender God disappeared. And Meekelorr wept.... ∞ ∞ ∞ Other volumes in the "Aurogole's Journey" series 1. Auragole of the Mountains 2. Auragole of the Way 3. Auragole of Mattelmead 4.

Book Description
Notes written from memory by the participants and meditation verses by Rudolf Steiner (CW 266/2) "Many who enter esoteric training are very disappointed and say that they had imagined the exercises to be much more energetic and the effects of the exercises to be far more drastic. Those who tell this to themselves should quickly consider the possibility that they are caught in a great error, and that they should make the greatest efforts to correct this error as soon as possible. It is not the exercises that lack enough energy, but rather the individual. It is not the exercises that are ineffective, but rather the person who is not making them effective. By living an esoteric life, the student should become an entirely different person. One must add something new to the old." --Rudolf Steiner In this second of three volumes from Rudolf Steiner's early Esoteric School, we find a further deepening of spiritual practice and training. Steiner explains the requirements one must meet to become a serious student of esotericism. In addition, he gives directions--always emphasizing the increasing need for earnestness--for the transformation of the inner life, for the development of new spriritual forces and capacities, and for recognizing and overcoming the dangers that arise on a spiritual path. Moreover, he shows how one should approach specific meditations. These lessons mark Rudolf Steiner's continued movement away from the Eastern path of the Theosophical Society at the time and his increasing focus on the Christian-Rosicrucian path, recognizing Christ as the leader of the path of his form of spiritual training. This volume is the English translation of Aus den Inhalten der esoterischen Stunden, Gedächtnisaufzeichnungen von Teilnehmern. Band.2, 1910-1912 (GA 266/2).
