Sun God and Moon Maiden
Author: Gordon Strong
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781908097019
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The Holy Grail is many things to many people. The medieval troubadour saw it as a vision of heaven. In the twenty-first century, the quantum physicist finds heaven in parallel universes. The shaman, who links prehistory with the modern world, travels in other dimensions knowing he will experience the parameters of existence. In "Sun God and Moon Maiden," Gordon Strong suggests that the presence of the Grail questions not only space and time but perception itself. The philosophy of Plato, the psychology of Jung and the nobility of kings are within the Grail's domain. It resides in the endless galaxy of the mind. This interior landscape is where we discover yet more gateways into Inner Space, realms where we may come to know the universe, and ourselves. From Atlantis to Arthur's Camelot, the path to Avalon still awaits. As Gordon Strong demonstrates in this fascinating book - encompassing mythology, magic and modern physics - the ancient wisdom of the Qabalah, the Tarot and Sacred Stone Circles are poised to lead us to the Chalice of Inspiration.

Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The early Christian Gnosis did not spring up in isolation, but drew upon earlier sources. In this book, many of these sources are revealed for the first time. Special emphasis is placed on the Hellenistic doctrine of the "Solar Logos" and the early Christian symbolism which depicted Christ as the Spiritual Sun, the illumination source of order, harmony, and spiritual insight. Based on 15 years of research, this is a unique book which throws a penetrating light on the secret traditions of early Christianity. It clearly demonstrates that number is at the heart of being. Jesus Christ, Sun of God, illustrates how the Christian symbolism of the Spiritual Sun is derived from numerical symbolism of the "ancient divinities."

Sun of gOd
Author: Gregory Sams
Publisher: Weiser Books
ISBN: 1609250788
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In Sun of gOd, cultural pioneer and philosopher Gregory Sams takes a fresh look at our solar benefactor. As Sams sees it cultures throughout the ancient world were right to recognize the Sun as a living, conscious being. The implications of a conscious provider in the sky are startling, though often obvious and in harmony with science, logic and common sense. Sun of gOd explores exciting new ground, adding a crucial piece to the jigsawpuzzle picture we have of the cosmos. In the light of a conscious Sun, Sams looks at our hardwired tendency for religion, notions of god and divinity, our place in the firmament, star formation, intelligent light, electromagnetism, feedback, chaos theory, free will, the four elements, and the nearuniversal selforganization of systems from the bottom up. "Could it really be that the universe waited 13.7 billion years until we came along to manifest the phenomenon of consciousness and made ours the only type of vessel able to experience it?" Sams thinks not. Citing David Bohm's discovery that even on the subatomic level of electrons there appears to be intention and choice, Sams goes on to suggest that creative intelligence may be a bot¬tomup system in which "everything, from a molecule of water to a neuron in our brain to the Sun itself, is a part of the bottom that is subtly steering a greater whole." From this perspective, he smoothly joins the microcosm to the macrocosm, revealing a Universe incorporating both intelligence and design, with no need for an Intelligent Designer.

Mystery of the White Lions
Author: Linda Tucker
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401928560
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The inspiring firsthand account of one woman’s journey into African shamanism and the mysteries of the most sacred animal on the continent: the legendary White Lion In 1991, Linda Tucker was rescued from a pride of lions in the Timbavati game region by a medicine woman known as the “Lion Queen.” So began Linda’s lifelong journey into the wisdom and ceremonies of Old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species barrier. Such knowledge is in accordance with the most guarded secrets of Ancient Egypt and humankind’s greatest riddle, the Sphinx. Scientists in our day have established that humankind’s most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result of our ancestors’ interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a genetic rarity within Panthera leo, and occurred in just one region on Earth: Timbavati. Today, White Lions form the center of the notorious “canned” trophy-hunting industry—hand-reared captive lions, shot in enclosures for gross sums of money. By contrast, shamans believe that killing a “lion sun god” is the ultimate sacrilege. How the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may determine how nature treats the human species. Whether we view them as prophetic “Lions of God” or simply as rare genetic mutations, the story of the White Lions is a true legend unfolding in our own extraordinary times. Inspiring, captivating, and thoroughly researched, Mystery of the White Lions is an unforgettable portrait of these magnificent beasts and of the overwhelming love that has driven Linda's every action to save them. “Through understanding the White Lion we will understand ourselves and our great role in the chain of being.” —Deepak Chopra

The Birth of the Sun-God
Author: Ry Deshpande
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Here is an attempt to present Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri in brief stanza-like cantos each with just twelve lines. This may sound terribly atrocious but if condensation can become dense and luminous, like a diamond, the gain could be ours. A word or a phrase lit with the spirit's glow and power can sparkle out in countless directions, grains of fire or else jewel-like intensities to see which only an intuitive sight is needed. Savitri is a poem written in pentametric blank verse form, mostly with end-stopped lines, running almost to twenty-four thousand in number. Divided into twelve books, as was the tradition for a classical epic, it has forty-eight cantos plus an epilogue. Part I consisting of the first twenty-four cantos was published in September 1950, just a couple of months before Sri Aurobindo's passing away in December of that year; Part II and Part III as a single tome comprising of the remaining twenty-four cantos and the epilogue appeared in May 1951. The poet spent a number of years in completing the composition, more than thirty years though with some long gaps in between. He also took Savitri as a means of "ascension" towards a higher and more perfect truth experienced by him spiritually. It is an expression of the realised sovereignty itself and hence becomes most valuable. Even in its outward character it is encyclopaedic. Therefore to think of putting such a voluminous work in scarcely six hundred lines could be a misadventure, a perilous task fully loaded with the question if this should be done at all. The comprehensive epic possesses simultaneously several dimensions and yet moves easily through region after incandescent region with remarkable swiftness. Also, it was planned and executed with great artistic care, with the essential "power of architectural construction", with detail piled upon wonderful detail, elaborate construction which maybe called Victorian, a Westminster Palace, never minimalistic with just two birds sitting on a long electric cable with no poles visible anywhere nor anything around them. So to compress it by a factor of forty is to tell stories, bad stories, if not to badly desecrate the magnificence of its structural design. More serious objection will be the want of spiritual authenticity when we are not in touch with the truth of inspiration behind it, that of the original creation. It will be presumptuous on our part even to speak of fidelity to the text charged as it is with yogic and occult abundances.Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his main work in the context of his great objective. It is not only the record of a seeing; it is also a supreme revelation of his evolutionary vision and its realisation. In its literary aspect it is the Vedic word or the mantra itself. It is "the voice of the rhythm which has created the worlds." Its supremacy is such that it becomes a happy chariot speeding the Rishi on the ascending slopes of heaven. It could also become a vehicle of awareness and fulfilment for the seeker-souls in their quest towards the great truth, mahadsatyam. About it Sri Aurobindo says that it is a word of power born out of the secret depths of our being and is brooded upon by a deeper consciousness. In it one has the sense of a rhythm coming from infinity and rushing to infinity, a rhythm which "has for ever been sounding in the eternal planes and began even in time ages ago and which returns into the infinite to go sounding on for ages after."
