Εκλεκτική Πνευματοκρατία,19ος αιώνας,

Η Γαλλική Επανάσταση χώρισε φιλοσοφικά τον 18ο και τον 19ο αιώνα.
..
Αν και δεν αποτελεί ενιαία ενότητα,η φιλοσοφία του 19ου αιώνα σφραγίστηκε από τον στοχασμό γύρω από την φιλοσοφία.
..
Στην Γαλλία σημειώθηκε μία αντίδραση των εκπροσώπων της παραδοσιαρχίας,όπως ο Ζόζεφ ντε Μαιστρ και ο Μποναλ,οι οποίοι εκφράστηκαν εναντίον των ''φιλοσόφων'' του 18ου αιώνα.
Παράλληλα παρατηρήθηκε η εξάπλωση των αντιλήψεων των ιδεολογιών,οι οποίες προέρχονταν από τον Κοντιγιακ και τις οποίες ασπάστηκαν ο Ντεστύ ντε Τρασύ και ο Ζώρζ Καμπανί.
Ο Μαιν ντε Μπιράν στο έργο του ''ΕΚΘΕΣΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΕΞΗ'' προσέγγιζε τις απόψεις των ιδεολόγων,από τις οποίες κατόπιν απομακρύνθηκε προοδευτικά,και στράφηκε προς την ενδοσκόπηση που τον οδήγησε να επανεισαγάγει τους μεταφυσικούς προβληματισμούς.
..
Η "ΕΚΛΕΚΤΙΚΗ ΠΝΕΥΜΑΤΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ" ήταν μία αντίδραση εναντίον των ιδεολόγων και οι επίσημοι εκφραστές της μετά την Παλινόρθωση ήταν ο Πιέρ Λαρομιγκιέρ,ο Ρουαγε-Κολάρ και ο Βικτόρ Κουζέν

Ω μη κοιμάστε, ω μη νυστάζετε.

Ο τρελός καλόγερος απ' τη Καππαδοκία
ήρθε κάποια νύχτα στην αγρύπνια μας.
Στάχτη στα γένια στάχτη στα μαλλιά
και μια φωτίτσα ζωντανή στο κούτελο.
Ω μη κοιμάστε, ω μη νυστάζετε.
Θά 'ρθει καιρός και για την άγια νύστα.

Όταν πεινάσει το παιδί, χορτάσει το σκουλήκι,
όταν τα φίδια ρίξουνε φαρμάκι στα νερά,
τότες η γης θ' ανοίξει να φανερωθώ,
θα με γνωρίσεις και θα σε γνωρίσω,
στου πηγαδιού την άκρη θ' ανταμώσουμε
και θ' ανεβούμε συντροφιά την ανηφόρα.
Τότες η γης θ' ανοίξει να φανερωθώ.
θα με γνωρίσεις και θα σε γνωρίσω.
Ω μη κοιμάστε, ω μη νυστάζετε.

Αιώνες μακρινοί και θεοσκότεινοι,
στη ρίζα του βουνού σε κάποια πέτρα,
κρυφά μαστόρευα και φύλαγα για
σένα το ράσο, το ραβδί και το ταγάρι.

Ο τρελός καλόγερος απ' τη Καππαδοκία
ήρθε κάποια νύχτα στην αγρύπνια μας.
Στάχτη στα γένια στάχτη στα μαλλιά
και μια φωτούλα ζωντανή στο κούτελο.
Ω μη κοιμάστε, ω μη νυστάζετε.

Αρχαία Ελληνικά Πρότυπα

Τιμή σ'εκείνους όπου στη ζωή τους
όρισαν και φυλάγουν Θερμοπύλες.
..
Ποτέ από το χρέος μη κινούντες
δίκαιοι κ' ίσοι σ'όλες τους τις πράξεις,
αλλά με λύπη κιόλας κ' ευσπλαχνία.
..
Γενναίοι οσάκις είναι πλούσιοι,κι όταν
είναι πτωχοί,πάλ' εις μικρόν γενναίοι,
πάλι συντρέχοντες όσο μπορούνε.
..
Πάντοτε την αλήθεια ομιλούντες,
πλην χωρίς μίσος για τους ψευδόμενους.
..
Και περισσότερη τιμή τους πρέπει
όταν προβλέπουν
πως ο Εφιάλτης θα φανεί στο τέλος,
κ' οι Μήδοι επί τέλους θα διαβούνε.

Ανεβαίνοντας τον Όλυμπο

Για να γνωρίσω τους Θεούς σου
άνοιξα μόνος μου το δρόμο,
για όλο μου το δρόμο
την απόφαση μου παίρνοντας
ωσά μονάκριβο καρπό
για να δροσίζω,στις ακρότατες στιγμές
της δίψας μου,τα χείλια !
..
Όλυμπε,ανήφορε του Δία,
το χώμα σου είναι μαύρο
ζυμωμένο μ'όλα τα χινόπωρα
των καστανιών και των πλατάνων,
και το πόδι χώνεται βαθύτερα από το 'στραγάλι
για να σ' ανεβεί !

Ο Οδυσσέας στους Κήπους του Αλκίνοου

'' Ειρήνη μέσα στο χάος ''

'' Δύναμη μέσα στη προσπάθεια ''

'' Κατανόηση μέσα στη πολυπλοκότητα ''

'' Συμβίωση μέσα στη διαφορετικότητα ''

Στόχος μας είναι η δημιουργία μιάς ιδεώδους κοινωνίας ή έστω μιάς περιορισμένης κοινότητας ανθρώπων,με δομές και κανόνες,που να εγγυώνται την ευτυχία όλων των μελών της.

Ο βασικός λόγος που μας οδηγεί στην οργάνωση και δημιουργία αυτής της κοινωνίας εντοπίζεται τόσο στην ανθρώπινη φύση μας όσο και στις δομές των σημερινών κοινωνιών.

Η πάντοτε ανήσυχη ανθρώπινη φύση,επιζητεί διαρκώς την υπέρβαση της.

Από την άλλη,οι δομές των σημερινών κοινωνιών και η γενικότερη φύση τους που οδηγούν στον εκμαυλισμό κυβερνούντων και κυβερνουμένων,στην έκπτωση των αξιών,την αδικία και την ανισότητα,στην παρακμή και τη σήψη,μας ωθούν στην προσπάθεια να δημιουργήσουμε μία κοινωνία,όπου όλα αυτά τα κοινωνικά πάθη να βρούν τη λύση τους ή και να αποφευχθούν εκ των προτέρων εξ ολοκλήρου και στη ρίζα τους.

Δεν δραπετεύουμε από το Υπαρκτό στο Μη-Υπαρκτό.
Βασισμένοι σε ξεκάθαρες,αγνές,λίγες αλλά ουσιώδεις και απλές στην εφαρμογή φιλοσοφικές αρχές κτίζουμε τη Πολιτεία μας.

Νέος Ουμανισμός

'' Η γνώση της ανθρώπινης οντότητας ως συνείδηση και βούληση είναι το θεμέλιο κάθε ανθρώπινης γνώσης.''

Προβάλλουμε το ανθρώπινο πρόσωπο,την ανθρώπινη οντότητα,ως την κεντρική αξία,μέχρι του σημείου να θεωρούμε τη γνώση του ως προύπόθεση κάθε γνώσης.

Διδαχή της δυνατής αποκάλυψης της ανθρώπινης οντότητας μέσω της λατρείας της Δικαιοσύνης.

Εν ονόματι του προσώπου ως πνευματικού όντος αγωνιζόμαστε.

Αυτός ο Νέος Ουμανισμός βασίζεται σε κάθε πολιτισμό που προβάλλει το ανθρώπινο πρόσωπο ως ανώτερη αξία έναντι των υλικών αναγκαιοτήτων και των συλλογικών μηχανισμών που προωθούν την ανάπτυξη τους.

Προσαρμόζομαι και Προσαρμόζω

Προς το Αρμόζων.

Σε κάθε γενιά ανατίθεται ο ρόλος της διατήρησης των παλαιών και αγαπητών μορφών,
αλλά επίσης και της συνετής επέκτασης και του εμπλουτισμού τους.

Κάθε κύκλος πρέπει να προσθέσει τους δικούς του καρπούς.
Καρπούς της δικής του έρευνας και αξιολόγησης.
Αξιολογώ τα καλά,σύμφωνα με την έρευνα και τη βιωματική μου εικόνα,και τα κρατάω.
Αποβάλλω,όμως,ότι θεωρώ μη χρήσιμο ή άνευ αξίας.

Καταστρέφω τις παλιές μορφές για να δημιουργήσω νέες,
αντάξιες μου.Εκείνο που χρειάζομαι στη διαδικασία αυτή
είναι η θέληση να αλλάξω,η γνώση τι να αλλάξω και η ικανότητα της προσαρμογής.

Χρειάζεται να αποφύγω τον κίνδυνο της αποκρυστάλλωσης με την πλαστικότητα και την διεύρυνση.

Αν όλα γύρω μου εγώ τα βρίσκω αντάξια μου ή είμαι τυχερός ευδαίμων ή έχω αποκρυσταλλωθεί,έχω παγιώσει το
περιβάλλον μου.

Ο κίνδυνος βρίσκεται στον δογματισμό και στην ακαμψία.

Ισχυρίζονται ότι η παλαιά τάξη πραγμάτων μεταβάλλεται.
Πράγματι μεταβάλλεται.Προς ποιά κατεύθυνση όμως ;
Μεταβάλλεται ως προς την ποσότητα,όχι ως προς την ποιότητα.
Είναι μία αλλαγή διάστασης και μορφής,και όχι ουσίας ή
βάσεως.

Αφαιρώντας τις προσθήκες του παρελθόντος που συσκοτίζουν και κηλιδώνουν,έχω την δυνατότητα να κτίσω
σε φωτεινές και ακηλίδωτες βάσεις.

Γιατί κοινωνία και όχι άτομα

Η νέα μαθητεία είναι πρωταρχικά ένα πείραμα ομαδικής εργασίας και το κύριο αντικείμενο της δεν είναι η τελειοποίηση ενός μεμονωμένου μαθητή.

Τα άτομα προορίζονται για να αλληλοσυμπληρώνονται και να αποτελούν απαραίτητα στοιχεία το ένα του άλλου.

Στο σύνολο των ιδιοτήτων τους όλα αυτά τα άτομα,
θα παρουσιάζουν μία αδιαίρετη ενότητα,
θα είναι ενιαία μονάδα,
μία πνευματική κοινωνία ικανή και χρήσιμη,
μία κοινωνία μέσω της οποίας η πνευματική ενέργεια να μπορεί να μεταβιβάζεται σε όλους τους ανθρώπους.

Οι σφαίρες υπηρεσίας των μεμονωμένων μαθητών παραμένουν οι ίδιες όπως και πρώτα,αλλά στα διάφορα πεδία της ατομικής προσπάθειας τους προστίθεται μία ομαδική δραστηριότητα και ζωή που γίνεται κατανοητώτερη καθώς υλοποιείται.

Πρώτο αναγκαίο ζητούμενο είναι συνεπώς,
να συνδεθούμε και να ενοποιηθούμε σαν μία μονάδα,
ώστε κάθε πρόσωπο σ'αυτή να μπορεί να εργαστεί σε στενή νοητική επικοινωνία και πνευματική συνεργασία με τ'άλλα.

Αυτό απαιτεί οπωσδήποτε χρόνο,προσπάθεια,θέληση,
γνώση και καλή διάθεση.
Όλοι είμαστε ίσοι,αλλά ο καθένας διαφορετικός.
Η διαφορετικότητα μας είναι που δίνει την αρμονία στο σύνολο.

Γρήγορα αποτελέσματα και θεαματικές ανελίξεις
δεν είναι στις υποσχέσεις μου.
Η έφεση,η υπομονή,η καλή διάθεση,η πειθαρχία,
η φιλία,η αποδοχή της διαφορετικότητας μας,
είναι οι καλοί μας σύμβουλοι.
Η δειλία,η αναβλητικότητα,η έλλειψη ειλικρίνειας,
ο υπέρμετρος εγω'ι'σμός,η ματαιοδοξία,η υποκρισία,η μωροπιστία,η προπαίτεια,η αλαζονεία,το θράσσος, η υποτίμηση,οι επικρίσεις,η βιασύνη,
είναι εμπόδια στη πρόοοδο μας.

Υποτάσσοντας τις ιδέες της προσωπικής μου ανάπτυξης,
στις ανάγκες της ομάδας,επιταχύνω την πρόοδο της ομάδας,
συγχρόνως όμως της δικής μου.
'' Τράβα με να σε τραβώ ν'ανεβούμε στο βουνό ''

Είναι καλό να θυμηθούμε ότι,κατά γενικό κανόνα,
κανείς δεν πείθεται σ'εκείνο που του λένε οι άλλοι,
-άσχετα πόσο φανερή είναι η αλήθεια-.

Μόνο οι αλήθειες εκείνες που δοκιμάζονται μέσα στο καμίνι της δικής μας,της ατομικής μας εμπειρίας,αφομοιώνονται πραγματικά στη συνείδηση μας και δίνουν καρπούς.

Πώς όμως θα βιώσεις κάτι,αν δεν στο δείξει κάποιος και το δοκιμάσεις ;

Virtues

6 core virtues. Under these virtues they listed 24 character strengths associated with each one. The character strengths were the avenues to living and attaining that virtue. Let’s take a look at the list:

1. Wisdom and knowledge-cognitive strengths that entail the acquisition and use of knowledge

Creativity
Curiosity
Open-mindedness
Love of learning
Perspective

2. Courage-emotional strengths that involve the exercise of will to accomplish goals in the face of opposition, external or internal

Bravery
Persistence
Integrity
Vitality

3. Humanity-interpersonal strengths that involve tending and befriending others

Love
Kindness
Social Intelligence

4. Justice-civic strengths that underlie healthy community life

Citizenship
Fairness
Leadership

5. Temperance-strengths that protect against excess

Forgiveness and mercy
Humility/modesty
Prudence
Self-regulation (self-control)

6. Transcendence-strengths that forge connections to other people and the larger universe and provide meaning

Appreciation of beauty and excellence (awe, wonder, elevation)
Gratitude
Hope
Humor
Spirituality

Before you proceed further, take 20 minutes to take the VIA Survey of Character Strengths, available free atauthentichappiness.org under the heading “Engagement Questionnaires.”

Did you take the test? Good. Now look over the list of strengths given in your results.

No test is perfect, and the taker can bias the results by choosing answers that don’t describe themselves as much as they describe the person they wish they were. So you want to double-check that the strengths listed are the real you. Seligman and Peterson recommend that you evaluate the authenticity of each strength with this criteria:

A sense of ownership and authenticity (“This is the real me”).
A feeling of excitement while displaying the strength, especially at first.
A rapid learning curve as the strength is first practiced.
A continuous learning of new ways to enact the strength.
A sense of yearning to find ways to use it.
A feeling of inevitability in using the strength, as if one cannot be stopped or dissuaded from its display.
Joy, zest, enthusiasm, even ecstasy while using it.
Invigoration rather than exhaustion when using the strength.
The creation and pursuit of personal projects that revolve around the strength.
Intrinsic motivation to use the strength.

PRE-CHRISTIAN MYSTICS AND INFLUENCES ON MYSTICISM

Pythagoras (c.580/570-c.500 B.C.E.): A Presocratic philosopher. Founder of a major school of philosophy/religion that emphasized the mystical interconnections in numbers, nature, and the human soul. The natural and the ethical world were inseparable.

Parmenides (c.515-c.450 B.C.E.): On Nature, extant in fragments. Another of the Presocratics. Extends Pythagoras by insisting that all that exists is unchanging and unified. Therefore, if something is changing, it is illusory. This paves the way for the two-world view important for much mysticism. Influences: Pythagoras.

Plato (428-348 B.C.E.): Sophist, Republic, Parmenides, many others. Most important of ancient philosophers. His philosophical system provides the basis of most later mystical forms.Influences: Pythagoras, Parmenides.

Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.): Metaphysics, De Anima, Nicomachean Ethics. While Aristotle himself is not really considered to be a mystic, he is an important influence on later mystics, especially when combined with Plato by Plotinus, and also when Christianized in the high Middle Ages.

Philo (c.20 B.C.E.-c.41 C.E.): The Contemplative Life. An Alexandrian Jew who drew fromPlatonist tradition, Stoicism, and neo-Pythagoreanism to create a fusion of the active or virtuous life and the contemplative life.

Plotinus (c.205-270 C.E.): Enneads. The non-Christian, neo-Platonic basis for much Christian, Jewish, and Islamic mysticism. Influences: Plato, Aristotle.

Porphyry (c.232-304 C.E.): Isagoge. Compiled Plotinus' Enneads, and wrote a life of Plotinus. He was strongly anti-Christian, yet he became important in the history of Christian mysticism.

Proclus or Proclusthe Lycian (412-485 C.E.): The Elements of Theology. Athenian Neo-platonist, who influenced Pseudo-Dionysius, and beyond him most of the mystical tradition. While respecting Plotinus, Proclus also amended his philosophical structure.

CHRISTIAN MYSTICS AND MOVEMENTS

(1) Early Church

Ignatius of Antioch (c. 35-c.107): Christocentric mystic. For him Christ's death and resurrectiontake on mystical significance.

St. Polycarp (c.69-c.155): Had a mystical vision which foretold his martyrdom by fire.

Justin Martyr (c.105-c.165): First Apology. Used Greek philosophy as the stepping-stone to Christian theology. The mystical conclusions that some Greeks arrived at, pointed to Christ.Influences: Pythagoras, Plato, Plotinus, Aristotle, Stoicism.

Irenaeus (c.125-c.202): Revolution and Overthrow of False Knowledge (or Against Heresies). Irenaeus' work was directed against Gnosticism. He emphasized John's gospel, particularly theLogos, which became the voice of God that revealed itself to all people.

Tertullian (c.155-c.222): To Martyrs, Apology, Against the Valentinians, Against Marcion, On the Soul. Emphasized a faith that was a contradiction to reason. "I believe because it is absurd." First to use trinitarian (three-in-one) formulation for God.

Origen (c.185-254): On Principles, Against Celsus. Studied under Clement of Alexandria, and probably also Ammonius Saccus (Plotinus' teacher). He Christianized and theologized neo-Platonism. Each soul has individually fallen (emanation), and must find its way back to God (return) through the help of the Logos, Christ. Origen looks quite Gnostic at times.

St. Antony (c.251-356): The Letters of St. Antony the Great. Early hermit or solitary monk, and a model for later monasticism, particularly of his eremetical type.

St. Athanasius (c.296-373): Against the Gentiles, Apology Against the Arians. Bishop of Alexandria (328-73), wrote a Life of Antony, and was an influence on later Eastern Orthodox mysticism.

Gregory of Nazianzus (329-389): Forty-five Sermons. One of the Cappadocians, early church fathers.

Basil the Great (c.330-379): Longer Rules, Liturgy of St. Basil. One of the Cappadocians, early church fathers. He gave a mystical orientation to the monastic movement.

Gregory of Nyssa (c.335-c.398): Dialogue with his Sister Macrina concerning the Resurrection. Believed that the universe existed as a harmonious order emanating from God. One of theCappadocians.

Augustine (354-430): De Trinitate, Confessions. Important source for much mediaeval mysticism. Brings Platonism and Christianity together. He emphasizes the soul's search for God, made possible by the illumination of the mind of God. Influences: Plato, Plotinus.

(2) Mediaeval (Catholic and Orthodox) Church

Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (writing c.500): The Celestial Hierarchy, the Mystical Theology, and The Divine Names. Originates the distinction between kataphatic and apophatictheology. Influences: Plotinus.

John Scotus Eriugena (c.810-c.877): Periphyseon. Eriugena translated Pseudo-Dionysius from Greek into Latin. He holds that humans are a microcosm of the universe. That which is shared, the essence of all things, is God. Influences: Plotinus, Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius.

Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153): Sermons, De diligendo Deo, On the Love of God. Cistercian mystic. Promoted a mystical vision of rhapsodic love, in which the Church is described in erotic terms as the bride of Christ. His love-mysticism had the tendency to be anti-intellectual, as in his disputes with Abelard.

William of St.-Thierry (c.1085-1148): Golden Letter, On the Contemplation of God, On the Nature and Dignity of Love. A Cistercian contemporary of Bernard's, William also emphasized love-mysticism, but with subtle differences from Bernard in his use of Augustine.

Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179): Scivias, The Book of Divine Works, Letters. Early German speculative mystic, reminiscent of Isaiah or Ezekiel at times. She was greatly respected in her time, both for her writings as well as for her music and art. Influences: Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux.

Victorines: Hugh of St. Victor (c.1096-c.1142), Richard of St. Victor (d. 1173): On Sacraments. Hugh is the more important of the two. He argues for a close tie between reason and mysticism.

Francis of Assisi (John Bernardone) (1182-1226): Canticle of the Sun. Founder of the Franciscan order, which emphasized self-renunciation and poverty. Francis approaches nature mysticism at times, particularly when he sees God in all living things.

Finest expression of devotio moderna, modern spirituality, which downplays the Rhineland mystics' concern with contemplation and speculative theology, and stresses the practice of simple piety and asceticism. Influences: Eckhart.

Nicolaus of Cusa (Cusanus, Nikolaus Krebs) (1401-1464): The Vision of God (1453), De Docta Ignorantia. German mystic. Part of the revival of Platonism in the Renaissance. Cusanus was a speculative mystic who emphasized the incomprehensibility and paradoxicality of God.Influences: Plotinus, Pseudo-Dionysius, Eckhart.

St. Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510): Life and Doctrines, Treatise on Purgatory. Mysticism spurred in part by the abuse and neglect by her husband. Her trauma becomes mystical as she argues that purgatory is a stage on the mystical path, the final purification of the effects of self-love.

Teresa of Avila (1515-1582): Life, by Herself; The Way of Perfection; The Interior Castle. Spanish Carmelite nun. Formed the Discalced (Barefoot) Carmelites, with St. John of the Cross. Is very important for describing the stages of the mystical journey. Influences: Augustine.

St. John of the Cross (Juan de Yepes) (1542-1591): Dark Night of the Soul and Ascent of Mt. Carmel. Spanish mystic. (Discalced Carmelite) Both John and Teresa emphasize mysticism as union with God, attainable only in the denial of the self. Influences: Teresa of Avila.

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600): Hermetic philosopher, one of the most important philosophers of the Renaissance. Bruno advocated a kind of nature mysticism which had a strong scientific component to it.

St. Francois de Sales (1567-1622): The Introduction to the Devout Life (Philothea), Treatise on the Love of God. French mystic. Devout Life is a classic of French spirituality.

Louis Claude de Saint Martin (1743-1803): Theosophic Correspondence. While technically Catholic, St. Martin's mysticism follows much closer in the tradition of Boehme and other nature mystics. Influences: Boehme, Swedenborg, Weigel, Law.

(3) Non-Catholic Christian Mystics (16th-18th century)

Martin Luther (1483-1546): While Luther had a well-known antipathy to mystics, it is also true that there is the foundation of mystical life in his theology of the heart, particularly in his early thought. Influences: Augustine, Theologica Germanica.

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535): De Occulta Philosophia (1533). It is not clear whether to call Agrippa Catholic or not. He did not embrace the Reformation, yet many of his themes are much closer to Weigel and Boehme than to any Catholic mystic. His was a speculative mysticism, as much interested in magic and alchemy as in spiritual life.

Paracelsus (Phillipus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim) (1493-1541): Another speculative mystic more interested in medical alchemy, astronomy, and natural philosophy.

Valentin Weigel (1533-1588): Know Thyself (1572). Weigel begins in the tradition of Rhineland mysticism, and moves to the speculative nature mysticism of Paracelsus. Influences: Eckhart, Tauler, Theologica Germanica, Paracelsus.

Jacob Boehme (1575-1624): Aurora (1612) [in German], Mysterium Pansophicum (1620),Signature Rerum (1622), Mysterium Magnum (1623). Lusatian Lutheran. A major figure in German mysticism. Influences: Eckhart, the Jewish Kabbalah, Valentin Weigel, Renaissance alchemy, Paracelsus.

Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (1636-1689): Kabbala Denudata: The Kabbalah Uncovered. AChristian Kabbalist. Influenced by the Kabbalah, Jacob Boehme.

Angelus Silesius (Johannes Scheffler 1624-1677): The Cherubic Wanderer [Hungarian version] (1657-on). Mysticism in epigrammatic couplets.

George Fox (1624-1691): Founder of the Quakers. Influences: Boehme.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646-1716): Monadology. Usually thought of as a rationalist philosopher rather than a mystic. However, while it may be too much to call him a mystic, it is certainly possible to see the affinities between his thought and that of Cusanus, Weigel, Boehme, and other nature mystics. His most important contribution is to blend inner life with rationality; most Pietists (and most scientists) assumed them to be mutually exclusive.

William Law (1686-1761): The Spirit of Love (1752-1754). English mystic. Law is most famous for his devotional works (like A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life), but later in his life he became interested in Jacob Boehme, and wrote several mystical treatises.

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772): Many works, including Arcana Coelestia, Heaven and Hell,The Heavenly City, Divine Love and Wisdom, etc. Swedenborg worked out a detailed understanding of nature mysticism, applying it to everything from the animal world to the spiritual world. He is one of the few mystics to have an active following to the present.

Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (1702-1782): Nature mystic, Pietist. Influences: Boehme, Weigel, Swedenborg.

Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803): Another person who is often not counted as a mystic, but who followed Leibnitz in attempting to blend science and mysticism into a kind of vitalism.Influences: Cusanus, Boehme, Leibnitz.

NOTE: After the 18th century, the influence of mysticism explodes in the Romanticism of Germany, England, and America. True mystics, however, remain few.

JEWISH MYSTICS AND MYSTICISM

Kabbalah [See also links maintained by Colin Low.]

Abraham ben Samuel Abulafia (1240-1291): One of the founders of the Spanish Kabbalah.

Moses ben Shem Tob de Leon (1250-1305): Zohar (The Book of Splendor). The most important writer of the most important Kabbalist document.

Moses Cordovero (1522-1570): Pardes Rimmonim, Elimah Rabbati, Palmtree of Deborah. Spanish Kabbalist. Cordovero laid the groundwork for the Kabbalist ethical literature that proliferated in the 16th-18th centuries.

Isaac Luria (1534-1572): Founder of the Lurianic Kabbalah, which is the modern version. Mostmodern Kabbalists follow Luria's version.

Hasidism

Israel ben Eliezer, Ba'al Shem Tov (Besht) (1700-1760): Founder of the Hasidim, the sect appearing during the final stages of the Kabbalah's development.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov in the Ukraine (1772-1810): Martin Buber, the author of I and Thou(Ich und Du), calls him the last Jewish mystic.

ISLAMIC MYSTICS AND MYSTICISM

Sufism has sources in sacred texts, the remembrance of Allah, and respect for those who exemplify the straight path of Islam through and beyond explicit injunctions of the law.

Hasan of Basra (d. 728): Early advocate of ascetic piety. Hasan emphasized the Koran or Qur'anas the standard of right and wrong, which in turn emphasized the fear of God.

al Hallaj (d. 922): The Ta wa-sin Tried and executed for claiming that God had come to dwell in him.

al Farabi (ca. 873-950): Important philosopher as well as a mystic. Influences: Plotinus.

al Ghazali (d. 1111): First-rate Aristotelean philosopher, who extended Aristotle's theory of perception to argue for a kind of mystical perception that goes beyond reason. Influences: Aristotle.

ADDENDUM: TERMS, TRENDS, AND MOVEMENTS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT

Alchemy: Alchemy, as often as not, assumes a Hermetic world view. Most people know alchemy as the search for the principle of transmutation of baser metals into higher (e.g., lead into gold). It is really broader, and represents the attempt to understand the connections in the world. Paracelsus practiced a medical alchemy, in which the body was a collection of balancing principles, and illness meant that the balance was off. If you take away the spiritual assumptions behind the alchemical forces, you have something remarkably close to Newtonian physics.

Beghards: male counterparts to the Beguines. Fewer, and less of an issue for the church at the time.

Beguines: group of female contemplatives, some of whom were mystics. They were condemned as heretics because they represented a challenge to the church's authority. Many important female mystics were associated with the Beguines, although the group was not necessarily mystical (some thought that mystical visions got in the way of practical life).

Gnosticism: Derived from Greek gnosis, knowledge. The Gnostic is one who claims esoteric knowledge about God and the metaphysical structure of the universe. There is a strong distinction between spirit and matter, God and the world. This position sometimes resulted in asceticism (the spirit must be liberated from the bonds of the flesh), and sometimes antinomianism (the material world is inconsequential, so there is no point in resisting carnal impulses). Some later mysticism (e.g. quietism) has the world-denying aspects of gnosticism.

Hermeticism: Followers of the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus, or thrice-great Hermes, reputed to be an Egyptian writer. Much nature mysticism of the Renaissance found hermetic thought useful, because both understood the world to be intrinsically interconnected, and only understandable once those connections were understood. Hermes mixed with Pseudo-Dionysius was common fare in Renaissance Italy, until Isaac Casaubon showed that Hermes was not who he said he was.

Kabbalah: Jewish mysticism that has its roots earlier than Christianity, but which flourishes in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The Kabbalah struggles with the problem of how the human person can relate to a God who is totally other, and how that God relates to creation.

Monasticism: Although the tendency to live apart for spiritual devotion has a long history, it is closely tied to mysticism in the Middle Ages. The disciplines associated with mysticism have their most rigorous application there. The most famous orders are the Franciscans (St. Francis of Assisi, Bonaventure), the Dominicans (Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart), the Carmelites(Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross), the Benedictines (St. Benedict), and the Jesuits (St. Ignatius of Loyola). The orders exist to this day, and continue to be places that encourage mysticism and contemplation (Thomas Merton was a Trappist monk, for instance).

Rhineland Mysticism: The Rhineland mystics were German mystics that follow the influence of Meister Eckhart. They tend to emphasize the search for the inner ground of the soul.

Sufism: The mystical bent in Islam is supported by passages from the Koran (or Qur'an) and is represented by the Sufis. Because there is a dominant emphasis on prophetic activism and legalism in Islam, Muslim tradition may be misunderstood as entirely inhospitable to mysticism. But the Sufi way, mainly transmitted through "lay orders" that trace their origin to some influential spiritual teacher, preserve a distinctively Islamic mysticism. Among these Sufi subtraditions are the Naqshbandi and the Nimatullahi, but there are several others. A few modern organizations (such as the International Sufi Movement led by Hidayat Inayat Khan) claim descent from traditional Sufis but do not require their followers to be Muslims. And recently the great Sufi poetJalaluddin Rumi has been rediscovered as a source of inspiration by poets Robert Bly andColeman Barks. However, most practicing Sufis affirm that they are Muslims.

IMPORTANT SECONDARY SOURCES

The secondary sources in mysticism are quite varied. Sometimes whole works are devoted to the subject; sometimes chapters of quite unexpected works will be on mysticism. More general reflections on mysticism can be found as introductions or appendices to works on particular mystics or chapters in philosophies or psychologies of religion. And, many works on mysticism that seem to be reflections on the nature of mysticism turn out to be anthologies of writings of various mystics. Compounding the problem is the fact that the word "mysticism" has been used for all sorts of experiences, philosophical positions, personality types, writings, or whatever. Where to go?

Well, here are my favorites. Of course, this is highly selective, not to mention somewhat idiosyncratic. I will start with the good general bibliographies first -- consulting these will lead you to other things. You will have to find bibliographies for individual mystics yourself (come see me on this; I might be able to help). In the "General Secondary Sources" section, I have not included several fine works that reflect on mysticism in general from the point of view of a particular mystic (except for von Huegel's work, that is). Most of these you can find by looking for the particular mystic.

(1) Bibliographies

Bowman, Mary Ann. Western mysticism: A guide to the basic works. Chicago: American Library Association, 1978. ~~ A very good work, to 1978. It is well organized, and has a good index. It is better than Sharma & Arndt, although both are quite old.

CD-ROM Indices -- Modern Languages Association (MLA) Index, Philosopher's Index, PsychLit Index, Religion Index. ~~ All of these will produce more references than you can use, if you look either under "mysticism" or under a particular mystic's name, or under the name of a movement (e.g. "Beguine"). These indices have the virtue of also giving you abstracts. . . .

Jones, C., Wainwright, G., Yarnold, E., eds. The study of spirituality. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986. ~~ Each entry comes with a short bibliography. This is a good place to start if you want information on a particular individual.

McGinn, Bernard. The foundations of mysticism. New York: Crossroad Press, 1991. ~~ McGinn has a great bibliography in the back of this book. More on McGinn later.

Sharma, Umesh and Arndt, John. Mysticism: A select bibliography. Waterloo, Ont.: Waterloo Lutheran University, 1973. ~~ This bibliography goes well beyond Western mysticism. At over 1500 entries, it is quite good (although of course, still selective, given the immense amount of material they could have included). There are only two real drawbacks: it is hard to find . . . , and it is over 20 years old (a lot has happened in theory of mysticism since 1973). While the entries are not organized under headings, there is an index at the back. A good resource.

Underhill, Evelyn. Mysticism, 12th edition. New York: Meridian Books, 1955. ~~ Underhill lists texts, translations, and studies for many different mystics, quite a number not included in my list.

(2) Biographies

Encyclopedia of philosophy, Macmillan and Free Press, 1967. ~~ It will not have all the mystics listed above, but only those that are clearly philosophically significant. However, what it does have is well done.

Ferguson, John. An illustrated encyclopedia of mysticism and the mystery religions. New York: Seabury Press, 1977. ~~ Although sometimes a bit sloppy about its characterizations (I think it buys into the hype a bit too much), this is a good quick reference for people, movements, and ideas.

Jones, C., Wainwright, G., Yarnold, E., eds. The study of spirituality. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986. ~~ A good resource on the history of spirituality, with dozens of entries by major writers on important people, movements, and concepts.

Reese, W. L., Dictionary of philosophy and religion. Humanities Press, 1980. ~~ Very brief entries on virtually all the people mentioned here.

(3) General Secondary Sources

Almond, Philip. Mystical experience and religious doctrine: An investigation of the study of mysticism in world religions. Berlin and New York: Mouton, 1982. ~~ Almond focusses on the interpretation of mystical experience, and does a good critique of different thinkers.

Bynum, Caroline Walker. Jesus as mother. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1982. ~~ A classic on mysticism and women in the High Middle Ages.

Carmody, Denise L. & John T. Carmody. Mysticism: Holiness east and west. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1996. ~~ A breezy overview of mysticism around the world. As with most works of this sort, the further the term mysticism is extended, the harder it is to maintain the commonalities. Still, not a bad introduction.

Certeau, Michel de. The mystic fable. Volume 1: The 16th and 17th Centuries. Chicago: University of Chicago, 1992. ~~ de Certeau is chiefly known for his work in post-modern and post-colonial circles, mainly on embodiment. This is one of his final works, and is an excellent rethinking of early modern mysticism as the "attempt to represent the unrepresentable."

Ellwood, Robert. Mysticism and religion. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 1980. ~~ Long used as a basic introduction to mysticism in religion departments. Also available in a slightly revised second edition ~ New York: Seven Bridges Press, 1998.

Evans, Donald. Spirituality and human nature. Albany, New York: SUNY Press, 1992. ~~ A philosopher/mystic teaching at the University of Toronto gives a defense of the rationality and respectability of mystical experience.

Forman, Robert K. C., ed. The problem of pure consciousness: Mysticism and philosophy. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1990. ~~ A good compilation of essays on the debate betweenperennialists and constructivists, as Forman calls them, or those who regard mystical experience as pure, and those that argue that it is mediated through language, tradition, culture, religion, and other factors.

Happold, F. C. Mysticism: A study and an anthology. London, England: Penguin, 1963. ~~ One of the first attempts to place mysticism in the modern world.

Horne, James. Beyond mysticism (1978). The moral mystic (1983). Waterloo, Ontario: Wilfrid Laurier University Press. ~~ Both these books deserve more attention than they receive. Horne identifies and tackles several issues in philosophy and mysticism.

Huegel, F. von. The mystical element of religion. 2 vols., London: Dent, 1908; New York: Dutton, 1923. ~~ The grand-daddy of modern scholarship on mysticism. Working from the writings of Catherine of Genoa, Huegel concludes that the mystical or experiential element is an essential component of true religion.

Idel, Moshe. Kabbalah: New perspectives. New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1988. ~~ The best recent discussion of the Kabbalah.

Idel, Moshe & Bernard McGinn, eds. Mystical union and monotheistic faith: An ecumenical dialogue. New York: MacMillan, 1989. ~~ An investigation of the unio mystica in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. ~ Reprinted as Mystical Union in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam : An Ecumenical Dialogue. New York: Continuum, 1996.

James, William. The varieties of religious experience. New York: Mentor Books, 1958. ~~ One of the first Gifford Lectures ever given (1901-1902), James' book has a long section in which he gives examples of mystical experience and outlines a rudimentary phenomenology of mysticism. This is the starting point for many later writers. His (1897) essay "The will to believe" raises questions that complement rather than contribute directly to the study of mysticism.

Jones, Richard. Mysticism examined. Albany, N.Y.: SUNY Press, 1993. ~~ A collection of Jones' essays from the previous 15 years, he takes an analytic philosophical approach to the questions of mysticism.

Katz, Steven, ed. Mysticism and philosophical analysis (1978). London and New York: Oxford University Press.
___________, ed. Mysticism and religious traditions (1983). London and New York: Oxford University Press.
___________, ed. Mysticism and language (1992). London and New York: Oxford University Press.
All these volumes have important essays in them, not the least of which is Katz' own "Language, Epistemology, and Mysticism" in the first book. That essay set the stage for a debate over the nature of mystical experience that continues today.

Louth, Andrew. The origins of the Christian mystical tradition. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1981. ~~ Just about anything Louth writes is worth reading (he also did a very good introduction to Pseudo-Dionysius, called Denis the Areopagite, and several essays on patristic-age mystics); this was the best on this topic before McGinn's work.

McGinn, Bernard. The foundations of mysticism. New York: Crossroad Press, 1991. ~~ The first of a promised 4-volume series on the history and theory of mysticism, this is a spectacular beginning. It is wide-ranging, sympathetic to mysticism without being blind to its problems, very well researched, and easy to read. Besides that, it gives intelligent critiques of many other recent writers on mysticism. It is already orders of magnitude better than anything else out there. (Do I sound enthusiastic?). Volume II, The growth of mysticism, continues the strong tradition of scholarship. It covers the period from Gregory the Great to the 12th century.

Otto, Rudolf. The idea of the holy. London: Oxford University Press, 1958. ~~ As the subtitle says, "an inquiry into the non-rational factor in the idea of the divine and its relation to the rational." Technically not mysticism, but Otto (1869-1937) has major implications for mysticism. His later book, Mysticism east and west, which may from the title seem more relevant to a discussion of mysticism, is a seriously flawed attempt to compare Meister Eckhart and Acharya Sankara.

Scholem, Gershom. Major trends in Jewish mysticism. New York: Schocken Books, 1961. (First published in 1941.) ~~ Scholem is the most famous modern interpreter of Jewish mysticism. This provides a good, if somewhat breezy overview.

Scholem, Gershom. Kabbalah. New York: Dorset Books, 1974. ~~ Much more indepth on this important type of Jewish mysticism, although Idel's book is more scholarly.

Staal, Frits. Exploring mysticism. London, England: Penguin, 1975. ~~ Staal argues that mystical experience can be studied in the same way that we would study any other object of scientific investigation, as long as there is some way of inducing actual mystical states in the researcher.

Stace, W. T. Mysticism and philosophy. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippencott, 1960. ~~ Stace makes some classic distinctions here that have become part of the language of theory of mysticism.

Underhill, Evelyn. Mysticism, 12th edition. New York: Meridian Books, 1955. ~~ First published in 1910, Underhill tries to consider mysticism from both the outside and the inside. This is an old classic, and worth consulting, even though later works fulfill this project better.

Underhill, Evelyn. Practical mysticism. New York: E. P. Dutton, 1915. ~~ Despite the odd title, this is a good introduction to the life and practice of mysticism. Underhill intends this as a kind of primer to the mystical life.

Weeks, Andrew. German mysticism. Albany, New York: SUNY Press, 1993. ~~ After work on Jacob Boehme, Weeks provides solid treatment of mysticism through about 800 years of German history. Weeks is an historian, and as such contextualizes mysticism in the political, social, and intellectual worlds very well.

Woods, Richard, ed. Understanding mysticism. New York: Image Books, 1980. ~~ A very good collection of essays on mysticism, from a variety of points of view and disciplinary commitments.

Zaehner, R. C. Mysticism: Sacred and profane. London: Oxford, 1961. ~~ Zaehner argues for a difference between theistic and monistic (nature) mysticism, the latter of which is induced by (among other things) drugs.

Liberal Hawk

The term liberal hawk refers to an individual generally described as politically liberal who supports a hawkish foreign policy, as opposed to a foreign policy of not using force to intervene with conflicts around the world. Past U.S. presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman,John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson have been described as liberal hawks for their roles in bringing about America's status as the world's premier military power. The Clinton Doctrine can also be considered as consistent with this vision. Modernly the term is most frequently used to describe liberals and leftists who supported or still support the decision to invade Iraq in 2003, which was authorized by the United States Congress and ordered by a conservative president, George W. Bush. The war has stirred heated controversy among all political sides of the debate. The consensus among the left reaches very little disagreement about the latter. However, the left was divided over the issue of whether going to war in Iraq was the right decision, as some liberals felt that they should support the war, in accordance with the philosophy of liberal internationalism, which had caused them to support military intervention in the past.

One document often cited as promoting a liberal hawkish point of view is Progressive Internationalism: A Democratic National Security Strategy, published by the Progressive Policy Institute in October 2003. Another document related to this philosophy is a letter to President Bush] sent by Social Democrats USA in February 2003, urging the military overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime.

In January 2004, Berman, Friedman, Hitchens, Packer, Pollack, Weisberg and Zakaria participated, along with Fred Kaplan, in a five-day online forum entitled Liberal Hawks Reconsider the Iraq War, in which they discussed whether they had been correct in advocating military action against Saddam Hussein's regime. Kaplan by that point had renounced his prior support, but the general consensus among the participants was that, despite the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the war had still been justified on humanitarian grounds.

In his book The Good Fight, published in 2006, Beinart renounced his prior support for the Iraq War, saying, "I was too quick to give up on containment, too quick to think time was on Saddam's side."

The Clash of Civilizations

The Clash of Civilizations is a theory, proposed by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post-Cold Warworld.

The theory was originally formulated in a 1992 lecture at the American Enterprise Institute, which was then developed in a 1993 Foreign Affairs article titled "The Clash of Civilizations?",in response to Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. Huntington later expanded his thesis in a 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.

The term itself was first used by Bernard Lewis in an article in the September 1990 issue of The Atlantic Monthly titled The Roots of Muslim Rage.

Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami introduced the idea of Dialogue Among Civilizationsas a response to the theory of Clash of Civilizations. The term "Dialogue among Civilizations" became more known after the United Nations adopted a resolution to name the year 2001 as the year of Dialogue among Civilizations.

Γνώση : αυτό που μπορούμε να επαληθεύσουμε με πείραμα.
Είναι η επιτομή των τεχνών και των επιστημών.
Είναι η μορφή των πραγμάτων.
Είναι η επιστήμη της Ύλης.

Σοφία : αφορά την ουσία των πραγμάτων.
Είναι η ενορατική σύλληψη της αλήθειας.
Είναι η επιστήμη του Πνεύματος.

Μύηση : κάνω μία αρχή ή εισέρχομαι σε κάτι.
Εισέρχομαι σε μιά νέα φάση αυτής της ζωής ή
εισέρχομαι στην Πνευματική Ζωή.
Διευρύνω τη συνείδηση μου.

Πυθαγόρειος Ηθική

Η Παρόρμηση για τη Γνώση

Η παρόρμηση για τη Γνώση οδηγεί στην Απόφαση για την απόκτηση της Πρώτης Γνώσης και την είσοδο στην Ατραπό.

Το επίπεδο της Συνείδησης που έχει επιτευχθεί μέχρι την είσοδο στην Ατραπό,χρησιμοποιείται για περαιτέρω πραγματοποιήσεις.

Η αντίληψη και η κατανόηση των δυσκολιών που εμποδίζουν την αληθινή γνώση και την πνευματική
άνοδο,οδηγεί στην εξουδετέρωσης τους.

Η ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΙΑ ΓΕΝΝΗΘΗΚΕ
από την ανάγκη του ανθρώπου να βάλει τάξη στον κόσμο που τον περιτριγυρίζει και ΝΑ ΟΡΙΣΕΙ ΤΗ ΔΙΚΗ ΤΟΥ ΘΕΣΗ μέσα σ'συτόν.

Η ΔΙΑΝΟΗΤΙΚΗ ΕΡΓΑΣΙΑ
είναι μία ακοίμητη περιέργεια,μία δίψα να εξετάσει και να μάθει.
Ο ΝΟΥΣ
έχει την ικανότητα να δουλεύει πιο πέρα απ'τις εντυπώσεις που προμηθεύουν τα αισθητήρια όργανα,να τις συγκρίνει,να βρίσκει ομοιότητες ή σχέσεις ανάμεσα τους,να τις χωρίζει σε ομάδες.Βρίσκει τα κρυμμένα,δηλαδή,τα αίτια και τ'αποτελέσματα.

The Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux

his tiny illuminated manuscript was made between 1324 and 1328 for Jeanne d'Evreux, queen of France, who died in 1371. (You can see her on the left, reading, as she kneels in the archway.) It is almost certain that her husband, King Charles IV (1294–1328), commissioned the book from the artist Jean Pucelle. A Book of Hours such as this contains prayers to be recited eight times each day, mimicking the long-established practice of monks and nuns. This manuscript contains two different cycles of prayers, or offices; one set is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the other to Louis IX, the sainted king of France (1214–1270) and Jeanne d'Evreux's great-grandfather. The offices are composed around the Psalms of King David, and include hymns, standard prayers, and special lessons about the life of Saint Louis, with the Penitential Psalms at the end. In addition, a calendar is inserted at the beginning of the book.

Duncan's Ritual

This book presents details of Masonic initiation rituals, along with grips, passwords and regalia. Written in the 19th century, Duncan's Ritual, as it is known, has been republished numerous times. It includes the three basic degrees of the Ancient York Rite, and four additional advanced degrees. There are over a hundred illustrations, all reproduced here, which show important details of the rituals, including gestures and symbolic pictures. Duncan's Ritual is careful to note known variations where they exist. This book will be of interest to beginning Masons who want a roadmap of the craft, as well as experienced Masons who need a review.

The Qabalistic and Thelemic Works of Frater Achad

The lamen of Frater Achad

The complete published works of Frater Achad, the magical motto of Charles Stansfield Jones, cabalist extraordinaire.

Charles Stansfeld Jones (1886-1950) was an early aspirant to A∴A∴ (the 20th to be admitted as a Probationer, in December 1909) who “claimed” the grade of Magister Templi as a Neophyte. He also became an O.T.O. initiate, serving as the principal organizer for that order in British Columbia. He worked under a variety of mottos and mantonyms, including V.I.O. (Unus in Omnibus, “One in All,” as an A∴A∴ Probationer), O.I.V.V.I.O., V.I.O.O.I.V., Parzival (as an Adeptus Minor and O.T.O. Ninth Degree), and Tantalus Leucocephalus (as Tenth Degree O.T.O.), but he is best known under his Neophyte motto Achad (Hebr. “unity”), which he used as a byline in his various published writings.
— From “Charles Stansfield Jones” on Thelemapedia

Modern forms of Esoteric Christianity

Many modern Esoteric Christian movements admit reincarnation among their beliefs, as well as a complex energetic structure for the human being (such as etheric body, astral body,mental body and causal body). These movements point out the need of an inner spiritual work which will lead to the renewal of the human person according to the Pauline sense. Max Heindel and Rudolf Steiner gave several spiritual exercises in their writings to help the evolution of the follower. In the same direction are Tommaso Palamidessi's writings, which aim at developing ascetic techniques and meditations. According to all of these esoteric scholars, the ensemble of these techniques (often related with Eastern meditation practices such aschakra meditation or visualization) will lead to salvation and to the total renewal of the human being. This process usually implies the constitution of a spiritual body apt to the experience ofresurrection (and therefore called, in Christian terms, resurrection body).^[21]^[22]^[23] Some Esoteric Christians today also incorporate New Age and traditional "magical" practices in their beliefs, such as Qabalah, theurgy, goetia, alchemy, astrology, and hermetism.

Esoteric Buddhism

Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (18th Degree) of Freemasonry

"There can be no question of the intimate Christian character and design of the Degree (...) In the Rites and Ceremonies of this Degree, we have presented a Third Temple, successor to both the Temple of King Solomon and to the Temple of Zerubbabel -- the spiritual Temple, the building of which is the ultimate objective of Freemasonry. The Wisdom, Strength, Beauty which supported the ancient Temple are replaced by the Christian pillars of Faith, Hope and Charity; the great Lights remain, for they are not only the essence of Freemasonry, but also fundamentals in their symbolic truths and in the realities of some in the building of true character; the three lesser lights give way to thirty-three, which to most interpreters represent the thirty-three years of the Messiah's sojourn on the earth."

"then as "PHREE MESSEN" or children of light they are instructed in methods of building a new temple without sound of hammer, and when the spirit realizes that it is far from its heavenly home, a prodigal, feeding upon the unsatisfactory husks of the material world, that apart from the Father it is "POOR, NAKED AND BLIND," when it knocks at the door of a mystic temple like that of the Rosicrucians and asks for light, when it receives the desired instruction after due qualification by building and ethereal soul-body, a temple or house eternal in the heavens, not made with hands, and without sound of hammer, when its nakedness is clothed with that house (see Cor. 4.5,) then the neophyte receives "THE WORD," the open sesame to the inner worlds and learns to travel in foreign parts in the invisible worlds. There he takes soul-flights into heavenly region and qualifies for higher degrees under more direct instruction from THE GRAND ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE, who fashioned both heaven and earth. (...) There are 3x3 degrees in the lesser Mysteries; when the candidate has passed the 9th Arch [18/33], he is in the Holy of Holies, which forms the gate to greater fields beyond the scope of Masonry."

The first true mystery story is considered to be The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe (1841) then there follows The Woman in White (1860) by Wilkie Collins. Collins wrote several more in this genre, including The Moonstone (1868) which is thought to be his masterpiece. The genre began to expand near the turn of century with the development of dime novels and pulp magazines. Books were especially helpful to the genre with many authors writing in the genre in the 1920s. An important contribution to mystery fiction in the 1920s was the development of the juvenile mystery by Edward Stratemeyer. Stratemeyer originally developed and wrote the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries written under the Franklin W. Dixon andCarolyn Keene pseudonyms, respectively (and later written by his daughter, Harriet S. Adams, and other authors). The 1920s also gave rise to one of the most popular mystery authors of all time, Agatha Christie. Christie's books are numerous, though her literary reputation has suffered.

The massive popularity of pulp magazines in the 1930s and 1940s only increased the interest in mystery fiction. Pulp magazines decreased in popularity in the 1950s with the rise of television so much that the numerous titles available then are reduced to two today (and those are Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine). The Detective fiction author Ellery Queen (pseudonym of authors Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee) is also credited with the continued interest in mystery fiction thanks to the namesake magazine which began in 1941.

Interest in mystery fiction continues to this day thanks to various television shows which have used mystery themes over the years and the many juvenile and adult novels which continue to be published and frequent the best seller lists. Also, there is some overlap with "thriller" or "suspense" novels and authors in those genres may consider themselves mystery novelists.

An organization for the authors of mystery, detective, and crime fiction was begun in 1945, called theMystery Writers of America.

Psychological warfare (PSYWAR), or the basic aspects of modern psychological operations (PSYOP, PSYOPS), have been known by many other names or terms, including Psy Ops, Political Warfare, “Hearts and Minds,” and evenPropaganda.[1] Various techniques are used, by any set of groups, and aimed to influence a target audience's valuesystems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, or behavior. It is used to induce confessions or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives, and are sometimes combined with black operations or false flagtactics. Target audiences can be governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.

The U.S. Department of Defense defines psychological warfare as:

"The planned use of propaganda and other psychological actions having the primary purpose of influencing the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of hostile foreign groups in such a way as to support the achievement of national objectives."

During World War II the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff defined psychological warfare more broadly stating "Psychological warfare employs any weapon to influence the mind of the enemy. The weapons are psychological only in the effect they produce and not because of the weapons themselves."

The philosophy of mathematics is the branch of philosophy that studies the philosophical assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics. The aim of the philosophy of mathematics is to provide an account of the nature and methodology of mathematics and to understand the place of mathematics in people's lives. The logical and structural nature of mathematics itself makes this study both broad and unique among its philosophical counterparts.
Recurrent themes include:
What are the sources of mathematical subject matter?
What is the ontological status of mathematical entities?
What does it mean to refer to a mathematical object?
What is the character of a mathematical proposition?
What is the relation between logic and mathematics?
What is the role of hermeneutics in mathematics?
What kinds of inquiry play a role in mathematics?
What are the objectives of mathematical inquiry?
What gives mathematics its hold on experience?
What are the human traits behind mathematics?
What is mathematical beauty?
What is the source and nature of mathematical truth?
What is the relationship between the abstract world of mathematics and the material universe?
Is math an absolute and universal language?
The terms philosophy of mathematics and mathematical philosophy are frequently used as synonyms.The latter, however, may be used to mean at least three other things. One sense refers to a project of formalising a philosophical subject matter, say, aesthetics, ethics, logic, metaphysics, or theology, in a purportedly more exact and rigorous form, as for example the labours of Scholastic theologians, or the systematic aims of Leibniz and Spinoza. Another sense refers to the working philosophy of an individual practitioner or a like-minded community of practicing mathematicians. Additionally, some understand the term mathematical philosophy to be an allusion to the approach taken by Bertrand Russell in his book Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy.

ONOURIS

Greek name for the god Iniheret, 'He who has brought the far-off one', a name that refers to a late interpretation of certain myths. They tell how the eye of the sky god or sun god abandoned its owner and was then brought back by Onuris. This myth was merged with a similar story in which Onuris brings back the lioness Mehyt from the desert; together these two were long worshipped in This in the nome of Abydos. The Eye of Re was also regarded as a lioness and was then called Sakhmet, but could also be identified with Mehyt. Onuris was a hunter and warrior, who not only destroyed Egypt's enemies, but also those of the gods, such as Apophis. His weapons were a spear and a lasso. Texts from the New Kingdom call Onuris 'the god of gods', 'the king of the sky' and 'he who created himself', thus turning him into a creator and sun god. Onuris also formed associations with other gods in the pantheon, for example he was worshipped as Onuris-Shu. In another version of the story, it was Shu who brought back the Eye, this time as the goddess Tefnut, who in turn could be depicted as a lioness. The myths about the Eye gave Onuris some of the characteristics of Thoth, who healed the Eye of Horus. Onuris was also connected with the war god Montu, perhaps because he was also linked with yet another god, Horus ('with the strong arm'). Because of his characteristics as a fighter, the Greeks identified him with Ares. Representations show the god in human form, usually with a spear and a rope. Occasionally he has the head of a falcon. On his head are four tall feathers. The first evidence for a cult of Onuris comes from the Abydos region. In the Late Period, Nectanebo II built or rebuilt a temple of Onuris-Shu in Sebennytos in the Delta.

ΘΕΜΕΛΙΟΙ ΛΙΘΟΙ - ΣΤΟΧΟΙ ΠΡΟΣ ΕΠΙΤΕΥΞΗ

Η Ισορροπία συναντά τη δημιουργικότητα,που είναι μία ανάγκη επενέργειας πάνω σε ανθρώπους και αγαθά,επiδίωξης σχεδίων με σκοπό τη δημιουργία ενός ήρεμου περιβάλλοντος όπου όλοι θα αισθανόμαστε καλά.

Η Ισορροπία θέτει ως αξία την συμπληρωματικότητα των δύο φύλων,που πρέπει να δουλέψουν μαζί,ο καθένας με βάσει τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά του :
ο άνδρας ο εκ φύσεως ισχυρός,αλλά συναισθηματικά ασταθής,και περισσότερο ευάλωτος στην τραγωδία,ενώ,
η γυναίκα,σωματικά αδυνατώτερη,αλλά πιο ισορροπημένη ψυχολογικά και λιγώτερο ευάλωτη.
Μέσα από μία σχέση Ισορροπημένης Δύναμης δεν παράγονται σύγκρούσεις.
Αυτή η ανάγκη δράσης επιτρέπει την αποφυγή ανίας,
σημαντικής πηγής προβλημάτων.

Η Αυτονομία σταθεροποιεί τη Συναισθηματική Ισορροπία :
μεγαλύτερη εμπιστοσύνη στον εαυτό,
αυτοσεβασμός που επιτρέπει τη θαρραλέα αντιμετώπιση των πιο σύνθετων προκλήσεων και των πιο μεγάλων δυσκολιών.

Η Γαλήνη είναι εσωτερική ειρήνη,εμπιστοσύνη στη ζωή :
σε πολύ στενή σχέση με τις δυνάμεις της φύσης.
Δεν είναι απαραίτητη η ερμηνεία και ο έλεγχος των πάντων : αποδέχομαι τις δυσκολίες και αφήνομαι να κατευθυνθώ από τη ζωή.
Δεν παλεύω ενάντια στη ζωή,δεν αγχώνομαι.
Αποδέχομαι και προχωρώ.
Ασχολούμαι με την ουσία,δεν αφήνω να με αγγίξουν οι λεπτομέρειες.

ΕΝΣΩΜΑΤΩΝΟΜΑΙ ΣΤΟ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝ,
ΔΕΝ ΕΠΙΔΙΩΚΩ ΝΑ ΕΠΙΚΡΑΤΗΣΩ ΣΤΗ ΦΥΣΗ.

Η ικανότητα να αντλήσω από τη φύση την υπόσταση μου συμβάλλει στη σφυρηλάτηση της εμπιστοσύνης στον εαυτό μου και στη ζωή.
Αυτή η στάση εξαλείφει την επιθετικότητα και τη νευρικότητα.

Η Εμπιστοσύνη,που είναι ουσιώδης για να διατηρούν οι άνθρωποι ΕΙΛΙΚΡΙΝΕΙΣ ΣΧΕΣΕΙΣ,εξαφανίζεται εξαιτίας του νοσηρού ανταγωνισμού που διεισδύει παντού :
ο δόλος,η υποκρισία γίνονται συμπεριφορές της ύπαρξης,που μετατρέπουν την εμπιστοσύνη σε ελάττωμα.
Μαζί με την έλλειψη εμπιστοσύνης στους ανθρώπους εμφανίζεται η ΜΟΝΑΞΙΑ,δηλαδή το ΑΝΤΙΘΕΤΟ της ΑΛΛΗΛΕΓΓΥΗΣ.

Η Γαλήνη πολλαπλασιάζει τη δύναμη μου,που,
νικώντας το φόβο και την αμφιβολία,παραμένω ήρεμος.
Ακόμη κι όταν οι καταστάσεις είναι ενάντιες,
βρίσκομαι υπεράνω των φυσικών δυσκολιών και πόνων.
Η βεβαιότητα των δυσκολιών και του πόνου μου επιτρέπει να παρηγορώ τους πιο αδύναμους και αποπροσανατολισμένους : ο καρπός της αυτονομίας αποτελεί εξίσου πηγή ψυχολογικής ισορροπίας.
Μ'αυτή την έννοια η Γαλήνη λειτουργεί ταυτόχρονα ως καρπός της αυτονομίας και πηγή δύναμης.

Η Αλληλεγγύη αποτελεί σχεδόν θρησκεία :
η αλληλοβοήθεια είναι ο πρώτος μας κανόνας.
Η Αλληλεγγύη εκφράζει ένα σκοπό :
τη ΣΥΜΒΙΩΣΗ και τη ΣΥΜΦΩΝΙΑ που βρίσκεται στο κέντρο της ύπαρξης μας.
Η Αλληλεγγύη για εμάς εγκλείει την αμοιβαία και χωρίς όρους υποστήριξη προς όλους,αυξάνοντας την αποτελεσματικότητα τους,χωρίς να δημιουργούμε ανταγωνισμούς.
Χαλαρώνουμε όταν περιτριγυριζόμαστε από συνανθρώπους,
δεν αποκτούμε τον αυτοσεβασμό μας παρά μόνο μέσω της επιδοκιμασίας του δίπλα μας κι ο πόνος κι οι δυσκολίες δεν έχει νόημα παρά μόνο σε σχέση με τους άλλους.
Αυτή η άρνηση της αντιμετώπισης της ζωής με τρόπο ατομικιστικό ανταποκρίνεται σε μιά οργάνωση όπου
ΚΑΘΕΝΑΣ ΕΥΘΥΝΕΤΑΙ ΓΙΑ ΤΟΝ ΑΛΛΟ,
όπου οι άνθρωποι είναι ολιγάριθμοι,επομένως ΠΟΛΥΤΙΜΟΙ.
Η Δύναμη του Χαρακτήρα μας προέρχεται απ'την ευθύνη της φροντίδας των άλλων.
Στην Αλληλεγγύη,η Αλληλοβοήθεια και το Μοίρασμα αντιτίθενται στον Εγω'ι'σμό και στον άκρατο Ατομικισμό.
Δεν εγκαταλείπω τους ανάπηρους γονείς μου σε ανώνυμα ιδρύματα ή σε ξενόφερτες ψευτο-γηροκόμες,ούτε τα πεταμένα στο δρόμο ή χτυπημένα ζώα,για να είμαι ελεύθερος να ζήσω τη ζωή μου.
Καλός ο Ουρανός,ας φτιάξω όμως πρώτα αυτά που είναι κοντά μου,δίπλα μου.Ας γίνω Αβατάρα αργότερα ή ας επιβραδύνω τη πνευματική μου εξέλιξη έστω και λίγο.
Αυτή η εικόνα ανακαλεί την αιώνια νεότητα μας,τις παιδικές μας κατασκηνώσεις,ως πεδίο προνομιακής άσκησης αυτής της αξίας : των αληθινών και αγνών ανθρωπίνων σχέσεων.

ΑΡΓΟΙ ΣΤΗ ΛΗΨΗ ΑΠΟΦΑΣΕΩΝ :
Η λήψη μιάς απόφασης σημαίνει,κατά κάποιο τρόπο,εμπλοκή στη ζωή των άλλων,που και θα υποστούν τις συνέπειες.
Σε περίπτωση διαφωνίας είναι το καλύτερο να περιμένω.
Περιμένω και συνήθως τα αποτελέσματα αποβαίνουν καθοριστικά.
Η ανάγκη ανοίγματος και κοινής συμφωνίας,που παρεμποδίζει την ταχεία λήψη αποφάσεων,αντιτίθεται στο δόλο,στον υπολογισμό και στην υποκρισία.

ΠΑΘΗΤΙΚΟΤΗΤΑ :
Δεν αντιδρώ στην πρόκληση με αντιπαράθεση.
Πιστεύω ότι μόνο οι δυστυχισμένοι άνθρωποι μπορούν να προκαλέσουν.
Πιστεύω ότι είναι καλύτερο να τους προσφέρω οτιδήποτε θέλουν.
Η αντιπαράθεση οδηγεί στο μίσος και στην απώλεια της Γαλήνης.
Η Παθητικότητα αντιπαρατίθεται στην Επιθετικότητα.

ΣΥΝΘΕΤΟΤΗΤΑ :
Οικονομία των λόγων.
Δεν μιλώ χωρίς λόγο.
Επιζητώ να φθάσω κατευθείαν στο ουσιώδες,
χωρίς να σταθώ σε λεπτομέρειες.
Αυτό μου επιτρέπει να έρχομαι σ'επαφή με μιά ΠΡΟΟΠΤΙΚΗ του ΣΥΝΟΛΟΥ που οδηγεί στη Γαλήνη : δηλαδή,
ΟΛΙΣΤΙΚΗ ΣΥΛΛΗΨΗ των καταστάσεων.
Η επικέντρωση στις λεπτομέρειες οδηγεί στη μη συνειδητοποίηση των αποτελεσμάτων της πράξης και προκαλεί παρεξηγήσεις ή απώλεια της ουσίας της συζήτησης.
Η αναλυτική σκέψη χάνεται σε λεπτομέρειες και χάνει τον τελικό στόχο της προσπάθειας.

Μ'ΑΥΤΕΣ ΤΙΣ ΑΝΑΠΑΡΑΣΤΑΣΕΙΣ ΟΛΟΚΛΗΡΩΝΕΤΑΙ ΤΟ ΠΟΡΤΡΑΙΤΟ ΤΗΣ ΔΙΚΗΣ ΜΑΣ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑΣ,
ΜΙΑΣ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑΣ ΣΤΑΘΕΡΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΥΤΟΡΥΘΜΙΖΟΜΕΝΗΣ,

Cosmopolitanism is the ideology that all human ethnic groups belong to a single community based on a shared morality. This is contrasted withcommunitarian and particularistic theories, especially the ideas of patriotism and nationalism.Cosmopolitanism may entail some sort of world government or it may simply refer to more inclusive moral, economic, and/or political relationships between nations or individuals of different nations. A person who adheres to the idea of cosmopolitanism in any of its forms is called cosmopolitan.
The cosmopolitan community might be based on an inclusive morality, a shared economic relationship, or a political structure that encompasses different nations. In its more positive versions, the cosmopolitan community is one in which individuals from different places (e.g nation-states) form relationships of mutual respect. As an example, Kwame Anthony Appiah suggests the possibility of a cosmopolitan community in which individuals from varying locations (physical, economic, etc.) enter relationships of mutual respect despite their differing beliefs (religious, political, etc.).
The word derives from Greek cosmos Κόσμος (the Universe) and polis Πόλις (city).
