By setting traditions and thinkers such as Zoroaster, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Gautama Buddha, Confucius, Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle side by side, we are able to see more clearly the questions with which they struggled, their similarities and differences, and how their ideas have influenced religious thought down to our day.
The profound influence of Confucius across the ages--his teachings of personal and government morality, justice, and appropriateness in social relationships--is the subject of this unique history.
Over two decades ago, beloved and respected rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi felt an uneasiness. He was growing older, and fears about death and infirmity were haunting him. So he decided to embark on mission to get to the bottom of his fears. Through a series of events that included a vision quest in a secluded cabin and studying with Sufi masters, Buddhist teachers and Native-American shamans, Reb Zalman found a way to turn aging into the most meangful and joyous time in his life. In this inspiring and informative guide, Reb Zalman shares his wisdom and experience with readers. He shows readers how to create an aging process for themselves that is full of adventure, passion, mystery, and fulfillment, rather than anxiety. Using scientific research--both neurological and psychological-- Reb Zalman offers techniques that will expand horizons beyond the narrow view of "the present" into a grand and enduring eternity. By harnessing the power of the spirit, as well as explaining exactly how to become a sage in their own community, he gives readers a helpful and moving way to use their own experiences to nurture, heal, and perhaps even save a younger generation from the prison of how we typically regard aging. In this updated version of his popular book, Reb Zalman has added a brand new introductory chapter that provides insight into the shifts that have taken place in our culture since the first edition of this book came out in the 1990s. Reb Zalman speaks candidly about the role the 78 million (now aging) Baby Boomers are currently playing in how we think about aging. He provides new inspiring ideas about the importance of an elder's role in shaping society, and explains how elders can embrace the power they have to provide value and wisdom to those around them. Additionally he has added a concluding chapter in which he shares his own experience with aging and the time he calls "The December Years."
Alphonse Louis Constant (1810-75), A.K.A. Éliphas Lévi, a seminary dropout, mixed in socialist circles and wrote several radical political books that led to prison sentences. In the 1850s he devoted his time to the study and promulgation of occult doctrine: especially magic and Kabbalah. His writings were seminal for occultists including Papus, A. E. Waite, and Aleister Crowley.In 'The Book of Sages', one of Lévi's last writings, he formulates his beliefs clearly and accessibly. His literary range is on display as he portrays himself in a series of short, rich fictional dialogues with representatives of "the whole religious and philosophical polemic of the present age": a reactionary Catholic apologist, a priest, a philosopher, a pantheist, a Jew, a Protestant, a doctor, a scientist, a spiritualist, and finally an esotericist like himself. He highlights his differences and agreements, often surprising, with each of these worldviews. In the second half of the book Lévi formulates his doctrine in a series of short topical chapters with enumerated aphorisms. These touch on religion, morality, nature, (animal) magnetism, death, Satan, occultism, faith, science, and other subjects.His stated purpose being to "reconcile science and dogma, authority and freedom, reason and faith", Lévi's writings are a response to Enlightenment modernity, to the clash of science and faith. He doesn't want to go back to medieval simplicity, but to progress forward: his writings anticipate a global, universal, rational, and hierarchical religion that will repair the spiritual emptiness of modern scientific humanity.This is the first English translation of this book.
