Spiritual Philosophy

In Habits of the Mind, James Sire challenges you to avoid one of the greatest pitfalls of intellectual life by resisting the temptation to separate being from knowing. He shows you how to cultivate intellectual virtues and disciplines—habits of mind—that will strengthen you in pursuit of your calling. And he offers assurance that intellectual life can be a true calling for Christians: because Jesus was the smartest man who ever lived, Sire argues, you can and should accept the challenge to think as well as you are able.

Knowledge of God in the World and the Word is a clear and succinct introduction to classical Christian apologetics that also addresses the most common objections to natural theology. Amid the crisis of authority in our modern and postmodern era, Christians need to be able to point to God's revelation in the natural world in addition to defending God's unique revelation in the Bible and in the person of Jesus Christ.

In this second volume of the Called Out of Darkness trilogy, Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., draws together some of the best advice given by Catholic spiritual masters across the ages and brings it into harmony with modern scientific research, offering practical ways to live out the gospel in our busy days. It is a road map to a deeper relationship with the Lord and to authentic transformation through the imitation of Christ. Giving evidence that Jesus established just one Church, with Peter as its head, Spitzer shows that the Catholic Church continues to be fertile ground for conversion.

The most important work of the devotio moderna movement, Thomas à Kempis’s classic, The Imitation of Christ, is saturated with Scripture and classical philosophy and reveals a deep understanding of human nature.

This remarkable essay (now in a small colored booklet) describes how John Wren-Lewis had a remarkable spiritual awakening without any expectation or effort. Reveals in a nutshell how he achieved what yogis and mystics spend a lifetime trying to achieve. Rational, clear, and devoid of any pretensions. First published in David Lane's Understanding Cults and Spiritual Movements Journal back in the mid-1980s, shortly after John had his mystical transformation.

While listening to one particular recording, things beyond my ability to describe occurred within my consciousness. It seemed as though I was viewing an ever-opening lotus flower with an infinite number of petals, and life itself opened to me with an unending variety of pictures or images - until I was transcending all that I had ever dreamed, into that which I had never dared to dream and still beyond, until I could understand no more but knew there was more when I was ready.

Bhakti (love for the Beloved) is the highest pinnacle of any spiritual endeavor. Unlike other paths, it is a wholly selfless path in which the practitioner is unconcerned with personal gain or spiritual goals. The goal is simply to love God. In this path, one experiences the bliss of the divine from the very outset. As Ramakrishna says, God’s devotees are invited into the living room of God’s heart from the very beginning, while others have to wait outside until the very end. Bhakti is the simplest, easiest, most satisfying and most expedient path to the divine.

Asian spiritual practices, from yoga and tai chi to qigong and mindfulness meditations, permeate our culture. But these practices are often casually used in the West, and sometimes little understood. As informative as it is inviting, A Lamp unto Yourself introduces “spiritual explorers” of all experience levels to embodied Eastern spiritual practices.

Un meraviglioso testo di Raymond Charles Barker, uno dei maestri del Nuovo Pensiero, che illustra come funziona la mente, come attivare il suo potere per creare la vita che si desidera. Un audiolibro che mostra che in ogni uomo esiste una parte divina innata che attende solo di essere (ri)conosciuta, che è parte della Mente Infinita che tutto genera. Con questa consapevolezza, Barker propone un metodo tanto semplice quanto efficace per entrare in connessione con la parte divina di noi stessi, per lasciarci ispirare da essa e da essa creare le migliori condizioni per la nostra vita.

In Soul Affirmation, Robert W. Emerick introduces a new, vital understanding of one’s soul, and explains its powerful influence as an integral part of our “self” and our society.

In questo scritto, del 1913, vengono date in forma riassunta descrizioni di quelle parti del mondo e dell'essere umano che compaiono alla coscienza chiaroveggente. È certamente uno scritto molto meno approfondito dei due, "Teosofia" e "Scienza Occulta", che l'hanno preceduto, ma è, come tutti gli scritti di Steiner, leggibile per sé, senza aver letto i precedenti, ed è decisamente molto fruibile per la sua concisione e chiarezza.

We are all dwellers in two kingdoms, the inner kingdom, the kingdom of the mind and spirit, and the outer kingdom, that of the body and the physical universe about us. To strike the right balance in life is one of the supreme essentials of all successful living. We must work, for we must have bread. There are moments in the lives of all of us when we catch glimpses of a life—our life—that is infinitely beyond the life we are now living. We realize that we are living below our possibilities. We long for the realization of the life that we feel should be.
