Hohm Press,U.S. Sweet Lunacy: Divine Intoxication in Sufi
Book SynopsisDivine Intoxication is a common theme in Middle Eastern poetry. The wine on which the seeker becomes drunk is nothing less than the nectar of love. Such inebriation, however, often produces unconventional behaviour, even hints of madness, marking the lover as one apparently lost to the ordinary world. In this mood, Kahlil Gibran wrote: Only an idiot and a genius break man-made laws and they are the nearest to the heart of God. And so, the poetry written by or about these drunkards is often saturated with perennial wisdom, with stark reflections of the truth (in vino veritas), and with a variety of prayerful longing that is found throughout all mystical traditions.SWEET LUNACY contains works by some of the most well-known mystical Sufi poets from the 11th through the 14th century, including Rumi, Attar, and Jami. But the reader will also meet lesser-known authors here whose messages, both unique and fresh, are equally inspiring. The poets in this collection are those who, for reasons which might not seem altogether reasonable to our everyday mind and logic, were willing and able to question this mystery called life and, unwilling to accept readymade answers. Vraje Abramian, born in Iran and a native speaker of Farsi, has worked to keep his translations as close to the meaning and cultural flavour of the originals as possible.

Monkfish Book Publishing Company The Mystery of Death: Awakening to Eternal Life
Book SynopsisWhat precisely happens at the time of death is a question that theologians have struggled over for centuries but have never answered satisfactorily. The response to this question that Ladislaus Boros gives in his monumental synthesis, The Mystery of Death, is that in death we meet Christ fully for the first time and in doing so attain to full consciousness and freedom. It is therefore only in the moment of death than humans are able to elect for or against their eternal salvation. In other words, death is a kind of judgment day, but it is we ourselves who pass judgment on ourselves. In her introduction and commentary, Cynthia Bourgeault argues passionately that Ladislaus Boros represents a necessary link to understanding the radical theology of Teilhard de Chardin. She presents Boros as a powerful potential bridgebuilder. Standing firmly on the shoulders of his celebrated Jesuit mentor Karl Rahner, and highly skilled in the scholastic discourse that Teilhard himself eschewed, he is able to mediate an illuminating dialogue between Teilhard and the greater Christian theological traditionnot, as is so often the case in so much of contemporary Teilhardian scholarship, by secularizing Teilhard's thought or draping it in current evolutionary jargon, but by piercing to the very marrow of Teilhard's Christic mysticism and carrying it to an even more brilliant degree of spiritual luminosity.

Stattdessen stellt sich das Verhältnis von Mystik und Protestantismus als eine Problemgeschichte dar. Phasen der Hochschätzung und solche der Ablehnung wechselten einander ab. Seit der Reformation gab es Männer und Frauen, die dem Mainstream des Protestantismus angehören, deren Glaube und Theologie mystisch geprägt waren. Martin Luthers (1453-1546) reformatorische Erkenntnis entsprang einer mystischen Erfahrung. Seine reformatorische Theologie war mystisch orientiert. Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608), Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) und Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-1760) verliehen in Liedern und Musik ihren mystischen Erfahrungen klassischen Ausdruck. Selbst Leben und Werk protestantischer Zeitgenossen aus dem 20. Jh. wie Dag Hammarskjöld (1905-1961), Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) und Dorothee Sölle (1929-2003) waren mehr oder weniger offensichtlich mystisch geprägt. Sölle bekannte sich klar zur Mystik als einer Angelegenheit nicht von wenigen, sondern von allen Menschen. Tatsächlich war protestantische Mystik von Anfang an keine Angelegenheit religiöser Eliten, sondern stand allen offen. Da die evangelischen Choräle mystisch geprägt waren und das Abendmahl mystisch verstanden wurde, bot gerade der lutherische Gottesdienst allen Christen Zugang zu mystischem Glauben.

Transcript Verlag The Discovery of Anxiousness: Philosophy and
Book SynopsisAre anxiety or dread negative stages before freedom, a confrontation with humans' own mortality and finitude? Joana Serrado inaugurates anxiousness as a category of mystical knowledge in this innovative historical and philosophical study. Based on the life and mystical writings of Joana de Jesus, a Cistercian nun, intellectual disciple of Teresa of Avila, this study shows the cultural embeddedness of anxiousness: a feeling akin to the Portuguese term ?saudade? (yearning, Sehnsucht). A mystical project that reshapes feminist principles of autonomy, agency and desire.

Gabriele-Verlag Das Wort GmbH This Is My Word Alpha and Omega
Book SynopsisA book of prophecy that teaches the truth about the life of Jesus directly from Christ, Himself via the prophetic word free of the Bible, theological opinions and interpretations. Jesus of Nazareth did not found a religion. He did not install any priests or pastors; nor did He teach dogmas, rituals or cults. 2000 years ago, He brought the truth from the Kingdom of God: The teaching of the love for God and neighbor toward people, nature and animals, the teaching of freedom, of peace and of unity. He spoke about the God of love, about the Free SpiritGod in us. Christ, the Co-Regent of the Kingdom of God, reveals in our time via the prophetess and emissary of God, Gabriele, the facts about His life and His works as Jesus of Nazareth. Learn the truth directly from Christ, Himselffree of theological opinions and interpretations. A reading sample:The one who considers matter to be the truth takes unlawful reflections as reality, because he lives in this illusionary light, in this world
