The Roman Mithras Cult
Author: Olympia Panagiotidou
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472567404
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The Roman Mithras Cult: A Cognitive Approach is the first full cognitive history of an ancient religion. In this groundbreaking book on one of the most intriguing and mysterious ancient religions, Roger Beck and Olympia Panagiotidou show how cognitive historiography can supplement our historical knowledge and deepen our understanding of past cultural phenomenon. The cult of the sun god Mithras, which spread widely across the Greco-Roman world at the same time as other 'mystery cults' and Christianity, offered to its devotees certain images and assumptions about reality. Initiation into the mysteries of Mithras and participation in the life of the cult significantly affected and transformed the ways in which the initiated perceived themselves, the world, and their position within it. The cult's major ideas were conveyed mainly through its major symbolic complexes. The ancient written testimonies and other records are not adequate to establish a definitive reconstruction of Mithraic theologies and the meaning of its complex symbolic structures. Filling this gap, The Roman Mithras Cult: A Cognitive Approach identifies the cognitive and psychological processes which took place in the minds and bodies of the Mithraists during their initiation and participation in the mysteries, enabling the perception, apprehension, and integration of the essential images and assumptions of the cult in its worldview system.

The Souls Awakening
Author: Rudolf Steiner
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412050057
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The fourth drama enters new terrain based on what has been achieved in the first three dramas. The end of those brought about the unifying of the various main characters in a Temple ceremony whereby they consecrated themselves to take over the work of the traditional Mystics for modern times. Up until this point, the dramas had been concerned with personal development, the achieving of spiritual vision, the beholding and integrating of a correct view of Karma. But now the step has to be taken to bring all this into a concrete relationship with the modern world. The task of the Mystics had been to preserve in secret the mysteries of humanity. The task of the new Temple servants is to bring those mysteries to humanity again and make them fruitful in the modern world. This requires, on the one hand, a willingness to approach the elements of the world and interact with them, and on the other, the cultivating of an inner knowledge which will give one the new faculties and strength to do that. The essential question thus arising for all of them, illustrated by the greatly increased role Benedictus plays in this fourth drama, is the question of spiritual help and from where and under what conditions it can come to us. Not only Lucifer and Ahriman are here operating for their own intersts, good human beings and good spiritual beings are working, too, and who these are, where these are, and what relation we can have to them is a matter of the greatest urgency for humanity at this time.

The Mirror of Simple Souls
Author: Margaret Porette
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268161518
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
When Dr. Romana Guarnieri, in a letter to Osservatore Romano (16 June 1946), announced her discovery that Margaret Porette (d. 1 June 1310) was the author of The Mirror of Simple Souls, certainly a major French document of pre-Reformation spirituality, a sensation was created in the academic world. Although The Mirror is one of the few heretical documents to have survived the Middle Ages in its entirety, both its title and its authorship were among the most persistent and troublesome problems of scholarly research in the field of medieval vernacular languages. The Mirror, in its original French, survives only in the fifteenth-century manuscript which the great Condé (Louis II de Bourbon) had acquired for his palace at Chantilly. And, so far as can be known, all that remains with which to compare the readings of this manuscript text are those translations of The Mirror which, also in manuscript, are to be found in Latin, Italian, and Middle English. This edition of The Mirror of Simple Souls is a translation from the French original with interpretive essays by Edmund Colledge, O.S.A., Judith Grant, and J.C. Marler, and a foreword by Kent Emery, Jr. The translators of this Modern English version rely primarily on the French, yet take other medieval translations into account. As a result, this edition offers a reading of The Mirror which solves a number of difficulties found in the French, and the introductions contributed by the translators narrate the archival history of the book, for which Margaret Porette was burned alive in Paris in 1310.

Book Description
Gran is gone and now I’m bound to the will of this spellbook, the legacy of my family passed to me. My first calling after her loss brought me here, to another world. The man who summoned me here says we are promised to each other, that our families agreed to our union. I don’t remember that. Vague memories of our childhood friendship are all my mind can conjure. There’s much I don’t remember about the time he says I spent here, with him, with his family. He says we had feelings for each other, that he still wants to marry me. Twelve years ago, that’s when this agreement was set. I’ve agreed to aid him in his quest to undo a curse upon his family. It’s a distraction from my growing affection for him. Marriage and family were never part of my goals Go it solo, see the world, live in the moment, that was the plan. He’s turning that all upside down with every glance, every touch. If I give in, I'm stuck here, my plans go up in smoke, but the longer I'm with him the more I wonder if that's such a bad thing. The Ring of Souls is a steamy fantasy romance with adult themes and situations. There is sex on page, some violence including one scene of sexual violence.
