Book Description
"She is eerily cabalistic, a strangely esoteric embodiment of the ethereal, this Delphic Oracle of Oracles who is possessed with a knowledge of past, present and future that defies "reason" (as she so aptly identifies the problem with mankind). Take Nostradamus, Casey and mix with Edgar Allen Poe and you have the essence of this author." She has nurtured a dialogue with the OTHERES, inter-dimensional beings, who inform her writings. Among the most easily recognized mystic communications are riddles, parables, fables... it is woven in symbols, dreams, allegory, apocrypha, metaphor & psycho-speak. Mystic writers often speak of being in a trance, dream-state, altered-consciousness, or channeling god or other entities from beyond." MYSTICS, within the context of their writing, are communicating something other than what is read at the surface... there is the literal meaning; misunderstood or not understood at all & there is the veiled meaning.

Author: Laldyada
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publishe
ISBN: 9788120832558
Category : Kashmir Saivism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Mystical Verses of Lalla is a rich introduction to Lalla, the great 14th centuries. Also known as Lallesvari and Lal Ded, she defied social conventions and proceeded on the journey of self-realization. Her verses speak across cultural boundaries and traditions and are as relevant today as they were six centuries ago. Jaishree Kak has beautifully translated the verses from Kashmiri into English. Joseph Singer's prints and drawings complement the verses, providing visual pathways into Lalla's verses. The fourteenth-century mystic poet Lalla, also known as Lallesvari and Lal Ded, is an integral part of Kashmiri language, literature, and culture. Lalla-Vakh or Lalla's verse-sayings have resonated orally for centuries in the valley of Kashmir. Lalla has been compared to Shakespeare, Hafiz, Kabir and Tulsidasa. And, she has been honored as the first Kashmiri poet who modernized Kashmiri language as well as literature. Her richness of language, turn of phrases, and metaphors are now standard expressions in modern Kashmiri.

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse
Author: A. W. Tozer
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1600669050
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
"... some of the best devotional verse the English language affords..." While the term "mystic" may have connotations that reach beyond traditional Christian thinking, it actually refers to a common spiritual experience that unites anyone who has fellowship with God. The poems in this book were hand-picked by Tozer and follow a logical pattern, going in line with the very nature of salvation itself and the death of Jesus on the cross, man's contemplation of his own sin, redemption, communion with God, awaiting the return of Christ, and celebrations of eternal fellowship with God in Heaven. Both intimate and exhilarating, The Christian Book of Mystical Verse is a book for anyone who seeks to worship God the Father, and who finds the rich language of Christians of old a great help in that endeavor.

The Mystic Ark
Author: Conrad Rudolph
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139916513
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 655
Book Description
In this book, Conrad Rudolph studies and reconstructs Hugh of Saint Victor's forty-two-page written work, The Mystic Ark, which describes the medieval painting of the same name. In medieval written sources, works of art are not often referred to, let alone described in any detail. Almost completely ignored by art historians because of the immense difficulty of its text, Hugh of Saint Victor's Mystic Ark (c.1125–30) is among the most unusual sources we have for an understanding of medieval artistic culture. Depicting all time, all space, all matter, all human history and all spiritual striving, this highly polemical painting deals with a series of cultural issues crucial in the education of society's elite during one of the great periods of intellectual change in Western history.

Mystical Dimensions of Islam
Author: Annemarie Schimmel
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807869333
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 543
Book Description
Thirty-five years after its original publication, Mystical Dimensions of Islam still stands as the most valuable introduction to Sufism, the main form of Islamic mysticism. This edition brings to a new generation of readers Annemarie Schimmel's historical treatment of the transnational phenomenon of Sufism, from its beginnings through the nineteenth century. Schimmel's sensitivity and deep understanding of Sufism--its origins, development, and historical context--as well as her erudite examination of Sufism as reflected in Islamic poetry, draw readers into the mood, the vision, and the way of the Sufi. In the foreword, distinguished Islam scholar Carl W. Ernst comments on the continuing vitality of Schimmel's book and the advances in the study of Sufism that have occurred since the work first appeared.
