A Ribband Of Blue. We would draw the attention of beloved friends to the instructive passage with which the fifteenth chapter of Numbers closes; and may G, through our meditation on His precious Word, make it yet more precious and practical to each one of us, for C our R sake! The whole chapter is full of important teaching. It commences with instruction concerning the burnt-offering, the sacrifice in... more...

As religiões desse mundo preservam o conhecimento e protegem os segredos dos antigos e poderosos mantras. No coração da religião desse mundo, e entre os mantras mais poderosos da história da religião, está o mantra Navkar, ou Trimantra. No livro “Trimantra”, Gnani Purush (personificação do autoconhecimento) Dada Bhagwan explica o Trimantra, seu significado e os benefícios extraordinários... more...

CHAPTER THE FIRST THE COSMOGONY OF MODERN RELIGION1. MODERN RELIGION HAS NO FOUNDERPerhaps all religions, unless the flaming onset of Mohammedanism be an exception, have dawned imperceptibly upon the world. A little while ago and the thing was not; and then suddenly it has been found in existence, and already in a state of diffusion. People have begun to hear of the new belief first here and then... more...

CHAPTER I ITS ORIGIN AND MEANING Much has been written about Christianity and Islam, so I hasten to inform my readers that this is not a religious treatise, nor do I class them with the globe-trotter who searched Benares brass-bazar diligently for "a really nice image of Allah" and pronounced the dread name of Hindustan's avenging goddess like an effervescing drink. I presuppose that... more...

INTRODUCTION The pages which follow call for little introduction. S. Thomas has left us no formal treatise on Mystical Theology, though his teachings on this subject have been collected from his various works and combined to form such a treatise. Especially noteworthy is the work of the Spanish Dominican Valgornera. No such synthesis has been attempted here. We have simply taken from the Summa... more...

I Cannot find, upon the most impartial Retrospection of the Argument, any Reason to alter my Sentiments concerning it; and as it is a Matter of the greatest Importance, ’tis hoped that those who maintain the Doctrines of Election, &c. will afford it all the Weight and Consideration it deserves. But, if there be any among them, who will hear no Reason or Argument whatever, and are sure, only... more...

CHAPTER ONE The first difficulty which confronts the incumbent of the Lyman Beecher Foundation, after he has accepted the appalling fact that he must hitch his modest wagon, not merely to a star, but rather to an entire constellation, is the delimitation of his subject. There are many inquiries, none of them without significance, with which he might appropriately concern himself. For not only is the... more...

INTRODUCTION 1. The Occasion of the Work.—Luther did not impose himself as reformer upon the Church. In the course of a conscientious performance of the duties of his office, to which he had been regularly and divinely called, and without any urging on his part, he attained to this position by inward necessity. In 1515 he received his appointment as the standing substitute for the sickly city pastor,... more...

Dieses Leben ist ganz zerrüttet. Man weiß noch nicht einmal mehr, warum man dieses Leben lebt. Ein Leben ohne Ziel ist ohne Bedeutung. Man verdient Geld, genießt seine Mahlzeiten und sorgt sich den ganzen Tag lang. Wie kann dies das Ziel eines Lebens sein? Wie kann man verhindern, ein solch menschliches Leben nicht zu verschwenden? Nachdem man als Mensch geboren wurde, was sollte man tun, um das Ziel... more...

DON MIGUEL DE UNAMUNO I sat, several years ago, at the Welsh National Eisteddfod, under the vast tent in which the Bard of Wales was being crowned. After the small golden crown had been placed in unsteady equilibrium on the head of a clever-looking pressman, several Welsh bards came on the platform and recited little epigrams. A Welsh bard is, if young, a pressman, and if of maturer years, a divine. In... more...
