Copyright © The Esoteric Quarterly, 2006. 3 The Esoteric Quarterly The New World Religion Throughout the history of humanity, religion has always been a great divisive force, a cause for war and persecution. It has also been used to control people’s thinking and the spirit of inquiry. As the consciousness of thinking humanity slowly rises from personal to transpersonal levels, an entirely new understanding and experience of spiritual life on Earth becomes possible, and we recognize that all religions have many truths in common. The new world religion will be based on those common truths. More information on this topic is offered in a compilation of the writings of Alice A. Bailey, The New World Religion: a Closer Approach between Humanity and the Kingdom of God. Available free. School for Esoteric Studies 275 S.

  • Israel Regardie and the Psychologization of Esoteric Discourse
    Correspondences 3 (2015) 5–54 ISSN: 2053-7158 (Online) correspondencesjournal.com Israel Regardie and the Psychologization of Esoteric Discourse Christopher A. Plaisance E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This is an article in the history of Western esoteric currents that re-examines and clarifies the relationship between esoteric and psychological discourses within the works of Israel Regardie. One of the most common ways in which these two discourses have been found to be related to one another by scholars of the esoteric is through the process of “psychologization”— with Regardie often being put forth as a paragon of the process. This paper argues that a unitary conception of psychologization fails to adequately describe the specific discursive strategies utilized by Regardie. In order to accurately analyze his ideas, a manifold typology of complementary, terminological, reductive, and idealist modes of psychologization is proposed instead. Through this system of classification, Regardie’s ideas regarding the relationship between psychological and esoteric discourses are understood as a network of independent but non-exclusive processes, rather than as a single trend. It is found that all four modes of psychologization are present, both in relative isolation and in combination with one another, throughout his works. These results demonstrate that while it is accurate to speak of Regardie as having psychologized esoteric discourse, this can only be the case given an understanding of “psychologization” that is differentially nuanced in a way that, at least, accounts for the distinct discursive strategies this paper identifies.

    For Immediate Release ADRIENNE ELISE TARVER: THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE TRUTH September 8, 2021 to January 2, 2022 Tarver debuts a new series of works on paper and a large- scale painting inspired by tarot and Afrofuturist imagery, marking the artist’s first solo museum presentation The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth is the first solo museum presentation of Brooklyn-based artist Adrienne Elise Tarver (b. 1985) and the second series in The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum’s newly established Aldrich Projects. Tarver debuts Manifesting Paradise (2020–ongoing), a suite of twenty-two mixed media works on paper based on the Major Arcana (major mysteries), the foundational card set of the centuries-old tarot deck, alongside Weary As I Can Be (2021). The vibrant colors and tropical settings that saturate these compositions—a fixture of her overall practice—aim to reclaim the perceptions of the exoticized, tropical seductress imparted on Black and brown women by Western civilization. Adrienne Elise Tarver Magician, 2020 Here, the faraway temptress meets another long-standing trope: the Black Courtesy of the artist Voodoo priestess, a treasury of esoteric wisdom. Adrienne Elise Tarver: The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth will be on view at The Aldrich September 8, 2021 to January 2, 2022. Conceived amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and the racial injustice movements of 2020, Manifesting Paradise marks a polar shift in the artist’s approach as she turns her analytical lens from the past to the future. Substituting investigations of origin stories with divinatory tokens and metaphysical forecasts, Tarver turns her attention forward in pursuit of effecting hope and solace during a time of vast uncertainties.
