St Francis of Assisi From, for lovers of god everywhere Hay House, 2009 Cover Illustration James Turrell .© ‘Sky-space’ installation in the Roden Crater, Arizona. The Roden Crater is an extinct volcanic cinder cone, situated at an elevation of approximately 5,400 feet in the San Francisco Volcanic Field near Arizona's Painted Desert and the Grand Canyon. The 600 foot tall red and black cinder cone is being turned into a monumental work of art and naked eye observatory by the artist James Turrell, who says: . in this stage set of geologic time, I wanted to make spaces that engaged celestial events in light so that the spaces performed like a music of the spheres — in light. The sequence of spaces, leading up to the final large space at the top of the crater, magnifies events. The work I do intensifies the experience of light by isolating it and occluding light from events not looked at. (See more at www.rodencrater.com) CONTENTS 3.

    Contact The Study Society Newsletter Seeking a grand unification of matter, mind and spirit S. M. Jaiswal The Games Mouravieff & the secret of the source Meditating with your children No. 61 Summer 2013 FREE TO MEMBERS, OTHERS £5.00 Contact The Study Society Newsletter Question about loss of direction Question: What is the right effort involved in remembering what one has forgotten? Dr. Roles. I think it is to be silent for a moment. In that silence one collects oneSelf – one comes to oneSelf. It seems to be the one effort that works, for a sense of direction comes from within. One aspect of this is to give up all problems, all thinking, all mental activity and do what you have to do as if you were under orders – simply stepping out when you are walking, unlocking a door with attention, nothing else going on at all. That is so very refreshing; one is just a servant of the Param-Atman. This becomes very interesting if you take the Gospels psychologically. You remember Christ saying: Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7: 21–23) Now meditators, just doing empty repetition, just repeating the Name, are saying ‘Lord, Lord’.

  • Ragione E Sentimento Sguardi Sull'ottocento in Toscana
    Ragione e Sentimento Sguardi sull’Ottocento in Toscana Galleria degli Uffizi – Sala delle Reali Poste 14 maggio – 1 luglio 2007 Ragione e Sentimento. Sguardi sull’Ottocento in Toscana , curata da Carlo Sisi con Giovanna Giusti, inaugura lunedì 14 maggio presso la Sala delle Reali Poste della Galleria degli Uffizi. Iniziativa congiunta degli Amici degli Uffizi, della Galleria degli Uffizi e della Provincia di Firenze, la mostra si inserisce nell’ambito delle manifestazioni del “Genio Fiorentino 2007”. Ragione e Sentimento. Sguardi sull’Ottocento in Toscana è una mostra voluta da Antonio Natali nell’intento di dare inizio a presentazioni per nuclei omogenei della raccolta di autoritratti degli Uffizi: “La carenza d’ambienti agli Uffizi, ma anche il numero altissimo di quadri che compongono la collezione degli autoritratti costringono la collezione medesima a un’esposizione parziale. Questa semplice constatazione, sostenuta dal desiderio d’una migliore nozione della ricchissima serie dei ritratti d’artisti, mi pare debba indurre alla programmazione di mostre capaci di focalizzarne vari segmenti: ora per cronologia, ora per correnti espressive, ora per geografia, ora per ideologia, e via discorrendo. Mi sembra che le pur belle esposizioni ordinate finora in Italia e all’estero siano state quasi sempre concepite alla stregua di florilegi sceltissimi, con l’intento di ribadire la ricchezza e la nobiltà della collezione fiorentina. Da tempo reputo, però, siano piuttosto da studiare eventi (come questo, appunto) tesi alla presentazione d’opere che, essendone parte, consentano d’insistere su aspetti particolari, illustrandone, così, la varietà e la complessità”. Una mostra speciale, come sottolineano nell’introduzione Cristina Acidini, Soprintendente del Polo Museale Fiorentino, e Maria Vittoria Rimbotti, Presidente degli Amici degli Uffizi.

  • Wellington Meditation Centre (Registered As “Wellington Study Group Incorporated”)
    25.9.19 Draft 7 amended font Wellington Meditation Centre (registered as “Wellington Study Group Incorporated”) As in a great braided river, water flows down in tributary streams from hidden springs of longing that merge in a deep current of unity nearing the ocean…. 2 Introduction Longing to understand the truth about ourselves and our full potential in the universe in which we live has always been an undercurrent that brings us together in the Wellington Study Group (WSG)*. Drawing at various times from differing tributary streams, today there runs through the WSG a unified current of spiritual resources explored over some 60 years. The WSG offers authentic spiritual knowledge, meditation and dervish turning. It brings together individuals who feel drawn to realise in their lives an inner unity and rest, and want to meet others who may share the longing for ‘something more’. In this brief history we will describe how the WSG came into being many years ago and the tributary streams that have contributed to our unified spiritual current. * To better reflect its activities, since 2020 the WSG has used the name “Wellington Meditation Centre”. In this booklet however, the legal name abbreviated as “WSG” is used throughout. 3 The ‘Western System’ The earliest tributary stream that left spiritual concepts with us was a body of ideas (later called “the Western System”) taught by a Russian philosopher P D Ouspensky1. In around 1915-21 he derived this system of esoteric knowledge in an already formulated form from G I Pyotr Demianovich Gurdjieff who had obtained it from Ouspenskii (known in unverifiable sources.

  • Know Thyself
    KNOW THYSELF The revised edition of the Part One Course originally written by Leon MacLaren 1 2 In this Work each of us can only begin from where we are, and proceed by steps. The steps by which we proceed are steps in understanding. We can only bring about change in ourselves by practice. Leon MacLaren 3 4 Contents: Foreword 1. Levels of consciousness 2. Attention 3. Observation and Ego 4. Worlds 5. The Three Intelligences 6. The Higher Powers and Sex 7. Know Thyself Epilogue 5 6 Foreword Leon MacLaren was born in Glasgow on 24th September 1910. He was the son of Andrew MacLaren, a Labour MP and a staunch advocate of Henry George, the American economist. His father was a great influence on his life and Leon followed him in his economic and political aspirations. Apart from his interests in Politics, Economics and the Law, he listened to the sound of his heart to start a ‘School’, not knowing what this meant, but something “in the manner of Socrates.” As a young man of sixteen he had made the following observation: “It became very clear to me that there was such a thing as Truth and there was such a thing as Justice and that they could be found and being found, could be taught. It seemed to me that that was the most valuable thing one could pursue.” He spent the rest of his life pursuing this aim. MacLaren began by giving public lectures on Economics, and together with a group of equally inspired friends and also the help of his father, the School of Economic Science was established in 1937.

English translation by Edmondo De Amicis, Marocco BETTINA BORST ella pittura orientalista della seconda metà dell'Ottocento si afferma un interesse di Ntipo “documentario”: all’Oriente “lontano” e selvaggio dei romantici, luogo mitico carico di passione incontrollata e di tensione verso l’ignoto, si affianca l’Oriente del quo- tidiano. L’interesse è ora concentrato sui costumi, sui luoghi, sulla vita della gente comune, il tutto raffigurato con incredibile chiarezza analitica e con un gusto che talvolta rasenta l’interesse etnografico.
