TABLE OF CONTENTS Assembled by the Gurdjieff Foundation of Illinois with permission from The Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition, Inc. INSTRUCTIONS BACKGROUND Four times a year, since 1976, Parabola Magazine has brought us essays, fiction, reviews, interviews and artwork from around the world. Each issue has focused on one topic or theme to be explored from a variety of perspectives. We believe that Parabola Magazine issues from 40 years ago continue to be highly relevant to today’s seekers of truth. Recognizing that the many treasures buried in Parabola Magazine were indeed buried, we offer this searchable electronic index of every issue published by the Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition, Inc. It is our intent to continually update this file as new issues are released. THE PRODUCT The Topical Index lists each issue of Parabola Magazine with the topical description (assigned by Parabola), date, and volume/issue number. The Tables of Content have been enhanced to include significant items that were not identified on the printed Table of Contents pages including many book reviews which are often fascinating essays. SPECIAL FEATURES 1. If you click on a topic name in the Topical Index you will be taken instantly to the corresponding Table of Contents page. Simply scroll up to return to the Topical Index. 2. At the top of each Table of Contents page, you may click this icon: In a few seconds, you will be taken to the page on Parabola’s website where, with a few clicks, you may buy a hard copy or digital version of that issue. 3. Using your browser’s “Find” feature, you can locate authors, titles, or any word or phrase throughout all of the Table of Contents pages. So, for example, if you entered Needleman, you will quickly receive a list of Table of Contents pages referencing Jacob Needleman including articles and book review from 1985, and another article from 2015. By clicking on any of the items on the list, you will go to the appropriate Table of Contents page. A. How to get to the “Find” feature depends on your operating system. You may need to click on a 3-dot or 3- parallel-line symbol in the upper right corner of your screen and then click “Find.” B. Experiment with your search criteria for the best results. For example, if you were to enter the word pain, you would find several instances of painting! Hitting your space bar after pain will eliminate some unwanted “hits.” Topical Index Topic Volume/ DATE Topic Volume/ DATE Number Number The Hero 1/1 Winter 1976 The Knight and the Hermit 12/1 Spring 1987 Magic 1/2 Spring 1976 Addiction 12/2 Summer 1987 Initiation 1/3 Summer 1976 Forgiveness 12/3 Fall 1987 Rites of Passage 1/4 Fall 1976 The Sense of Humor 12/4 Winter 1987 Death 2/1 Winter 1977 The Creative Response 13/1 Spring 1988 Creation 2/2 Spring 1977 Repetition and Renewal 13/2 Summer 1988 Cosmology 2/3 Summer 1977 Questions 13/3 Fall 1988 Relationships 2/4 Fall 1977 The Mountain 13/4 Winter 1988 Sacred Space 3/1 Spring 1978 Disciples and Discipline 14/1 Spring 1989 Sacrifice and 3/2 Summer 1978 Tradition and Transmission 14/2 Summer 1989 Transformation Inner Alchemy 3/3 Fall 1978 The Tree of Life 14/3 Fall 1989 Androgyny 3/4 Winter 1978 Triad 14/4 Winter 1989 The Trickster 4/1 Spring 1979 Time and Presence 15/1 Spring 1990 Sacred Dance 4/2 Summer 1979 Attention 15/2 Summer 1990 The Child 4/3 Fall 1979 Liberation 15/3 Fall 1990 Storytelling and 4/4 Winter 1979 Hospitality 15/4 Winter 1990 Education The Old Ones 5/1 Spring 1980 Money 16/1 Spring 1991 Music, Sound, Silence 5/2 Summer 1980 The Hunter 16/2 Summer 1991 Obstacles 5/3 Fall 1980 Craft 16/3 Fall 1991 Woman 5/4 Winter 1980 The Golden Mean 16/4 Winter 1991 Earth and Spirit 6/1 Spring 1981 Solitude and Community 17/1 Spring 1992 The Dream of Progress 6/2 Summer 1981 Labyrinth 17/2 Summer 1992 Mask & Metaphor 6/3 Fall 1981 The Oral Tradition 17/3 Fall 1992 Demons 6/4 Winter 1981 Power and Energy 17/4 Winter 1992 Sleep 7/1 Spring 1982 Healing 18/1 Spring 1993 Dreams and Seeing 7/2 Summer 1982 Place and Space 18/2 Summer 1993 Ceremonies 7/3 Fall 1982 Crossroads 18/3 Fall 1993 Holy War 7/4 Winter 1982 The City 18/4 Winter 1993 Guilt 8/1 Spring 1983 The Call 19/1 Spring 1994 Animals 8/2 Summer 1983 Twins 19/2 Summer 1994 Words of Power 8/3 Fall 1983 Clothing 19/3 Fall 1994 Sun and Moon 8/4 Winter 1983 Hidden Treasure 19/4 Winter 1994 Hierarchy 9/1 Spring 1984 Earth, Air, Fire, Water 20/1 Spring 1995 Theft 9/2 Summer 1984 The Stranger 20/2 Summer 1995 Pilgrimage 9/3 Fall 1984 Language and Meaning 20/3 Fall 1995 Food 9/4 Winter 1984 Eros 20/4 Winter 1995 Wholeness 10/1 Spring 1985 Prophets and Prophecy 21/1 Spring 1996 Exile 10/2 Summer 1985 The Soul 21/2 Summer 1996 The Body 10/3 Fall 1985 Peace 21/3 Fall 1996 The Seven Deadly Sins 10/4 Winter 1985 Play and Work 21/4 Winter 1996 The Witness 11/1 Spring 1986 Ways of Knowing 22/1 Spring 1997 Mirrors 11/2 Summer 1986 The Shadow 22/2 Summer 1997 Sadness 11/3 Fall 1986 Conscience and Consciousness 22/3 Fall 1997 Memory and Forgetting 11/4 Winter 1986 Miracles 22/4 Winter 1997 2.

  • "Revelation" by Eliot Deutsch

    "Revelation" by Eliot Deutsch

    From the World Wisdom online library: www.worldwisdom.com/public/library/default.aspx Chapter 1 Revelation If we are to form a proper understanding of the meaning and scope of “Revelation,” we do well to forget at once the implications of the term in the Mediterranean religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Strictly speaking, “revelation” is a misnomer, since ultimately there is no revealer. The Sanskrit term for it is çruti, literally “the hear­ ing,” which means an erudition acquired by listening to the instruc­ tion of a teacher. This instruction itself had been transmitted to the teacher through an uninterrupted series of teachers that stretches to the beginning of creation. Revelation, therefore, is by no means God’s word—because, para­ doxically, if it were to derive from a divine person, its credibility would be impugned. It is held to be authorless, for if a person, human or divine, had authored it, it would be vulnerable to the defects inherent in such a person. It is axiomatic that revelation is infallible, and this infallibility can be defended only if it is authorless. Then from where does it come? The answer is stark and simple: it is given with the world. For some of the Mīmāmsā (or orthodox, exegetical) thinkers who have addressed themselves to this problem, the world is beginningless and the assumption of a creator is both problematic and unnecessary. And even if a beginning of the world is assumed, as in later Hindu thought when it is held that the universe goes through a pulsating rhythm of origination, existence, and disso­ lution, it is also held that at the dawn of a new world the revelation reappears to the vision of the seers, who once more begin the trans­ mission.

    The 21 Century New Muslim Generation Converts in Britain And

    The 21st Century New Muslim Generation Converts in Britain and Germany Submitted by Caroline Neumueller to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies October 2012 1 2 Abstract The dissertation focuses on the conversion experiences and individual processes of twenty-four native British Muslim converts and fifty-two native German Muslim converts, based on personal interviews and completed questionnaires between 2008 and 2010. It analyses the occurring similarities and differences among British and German Muslim converts, and puts them into relation to basic Islamic requirements of the individual, and in the context of their respective social settings. Accordingly, the primary focus is placed on the changing behavioural norms in the individual process of religious conversion concerning family and mixed-gender relations and the converts’ attitudes towards particularly often sensitive and controversial topics. My empirical research on this phenomenon was guided by many research questions, such as: What has provoked the participants to convert to Islam, and what impact and influence does their conversion have on their (former and primarily) non-Muslim environment? Do Muslim converts tend to distance themselves from their former lifestyles and change their social behavioural patterns, and are the objectives and purposes that they see themselves having in the given society directed to them being: bridge-builders or isolators? The topic of conversion to Islam, particularly within Western non-Muslim societies is a growing research phenomenon. At the same time, there has only been little contribution to the literature that deals with comparative analyses of Muslim converts in different countries.

    Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath from a Kristevan Perspective

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository Transforming the Law of One: Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath from a Kristevan Perspective A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Areen Ghazi Khalifeh School of Arts, Brunel University November 2010 ii Abstract A recent trend in the study of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath often dissociates Confessional poetry from the subject of the writer and her biography, claiming that the artist is in full control of her work and that her art does not have naïve mimetic qualities. However, this study proposes that subjective attributes, namely negativity and abjection, enable a powerful transformative dialectic. Specifically, it demonstrates that an emphasis on the subjective can help manifest the process of transgressing the law of One. The law of One asserts a patriarchal, monotheistic law as a social closed system and can be opposed to the bodily drives and its open dynamism. This project asserts that unique, creative voices are derived from that which is individual and personal and thus, readings of Confessional poetry are in fact best served by acknowledgment of the subjective. In order to stress the subject of the artist in Confessionalism, this study employed a psychoanalytical Kristevan approach. This enables consideration of the subject not only in terms of the straightforward narration of her life, but also in relation to her poetic language and the process of creativity where instinctual drives are at work. This study further applies a feminist reading to the subject‘s poetic language and its ability to transgress the law, not necessarily in the political, macrocosmic sense of the word, but rather on the microcosmic, subjective level.
