The East in the Light of the West, Pt. 1-3 - The Birth of Christian Esotericism in the Twentieth Century and the Occult Powers... The East in the Light of the West, Pt. 1-3 - The Birth of Christian Esotericism in the Twentieth Century and the Occult Powers That Oppose it (Paperback)

This major work comprises a comprehensive study of Eastern and Western esoteric streams and the occult powers that stand behind them. In Part 1 Prokofieff discusses the spiritual movement of Agni Yoga, presented to the world by Helena Roerich and her husband, the painter Nicholas Roerich. Part 2 focuses on the teachings developed by Alice Bailey, whilst Part 3 considers the relationship between Eastern and Western spiritual masters and the occult streams they represent. The first two Parts of the book give descriptions of both the Roerichs' and Alice Bailey's philosophy, based on their own perspective, together with anthroposophical commentaries that give an understanding of these two streams in the light of modern Christian esotericism. As Prokofieff points out, both the Roerichs and Bailey were convinced that the occult teachers who inspired them were the same as those referred to by the founder of Theosophy, Helena Blavatsky. Part 3 deals directly with the mystery of the Eastern teachers, or mahatmas, and their relationship to Christian esotericism. On the basis of extensive research, Prokofieff comes to the startling conclusion that the occultists whom both the Roerichs and Alice Bailey named as their leaders actually have nothing in common with Blavatsky's Eastern mahatmas. In Prokofieff's words: 'Hence...one has to do not with the Eastern mahatmas but with quite different occultists who had illicitly appropriated their names and then tried - while deliberately misleading their followers - to attain their highly dubious occult political aims with the help of the occult movements which had already been initiated.' Prokofieff argues that this appropriation led to a distortion of the age-old Eastern philosophies, giving them an anti-Christian character, and led to phenomena such as 'occult materialism', insidious political goals, and prophecies of a physically incarnating 'Messiah'. Previously available only in German as three separate books, with just an early version of Part 1 published in English, this long-awaited translation of Prokofieff's incisive study offers a fine schooling in discernment, judgement and spiritual insight.

I wrote this book because I, like most people in this world have been bombarded with religion my whole life. There are crosses everywhere we look, anti-vaxxers using religion to justify their dangerous conduct, Jesus peddlers knocking on our doors, politicians spouting ridiculousness and influencing our laws, as well as family and friends forming conclusions based on a diluted version of reality. This book is a laymen's attempt to take a comprehensive and critical look at religion and superstition in our world. We know too much. Advancements in our understanding of science and history are fundamentally incompatible with the myths that are propagated by today's religions. This book conclusively demonstrates why we must let go of the childish fables of world. Taking an irreverent and sarcastic tone, "The god that Cried Wolf" clearly demonstrates why all religions and superstitions draw false conclusions about how our world functions. It will be best received by those people whom already have a skeptical mind. However if this book is read entirely from cover to cover, any religious or superstitious person will be able to clearly see why they can no longer put stock into their particular myth. It also illuminates why religious and superstitious moderates help perpetuate and provide security for the extremists. This book is a call to action for everyone to start living in a rational and logical state of being. The intent is to create a world without frivolous and dangerous forces which bear no validity and to remove these fraudulent influences from causing the many poor behaviors people carry out in the name of their particular religion. If a person honestly and actually reads this book with an open mind in its entirety, they will no longer be a believer in god, religion and superstition by the time they finish reading it.

An extraordinary vision of unity among the world's historic faiths and a classic of New Age spirituality.
Here is a hugely influential interpretation of the "lost years" of Jesus Christ-from roughly the ages of twelve to thirty that are not covered in Scripture- in which the Son of Man is seen to travel through the religious cultures of the East, learning and preaching the unifying spiritual ethic behind all religions.
"The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" is a stirring and deeply involving vision that profoundly impacted the development of alternative spirituality in the early twentieth century, and continues to touch readers today.
Now, the unabridged narrative of this powerful work- drawn from one of its earliest volumes-is redesigned for ease of reading in a handsome signature edition.

Despite the frightening title this is a comforting book. The reason is that there are no reasons why you and your loved ones will go to hell. This book is a joke that worries religious people until they open it. It's an inexpensive gift for Christians and atheists. Inside they'll find a hundred blank pages they can use for notes and addresses.

Agnosticism, Atheism, and Non-religious persons have similar views on spirituality. Agnosticism is a faith system that holds that there is no definitive evidence that a spiritual being exists. It is a non-exclusive faith system associated with physics. Some Atheists similarly believe there isn't anything in the spiritual realm. Non-Religious persons don't think of spirituality in any sense. This book gives an overview of these faith and non-faith systems that can be understood on a conversational level. This book includes a section for notes and keeping a journal. This book is presented by (ULCMM) The Universal Life Church Monastery of Massachusetts.
