With the predictions of the Sanctus Germanus Prophecies Volume 1
coming to pass, the present Volume 2 concentrates on the
lightbearer's role during the post-2012 Earth changes and
reconstruction effort. Lightbearers are today's Bodhisattvas,
thousands of advanced initiates and past luminaries of earth, who
have reincarnated to help mankind through this period of great
change and turmoil. The Sanctus Germanus Prophecies, Volume 2 is a
practical guide for the lightbearer to situate his or her place in
the grand scheme of things and prepare for the coming challenges.
A second, wiser self guides us through life. Without it we would
not go far, for it is what makes us human. In the first years of
life -- before memory and ego -- it guides us to stand upright and
to learn to speak and think. Then we exchange this wisdom, which is
still connected to the spiritual hierarchies, for our
ego-consciousness. Yet it remains ever-present, and through
meditation we can consciously connect to it.
1934. A monograph by one of the leading figures of the Theosophical
Society. His hopes for this essay is to show those in India who
believe in Indianisation, and those outside of India who believe in
Fraternisation, that there lived once upon a time two great men who
are among the most advanced of the moderns. See other works by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
How does the story of Christianity and the tenets of the faith fit
into the grand scheme of transcultural spirituality? In this
inspiring book, first published in 1904, the renowned spiritualist
Charles W. Leadbeater places Christianity into the larger context
of human religious experience-with a specific eye toward
demonstrating how adherents of theosophy, the esoteric philosophy
popular at the turn of the 20th century that attempted to reconcile
science and religion, could maintain their Christian faith. Seekers
after spiritual wisdom and students of comparative mythology will
find this a fascinating read. British author CHARLES WEBSTER
LEADBEATER (1854-1934) was ordained as an Anglican priest, but
later joined the prominent Theosophical Society and traveled to
India to study alternative spiritual and occult practices,
eventually settling into his life as a clairvoyant and author. His
other works include Man Visible and Invisible and The Science of
the Sacrament.
First published in 1882, The Perfect Way or The Finding of Christ
is Anna Kingsford's attempt to bring together Christianity and the
Theosophical tradition, which supposes a system of fundamental
truths from which all religions are born and seeks to identify that
wisdom so that humans may move further along their path to
perfection. This perfection, according to Kingsford, is exemplified
by Christ, which she sees as a category of person and not a
particular historical person. In this construction, anyone is
capable of a becoming a Christ and joining with the Divine.
Students of religion and spiritual seekers will find this book an
interesting read from a once popular religious and philosophical
movement. English physician ANNA BONUS KINGSFORD (1846-1888) was
also one of the first women in England to be granted a medical
degree and served as onetime president of the Theosophical Society.
She is also the author of Clothing with the Sun (1889). English
writer EDWARD MAITLAND (1824-1897) assisted Anna Kingsford in
writing several books and then opened the Esoteric Christian Union
in 1891.
