Penguin Arkana, London, 1990. First Thus. Paperback. Very Good Condition/N/A. edited by Mary Lutyens; "This reader introduces to a wide public one of the most extraordinary and profoundly influential teachers of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti was educated by Annie Besant to be the World Teacher and the salvation of the nations; he rejected this Messianic role, announcing that he did not seek disciples, but his gentle, simple and human example inspired Aldous Huxley and continues to influence seekers after truth in our own day. Krishnamurti did not have a 'philosophy'. Rather, he hoped to liberate people from all systems - from the bonds of ideology and received opinion as well as from organized religion, from the tyranny of the mind and the tyranny of the body. His message, addressed directly to every individual, is one of unity and wholeness, of total understanding and total love. As the Observer said of one of his books, 'For those who wish to listen, it will have a value… Read More

Motilal Banarsidass . Hardcover. New. Until the end of his life at the age of ninety, Krishnamurti-the world teacher-traveled the world speaking as a private person. The rejection of all spiritual and psychological authority, including his own, is a fundamental theme. A major concern is the social structure and how it conditions the individual. The emphasis in his talks and writings is on the psychological barriers that prevent clarity of perception. Because his subject is all - embracing, the Collected Works which are in 18 Volumes, are of compelling interest. Within his talks in any one year, Krishnamurti was not able to cover the whole range of his vision, but broad amplifications of particular themes are found throughout these volumes. In them he lays the foundations of many of the concepts he used in later years. The Collected Works contain Krishnamurti's previously published talks, discussions, answers to specific questions, and writings for the years 1933 through 1967. They are… Read More

new. “Este é o manual de conhecimento oculto mais necessário a todos os estudantes. Se assimilado por todos os humanos do planeta, mudaria o mundo para melhor”, foi dito sobre a obra Formas de Pensamento. De fato, nada mais importante que as criações vivas e atuantes de nossas formas mentais, como influência individual e coletiva. “Os pensamentos são coisas”, diz o antigo aforismo oriental. Leadbeater e Annie Besant nos confirmam isso, ao compartilhar com os leitores as imagens reais percebidas nos planos invisíveis, por sua avançada clarividência, e demonstrar as leis que regem a produção dessas formas coloridas e dinâmicas que nos cercam permanentemente, modelando o nosso carma.A clareza didática com que esses autores apresentam temas de elevada transcendência oculta, analisando a formação e constituição de formas de pensamento das mais diversas qualidades, nos permite compreender profundamente o funcionamento de nosso mundo interno e a atuação do pensamento criador do… Read More

new. A consciência espiritual é imortal, embora possa necessitar de um cérebro para poder manifestar-se neste mundo físico, como a autora evidencia nas provas da existência da alma.” Nessa obra, a Dra. Annie Besant elucida a conexão entre matéria e Espírito nos diversos planos de manifestação. “Consciência é a vida tornando-se perceptiva de seu ambiente.” Cada fragmento da Consciência Una, separado como entidade individual velada na matéria, é diferenciado em seus três aspectos – Vontade, Sabedoria (ou Amor) e Atividade –, repetindo em escala menor o processo cósmico no qual a Trindade Divina sempre emana da Existência Una, a consciência universal. Cada individualidade traz assim, potencialmente, em sua própria essência, a imagem e semelhança da trindade de sua fonte como força motriz. “Consciência e vida são idênticas, duas denominações para uma única coisa considerada do ponto de vista interior e do ponto de vista exterior. Não existe vida sem consciência;… Read More

Hardback. New. <p>The main subjects of analysis in the present book are the stages of initiation in the grand scheme of Theosophical evolution. These initiatory steps are connected to an idea of evolutionary self-development by means of a set of virtues that are relative to the individual’s position on the path of evolution. The central thesis is that these stages were translated from the “Hindu” tradition to the “Theosophical” tradition through multifaceted “hybridization processes” in which several Indian members of the Theosophical Society partook. Starting with Annie Besant’s early Theosophy, the stages of initiation are traced through Blavatsky’s work to Manilal Dvivedi and T. Subba Row, both Indian members of the Theosophical Society, and then on to the <em>Sanâtana Dharma</em> Text Books. In 1898, the… Read More
