Heart Meditation: An Introduction to Gnostic Heart Meditation

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2014-05-23

  • Publisher: Lulu.com

This book is an introduction to the ancient Gnostic science of Heart Meditation through the use of mystical rhythms. Over the last decades scientific research has established the benefits of meditation for our minds and bodily health. However, most of the research has been focused on the effect of meditation on the mind as traditional meditation techniques concentrate primarily on the mind and its relation to the body. However, Gnostics, for thousands of years, have focused their meditation techniques on the heart because they recognise the importance of the heart as a gateway for spiritual enlightenment; as well as the role it has in creating inner balance in our minds and improving our physical health. This booklet is an introductory guide to this technique which should be practiced under the guidance of an experienced instructor.

New Researches on the Quran: Why and How Two Versions of Islam Entered the History of Mankind

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2015

This book focuses on the time before the Quran and the emergence of Islam. The research delves into the origin of the Quran, using its verses alongside investigative works which support various new theories. The Quran is a written document which, according to recent discoveries such as, the recently discovered world's oldest Quran manuscript at the University of Birmingham, can be traced to the lifetime of Prophet Mohammad. It focuses on the time preceding Islam and highlights the relationships that are pivotal for understanding the development of Islam. The danger posed by false interpretations of the Quran has become increasingly more serious from first appearance of Islam until today, the result of which we can see clearly in our current world. Hence the Quran itself is the most important document to be researched and studied for resolving the problems caused by its false interpretation.

Die Rechtsstellung religiöser Minderheiten im Iran

  • Publisher: Nomos Verlag

Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass die im Iran verfassungsrechtlich garantierten Personalstatuten ("ahvāl-e šakhsīye") der offiziell anerkannten religiösen Minderheiten (Zoroastrier, Juden und Christen), diesen durchaus Rechte hinsichtlich ihrer persönlichen Angelegenheiten gewähren. Dennoch kommt es zu Maßnahmen, die vor allem die völkerrechtlichen Rechte der religiösen Minderheiten nach Art. 27 IPbpR beeinträchtigen. Die Arbeit behandelt erstmalig einen Rechtsvergleich dieser Statuten. Zudem behandelt die Autorin den Schutz religiöser Minderheiten im Völkerrecht, die Rechtsstellung religiöser Minderheiten im islamischen Recht und ausführlich die Rechtstellung religiöser Minderheiten im Iran (u.a. Sunniten, Sufi-Orden, Ahl-e Haq-Orden, Aleviten, Zaiditen, Ismailiten, Zoroastrier, Juden, Christen, Bahai, Mandäer und Yeziden). Die Autorin bietet Lösungen zur Behebung der Probleme der religiösen Minderheiten an und leistet einen Beitrag für eine zukünftige Harmonisierung zwischen iranischem Recht und Völkerrecht.

Contemporary Iran

Iran is a key player in some of the most crucial issues of our time. But because of its relative diplomatic isolation and the partisan nature of conflicting accounts voiced by different interest groups both inside and outside the country, there is a shortage of hard information about the scale and depth of social change in today's Iran. In this volume, and imposing roster of both internationally renowned Iranian scholars and rising young Iranian academics offer contributions--many based on recent fieldwork--on the nature and evolution of Iran's economy, significant aspects of Iran's changing society, and the dynamics of its domestic and international politics since the 1979 revolution, focusing particularly on the post-Khomeini period. The book will be of great interest not only to Iran specialists, but also to scholars of comparative politics, democratization, social change, politics in the Muslim world, and Middle Eastern studies.

The Twelve Holy Nights and the Spiritual Hierarchies

Prokofieff draws on the whole extent of Rudolf Steiner s work and combines it with his own original spiritual research to form an intricate picture of the cosmic forces at play between Christmas and Epiphany. We are led on a tour through the circle of the zodiac and spiritual hierarchies, and shown how they form a path from Jesus to Christ. The author further explains that the Starry Script is a key to anthroposophical Christology, and shows how it relates to the conception of the First Goetheanum. Prokofieff guides us imaginatively through the interior of Steiner s architectural masterpiece (destroyed by fire at the end of 1922), whose structure and decorations are seen to constitute a coherent esoteric map. Our task now, he suggests, is to rebuild the First Goetheanum within ourselves and, through a new form of self-development, work toward a truly modern path of initiation. Supplementary essays focus on the cosmic aspects of Sophia as well as the being of Michael. Prokofieff s seminal study offers a rich source of inspiration for those wishing to penetrate the mysteries of the Twelve Holy Nights and their relation to spiritual beings."
