44 Letters to Gustav Meyrink
Gustav Meyrink (1868 -1932) visited Alois Mailander several times between 1892 and 1905 and tested Mailander's mystical path. The letters published here report details from Meyrink's lifeperiod in Prague, of which one could get little information so far, and speak of the dynamism that made the banker Gustav Meyer a writer.
Anthroposophieforschung
Die Anthroposophie Rudolf Steiners (1861-1925) ist eine der wichtigsten esoterischen Traditionen der Gegenwart. Ihre Bedeutung verdankt sie nicht nur Steiners stark philosophisch geprägter Weltanschauung aus dem Geist des Okkultismus, sondern vor allem den Praxisfeldern: Waldorfschulen, anthroposophischen Krankenhäusern, der biodynamischen Landwirtschaft und den weniger bekannten Dimensionen (Banken, Hochschulen, Stiftungen) ... Die wissenschaftliche Forschung ist jedoch bislang schwach. Zwar liegen einige grundlegende Publikationen vor, an Detailforschung fehlt es jedoch überall. Der vorliegende Band enthält exemplarische Forschungen zu Waldorfpädagogik, Landwirtschaft, Steiners Philos...
"Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?" von Rudolf Steiner und das Yoga Sutra
Yoga wurde im 19. Jahrhundert von Europäern entdeckt. Schon Georg Friedrich Hegel diskutierte mit den Brüdern Schlegel und mit Wilhelm von Humboldt über die Frage, was Yoga sei. Indologen waren auf eine alte, in Sanskrit formulierte systematische Anleitung zur Meditation gestoßen, die den Namen YOGA SUTRA trägt. Englischsprachige Übersetzungen dieses Textes wurden seit 1880 von Theosophen verbreitet. In Wien hatte sich Friedrich Eckstein, ein Freund von Rudolf Steiner, schon früh für Yoga interessiert; Sigmund Freud und Gustav Meyrink berichten darüber. Einige Theosophen experimentierten nach den Anweisungen des YOGA SUTRA. In verschiedenen Aufsätzen (1904/05) reflektierte Rudolf Steiner das theosophische Interesse am Yoga und interpretierte wesentliche Inhalte des YOGA SUTRA. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, welche Textquellen dabei eine Rolle gespielt haben. Ein ausführlicher Apparat im Anhang enthält den von Theosophen favorisierten Text des YOGA SUTRA in der Übersetzung von W.Q. Judge (englisch/deutsch) und Auszüge aus weiteren damals diskutierten Schriften zum Yoga.
Of Memphis and of Misraim, the Oriental Silence of the Winged Sun
This book offers a historical study of the Masonic "Rite of Memphis-Misraim", allegedly established in 1881. The "Rite of Memphis" and the "Rite of Misraim" were originally separate bodies that originated in the first half of 19th century France. The Rite often refers to Cagliostro (1743-1795), an Italian alchemist, Freemason, healer, and "a key figure of his time", who allegedly gave the organization the impulse necessary for its development. This Masonic system of "High Degrees" is sometimes known as "Egyptian Freemasonry" due to the invocation of Hermetic derived esoteric symbolism that is filled with alchemical, occult and Egyptian references. These degrees blend Christian, Kabbalistic, ...
Joseph Beuys
Twenty-four years after his death, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is paying homage to the artist, educator and political activist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) in Düsseldorf, the city with which he is primarily associated. Often the object of intense debate and much hostility during his lifetime, today Beuys ranks among the 20th century's most important and most innovative figures of the artistic avant-garde and is often mentioned in the same breath as Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol. This companion book shares the exhibition's goal of displaying "the complete Beuys" by presenting selected works from all phases and artistic media of his multifaceted œuvre.
The White Dominican
The White Dominican is Meyrink's most esoteric novel, and draws on the wisdom of a number of mystical traditions, the most important of which is Tao. It is set in a mystical version of the Bavarian town of Wassserburg which sits on a promontory surrounded on three sides by the river Inn. The novel describes the spiritual journey of the simple hero, who, guided by a number of figures including his eccentric father, the spirit of of a distant ancestor, the protecting presence of his dead lover and the mysterious figure of the White Dominican, escapes the 'Medusa head' of the world to a transfiguration, through which he joins the 'living chain that stretches to infinity'.
The Dedalus Meyrink Reader
Gustav Meyrink is now considered to be one of the most important German language novelists of the 20th century. This collection of stories illustrates Meyrink's fondness for the bizarre and the grotesque which reflects his personal interest in occult works.
