Paperback. Condición: New. Schuon goes to the root of the impasse reached by the modern mind, resulting from the difficulty so many people have in accepting the symbolic expressions of religion in the face of academic rationalism, relativism and the discoveries of science. These essays clear the ground, beginning with the crucia…l reintegration of intelligence and our need for causal explanations, long left neglected and outside faith. The transcendent and primordial nature of revelation, intellect, faith, prayer and the human condition are set for a thin framework that reconciles the apparent incompatibility between metaphysics - commonly confused with rational thought - and the love of God, often seen only from the standpoint of sentimentality.

Paperback. Condición: New. Richly illustrated with historical photographs and paintings, Spirit of the Indian Warrior presents the thoughts of some of history's greatest warriors and tribal leaders. It offers an intimate window into the cultural values of courage, loyalty, and generosity. When the first Europeans landed in North… America, its native peoples faced a challenge unlike any before. Many warriors and chiefs vowed, like Tecumseh, "to resist as long as I live and breathe." Some eventually accepted treaties of peace, but they soon found, like Chief Joseph, that these were worth little: "What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one. What treaty that the whites ever made with us red men have they kept? Not one." Hope for the future, however, remains strong among their proud descendants. And the words of the Indian warrior live on and inspire the people of America's First Nations, as well as people across the world.

Paperback. Condición: New. There is more to life than our ordinary experience of it and "A Guide to Hindu Spirituality" is intended to serve as a guide to help us explore that missing dimension. Spirituality is often viewed as something mysterious and Hindu spirituality even more so. But its central claim is really quite simple:… that our normal life does not exhaust the experience of reality. The word spirituality is simply a signpost pointing to this unexplored religion. The various religions of the world provide their own roadmaps for exploring this region. "A Guide to Hindu Spirituality", by Arvind Sharma, presents one such roadmap based on a well-known philosophical system of the Hindu tradition.

Paperback. Condición: New. SURVEY OF METAPHYSICS AND ESOTERISM serves as a near complete expression of Schuon's thought. This book is distinctive in presenting in one volume what might be called the three hallmarks of Schuon's writings. In clear and distinct order he writes on cosmology and metaphysical principles on the esoteri…c and exoteric expression of these principles in the various religious traditions and on the trials and ultimate transformation of human nature - from the Foreword by Bruce K. Hanson Those familiar with Schuon's writings will know that this transformation involves not only certitude of thought and serenity of mind but also certitude and serenity of heart. Whether the subject is intellectual religious moral or aesthetic the aim is ultimately a quasi-existential assimilation of certitude that is reflected in man's centrality his total and integral nature.

This concise book seeks to make available to the public what may be called "the other side of Islam - not the violent aspect appearing in the nightly news headlines which focus on radical terrorists, but the long and rich tradition at the heart of Islamic spirituality known as Sufism.

Known for his capacity to give clear explanations of unfamiliar and complex material, Stoddart emphasises the importance of the role of art and beauty, highlights its intricate symbolism and explains the central role of the invocation of the Name of God in Sufi spiritual practice; an appendix includes central Koranic, Prophetic and traditional Sufi sayings. This new edition is based upon an earlier and much shorter book Stoddart wrote 35 years ago, which was highly acclaimed by leading experts in the field of Islamic Studies. Harvard professor Annemarie Schimmel remarked that it was "Useful . adorned with many good illustrations . (and) contains many important points clearly expressed.".
