Bridges Publishing. 2001; Hardcover; bevat aantekeningen en aanstrepingen; schutblad beschreven / contains notes and markings. Since ancient times the flame of wisdom has been kept burning and mankind has never been left without spiritual direction. In the 20th century one of the torches of the Ancient Wisdom was handed to Alice A Bailey, whose books stand out for their quality and depth. In "Bridges", Aart Jurriaanse offers these Ancient Wisdom teachings in a clear and accessible way. First published in 1978, this book is now re-released to aid a turbulent humanity on its journey from a belief in separation to unity consciousness. In his unique way of presenting esoteric principles in clear language, the author reveals some of the basic but crucial instructions of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings given to mankind to assist in their growth towards Spiritual Oneness. Read in this book (among much more): that the whole Universe, with all it embraces, consists of energy manifested in a myriad of forms and in forces which interrelate everything in the universal system; who and what man is, the position he occupies in the overall; picture and what role he has to fulfil in the Divine Plan; how man is constituted of three separate bodies and how their functions are co-ordinated by the soul; a description of certain expansions of consciousness known as 'initiations'; a brief description of the Spiritual Hierarchy and of individual Masters; about the little realised but close relationship between humanity and the Hierarchy of Masters; about the Seven Rays; Human Relationships; Discipleship; Service; White and Black Magic; Education and Religion; and, Science, Economics and Politics. This is one of today's most reliable textbooks of the Ancient Wisdom teachings, helping in opening up an awareness lying latent within man himself and revealing new vistas of truth, insight and understanding. This is a timeless Esoteric Classic!
