Does God exist? It is a question every person is faced with. However, the real question is not whether God is. Even the devil knows that God exists. The question that matters is not, “Do I believe in God?” but “Do I love Him?” The following pages lay out several reasons why everyone should love him. Knowing the love of God - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit - and loving our fellow human beings through that love, is what every person was made for. It is what you were made for. It is your birthright and your destiny. Whatever you believe now, you deserve to know this truth, even if it is a truth that is often ridiculed, buried, and ignored. Christ suffered, died and rose again so that we might know the truth and he instituted the Catholic Church as the place where the truth is to be found. ...

„Един юноша много обичал да спортува. За разлика от своите връстници, които по цял ден прекарвали пред компютрите, той използвал всяка свободна минута, за да играе футбол, волейбол или някоя друга спортна игра. Тъй като имал и много добри атлетически данни, решил да стане състезател по волейбол и отишъл при един известен треньор, за да се запише в отбора му. Треньорът проверил уменията на момчето, рефлексите и чувството му към топката и много го харесал. „Но - казал му той, - за да станеш състезател в моя отбор и истински спортист ще трябва като начало да намалиш храненето и да свалиш няколко килограма”. Като чул това, юношата много се огорчил, навел глава и си тръгнал без да каже дума. Защото много обичал да си похапва. Както се досещате, този мой разказ е перифраза на евангелското четиво (Мат. 19:16-26). То ни припомня за богатия момък, който отива при Спасителя, за да Го попита как да наследи вечен живот. Оказва се, че за това няма пречки – момъкът е водил изряден и чист живот, но... все пак има едно „но”. Той е пристрастен към богатството си и когато Спасителят му предлага да се лиши от него и да го раздаде на бедните, за да п...

“Fundamentos da Cabala: Sêfer Yetsirá” busca apresentar e elucidar um dos mais conhecidos textos cabalísticos, o Livro da Criação, Sêfer Yetsirá. O livro procura introduzir os fundamentos da cabala por meio dos temas mencionados no Sêfer Yetsirá. O Sêfer Yetsirá é um dos mais importantes textos cabalísticos e foi escrito, provavelmente, no séc. III da era cristã, sob inspiração gnóstica. Ele versa sobre o misticismo e a tradição mágico-esotérica judaica, descrevendo a criação divina, que é apresentada como sendo resultante das combinações e permutações das letras do Nome de Deus (YHVH). Sua importância para o cabalismo pode ser inferida do fato dele ser o texto judaico mais antigo que cita o conceito de Sefirá. Também é inegável a importância do Sêfer Yetsirá para maçons, rosacruzes e estudantes de ciências ocultas em geral. A tradução do Sêfer Yetsirá para o português foi feita diretamente do texto hebraico, que é apresentado na íntegra no livro. A tradução é acompanhada de explicações do autor e citações dos comentários dos mais renomados rabinos, eruditos e estudiosos, entre eles: Gershom Scholem, Aryeh Kaplan, Leonard Glotzer, I...

O Sêfer Yetsirá é um texto judaico-gnóstico, provavelmente composto no séc. III, com nítidas influências neopitagóricas, pertencendo ao início da tradição Maase Bereshit. As ideias expressas no texto são próximas da tradição cabalística que aparece no Bahir, e muitos ensinamentos do Bahir e do Sêfer Yetsirá parecem provir da mesma fonte. O aspecto mágico associado ao Sêfer Yetsirá pode ser apreendido dos inúmeros relatos do uso do texto para fins teúrgicos, particularmente para a fabricação do Golem....

We made our initial steps on the spiritual Path within the bounds of healing, hatha-yoga, and orthodox Christianity, we studied among other works, by Roerichs and Blavatskaya. Later we managed quite soon to get a firm footing on the monotheistic Path to God unencumbered by heathen round-about wandering. Of great help in this respect was the thorough study of experience of major religious trends and schools. As our goal and Teacher we chose the Father-God (or in other languages - Jehova, Allah, Ishvara, Tao). And we received a guidance and help from him....

El Génesis ha sido un misterio por miles de años. No se había podido comprender de que hablaba el texto. Si era sólo un poema introductorio a las Sagradas Escrituras, o si realmente contenía información acerca de la Creación. El texto del Génesis dividió las aguas de creacionistas y cientificistas durante mucho tiempo hasta el día de hoy. Con este libro espero que esta separación entre cientificistas y creacionistas se diluya ya que he descubierto la clave que unifica ambos mundos. Creo que la clave del misterio de Génesis es comprender que es narrado por alguien. Un narrador del Génesis. El que observa la visión que Dios le entrega y a partir de allí narra lo que observa y lo observa desde su ubicación humana y terrenal. Esta ubicación terrenal y precisa es la llave para comprender el Génesis....

Era claro para mí que el Génesis era un relato real, eran hechos que podían haber ocurrido pero que estaban de alguna manera enmascarados. ¿Cuál era la clave?, ¿cuál era la piedra roseta que me permitiría interpretar la narración? La clave -descubrí-, era que el relato, el texto, era una narración de alguien que contaba lo que veía. Esa era la clave, ese era el tablero -por decirlo así- sobre el que había que montar las piezas de este rompecabezas. En el texto de la Creación existía un observador, un narrador. No eran sólo versos, no, estaba claro que era un relato. El relato de un observador. Al introducir esta variable -el observador-narrador-, todo cobró sentido. A partir de allí lo demás fue simplemente buscar las preguntas correctas: ¿fue una visión o una revelación?, ¿o ambas?, ¿qué tiempo le llevó la visión?, ¿quién era?, ¿dónde vivía?, ¿cuál era su ubicación? La ubicación, la ubicación era determinante. El observador y su ubicación eran las piezas fundamentales para comprender el relato de la Creación. Este libro describe el camino que debí realizar desde La Biblia hacia la ciencia en un ida y vuelta permanente hasta ...

Îngemănate Mi s a părut dintotdeauna că cele mai înalte preocupări ale spiritului uman sunt muzica și matematica. Misterul lor e totuna cu măreția lui Dumnezeu. Poate să existe ceva la fel de sublim? Ce e miraculos în muzică nu va putea fi pus niciodată în cuvinte. Acel tumult care ne aruncă în cer în mai puțin de o clipă, e în ea sau în noi? Ce tulbură sufletul până la uitare de sine, de ce vrea să fie beat de armonii și să nu se trezească niciodată, ce l face să amuțească și să se răsfrângă în tăcere asupra lui însuși, smulgând doruri nemângâiate din adâncimi nebănuite de tăcere? Cu ce simțim muzica? Nu cumva chiar cu urechile de pretutindeni ale Cântărețului la harfa cu corzile mai întinse decât stihiile cerului, care cântă partitura cu armoniile văzduhului nenăscut, în gama tuturor culorilor nevăzute? Dacă doar El se poate auzi pe el însuși? Poate singură muzica ne poate îmbăta sufletul de El... o bună prietenă a visat o singură dată o muzică... era o mână nevăzută care cânta la un fel de vibrafon... când s a trezit i a venit să plângă... erau niște armonii înnebunitoare... la limita minus infinit, clopoțeii lui Papageno, ...

The Genesis has been a mystery for thousands of years. No one had been able to understand what the text spoke about, whether it was just an introductory poem to the Holy Scriptures, or it actually contained information about the Creation. The text of Genesis divided the waters of creationists and scientistics long until today. With this book I hope to dilute this separation between scientistics and creationists since I have discovered the key that unifies both worlds. I think the key to the mystery of Genesis is to understand that it is narrated by someone. A narrator of Genesis. Someone who observes the vision God gives him and from there he tells what he observes and he observes it from his human and earthly location. This earthly and accurate location is the key to understanding Genesis....

Excerpt Details
It was clear to me that the Genesis story was real; they were facts that could have happened but were somehow masked. What was the key? What was the Rosetta stone that would allow me to interpret the narrative? The key, I discovered, was that the story -the text- was a narrative of someone who was telling what he was seeing. That was the key -the board, so to speak- on which I had to assemble the pieces of this puzzle. In the text of Creation there was an observer, a narrator. They were not just verses, no, it was clear that it was a narration: the narration of an observer. By introducing this variable, the narrator-observer, all made sense. From then on the rest was just a case of looking for the right questions: Was it a vision or a revelation? Or both? How long did the vision take? Who was he? Where did he live? What was his location? The location, the location was crucial. The observer and its location were the cornerstones for understanding the story of Creation. This book describes the journey I had to make from the Bible to science in a permanent back and forth until I managed to unravel the mystery. I encou...
