Produktbeschreibung
Before Paulo Coelho and Eckhart Tolle came Rodney Collin. A huge 462 page book full of essential knowledge. How To Become Supernatural Man, The Universe and Cosmic Mystery is an exploration of the universe and man?s place in it. Rodney Collin examines 20th-century scientific discoveries and traditional esoteric teachings and concludes that the driving force behind everything is neither procreation nor survival, but expansion of awareness. Collin sets out to reconcile the considerable contradictions of the rational and imaginative minds and of the ways we see the external world versus our inner selves. For readers familiar with Gurdjieff?s cosmology will here find further examinations of the systems outlined in by Ouspensky in Search of the Miraculous.
Autorenporträt
In 1962 the Shankaracharya was asked if the practice in his Advaita tradition was compatible with Ouspensky's teaching of the Fourth Way. He replied: "Yes, there couldn't possibly be any difference. He says that in his System, they take from all the three sources. In the system or 'Way of Action' they purify the heart so as to perform any action and yet be detached from it. The 'Emotional Way' is the 'Way of Devotion and Service'. With that an atmosphere within is created so as to serve the Absolute and receive His Grace. The third, Intellectual Way, is to make Reason work and clarify all the questions met with on the Way, and then if everything is brought together, we hope we are on the 'Way of Understanding', the Fourth Way." Within Rodney Collin's most relevant contributions, it is the emphasis on the idea of Fourth Way schools existing in different times. He says: "Schools of the fourth way have existed and exist, just as schools of the three traditional ways existed and exist. But they are much more difficult to detect, because - unlike the others - they cannot be recognized by any one practice, one method, one task, or one name. They are always inventing new methods, new practices, suitable to the time and conditions in which they exist, and when they have achieved one task which was set them they pass on to another, often changing their name and whole appearance in the process."
