    Shabistari and Real Islam

    I have some questions and I predict that debates may break out when people answer them so I thought I would put them here to be safe and to allow people of all religions to chime in. Anytime you ask about the Real ____ (insert name of religion) debates usually start. I don't have the answers...

    Hermetic Christian Influence

    The past few weeks I've been reading the Corpus Hermeticum. It teaches that God is Father. That this Father had a Son who is the Word or Logos. This Word is thought to be a demiurgic figure who was responsible for the creation of the world. It also states that God alone is truly good and that...

    It's all just your imagination.

    It was a nice day so I had to take a book with me and go for a walk in the park. I'm good at not running into obstacles or people while doing so. I took "The Way of Hermes, A New translation of the Corpus Hermeticum and The Defenitions of hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius." Came across this...

    Jung "A religious outlook on life" ?

    I've been reading the book ,"Dark Light of the Soul", by the Jungian psychoanalyst Kathryn Wood Madden. It's primarily about the idea of "unitive reality" as expressed by Jacob Boehme in his idea of the Ungrund and Carl Jungs idea of the Pleroma. Anyways... I came across this quote from Jung...

    Patristic Consensus?

    I love the writings of the church Fathers but the more I read the more I come to the conclusion that there isn't a "patristic consensus" on much of anything beyond the most basic elements of the Christian faith. There may be schools or streams of thought that unite a number of the Fathers on...

    Martin Luther and Alchemy

    I was reading the "Table Talk" of the Protestant reformer Martin Luther and came across this statement on Alchemy: "The science of alchymy I like very well, and indeed, 'tis the philosophy of the ancients. I like it not only for the profits it brings in melting metals, in decocting...

    Hell

    For a long time I've found this one of the more problematic teachings at least in the manner it was commonly presented to me. Always felt more attraction to say Buddhist understandings of hell rather than the common mainstream "God hates evil people so he decides to torture them for all...

    Quakers and the Behmenists?

    I'm a big fan of Christian Theosophy in the school of Jacob Boehme. Been to a few web pages discussing Boehme and I've found the following statement at more than one so far: "The English Behmenists (followers of Boehme) merged with the Quakers, who then carried his ideas into the New World."...

    Judging Other People

    I'm interested in seeing how people in the various world religions handle the topic of judging other people. I just came across this beautiful quote from a 7th Century East Syrian Christian ( or "Nestorian") monk and it got me thinking along these lines:"The soul which bears abundant clusters...

    More Light :)

    Hello, I figured I would check this forum out. I'm looking for people who will put up with my long winded speechifying on religion. I'm a Protestant Christian with an interest in Christian Theosophy (Boehme, Gitchel, Pordage, etc..), mysticism, and esoterism. I'm currently searching for a...
