CEREMONIAL MAGIC AND MYTH - Bô Yin Râ
Bô Yin Râ takes us back before the dawn of time to reveal the origins of the great myths and rituals our ancestors created to grapple with the mysteries of existence on earth.
Sweeping forward to the present day, he beckons us to regard these mythic stories and practices with renewed respect: as a means to reconnect with the celestial realm that is our soul's original home.
Human beings can only reach the divine through the external world of which we are a part: this is the true meaning of magic. Every thought, word, and action in our everyday lives can become an instrument for bringing about that magical return. Sacred ceremonies, in particular, have the ability to awaken inner life and "unite heaven and earth."
Bô Yin Râ tells us that we are moving into a new epoch in which human beings will no longer need stories and ceremonies as vessels for those energies our distant ancestors could not unite within themselves and so had to attribute to gods. In the future, a more mature humanity will be able to recognize the essence of the eternal Spirit through direct experience.
Contents:Preface. Humanity's Creative Works. Myth and Reality. Myth and Ritual. Ritual as a Form of Magic. Magic and Spiritual Cognition. The Inner Light. Conclusions One Should Draw.
The Kober Press publishes the only English translations of the books of Bô Yin Râ authorized by the Kober Verlag, Switzerland. The Kober Verlag publishes the books of Bô Yin Râ in the original German and has protected their integrity since the author's lifetime.
