The Cosmic ConnectionBy Michael From MountainsThis book is a masterpiece of 19th century esoteric writing; and well worth reading...deeply.Whether one believes in this sort of thing or not is irrelevant. The primary focus here is on a heartfelt search for meaning in the human existence; and the joy found in the ancient spiritual writings that are connected by a thread of enlightenment; a point of view commonly held by students of Esoteric systems.How much of the descriptions of the spiritual lives mentioned in this work comes from research and how much comes from the voice of the author's close friend and contributor; a seer; isn't stated; but again; that's not critical to the point. Seers answer to no man or woman; and readers must decide for themselves whether to lend credence to what they're reading; much of which is richly laden with underlying metaphorical complexity and esotericism .The focus of this great visionary's writing represents a look at the battle of the soul versus the intellect; and the struggle between the the world of the spirit and the world of materialism in the 19th century; when the scientific community was seemingly laying waste to one tenet after another of traditional religious beliefs.This work is a call to arms for the metaphysical belief system; a testament that there is; in fact; a world beyond substance that incorporates the spiritual world; a world that surrounds us yet remains hidden; and that this is a world we may freely tap into if we search for meaning in the traditional places of its domain and show the correct amount of reverence and discipline needed to connect with it.These searches; if one is inclined to them; are always well-worth the time for believers; and a total waste of time for the dubious.For those truly interested in spirituality as a all-inclusive universal concept this is a magnificent work. To traditional Christians it is a work of heresy. To the materialist it is sheer nonsense.For those who were truly intended as readers this is a vibrant and beautifully written and very reverent work that proclaims the continuity of the search for; and proudly expresses the true mission of the soul and the spirit; and the real; hidden; meaning to our existence.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. but for those who are looking for meaning and context behind the worlds great religions; this is your bookBy Stephanie GeorgieffI was told of this by a friend while doing research for a presentation on the Ark of the Covenant. I had never heard of this book; originally published in the late 1800's. It's depth and scope is basically breathtaking and gives deep insights into the evolution of spirituality and human consciousness. It is a bit dense; so this is not light reading for bed sort of material; but for those who are looking for meaning and context behind the worlds great religions; this is your book. So glad it is still in print; and this edition is quite well presented0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Wina SmitAmazing book!
