Synopsis

In "Heavenly Hierarchy," Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite intricately explores the celestial orders of angels and their roles within the divine cosmos. Written in a poetic and mystical style, this seminal work delves into the Neoplatonic framework of the late antique period, intertwining philosophy with Christian theology. Pseudo-Dionysius employs a rich symbolic language that invites readers to contemplate the complexities of the divine empires and their influences on the earthly realm, effectively bridging the gap between the transcendent and immanent experience of spirituality. Pseudo-Dionysius, a fourth-century Christian theologian and philosopher, was heavily influenced by the writings of Plato and Plotinus, which permeate his theological discourse. His works were pivotal in the development of medieval philosophy and Christian mysticism, revealing a profound understanding of mystical union with God. The synthesis of Hellenistic thought and early Christian doctrine in "Heavenly Hierarchy" reflects his aim to articulate a systematic view of the heavenly realm, shedding light on the structure and purpose of divine beings. This text is highly recommended for both scholars and casual readers of theology and philosophy. "Heavenly Hierarchy" provides valuable insights into the interplay of spirituality and metaphysics, making it an essential resource for understanding the early roots of Christian angelology and the hierarchical model of the heavenly realm.

    ‘Tarawih’ (Arabic) comes from the root word that means to take a rest, and take rest I did.Notes After Terawih is a series of word sketches I drew based on my distracted observation during night prayers, or terawih prayers, done in a single mosque during Ramadhan. Thousands of us here in Singapore engage in terawih for thirty nights in a row – that’s a huge multitude of experiences. Yet, all these experiences are tucked within the walls of the mosque and ultimately remain in Ramadhan... As a new kid in this terawih thing, I decided to take some notes. None of these were written on the spot. Instead, they were recalled and typed on my phone as I headed home for the night.

    Kindness is often seen as a simple and basic concept, yet it holds immense power in transforming lives. At its core, kindness is the act of being considerate and generous without expecting anything in return. However, its effects extend far beyond the immediate gesture. Research has shown that kindness has a direct influence on mental and physical well-being, not only for the giver but also for the receiver. When we show kindness, whether through small acts like offering a smile or through more profound actions like supporting a loved one in need, we are engaging in a form of healing. The energy we radiate through kindness has the ability to uplift others, create positive connections, and promote emotional growth. 
    The power of kindness is rooted in its ability to create a ripple effect. When someone experiences an act of kindness, it often inspires them to pass it on to others. This chain reaction can spread far and wide, creating a compassionate network that has the potential to change communities and even societies. Kindness has the unique ability to bridge divides and bring people together, creating a sense of unity and understanding. 
    Moreover, studies have shown that kindness has tangible benefits for our own well-being. Acts of kindness activate the brain’s reward system, releasing endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones. This not only boosts mood but also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, when we engage in acts of kindness, we experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment, contributing to a more meaningful life. This emotional uplift can even improve our physical health, as acts of kindness lower blood pressure and enhance heart health by reducing stress levels.

    “If you really want to learn the basic principles of practical alchemy, Frater Albertus’ Alchemist’s Handbook is literally is worth its weight in gold.”—from the foreword by Israel Regardie, author of The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Hermetic OrderThe Alchemist's Handbook has long been considered a modern-day classic on the actual practice of alchemy since its first publication in 1960. The book still stands as a groundbreaking work presenting in clear, concise language a practical manual of working knowledge that was formerly handed down only under oath of secrecy.The scope of alchemical work is to provide both a means to synthesize all the other sciences and the necessary training of the intellectual and spiritual faculties. “Hermetic philosophy, with its practical arcanum,” writes Frater Albertus, “repeats itself over and over again in the ancient axiom ‘As above, so below. As below, so above.’"The Alchemist's Handbook discusses in detail:The basic fundamental principles of alchemy.A guide to the formation of an inexpensive home laboratory with illustrations of the necessary equipment.Step-by-step instructions for the work of the Lesser Circulation, the alchemical transformation within the plant kingdom.  “The teachings of Frater Albertus are part of a lineage that traces back to Rosicrucian sources and much earlier and The Alchemist’s Handbook is still the best introduction to that lineage. If you feel the call of Alchemy and want real information on the subject, this is definitely the book you will want to read, reread, and read again. It may just turn out to be the book that changes your life.”—From the foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical AlchemyFirst published by Weiser Books in 1974, this new Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy.
