On the Morals of the Manichaeans

Saint Augustine

Sinopsis

"On the Morals of the Manichaeans" represents Saint Augustine's critical examination of the ethical teachings and practices of the Manichaean sect. In this insightful work, Augustine delves into the philosophical and theological underpinnings of Manichaean morality, offering a rigorous critique of its fundamental principles and ethical precepts.

With characteristic rigor and depth, Augustine scrutinizes the moral framework of Manichaeism, highlighting its contradictions, inconsistencies, and moral ambiguities. Drawing upon his extensive knowledge of Scripture, philosophy, and Christian theology, he exposes the deficiencies of Manichaean ethics and presents a compelling case for the superiority of Christian moral teachings.

Through a series of incisive arguments and logical analysis, Augustine challenges the moral relativism and dualistic worldview inherent in Manichaean doctrine. He articulates a vision of morality grounded in the principles of divine justice, human responsibility, and the pursuit of virtue, offering a compelling alternative to the ethical relativism of Manichaeism.

At once scholarly and polemical, "On the Morals of the Manichaeans" stands as a testament to Augustine's intellectual acumen and theological insight. It offers valuable insights into the ethical complexities of religious belief and the enduring struggle between competing moral worldviews. With its profound analysis and rigorous critique, this work continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians seeking to understand the nature of moral truth and the foundations of Christian ethics.

The Spontaneous Evolution...

Bruce H. Lipton PhD

A Momentous Change Is Upon UsIn his groundbreaking book, The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce Lipton outlined the evidence that our thoughts are just as important as our genes in controlling our health and evolution. As the emerging science of epigenetics shows, our beliefs and choices can control our biology down to a cellular level. According to Dr. Lipton, this startling scientific insight suggests a major evolutionary shift for the human species is on the horizon. With The Spontaneous Evolution Experience, he reveals how the forces of history—including dangerous trends like climate change and overpopulation—are creating the conditions for a transformation so profound that we could soon become an entirely new species. As Dr. Lipton explains, “Just as a terminally ill patient can have a ‘spontaneous remission,’ usually following a major life change or change in beliefs, I believe that human society is now on the verge of a similar evolutionary healing on a global scale.” Over the course of three fascinating audio sessions, Dr. Lipton examines the beliefs that have brought us to this precarious time—and what new beliefs will give humanity the chance to overcome the obstacles of today. Join this pioneering biologist as he presents a bold and hopeful vision of the next, “holistic” stage of human civilization—and what each of us can do to fully participate as co-creators of the world to come.

Cyril Taylor-Carr

Aleister Crowley was born 12 October 1875. He was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life. Born to a wealthy family in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Crowley rejected his parents' fundamentalist Christian faith to pursue an interest in Western esotericism. He was educated at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, where he focused his attentions on mountaineering and poetry. Some biographers allege that here he was recruited into a British intelligence agency, further suggesting that he remained a spy throughout his life.
