O Zohar (O Livro do Esplendor)

Extract Info On The Book (from Wikipedia):

The Zohar (Hebrew: זֹהַר‎‎, lit Splendor or Radiance) is the foundational work in the literature of Jewish mystical thought known as Kabbalah.[1] It is a group of books including commentary on the mystical aspects of the Torah (the five books of Moses) and scriptural interpretations as well as material on Mysticism, mythical cosmogony, and mystical psychology. The Zohar contains a discussion of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, redemption, the relationship of Ego to Darkness and "true self" to "The Light of God," and the relationship between the "universal energy" and man. Its scriptural exegesis can be considered an esoteric form of the Rabbinic literature known as Midrash, which elaborates on the Torah.


The Zohar is mostly written in what has been described as an exalted, eccentric style of Aramaic, which was the day-to-day language of Israel in the Second Temple period (539 BC – 70 AD), was the original language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Talmud.[2]

The Zohar first appeared in Spain in the 13th century, and was published by a Jewish writer named Moses de Leon. De Leon ascribed the work to Shimon bar Yochai, a rabbi of the 2nd century during the Roman persecution[3] who, according to Jewish legend,[4][5] hid in a cave for thirteen years studying the Torah and was inspired by the Prophet Elijah to write the Zohar. This accords with the traditional claim by adherents that Kabbalah is the concealed part of the Oral Torah.

While the traditional majority view in religious Judaism has been that the teachings of Kabbalah were revealed by God to Biblical figures such as Abraham and Moses and were then transmitted orally from the Biblical era until its redaction by Shimon ben Yochai, modern academic analysis of the Zohar, such as that by the 20th century religious historian Gershom Scholem, has theorized that De Leon was the actual author. The view of non-Orthodox Jewish denominations generally conforms to this latter view, and as such, most non-Orthodox Jews have long viewed the Zohar as pseudepigraphy and apocrypha while sometimes accepting that its contents may have meaning for modern Judaism. Jewish prayerbooks edited by non-Orthodox Jews may therefore contain excerpts from the Zohar and other kabbalistic works,[6] even if the editors do not literally believe that they are oral traditions from the time of Moses.

The modern evolutionary view according to the authentic (from the sages) wisdom of Kabbalah, interprets the Zohar as a technology for people who are seeking meaningful and practical answers about the meaning of their lives, the purpose of creation and existence and their relationships with the laws of nature. [7][8]

Os Provérbios de Salomão

About The Author:

Solomon (Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה, Modern Shlomoh Tiberian Šəlōmōh ISO 259-3 Šlomo; Arabic: سليمان‎ Sulaymān; Greek: Σολομών Solomōn), commonly known as the Great One or Solomon the Great was, according to the Book of Kings and the Book of Chronicles,[1] a King of Israel and according to the Talmud one of the 48 prophets,[2] is identified as the son of David,[3] also called Jedidiah (Hebrew יְדִידְיָהּ) in 2 Samuel 12:25, and is described as the third king of the United Monarchy, and the final king before the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah split; following the split his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone.


The Hebrew Bible credits Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem,[3] and portrays him as great in wisdom, wealth, and power, but ultimately as a king whose sin, including idolatry and turning away from Yahweh, leads to the kingdom being torn in two during the reign of his son Rehoboam.[4] Solomon is the subject of many other later references and legends.

In the Qur'an, he is a Prophet, known as Sulaiman.

The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 texts from the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical documents found between 1947 and 1956 on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name. They were specifically located at Khirbet Qumran in the British Mandate for Palestine, in what is now named the West Bank.


The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include the oldest known surviving copies of Biblical and extra-biblical documents and preserve evidence of great diversity in late Second Temple Judaism. They are written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, mostly on parchment, but with some written on papyrus.[1] These manuscripts generally date between 150 BCE and 70 CE.[2] The scrolls are traditionally identified with the ancient Jewish sect called the Essenes, though some recent interpretations have challenged this association and argue that the scrolls were penned by priests in Jerusalem, Zadokites, or other unknown Jewish groups.[3][4]

The Dead Sea Scrolls are traditionally divided into three groups: "Biblical" manuscripts (copies of texts from the Hebrew Bible), which comprise roughly 40% of the identified scrolls; "Apocryphal" or "Pseudepigraphical" manuscripts (known documents from the Second Temple Period like Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, Sirach, non-canonical psalms, etc., that were not ultimately canonized in the Hebrew Bible), which comprise roughly 30% of the identified scrolls; and "Sectarian" manuscripts (previously unknown documents that speak to the rules and beliefs of a particular group or groups within greater Judaism) like the Community Rule, War Scroll, Pesher on Habakkuk (Hebrew: פשר pesher = "Commentary"), and the Rule of the Blessing, which comprise roughly 30% of the identified scrolls.[5]

Digital copies

High-resolution images of all the Dead Sea scrolls are now available online here. They can also be purchased in inexpensive multi-volumes - on disc media or in book form - or viewed in certain college and university libraries.


According to Computer Weekly (16 November 2007), a team from King's College London is to advise the Israel Antiquities Authority, who are planning to digitize the scrolls. On 27 August 2008 the Israeli Internet news agency YNET announced that the project is under way.[53] The scrolls are planned to be made available to the public via Internet. The project is to include infrared scanning of the scrolls which is said to expose additional details not revealed under visible light.

The text of nearly all of the non-biblical scrolls has been recorded and tagged for morphology by Dr. Martin Abegg, Jr., the Ben Zion Wacholder Professor of Dead Sea Scroll Studies at Trinity Western University in Langley, BC, Canada. It is available on handheld devices through Olive Tree Bible Software - BibleReader, on Macs through Accordance, and on Windows through Logos Bible Software and BibleWorks.

On 19 October 2010, it was announced[54] that IAA would scan the documents using multi-spectral imaging technology developed by NASA to produce high-resolution images of the texts, and then, through a partnership with Google, make them available online free of charge, on a searchable database and complemented by translation and other scholarly tools. The first images, which according to the announcement could reveal new letters and words,[54] are expected to be posted online in the few months following the announcement, and the project is scheduled for completion within five years. According to IAA director Pnina Shor, "from the minute all of this will go online there will be no need to expose the scrolls anymore",[54] referring to the dark, climate-controlled storeroom where the manuscripts are kept when not on display.[54]

On September 25, 2011, the Digital Dead Sea Scrolls site went online. Google and the Israel Museum teamed up on this project,[55] allowing users to examine and explore these most ancient manuscripts from Second Temple times at a level of detail never before possible. Developed in partnership with Google, the new website gives users access to searchable, fast-loading, high-resolution images of the scrolls, as well as short explanatory videos and background information on the texts and their history. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which include the oldest known biblical manuscripts in existence, offer critical insight into Jewish society in the Land of Israel during the Second Temple Period, the time of the birth of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. Five complete scrolls from the Israel Museum have been digitized for the project at this stage and are now accessible online.

"We are privileged to house in the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book the best preserved and most complete Dead Sea Scrolls ever discovered," said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. "They are of paramount importance among the touchstones of monotheistic world heritage, and they represent unique highlights of our Museum's encyclopedic holdings. Now, through our partnership with Google, we are able to bring these treasures to the broadest possible public."

The five Dead Sea Scrolls that have been digitized thus far include the Great Isaiah Scroll, the Community Rule Scroll, the Commentary on Habakkuk Scroll, the Temple Scroll, and the War Scroll, with search queries on Google.com sending users directly to the online scrolls. All five scrolls can be magnified so that users may examine texts in exacting detail. Details invisible to the naked eye are made visible through ultra-high resolution digital photography by photographer Ardon Bar-Hama– at 1,200 mega pixels each, these images are almost two hundred times higher in resolution than those produced by a standard camera. Each picture utilized UV-protected flash tubes with an exposure of 1/4000th of a second to minimize damage to the fragile manuscripts. In addition, the Great Isaiah Scroll may be searched by column, chapter, and verse, and is accompanied by an English translation tool and by an option for users to submit translations of verses in their own languages.,[55]

"The Dead Sea Scrolls Project with the Israel Museum enriches and preserves an important part of world heritage by making it accessible to all on the internet," said Professor Yossi Matias, Managing Director of Google’s R&D Center in Israel. "Having been involved in similar projects in the past, including the Google Art Project, Yad Vashem Holocaust Collection, and the Prado Museum in Madrid, we have seen how people around the world can enhance their knowledge and understanding of key historical events by accessing documents and collections online. We hope one day to make all existing knowledge in historical archives and collections available to all, including putting additional Dead Sea Scroll documents online."

The Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Project is funded by George Blumenthal and the Center for Online Judaic Studies, which first envisioned the project in order to make these manuscripts widely accessible and to create an innovative resource for scholars and the public alike. Dr. Adolfo D. Roitman, Lizbeth and George Krupp Curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Head of the Shrine of the Book, and Dr. Susan Hazan, Curator of New Media and Head of the Museum's Internet Office, directed the project for the Israel Museum, working in collaboration with Eyal Fink, Technical Lead, and Eyal Miller, New Business Development Manager, at Google's R&D Center in Israel.

A Corte de Lucifer

About the Author:


Otto Wilhelm Rahn (February 18, 1904—March 13, 1939) was a German medievalist and a Obersturmführer (First Lieutenant) of the SS, born in Michelstadt, Germany.


Speculation still swirls around Otto Rahn and his research. From an early age, he became interested in the legends of Parsifal, Holy Grail, Lohengrin, and the Nibelungenlied. While attending the University of Giessen he was inspired by his professor, the Baron von Gall, to study the Albigensian (Catharism) movement, and the massacre that occurred at Montségur. Rahn is quoted as saying that "It was a subject that completely captivated me''".

Work

In 1931 he traveled to the Pyrenees region of southern France where he conducted most of his research. Aided by the French mystic and historian Antonin Gadal, Rahn argued that there was a direct link between Wolfram Von Eschenbach's Parzival and the Cathar Grail mystery. He believed that the Cathars held the answer to this sacred mystery and that the keys to their secrets lay somewhere beneath the mountain pog where the fortress of Montségur remains, the last Cathar fortress to fall during the Albigensian Crusade.


Rahn believed it was possible to trace the Cathars, who guarded the Holy Grail in their castle at Montsegur, back to Druids who converted to Gnostic Manichaeism. The Druids in Britain were forerunners of the Celtic Christian Church. He saw that the culture of the medieval Cathar stronghold of Languedoc bore strong a resemblance to the ancient Druids. Their priests were akin to the Cathar Parfaits. The Cathar secret wisdom being preserved by the later Troubadours, the travelling poets and singers of the medieval courts of France-M. Sabeheddin, [Countermedia][1].

Rahn's SS service and death

Rahn wrote two books linking Montségur and Cathars with the Holy Grail: Kreuzzug gegen den Gral (Crusade Against the Grail) in 1933 and Luzifers Hofgesind (Lucifer's Court) in 1937. After the publication of his first book, Rahn's work came to the attention of Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, who was fascinated by the occult and had already initiated research in the south of France.


Rahn joined his staff as a junior non-commissioned officer and became a full member of the SS in 1936. Journeys for his second book led Rahn to places in Germany, France, Italy, and Iceland.

Openly homosexual, he was assigned guard duty at the Dachau concentration camp in 1937 as punishment for a drunken homosexual scrape. He resigned from the SS in 1939.

On March 13[verification needed], 1939 nearly on the anniversary of the fall of Montségur, Rahn was found frozen to death on a mountainside near Söll (Kufstein, Tyrol) in Austria. His death was officially ruled a suicide.

Rahn in popular culture

Rahn has been described as the inspiration behind the Indiana Jones movie Raiders of the Lost Ark,[2] although neither George Lucas nor Steven Spielberg has ever mentioned anything about his having inspired the film.


Rahn has been the object of many rumours and strange stories, including that his death had been faked, although all such speculation has failed to be substantiated.[3] He features as a character in the 2008 novel The Judas Apocalypse by Dan McNeil. In the novel, Rahn helps a fellow German archaeologist search for the lost treasure of the Cathars. He also figures in the "Berlin Noir" novel The Pale Criminal by Philip Kerr and Blood Lance by Craig Smith. In the Italian comic book Martin Mystère, Rahn fakes his death and joins the US secret service "Elsewhere".[4]

Richard Stanley, cult director of such films as Hardware and Dust Devil, also made a documentary about Rahn and his fixation on the Holy Grail called The Secret Glory in 2001.

Quotation

"My ancient forbears were heathens, and my ancestors were heretics. For their exoneration I collect the pieces that Rome left over." (Luzifers Hofgesind, i.e. Lucifer's Court)

Adolf Hitler - Génio ou Louco?

YouTube (original) Version of Above Portuguese Version:

The Other Three Installments of the Series (from YouTube...):

More Info:

The Occult History of the Third Reich, narrated by Patrick Allen and directed by Dave Flitton, is a 1991 four-part History Channel documentary regarding the occult influences and history of Nazi Germany and early 20th century Germany.

Contents

The documentary was originally shown and released in four parts in 1991.

1) Adolf Hitler
2) The SS Blood and Soil
3) The Enigma of the Swastika
4) Himmler the Mystic

Synopsis

The documentary contains mainly black and white as well as some color archival footage, with narration explaining the influences of alternative belief systems (occult, paganism, mysticism, etc) on the Nazi ideology and Hitler's personal philosophy. It also documents the history and development of ideas and symbols and of the eugenics movement.

In the early 20th century, the young Adolf Hitler was just one of many German-speaking people attracted by a new Germanic mythology that combined ancient legends and esoteric cosmologies with cutting-edge theories of genetic science. In the hands of the Nazis, the result was a new ideology that saw racial purity as the key to human destiny.

This was a belief-system of arcane rituals and potent symbols, with the ancient swastika appropriated for the Nazi cause. By the time of the Third Reich, Hitler and the Nazis had evolved an entirely new faith, complete with holy book, venerated relics and a priestly elite in the form of Himmler's SS. It was a religion based on obedience, power, and the cult of the leader, with Hitler himself conceived in Messianic terms.

Tratado da Pedra Filosofal e Tratado sobre a Arte da Alquimia

Sobre o Autor:

Tomás de Aquino OP (Roccasecca, 1225 — Fossanova, 7 de março 1274) foi um padre dominicano, filósofo, teólogo, distinto expoente da escolástica, proclamado santo e cognominado Doctor Communis ou Doctor Angelicus pela Igreja Católica.

Tomás nasceu em Aquino por volta de 1225 , de acordo com alguns autores no castelo do pai Conde Landulf de Aquino, localizado em Roccasecca, no mesmo Condado de Aquino (Reino da Sicília, no atual Lácio). Por meio de sua mãe, a condessa Teodora de Theate, Tomás era ligado à dinastia Hohenstaufen do Sacro Império Romano-Germânico.[1] O irmão de Landulf, Sinibald, era abade da original abadia beneditina em Monte Cassino. Enquanto os demais filhos da família seguiram uma carreira militar,[2] a família pretendida que Tomás seguisse seu tio na abadia;[3] isto teria sido um caminho normal para a carreira do filho mais novo de uma família da nobreza sulista italiana.[1]


Aos cinco anos, Tomás começou sua instrução inicial em Monte Cassino, mas depois que o conflito militar que ocorreu entre o imperador Frederico II e o papa Gregório IX na abadia no início de 1239, Landulf e Teodora matricularam Tomás na studium generale (universidade) criada recentemente por Frederico II em Nápoles.[4] Foi lá que Tomás provavelmente foi introduzido nas obras de Aristóteles, Averróis e Maimônides, todos que influenciariam sua filosofia teológica.[5] Foi igualmente durante seus estudos em Nápoles que Tomás sofreu a influência de João de São Juliano, um pregador dominicano em Nápoles que fazia parte do esforço ativo intentado pela ordem dominicana para recrutar seguidores devotos.[6] Nesta época seu professor de aritmética, geometria, astronomia e música era Pedro de Ibérnia.[7] Aos 19 anos, contra a vontade da família, entrou na ordem fundada por Domingos de Gusmão. Estudou filosofia em Nápoles e depois em Paris, onde se dedicou ao ensino e ao estudo de questões filosóficas e teológicas. Estudou teologia em Colônia e em Paris se tornou discípulo de Santo Alberto Magno que o "descobriu" e se impressionou com a sua inteligência. Por este tempo foi apelidado de "boi mudo". Dele disse Santo Alberto Magno: "Quando este boi mugir, o mundo inteiro ouvirá o seu mugido."

Foi mestre na Universidade de Paris no reinado de Luís IX de França. Morreu, com 49 anos, na Abadia de Fossanova, quando se dirigia para Lião a fim de participar do Concílio de Lião, a pedido do Papa.

About Frater Albertus:

Frater Albertus Spagyricus (Dr. Albert Richard Riedel) (1911–1984); founder of the Paracelsus Research Society in Salt Lake City, which later evolved into the Paracelsus College. Based on the Paracelsian concept of three essentials, Body, Soul and Spirit, Frater Albertus developed a system of teaching alchemical concepts using the spagyric technique of separation and cohobation. The unique gradated courses allowed students to explore aspects of the vegetable, mineral and animal kingdoms in an understandable and accessible way. Previous to this, one had to be a member of a fraternity or secret society in order to gain access to structured teaching. After his death in 1984, the college ceased operations in the United States but continued to carry on the tradition in Australia. Frater Albertus had a profound effect on the way Alchemy and particularly the Spagyric method was disseminated and understood in the mid to late 20th century. His works were translated into many languages.

La figure de l'homme primitif et son analyse


Carole Sédillot dans son ouvrage, " La quête du soi : les 12 travaux d'Hercule", Éditeur Dervy, 11 juin 2007, a mené une recherche de sens sur cette représentation, en particulier au travers de celle de Hercule.

Cette dénomination d' homme primitif est issue de la psychologie analytique pour désigner des processus psychiques inconscients, ayant une importance dans la vie psychique du sujet. Ces processus se nomment des archétypes.

« ... L'objectif de cet ouvrage consiste à mettre en parallèle, d'une manière nouvelle et originale, l'aventure mythique d'Hercule et ses 12 Travaux avec le fonctionnement du processus d'individuation initié par Carl Gustav Jung[1]. »

Pour rappel, Héraclès (en grec ancien Ἡρακλῆς / Hêraklễs), de son premier nom Alcide, fils de Zeus et d’une mortelle, est un des héros les plus vénérés de la Grèce antique.

La mythologie grecque lui prête un très grand nombre d’aventures qui le voient voyager à travers le monde connu des Doriens puis de toute la Méditerranée à partir de l’expansion de la grande Grèce, jusqu’aux Enfers, et dont les plus célèbres sont les douze travaux, qui ne représentent pourtant qu’une petite part de sa geste héroïque.

Il correspond à l’Hercule romain.

Selon Carole Sédillot le travail sur soi est une quête au cours de laquelle, le patient rencontre de multiples épreuves :

« ... La rencontre avec soi-même et son évolution s'accomplissent symboliquement par les épreuves, les affrontements et les victoires vécus par le héros, auquel chacun peut s'identifier. Jung a expliqué ce processus, menant à la réalisation du moi en Quête du Soi, en le juxtaposant avec, entre autres domaines, l'alchimie et le mandala.

La personnalité d'Hercule, demi-dieu qui gagne son immortalité, dans sa perspective humaine et divine, se prête à tout individu en recherche d'équilibre psychique et d'harmonie intérieure. Le parcours éprouvant qu'il choisit, en effectuant les 12 Travaux, reflète sa volonté de vivre l'expérience intime de la découverte du moi profond par la confrontation avec sa part la plus obscure, révélatrice des contenus inconscients.

La structure, les lieux, les animaux, les adversaires et les types de combats exposés dans les 12 Travaux s'associent étonnamment avec les concepts jungiens : persona, ombre, anima-animus, Soi... et offrent la possibilité de porter un regard différent sur l'épopée du héros et sur son objectif[1]. »

Pour rappel, l' homme primitif est présent dans l'animus principalement de la masculinité de la femme il est ce que l'on nomme un archétype.

Les images et pensées psychiques associées et à laquelle s'identifie la femme, tout entièrement ou en partie le sont au travers des positions intellectuelles, psychiques, d'émotions, d'actions qui renvoient inconsciemment à un modèle auquel il faudrait se tenir : un homme primitif ou en rapport a un homme primitif.

Cet "homme" est proche de modèle culturel tels que : tarzan, de l'athlète, de Dionysos ou évidemment : Héraclès (Hercule).
