Stephan Hoeller's handbook for heightening consciousness is unrivaled for its clarity in explaining the ancient mystical Kabbalah in relation to the Tarot's Major Arcana. On the new enclosed CD, Dr. Hoeller narrates twenty-two meditations to guide the reader easily into a contemplative state.
Q: В час одиночества моей души, ты пробираешься к моей келье, о высшая красота и любовь! Я полагаюсь на ось и силу своего понимания, хоть я иду через долину одиночества к встрече на пике одиночества, я знаю, что мой возлюбленный ждет меня на горной вершине, откуда когда-либо придет помощь моя. Среди жизненной суеты я всего лишь одинокий странник, ищущий свою любовь. Паломник вечности, я иду среди звезд. (с)
Have just begun it, already know that this is a very unusual, deep book . . . many thanks for making me aware of it, Eva. Stephan Hoeller is wonderful. Listened to a talk he gave on gnosis this pm. Looking forward to the CD meditations.
Very interesting, but more or less falls between the two stools of Kabbalah and Tarot. Some useful information, but the basic, and historically unfounded, assumption of a link between Kabbalah and the origin of the Tarot makes the book idiosyncratic. Containing some lovely imagery and meditations, this ultimately seems more like a textbook, to be used under the guidance of a teacher, than a manual for self-tuition.
