MAN IBD

Sinopse

''Man: His True Nature and Ministry'' is a philosophical and spiritual work written by Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, a French mystic and philosopher of the 18th century. The book explores the nature of human beings and their relationship with the divine. Saint-Martin argues that humans have a dual nature, consisting of both a physical body and a spiritual essence, and that our ultimate purpose is to align ourselves with the divine will. He also discusses the role of ministry, or service to others, as a means of fulfilling this purpose. Throughout the book, Saint-Martin draws on various religious and philosophical traditions, including Christianity, Kabbalah, and Hermeticism, to support his arguments. ''Man: His True Nature and Ministry'' is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of humanity and our place in the world.Partial Contents: On Nature: Man, not outward Nature, the witness of Divinity, Marriage???????Man is God?s book, Heaven taken by violence, man the mirror of God?s wonders, The Universe in pain, Cause of Nature?s groans, Birth of matter, Hypothesis of Jacob Bohme, Inhabitancy of Planets, Final Causes, Repose of Nature, the Soul, and the Word should come from Man, On Man: What is Spirit? man?s origin, The Magism of God, Man, the continuation or recommencement of God, Door of Light and love in Man, How to attain God?s Action, The Fall, Human institutions derive from above, Blood of clean animals, The Exodus, Law of Sacrifices, Three degrees of abominations, Mosaic law preparatory to spiritual law, Man delivered from prison of his blood, The Eucharist, Progress of individual man towards Canaan, The perfecting of our faculties hereafter requires sacrifice of all here, God?s love and Man?s insensibility, The work of the man of faith reacts on the whole tree of Man, On the Word: The Word sustains all things, The Words requires an apprenticeship, The true Cross, The substance of men?s words, Power of the enemy during night, Duties, responsibilities, and misdirection of literary men, Religious literature, Gradations in Adam?s fall, Demonstration of God and the soul, The sublime is God, and all that connects us with Him, Ministers of the Word withholding the key of knowledge, Desire, the principle of movement, Three degrees of the Word, Progressive names, states, and processes, Who should teach the deep things of God, Eternity in a point of time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
