Life: spiritual

Toward the end of Tesla s life, unflattering articles were written about him, and there were innuendoes that he was involved in the occult. Money problems were never far away, and he moved his residence from one hotel to another, each one cheaper than the one before. His circle of friends contracted. Feeding the pigeons that lived close to his hotel became very important to him, and he developed an almost spiritual bond with them. 

In the Medicina Catholica (1629—31) Fludd explained that the way to conserve or restore health was through a righteous, prayerful life. The highest level of spiritual health was attainable through penitence and humility, virtues that were sacramental and granted supercelestial health. The apostles had cured the sick and had even raised the dead in the Name of Christ because the Name contained in itself all other kabbalistic names of God Ehieh, lah, Elohim, El, Sadai, Adonai. Jesus is a personal name, but Christ is invoked... 

As in the case of Fludd, Boehme s Christ was a metaphor for his own spiritual experiences and he employed alchemical terminology in order to describe these sacred moments of illumination. He regarded the purpose of life as being the effort to harmonise the oppositions within and without the human being, uniting them with God the Light. 

Despite these dissident Spiritual and esoteric contacts Boehme remained, in his own mind at least, obstinately implanted within the Eutheran Church throughout his life, despite his harassment by local ministers, most especially Pastor Gregor Richter and the local Church council. Tobias Koeber has recorded the events surrounding Boehme s death and funeral, providing eye-witness evidence of his reverence for the Eucharist and of his eagerness to partake of it on his deathbed. He had always participated in the sacrament of Communion,...

A fifth position on alchemy held by Wellby and others—though a decidedly minority one—held that the alchemists had indeed effected transmutation of metals, created the elixir of life, and achieved other medical feats. Some believed that the adept achieved the spiritual and psychic power to transmute metals using only mental energy. Members of the Alchemical Society, including Waite, generally dismissed this idea (Journal of the Alchemical Society 1913a, 32). 

Blavatsky s main polemical purpose in Isis Unveiled was to undermine the materialist nature of Darwinian evolution and to build a spiritual system based upon an evolutionary theory revamped to include the life force and spiritual goals. She defined the terms of her argument by articulating an emana-tionist perspective against an orthodox evolutionist interpretation ...
