Reincarnazione e karma. E-book. Formato EPUB Annie Besant - Edizioni Clandestine, 2016 -
QUESTO LIBRO È A LAYOUT FISSOIn questo volume sono raccolti due titoli particolarmente esplicativi del pensiero di Annie Besant, figura di spicco nell’esoterismo inglese.Nel primo si tratta la teoria della Reincarnazione. Milioni di persone di ogni continente accettano questa legge della Natura, emancipandosi sia dal ristretto dogmatismo religioso sull’aldilà sia dal materialismo che nega ogni possibile vita postuma. Da Zohar alla religione Maya, dall’antico Egitto all’India, questo testo fondamentale dell’esoterismo teosofico affronta il tema della Reincarnazione nella sua evoluzione storica e contemporaneaNel secondo, Annie Besant spiega il significato di Karma, illustrandoci gli strumenti di cui l’uomo dispone per determinare il proprio destino e dirigere a proprio vantaggio le forze della Na-tura.“L’uomo non è impotente e non è controllato da una Forza esterna che ci governa senza che egli si possa opporre. Il principio del Karma sostiene l’opposto, perché questa Forza, quando viene compresa, obbedisce e conduce l’uomo dove egli vuole”.Tutto questo e molto altro ci insegna Annie Besant, con la premura e la semplicità di chi si rivolge all’uomo e alla donna comuni, desiderosi di comprendere, conoscere, agire per migliorare se stessi e il mondo.Annie Besant (1847-1933) saggista ed esoterista inglese, ci ha lasciato insegnamenti di grande importanza e attualità. Prota-gonista di primo piano della vita culturale e politica inglese e indiana, è stata fondatrice dell’Ordine Mistico del Tempio della Rosacroce. Tra le sue opere, I sette principi dell’uomo (1892), La struttura del cosmo (1894), La morte e dopo (1895), La sapienza antica (1897), Il Cristianesimo esoterico (1901).

The whole ancient world basked in the full sunshine of belief in the immortality of man, lived in it daily, voiced it in its literature, went with it in calm serenity through the gate of Death.It remains a problem why Christianity, which vigorously and joyously re-affirmed it, should have growing in its midst the unique terror of Death that has played so large a part in its social life, its literature, and its art. It is not simply the belief in hell that has surrounded the grave with horror, for other Religions have had their hells, and yet their followers have not been harassed by this shadowy Fear. The Chinese, for instance, who take Death as such a light and trivial thing, have a collection of hells quite unique in their varied unpleasantness. Maybe the difference is a question of race rather than of creed; that the vigorous life of the West shrinks from its antithesis, and that its unimaginative common-sense finds a bodiless condition too lacking in solidity of comfort; whereas the more dreamy, mystical East, prone to meditation, and ever seeking to escape from the thraldom of the senses during earthly life, looks on the disembodied state as eminently desirable, and as most conducive to unfettered thought.
