Andrew Harvey – RADIANT HEART
Twenty centuries have passed since Jesus first spoke of a glorious “kingdom” at hand. And yet for theologians, as well as everyday seekers, the question remains: What can we do to realize the full promise of Christianity for ourselves and for our world?
The answer, teaches Andrew Harvey, lies with the Christian mystics who used the life of Jesus as a spiritual template to become “like a sun, the source of abundant life, whose waves incessantly wash, infuse, and purify the cosmos.” On Radiant Heart, this scholar, teacher, and bestselling author illuminates the direct path to Christ, and the unlimited and all-transforming source of power that it offers to each one of us today, whatever path we are on.
Beginning with an investigation into the original practices of Jesus, and ending with a series of transformative meditations for opening to the power of Christ consciousness, Radiant Heart invites us to look beyond nearly 2,000 years of dogma and distortion to see the full glory of the Christ path, as it was traveled by Jesus and history’s most influential saints and mystics.
In 12 detailed and compelling audio sessions, Harvey offers a map for entering and experiencing the thresholds and mysteries of Christ’s life through contemplations developed over centuries of inner experience. From the first practices of the ancient Desert Fathers and Mothers, to insights into the Cosmic Mary and sacred androgyny, to modern examples of Christed beings including Thomas Merton and Bede Griffiths, Harvey examines what happens when we respond to Christ’s challenge, and open to the spirit of radiance residing within.
Here for the first time, in Andrew Harvey’s own words, is a full-length curriculum of meditations, prayers, and practices for plunging into “the living flame of love” (St. John of the Cross) and walking this path of revelation, power, and wonder.
What is Metaphysics ?
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility. It includes questions about the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter, between substance and attribute, and between potentiality and actuality. The word “metaphysics” comes from two Greek words that, together, literally mean “after or behind or among [the study of] the natural”. It has been suggested that the term might have been coined by a first century CE editor who assembled various small selections of Aristotle’s works into the treatise we now know by the name Metaphysics (μετὰ τὰ φυσικά, meta ta physika, lit. ‘after the Physics ’, another of Aristotle’s works).
Metaphysics studies questions related to what it is for something to exist and what types of existence there are. Metaphysics seeks to answer, in an abstract and fully general manner, the questions:
- What is there?
- What is it like?
Topics of metaphysical investigation include existence, objects and their properties, space and time, cause and effect, and possibility. Metaphysics is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with epistemology, logic, and ethics.
