Edward W. L. Smith Livres

Here are amazing insights showing reincarnation to be deeply and powerfully revealed in the Bible’s most fundamental aspects. How and why have these insights escaped attention for so long? At last, they are uncovered here by a confluence of conventional Bible study and the epochal spiritual discoveries of Rudolf Steiner. With particular emphasis on the organic provisions of the Old Testament, Smith shows both what the assumptions of the Master’s hearers were and how the New Testament confirms the ancient heritage. Arising from the fullness of the canon is an exciting story of the long journey of humanity and every human soul, each a “beloved sheep” whom the Creator is unwilling to lose. Combining a lifetime of biblical study and teaching, fifteen years investigating and contemplating Rudolf Steiner’s vast works, and almost three decades of applying the analytical skill required in an intense law practice, Smith has produced a potential classic the serious Bible student can ill afford to ignore.

If, ultimately, there is only one reality, then neither religion nor science can be fulfilled until they come together on a higher plane. In this second volume of his authoritative, anthroposophical commentary on the Bible, Edward Reaugh Smith shows that there is no difference between true science and the divine intelligence sought by true religion. The model for such a union of science and religion is the spiritual science developed by Rudolf Steiner. In this union, what the senses show us about the physical world―when keenly observed and allowed to speak for itself instead of being abstracted into theories―become images of the spiritual “As above, so below.” Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Bible, the author shows us that anthroposophy provides unique insights into the biblical account. David's Question is an important resource for anyone who to dig into the deepest meanings of biblical scriptures.

Exploring the psychodynamic theories of artistic creativity, this book delves into the insights of prominent figures like Freud, Adler, and Jung, alongside lesser-known theorists. It balances complexity and accessibility, ensuring that readers can appreciate the depth of these theories without getting lost in overly technical language. By honoring the richness of these concepts, the work serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and the arts.

Focusing on the essence of Gestalt therapy, the book features writings by Edward W.L. Smith, a distinguished therapist and educator, spanning nearly four decades. It explores key concepts such as projection, contact boundary disturbances, and the therapist's role, integrating theory with practical applications in the consulting room. Smith's extensive background in psychology enriches the essays, making them valuable for students and experienced therapists alike. His diverse interests, including jazz and poetry, add depth to his professional insights.

The Masters had ruled all space with an unconquerable iron fist. But the Masters were gone. And this new, young race who came now to take their place-could they hope to defeat the ancient Enemy of All? Jarvis Hilton is in charge of a handpicked team of scientists -- and a navy warship on a deep space mission, dubbed Project Theta Orionis. On the outbound journey, automatic sensors drop their ship -- the Perseus -- into normal space for an encounter with a mysterious skeletal object. The encounter leaves them baffled, and leads them to a view an epic space battle. But strange as that is, it's nowhere near as mysterious as finding a planet covered in radioactive fuel ore -- and populated with humanoid robots who have been expecting their arrival and greet them as returning masters. . . !

Based on a talk at the New York Open Center in 1999, this book on the identity of John speaks of Christian initiation in a new way―one whose time has come. What Smith has to say is both extraordinarily suggestive and remarkably conclusive. Covering a lot of ground in a way that is accessible, the author masterfully supplies us with a range of collateral materials that is always interesting and illuminates the larger picture. Because this small book began its life as a talk to a general audience, it is blessedly jargon-free and reader friendly. It contains both sophistication or bite while working a quiet but profound revolution in the field of study that it addresses. New Testament scholars as well as those concerned in any way with the future of Christianity ought to sit up and take note. Anyone seeking to understand the mystery of Jesus Christ and his “beloved disciple” will find true food for the mind and heart.
