Perpustakaan Cahaya
Buku tentang cahaya, dihimpunkan mengikut tema dan bukan tarikh.
An Appeal to All that Doubt
Law berbicara kepada mereka yang ragu-ragu dan kembali kepada gambaran api. Dia mencari kata-kata untuk menyatakan apa yang boleh membangunkan sebuah kehidupan, melampaui apa yang dapat dihuraikan fikiran. Buku ini melanjutkan petikan hari ini tanpa menentukan maknanya bagi pihak pembaca.
Cari di AmazonCenturies of Meditations
Traherne memandang dunia dan mencari kata-kata untuk apa yang diterimanya. Laut dan bintang-bintang tidak kekal jauh; kedua-duanya mengambil tempat dalam caranya menjalani hidup. Renungannya membuka ruang untuk pembaca merasai pandangan sendiri.
Cari di AmazonMysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness
Underhill menghimpunkan kisah kehidupan yang mengarah kepada pengalaman cahaya. Perjalanan-perjalanan itu saling menyahut tanpa menjadi sama. Di samping baris Blake, buku ini memperlihatkan betapa cahaya yang sama boleh diterima secara berbeza oleh setiap orang.
Cari di AmazonPoems from the Divan of Hafiz
A fourteenth-century poet of Shiraz wrote these, and Gertrude Bell’s English keeps both of his habits at once: he means the wine cup and he means God, and he does not choose between them.
Cari di AmazonPseudo-Dionysius: The Complete Works
Dionysius wrote in Greek some fifteen hundred years ago and signed himself with a name that was already centuries old, which is one way of saying the light was never his. This volume holds all of his surviving work, and the long fourth chapter on light is where the portrait comes from.
Cari di AmazonRevelations of Divine Love
Julian menulis pengalaman peribadi dengan kata-kata. Kisahnya sampai kepada kita merentasi abad, bersama ayat yang berulang: segalanya akan baik. Buku ini boleh dibaca mengikut rentak sendiri, sambil memberi setiap orang ruang untuk mendengar apa yang menyentuhnya.
Cari di AmazonSongs of Kabir
A fifteenth-century weaver from Benares sang these, and for centuries they travelled by voice rather than by page. Rabindranath Tagore’s English is spare on purpose: it keeps the song’s shape instead of explaining it.
Cari di AmazonThe Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage
A fourteenth-century Flemish priest wrote this for people living ordinary lives, and he keeps returning to one image: a light that is common to all, and trees that stand in the same sun and bear different fruit.
Cari di AmazonThe Cloud of Unknowing
Seorang penulis tanpa nama berbicara kepada seorang pembaca dan kembali kepada cinta, di tempat fikiran tidak mencukupi. Halaman-halaman ini menyimpan ruang untuk yang tidak diketahui. Ia ditemui sebagai teks yang diwariskan, tanpa meminta pembaca mengikuti satu cara pandang.
Cari di AmazonThe Confessions
A bishop wrote this near the end of the fourth century, telling the whole of his life in the open and addressing it to God. He keeps returning to what can and cannot be said about light.
Cari di AmazonThe Divine Comedy
Sebuah perjalanan terbentuk dalam kata-kata Dante. Paradiso ialah bahagian terakhirnya; dalam Kanto XXX, cahaya dan cinta bertemu dalam satu baris. Puisi ini menyimpan jejak pandangan yang berubah sepanjang perjalanan.
Cari di AmazonThe Enneads
Dalam Ennead, Plotinus kembali kepada jiwa dan kepada apa yang meneranginya. Fikiran bergerak menuju pengalaman yang tidak dapat dikandungnya sepenuhnya. Di sisi petikan ini, halaman-halaman tersebut memberi lebih masa kepada pandangan yang mengarah kepada cahaya.
Cari di AmazonThe Fire of Love
A fourteenth-century English hermit wrote this in Latin, and it has been carried into English many times since. He spends the whole of it on one subject: what arrives when love comes uninvited, and how little of it language is able to hold.
Cari di AmazonThe Imitation of Christ
A fifteenth-century priest wrote this as counsel for ordinary life rather than for a cloister. He keeps returning to attention — to what a person can gather, and to how much of it arrives rather than being won.
Cari di AmazonThe Practice of the Presence of God
A seventeenth-century lay brother cooked in a monastery kitchen and wrote almost nothing himself; the letters and conversations here were gathered by others. He keeps returning to the same discovery, that attention can be held in the middle of ordinary work.
Cari di AmazonThe Revelations of Mechthild of Magdeburg
A thirteenth-century beguine wrote this in her own Low German over three decades. Light is her recurring figure, and she keeps asking what it does when nothing lights it.
Cari di AmazonThe Scale of Perfection
A fourteenth-century English priest wrote this as guidance for one person, and it has been read ever since by people with no cell and no rule. He keeps returning to what a person can actually tell apart, and to how little of it is settled by looking.
Cari di AmazonTheologia Germanica
Teks tanpa nama ini berhenti pada keinginan dan pada ruang yang diberikan seseorang kepada diri sendiri. Bab-bab pendeknya mengajak kita melihat apa yang berubah apabila ruang itu tidak lagi menjadi pusat. Suara dari abad lain, yang boleh dibaca oleh setiap orang dari jalan masing-masing.
