The Meaning of Love

"Solovyov's book, I would dare say, IS the philosophy of love. Solovyov's arguments are engaging, to say the least: engaging the intellect, but also the depths of the reader's being. You can't say that about many books. The highest praise I can offer is that The Meaning of Love is the only modern book I know of that is worthy of its subject in every respect."-David Fiedler, Gnosis Magazine "The meaning and worth of love as a feeling is that it really forces us, with all our being, to acknowledge for another the same absolute significance that, because of the power of egoism, we are conscious of only in our own selves. Love is important, not only as one of our feelings but as the transfer of all our interest in life from ourselves to another, as the shifting of the very center of our lives.... " "The meaning of human love, speaking generally, is the justification and salvation of individuality through the sacrifice of egoism. On this general basis we can also ... explain the meaning of sexual love" (Vladimir Solovyov) What is the meaning of love's intense emotion? Solovyov points to the spark of divinity that we see in another human being and shows how this "living ideal of Divine love, antecedent to our love, contains in itself the secret of the idealization of our love." According to Solovyov, love between men and women has a key role to play in the mystical transfiguration of the world. Love, which allows one person to find unconditional completion in another, becomes an evolutionary strategy for overcoming cosmic disintegration.

Kühlewind, Georg

A classic historical excursion through the English language. Owen Barfield's original and thought-provoking works over three-quarters of a century made him a legendary cult figure. This popular book provides a brief, brilliant history of those who have spoken the Indo-European tongues. It is illustrated throughout by current English words - whose derivation from other languages, whose history in use and changes of meaning - record and unlock the larger history.

Barfield, Owen

How much practical time do we usually devote to the general art of being human? This practical guide to the self-healing of consciousness―it is both a spiritual psychology and a contemporary manual of the inner life―begins by laying out very clearly the unhealthy, unfree nature of today's consciousness.  Methodical self-observation leads to discovering the key to the liberating consciousness from its habitual blind spots and automatisms: the realization of the universal primacy of cognition and the universal availability of its ground, the free attention.  Through attention, a person who practices the author's exercises begins to expand the range of his or her possibilities of understanding and doing. The exercises―based on the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path and Rudolf Steiner's cognitive spiritual path―lead to a new life in which superconscious intuitions gradually take the place of superconscious formations.  This new life is a universal human life of improvisatory, living thinking: a life of presence, pure joy, which is health for human beings.  Contents:  1. Inventory 2. The Diseased Consciousness 3.

In these poems, the poet's imaginative vision comes full circle. The interpenetration of the world of nature and the human world is seen with the naked wonder of the child, but bearing the weight of human experience through a distillation of the poet's thought and sensibility. These poems celebrate the power of the hidden mystery, that intangible dimension, without which there is no relationship with the reality of appearances.

Matanovič, Milenko

Barfield had written the verse drama Orpheus in the 1930s, partly at the suggestion of C.S. Lewis. The play was performed only once, in 1948, and remained buried in Barfield’s papers until John Ulreich, Jr., of the University of Arizona was tantalized by Barfield’s allusions to it and disinterred it. He saw it through to publication in 1983 and wrote the introduction, in which he rightly praises Orpheus as "the evolution of consciousness made flesh, the thing itself in human form, the myth made fact as imaginative experience."
