Hello and welcome.
Everytime I think or read "hello everybody" I hear that doctor from the Simpsons saying it in his cheerful accent. "Hello everybody!" :-)

Hey there to other members. I am currently reading (and very much appreciating) P. D. Ouspensy's; "The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution", which amazingly presents as a parallel (or should that be; 'precursor to') another (much later) book.  Time will tell I guess, but perhaps; so may further reading. Anywayz, thank you so much for having me on board, and no - this is not a case of the old Groucho Marx observation of refusing to be a member of any club that would permit (him) as a member. |

Hi there Tcejer, welcome to the board. I presume that question smiley you've got there implies you've no idea what that much later book might be? I've no idea myself, it looks like most of Ouspensky's works were actually published after his death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Ouspensky#Published_works_by_P.D._OuspenskyI got a lot out of reading his [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of_the_Miraculous ]"In Search of the Miraculous" [/url] Cheers, Peter |

Hey Peter, and thanx so much for the welcome.
The question smiley was a little more kryptic than it might at first appear, for I have effectively been in the process of writing the book for over a year now, to which I alluded in my initial post. I've written around half of it, but have for a time taken a sojourn to reassess which direction would be most appropriate for it to take. You can only imagine my immense surprise and delight just last week to have a copy of Ouspensky's delivered into my hands.
Because I have not yet finalised my book and also not completed my reading "The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution", is why I noted that time will tell as to how parallel the eventual result.
I will look forward to reading "In Search of the Miraculous". Sounds like a reasonable 'easter' read in fact - not that I accept easter.

Hello Tcejer!
Welcome to the forum.
That book of yours sounds very interesting.
What are you hoping to get out of spirituality?

Hey porto and thanx for your welcome as well.
However, I don't think I understand your question. It sounds a little like I've just purchased a new addition to my house and you're now asking what I'm hoping to get out of this extra living area. Yet spirituality doesn't work like this, for it isn't an aquisition as such.
Whether we realise it or not, we all have spirituality ALL the time. It is in fact the essence of who we each are - whilst we have 'life'. We make the grave mistake of relating to our physical self as 'me', yet this is nothing more than the mechanical vessel which carries 'me' around for 60, 70 or 100 (or more) years.
So for mine, the 'me' that my physicality conveys around the place, is NOT in the least physical - so therefore it is SPIRITUAL, or my 'spirituality'. I can be dismissive and diminishing and even destructive towards it on the one hand, or appreciative and fortifying of it on the other, but I sincerely doubt I can add to it.
So porto, in answer to your question, provided we're on the same wavelength; my hope is to recognise and relate to the fullness of 'me' - that is my SPIRITUALITY, in the spectrum of it's own authenticity. This process is about a removal/divulging myself of as much built-up grime - that is; delusion and myth from my overall reasoning as I can possibly manage, thereby revealing the genuine essence of the (non-physical) 'me'.
I hope this answers your question, my friend.

Hey there to other members. I am currently reading (and very much appreciating) P. D. Ouspensy's; "The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution", which amazingly presents as a parallel (or should that be; 'precursor to') another (much later) book. Time will tell I guess, but perhaps; so may further reading. Anywayz, thank you so much for having me on board, and no - this is not a case of the old Groucho Marx observation of refusing to be a member of any club that would permit (him) as a member. I was wondering around somewhat bored, stumbled on this. I had run across it earlier, some years (note the date), but it did not present to be a mystery, then, it did this time. At first I took Peter's answer (the following post after the here quoted one). But I wasn't happy with that answer and thought about it a while. And then I knew the book referred to was The Cosmology of Man's Possible Evolution. Ouspensky refers to it in In Search of the Miraculous pages 54,55, ".....I collected all the psychological and cosmological material in two separate series of lectures". I have a copy published in 1989, Agora Books (Great Britain). I presume that's the earliest publication, but these were lectures Ouspensky gave in the late '30's. I also looked through the Wikipedia article, the book is listed at the very end (it seems that is a listing with both books combined as one). If I remember correctly, all the material of The Cosmology of Man's Possible Evolution (collected in one place) is contained within In Search of the Miraculous, but variously scattered around. (Not that tcejer is likely to wander by again, but of course, Peter is still here). |
