The lord of the dance: An essay in mysticism, [Hardcover]

Anthony Douglas Duncan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1972

There is much in this book that with a brief and masterly touch reveals a vast insight into strange and little understood realms- the power lines that structure the inner earth the communion of saints so neglected by the churches the relationship of angels with humanity. The book is traditional in that it centers down upon the Holy Trinity and the Eucharist and yet revolutionary in some of its moral injunctions-most remarkably the calling of humanity to a life of active and daring communion with the living

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, February 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lord of the Dance: An Essay in Mysticism (Paperback)

This book brings forward many ideals of the relationship of the Holy Trinity in regards to creation and of man's relationship to the Holy Trinity.As well as the various meanings of light and its relevance to all that we know. I found this small, well put together book, intriguing and thought provoking. As I finished this book, I found I had many new questions and good answers to old ones. It was an excellent read as the author's others that I have read. I would suggest that any one with a curiousity in regards to the Christian religion, pick this book up.

I obtained this book on Gareth Knight's advice. The most important thing

I got from it is the exercises it contains. DO THEM. Do them as he wrote them.

Spend about a month on each exercise and see how you feel afterward.

I can truthfully say that after some 52 years if the esoteric jungle.

I found exercises that I can say:"If you do them you'll never be the same."

This review is from: The Lord of the Dance: An Essay in Mysticism (Paperback)

The beauty cotained within this book is heartwarming and powerful, both at the same time. It brings an understanding of realities, answers questions which are only vaugely hinted at in most works on this subject, and instills a sense of recognition of truths which cannot be denied. The Dance which the author speaks of is one of hope, of beauty, of life abundant. I came away with a new method of contacting inner realities, and with a sense of clarity about many questions I have wondered about since I was old enough to form my own opinions about religion and philosophies. It is a fresh and touching look that is based in joy and love. I recommend it to anyone that is interested in delving into life and the wonder which is within life, for it makes one look at the world and its future in a new and more hopeful way.
