Question

Summary of the mystical Japan by Christina Whitt

Answer 1

In Chapter 1 we established the nature of Mysticism and made a distinction between theistic and monistic Mysticism and examined mystical experience. This was the experience of the numinous and the ultimate aim of the devotee in the experience.
We looked at the Greek influence on the origins of Christian Mysticism. Chief in this was an examination of Philo, a Hellenised Jew writing from Alexandria, and Plotinus. There are many elements of asceticism on Greek systems and not the least of these was Pythagoras. These aspects are also examined in detail in Cox, Vegetarianism in the Bible (No. 183). We will pursue these aspects further in Volume 2.
Mysticism was seen to have spread over the entire globe. It was aligned to Animistic Shamanism in the nomadic systems and with the Triune God and its systems in the sedentary. We examined the concept of the mystical ascent over the seven, nine and other levels and what they represented.
We also saw that there was a development in this process in medieval times, which was to also profoundly affect Christianity.
The Eastern Indo-Aryan Shamanism became a predominant form. It affected the concepts of the Indo-Aryan Religion and Eastern Mystical Ascent to union with the god.
We saw this system go into the Pacific and the Australian Aborigines. We will further examine the origins of these people and their religions when we look at the Origin of Nations in Volume 2.
We then looked at tracing the path of this system and its common themes over the continents.
In Chapter 2 we saw the basis of the Egyptian system of gods and how they came into conflict with the Semitic system from Shem, through the sons of Israel and the resultant Exodus under Moses.
In that text, we also looked at the symbolism of the life of Moses and the periods involved for the world system. We saw the plagues of Egypt and how they symbolised a judgment of the Egyptian Pantheon.
The Pillar of Fire and Cloud, as the Presence of the Angel of Yahovah, as the Face of God, was to establish a legal system in Israel. It was also to create a fundamental divergence from the mystical system of the world that had been established from Babylon, and which had entered Egypt and subsequently the world systems.
In Chapter 3 we examined the Golden Calf that represented the system of the Triune God, in and from Egypt, and also its expression as the system of Astarte or Istar, or Easter and also Moloch and the other names by which this deity was known. This set the scene then, against which we were to explain the Bible exposition of Judeo-Christianity, the Nature of God and the process by which the Bible said God was dealing with humanity. This was quite different from, and specifically at odds with the Babylonian system of the Mysteries so clearly condemned by the Bible, and from which Abraham had been called some centuries earlier.
In Chapter 4 we were able to identify the original system of Judeo-Christianity. We identified how God is One, and how Eloah was to extend Himself to become Elohim. We looked at the plurality of the elohim, how they were a council as the Sons of God and not a Triune structure as came to be asserted in Christianity from the Mystery cults.
We examined the Spirit of man, the Angelic order, the original schema or cosmology for the plan of salvation and the reconciliation of man to God.
We looked at creation and the place of the Logos doctrine in that plan.
We then saw the effect of the Mystery cults and schema on the doctrines of Christianity, from the second to the sixth centuries and the subsequent wars in Christianity. This matter will be taken up further in Volume 2.
We looked at the concepts of God in the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries, and how those altered doctrines gave rise to Islam in the seventh century.
In Chapter 5 we summarised the religious history and Arab beliefs to the birth of Islam. We examined the traditional dispositions and power of the tribes and nations.
