The Living World, 4th Edition

ASIN: 0072977981

Book Description

This book describes the remarkable connections that exist between the classical differential geometry of surfaces and modern soliton theory. The authors also explore the extensive body of literature from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by such eminent geometers as Bianchi, Darboux, Bäcklund, and Eisenhart on transformations of privileged classes of surfaces which leave key geometric properties unchanged. Prominent amongst these are Bäcklund-Darboux transformations with their remarkable associated nonlinear superposition principles and importance in soliton theory.

Book Description

This book is devoted to a classical topic that has undergone rapid and fruitful development over the past 25 years, namely Bäcklund and Darboux transformations and their applications in the theory of integrable systems, also known as soliton theory.

The book consists of two parts. The first is a series of introductory pedagogical lectures presented by leading experts in the field. They are devoted respectively to Bäcklund transformations of Painlevé equations, to the dressing method and Bäcklund and Darboux transformations, and to the classical geometry of Bäcklund transformations and their applications to soliton theory. The second part contains original contributions that represent new developments in the theory and applications of these transformations.

Book Description

In the 25 years of its existence Soliton Theory has drastically expanded our understanding of "integrability" and contributed a lot to the reunification of Mathematics and Physics in the range from deep algebraic geometry and modern representation theory to quantum field theory and optical transmission lines.

The book is a systematic introduction to the Soliton Theory with an emphasis on its background and algebraic aspects. It is the first one devoted to the general matrix soliton equations, which are of great importance for the foundations and the applications.

Book Description

Systems governed by non-linear differential equations are of fundamental importance in all branches of science, but our understanding of them is still extremely limited. In this book a particular system, describing the interaction of magnetic monopoles, is investigated in detail. The use of new geometrical methods produces a reasonably clear picture of the dynamics for slowly moving monopoles. This picture clarifies the important notion of solitons, which has attracted much attention in recent years. The soliton idea bridges the gap between the concepts of "fields" and "particles," and is here explored in a fully three-dimensional context. While the background and motivation for the work comes from physics, the presentation is mathematical. This book is interdisciplinary and addresses concerns of theoretical physicists interested in elementary particles or general relativity and mathematicians working in analysis or geometry. The interaction between geometry and physics through non-linear partial differential equations is now at a very exciting stage, and the book is a contribution to this activity.

Book Description

The Great Initiates encompasses long centuries of human existence and reflects our greatest search—the quest for the spirit. This book describes the motivations behind external history, the growth of religious striving, the rise and fall of cultures, and indicates their importance for us today. It describes the lives and deeds of extraordinary human beings: Rama, Krishna, Hermes, Moses, Orpheus, Pythagoras, Plato, Jesus. The excitement of discovery which breathes through The Great Initiates may well explain its continuing popularity after over a century.

The Great Schure!.......2006-12-05

This is perhaps the most Noble and Grandiose account of history, culture and religion that exists in narrative form.

Edouard Schure is surely a Master. An Ever Inspirer.

No one I have ever read has been able to produce the same effects in my Soul than Schure.

Whoever reads this book with his soul will finally be able to see "The-All" like when one climbs the 9 symphonic mountains of Anton Bruckner.

This novel should be read along side Schure's other famous treatise "From Sphinx to Christ - An Occult History", (for futher details, clarifications and explantions not included in "The Great Initiates").

An insightfull and transcendent history.......2002-03-05

Written in a relaxed narrative, Schure rolls out exactly what he promises, ' a study of the secret history of religions',

Centered upon the primary charismatic genius of Rama, Krishna, Moses, Orpheus, Pythagorous, Plato, and Jesus Christ, Schure ties together a greatly compelling story of the history and manifestation of revelation and enlightenment in human history,

A great read.

A Theosophical Treatise.......2000-06-26

From the perspective of each of the religions whose founders are discussed, this book will seem to be very inaccurate, even offending. The reader should understand that this book is not religion or theology, it is theosophy.

Not that I am an expert in this area, but it seems to me that this book is an accurate representation of the beliefs of theosophists. The origin of the races, the meaning and significance of religious symbolism, the advent of individuals who could bring spiritual truth to mankind by a mystical process are all the tennents of theosophy.

If you are an historian, this book can provide you an interesting view of theosophical beliefs, at least around the turn of the 20th century. Likewise if you are a theologian. Schure's descriptions of the life and process of the great persons he covers is worth reviewing because they were mystical persons or at minimum practiced mystical religions.

A Theosophical Treatise.......2000-06-26

Tales of Mystery and Imagination.......2000-06-17

First published in 1889 in France, "The Great Initiates" (TGI) reflects the author's lifelong quest for spiritual truth along the myriad byways of mythology and esoterica. According to the book's introductory biography, the author had experienced a "divine vision" in the cathedral of Strausbourg as a young boy shortly after the death of his mother. Orphaned in his youth, he later dedicated himself to recreating the sacred drama found in the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece for the purpose of modern consumption. The efforts of this calling, the author was convinced, would rekindle the spiritual awareness of the ancient world in what he considered to be the vacuous materialism of modern society. It was from a subsequent series of "visitations" that the author embarked upon what became a ten-year literary effort, which culminated with his list of the top seven prophets of all time: Rama, Krishna, Hermes, Moses, Orpheus, Pythagoras, and Jesus. The author had been made aware of the common source of spiritual illumination disseminated through these great initiates, whose all-encompassing theme includes such doctrines as reincarnation, panentheism, henotheism, and the "divine spark" within man. However, this prosaic sojourn is launched from the shores of incredulity. Chapter One considers the origins of humanity "according to esoteric traditions" (p. 36). Human civilization first began about five thousand years ago with the red race, having thrived on the "southern continent [i.e., Plato's Atlantis], while all of Europe and part of Asia were still under water" (37). This ill-fated journey forges on, plowing through the rolling waves of implausibility first by redefining mythology, then by rewriting history. Krishna becomes the "first of the Messiahs," the "eldest of the sons of God" (p. 79). Hence, with TGI's treatise on Krishna we see a pattern of messianic similitude emerge through parallel accounts of the Gospels' Virgin Birth (Chapter 8), the Sermon on the Mount (p. 111-112), the Good Samaritan (p. 112), the miraculous catch of fishes (p. 112), a woman anointing his feet (p. 114), and the triumphal entry into the temple city (p. 115-116). Moreover, Krishna is seen as having volunteered himself to be sacrificed as a reconciliatory offering, allowing his foes to tie him to a tree and pierce him with arrows in the chest. However, as Hindu scriptures have it, Krishna was incarnated as the seventh son of a married couple named Devaki and Vasu-deva, and was killed by a hunter who mistook him for a deer and shot him in the heel with a magic-laced arrow. TGI's normalization efforts continue by making Moses out to be a blood relative of Rameses and an initiate of Osiris (p. 172), whose Egyptian name was Hosarsiph (p. 178). Upon emerging from a ritual-induced coma to expatiate the murder of an Egyptian guard, the reborn visionary took to the desert with his new name Moses which, according to esoteric wisdom, means "The Saved One" (p. 186). Although TGI does not care to enlighten us as to which language this translation stems from, we know for sure that it was not taken from the Hebrew, in which Moses' name means "drawn out of the water," which is precisely what Pharaoh's daughter had done when she adopted the infant Moses (Exodus 2:10). But never mind that TGI lacks linguistic finesse, for a true understanding of Genesis is at hand. Having been so heavily influenced by Egyptian culture, Moses had originally written Genesis in hieroglyphics, the language of choice for those whose intentions are to embed multiple and hidden meanings into their prose. Alas, all but the "shallowest" of meanings were lost through subsequent translations, and Moses' original intent can now only be meted out with the aid of Kaballistic decoder rings and a little guidance from the learned. On a more tangible note, esoteric history has it that Moses led the Exodus with little resistance during an opportunistic time when Pharaoh Menephtah was predisposed to repelling an advancing Lybian army (p. 204-205). While there is no record of any Menephtah, there was a Pharaoh named Merneptah (1212-1202 B.C.), son of Seti I, who had defeated invaders from the Aegean Sea and had desolated Israel in the process. More down-to-earth historians have it that the Pharaoh of the Exodus was probably either Amunhotep II (ca. 1446 B.C.) or Rameses II (ca. 1290 B.C.). Last but not least, the good ship TGI ventures into stormy waters as it reinvents Jesus to render him worthy of the initiate's crown. The pre-existence of reincarnated souls is promulgated through Jesus by taking John 8:58 out of context (p. 427). It was through membership in the Essene cult that Jesus learned the esoteric teachings of Krishna, Osiris, Orpheus, and Pythagoras during his young adulthood (p. 438). Forget that no particular reason is given as to why a person brought up in an orthodox Jewish home would not have reviled these pagan teachings, and would have embraced the apocryphal Book of Enoch with great enthusiasm, from which the Essenes drew their knowledge regarding the Son of Man (p. 439). And wouldn't you know it, just as was the fate of Moses' contributions to higher meaning, the deeper esoteric teachings of Jesus were lost to antiquity by the second-century compilers of the Synoptic Gospels. No wonder, then, that much clarification is in order; it seems that the heavenly beings observed by the three apostles during the Transfiguration were not Moses and Elijah as recorded in the Gospels, but the six initiates that had preceded Jesus (p. 473)! Cap these novel concepts with denials of the Virgin Birth, the bodily resurrection, and the Second Coming, and our final destination emerges upon the horizon before us. However, there comes a time when some passengers aboard a ship without sails or a rudder may want to consider abandoning ship and taking their chances in the dinghy, for the captain of this cruise is of the opinion that, in addition to the initiate Jesus, angels have the power to forgive (p. 460). Imagine that.
