The Adept Franz Bardon - Emil Stejnar

. .

Résumé :
With his guide The Path of the True Adept, Franz Bardon laid the foundations for the magic and mysticism of the third millennium. In plain, easy-to-understand language he described how to acquire magical abilities. Eyewitnesses who speak out in Stejnar's book confirm the fact that Bardon himself was an initiate who worked miracles. But what is magic? Who are the true adepts? And how do we gain access to the spiritual world? Franz Bardon pointed out the path, and Emil Stejnar - who has been critically examining Bardon's works for 60 years, and who is considered his successor in initiated circles - has followed this path in practice. His book illuminates Bardon's 'path of the true adept', as well as offering entirely new insights and personal experiences from the world of magic. Even if you aren't involved with magic, you can use this knowledge to shape your personality, your life, and the lives of others. Attaining magical power is not the actual goal of the path. Rather, it concerns the power and force required to purposefully develop your spirit and abilities and to utilise them successfully on all planes, including in your everyday life. Not all adepts work miracles. Adepts are people who do extraordinary things for the spiritual development and survival of humanity. ?

Biographie:
Born in 1939 in Vienna (Austria), Stejnar has been engaged in magic and mysticism since his early youth. Through numerous publications and media appearances he became well known at home and abroad. Next to running his own jewellery store he directed for twenty years the Institute for scientific destiny research and is founder of Gnostic Hermeticism, which carries the old Traditions forward into the third millenary. He is particularly concerned with Freemasonry and Astrology, as this is where he found the interface that links the world of the spirit with the world of matter, and thus the world of esotericism with the world of science. Stejnar is reckoned to be the successor of famous magician Franz Bardon, and he is mentioned in the preface of the new edition of George R.S. Mead's work on Gnosis Fragments of a Faith Forgotten next to great minds such as C.G.Jung, Mozart, Hegel, Nietzsche, Rilke, Kafka and next to adepts such as Jakob B?hme, Papus, Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley to be the last of the major gnostics....
