Waynesboro, PA: University of Science and philosophy, 2006. 3rd Printing. Quarto. Fine / Fine. Item #13691
Beautiful 2006 reprint of Russel's classic 1920s religious, philosophical work, complete in original slipcase.
"In May 1921 Russell claimed to have experienced a transformational, revelatory event that he later described in a chapter called "The Story of My Illumining" in the 1950 edition of his Home Study Course. "During that period...I could perceive all motion," and was newly "aware of all things." Russell used the terminology of Richard Maurice Bucke in his book Cosmic Consciousness to explain "cosmic illumination." Later he wrote, "It will be remembered that no one who has ever had [the experience of illumination] has been able to explain it. I deem it my duty to the world to tell of it." Russell's supposed knowledge gained "in the Light" is the subject matter of his book The Divine Iliad, published in two volumes in 1949.
After five years Russell published The Universal One (1926) and The Russell Genero-Radiative Concept (1930) and defended his ideas in the pages of the New York Times in 1930–1931. He later published The Secret of Light (1947) and A New Concept of the Universe (1953).
Russell copyrighted a spiral shaped Periodic Chart of the Elements in 1926.
The Russell Cosmogony was described in his treatise, A New Concept of the Universe where he wrote that "the cardinal error of science" is "shutting the Creator out of his Creation." Russell never referred to an anthropomorphic god, but rather wrote that "God is the invisible, motionless, sexless, undivided, and unconditioned white Magnetic Light of Mind" which centers all things. "God is provable by laboratory methods," Russell wrote, "The locatable motionless Light which man calls magnetism is the Light which God IS." He wrote that Religion and Science must come together in a New Age."
