Langford, "Pre-Modern Interfaith Dialogues with Special Reference to Nicholas of Cusa,: Medieval History Journal, vol. 20, no. 1 (2017), pp. 1-30 supplies interesting prototypes for the Aquarian Gospel's international conference of sages. Ramon Lull (ca. 1233-1316) wrote a book called The Book of the Gentile and the Three Wise Men, where a truth seeker converses with representatives of Judaism, Christianity and Islam (the Three Wise Men of the title). Later on, in Nicholas of Cusa's 1453 De Pace Fidei, in its three parts includes "a Greek, an Italian, an Arab, an Indian, a Chaldean, a Jew, a Scythian and a Frenchman... then a Persian, a Syrian, a Turk, A German and a Tatar, and finally an Armenian, a Bohemian and an Englishman. There is a Bon text known to me that includes a similarly international meeting of sages called the Rdzong-'phrang, but I guess I will go into that another time. Just it's interesting to see that there is a background for Levi's international inter-religious dialog.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-58705149050827235202009-04-24T11:22:00.000+03:002009-04-24T11:22:00.000+03:00Dear Anon.,

Yol Gorro (depicted with a turban, long hair and a very full beard) under the title "A Dweller on Two Planets," may be found in PDF format somewhere or another on the internet, perhaps in many places all at once. I tried reading into it, but lacked sufficient patience (it's very very long) and saw little to gain from the effort.<br /><br />Perhaps you'll have a different experience. We all do.<br /><br />But to look into it further, you ought to see the small book by John Buescher that he mentions in his comment, as found not far above this one, and look at p. 40. The book (or pamphlet) is surely available, but it may take a little effort and time to procure it. It isn't expensive.<br /><br />I don't think there is a statement about direct contact or socializing between Oliver and Levi (I could be wrong about that), but they very surely circulated in the same circles, with common friends and associates. <br /><br />The Phylos book has something to do with the New Age holiness of Mt. Shasta. If you achieve interesting insights on this, do let us know!<br /><br />Hope this little clue helps you in your quest. Do you have other goals in life besides this one?<br /><br />Yours,<br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-83957582730600803242009-04-23T23:01:00.000+03:002009-04-23T23:01:00.000+03:00Hi Dan,
Just a logistical question... You wrote: "...Hi Dan,<br />Just a logistical question... You wrote: "Reverend Dowling was actually living in L.A., and not in Indianapolis as I suggested above, having long left Indiana behind along with his minister's work with The Church of Christ, when he "transcribed" the Aquarian Gospel. Also fascinating to learn that he had an associate in L.A. named Frederick Oliver who channeled an entity who called himself "Phylos the Tibetan." This is wonderful news."<br /><br />Where can i follow up on this association between Oliver and Dowling? Where is it recorded?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />BLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-51054435670425497702008-01-05T10:42:00.000+02:002008-01-05T10:42:00.000+02:00PS: Just Schmoogled the internet and found the sub...PS: Just Schmoogled the internet and found the subtitle for Grönbold's book:<BR/><BR/>Das Ende einer Legende.<BR/><BR/>This does supply a big clue about his con-clue-sions, but as some people point out in their webpages, his book didn't exactly succeed in bringing the legend to an end. So it wasn't exactly prophetic, or at least not yet.<BR/><BR/>-DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-72981470746482858362008-01-05T07:20:00.000+02:002008-01-05T07:20:00.000+02:00Hello,The full research on which I based the lectu...Hello,<BR/><BR/>The full research on which I based the lecture you kindly linked to above, has just been published as an "occasional paper" (meaning, under separate cover) of the Theosophical History (Journal). It's available from James Santucci at the Dept of Comparative Religion at UC-Fullerton. It's called <I>Aquarian Evangelist: The Age of Aquarius as It Dawned in the Mind of Levi Dowling</I>.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>John BuescherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-88747289580040218182007-12-19T12:30:00.000+02:002007-12-19T12:30:00.000+02:00Hello Mr. Sz.,Thanks for that valuable reference. ...Hello Mr. Sz.,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that valuable reference. Given the author, I'd think the content must be very interesting indeed. I noticed another somewhat similar title in German, although people may not know it from the title that works just as well in English: M. Urban, <I>Jesus in Tibet</I>. This book was placed for paid download at Lulu.com. I haven't tried to look into this any further.<BR/><BR/>In Haifa for many years they have been celebrating a holiday combining neighboring Jewish, Christian and Islamic holidays into one. At least some people in that part of the world are getting something right.<BR/><BR/>Cheerful, compassionate and companionable futures all around!<BR/><BR/>Yours,<BR/>DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-58684443375570984412007-12-18T22:56:00.000+02:002007-12-18T22:56:00.000+02:00Hello Dan, Very nicely written, as always.

I confess I haven't read the whole book when I accidentaly came across it in Vienna and haven't seen it ever since, it seems to be quite rare. <BR/><BR/>And another addition to your festivities list: Festivus (a holiday for the rest of us) :)<BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays!<BR/><BR/>pPDSzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028181531501748621noreply@blogger.com
