Alois Mailänder - From the perspective of his students, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Alois Mailänder (1843-1905) was a Christian mystic from the Allgäu, Germany region. As a spiritual mentor to Gustav Meyrink and over fifty other important contemporaries, he played a central role in the German Theosophical movement and beyond from 1885 onwards.

• Karel Weinfurter, who himself was leading student on a Christian spiritual path in the 1930s, reported on the significant things he learnt from his teacher Mailänder.
• The novelist Gustav Meyrink, who spent a lifetime practising and testing the inspirations of his teacher Mailänder, wrote about the results of his training.
• The Theosophist Wilhelm Hübbe-Schleiden, who made a significant contribution to the founding of a Theosophical Society in Germany, spent two whole summers in Mailänder's house and reports in his diary what he experienced there.
• The doctor and occultist Franz Hartmann introduced Alois Mailänder to the circle of Theosophists. He investigated whether Mailänder's methods could be further developed into a systematic doctrine.
