Man: His True Nature and Ministry is a philosophical and spiritual exploration of the nature of human beings and their purpose in life, written by Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, a French mystic and philosopher of the 18th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on the true nature of man, his relationship with God, and the spiritual principles that govern his existence. The second part explores the role of man in the world and his ministry, which involves serving as a mediator between God and the material world. Saint-Martin argues that man's true nature is divine, and that his purpose is to realize his spiritual potential and bring about the transformation of the world. The book is written in a poetic and mystical style, drawing on both Christian and Eastern spiritual traditions. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of humanity and the meaning of life, and remains a classic of spiritual literature.Partial Contents: On Nature: Man, not outward Nature, the witness of Divinity; Marriage�������Man is God's book; Heaven taken by violence; man the mirror of God's wonders; The Universe in pain; Cause of Nature's groans; Birth of matter; Hypothesis of Jacob Bohme; Inhabitancy of Planets; Final Causes; Repose of Nature, the Soul, and the Word should come from Man; On Man: What is Spirit? man's origin; The Magism of God; Man, the continuation or recommencement of God; Door of Light and love in Man; How to attain God's Action; The Fall; Human institutions derive from above; Blood of clean animals; The Exodus; Law of Sacrifices; Three degrees of abominations; Mosaic law preparatory to spiritual law; Man delivered from prison of his blood; The Eucharist; Progress of individual man towards Canaan; The perfecting of our faculties hereafter requires sacrifice of all here; God's love and Man's insensibility; The work of the man of faith reacts on the whole tree of Man; On the Word: The Word sustains all things; The Words requires an apprenticeship; The true Cross; The substance of men's words; Power of the enemy during night; Duties, responsibilities, and misdirection of literary men; Religious literature; Gradations in Adam's fall; Demonstration of God and the soul; The sublime is God, and all that connects us with Him; Ministers of the Word withholding the key of knowledge; Desire, the principle of movement; Three degrees of the Word; Progressive names, states, and processes; Who should teach the deep things of God; Eternity in a point of time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
