Quests Old and New is a collection of essays by G. R. S. Mead, a prominent scholar and writer in the field of esotericism and spirituality. The book explores various spiritual quests throughout history, from ancient mystery cults to modern-day spiritual movements. Mead discusses the teachings and practices of these traditions, as well as their relevance to contemporary spiritual seekers. The essays in Quests Old and New cover a wide range of topics, including Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Kabbalah, Theosophy, and more. Mead's writing is insightful and thought-provoking, offering readers a deeper understanding of the spiritual traditions that have shaped human history. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, mysticism, and the esoteric.All the studies or sketches in this volume are illustrative of the quest of reality, the search for truth, or the restless striving of the human soul for the satisfaction of its needs, spiritual or philosophical, mystical or psychical. The subjects are gleaned from the past and present, from east and west; and all of them, each in their different ways, seem to the writer to be of deep interest and great importance, even though some are little known and may appear on first acquaintance somewhat strange. Contents: The Way of the Spirit in Ancient China; The Doctrine of the True Man in Ancient Chinese Mystical Philosophy; Spiritual Reality in Progressive Buddhism; The Ideal Life in Progressive Buddhism; Some Features of Buddhist Psychology; The Doctrine of Reincarnation Ethically Considered; Some Mystical Experiments on the Frontiers of Early Christendom; The Meaning of Gnosis in the Higher Forms of Hellenistic Religion; �������The Book of the Hidden Mysteries' by Hierotheos; The Rising Psychic Tide; Vaihinger's Philosophy of the �������As If'; Bergson's Intuitionism; Eucken's Activism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
