The Temple of St. John is Open to Every Man

Can you give an attribution for that?

It seems to be applying the old neo-gnostic duality, creating two where there are one, and I didn't think Tomberg was subject to that. I am a great fan of Tonberg, but if we're talking about 'cognitive Christianity', then he stands in the shade of Bernard Lonergan.

Hi Br. Thomas,
I got the term "cognitive Christianity" from Tomberg- but I can't remember waht book it was in. It was probably in one of Robert Powell's....

Can you clue us in as to what "Cognitive Christianity" is exactly?

Hi Br. Dondi ( I assume you are of the masculine flavour),

CC is the doctrine that we can have direct knowledge of the Christian Mysteries- Initiate knowledge if you like.

Best Regards,
Br. Bruce

From whence does this knowledge come from and how does one obtain it?

For myself, I would say the exercises given by Rudolf Steiner for instance are a good start.
I mean people like Emil Bock, Valentin Tomberg, Owen Barfield and many others followed his system.

Max Heindel merely "borrowed" from it.

I mean, what we are talking about here is firsthand knowledge...

Good Luck,
Br. Bruce

And where did they get it?

Firsthand as I said. But also from other higher Teachers. There are some things you cannot discover unless you go to the first person who discovered it. That is an occult mystery.
