The Book on Prayer Very few in our day still know from personal experience what real prayer truly has the power to effect. True Prayer lifts a Jacobs Ladder within the human self, where then it rises up into the inmost will of primal Being. And this celestial ladder lets the spirits hierarchies bring down the light that shines through the Eternities into the consciousness of human souls on earth
Bo Yin Ra
Bo Yin Ra is the spiritual proper name of the author and artist Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken(1876-1943).He was born in Aschaffenburg,Germany, and died in Massagno/Lugano,Switzerland, where he had lived since 1925. His formal education as a painter began at the Staedel Art Institute in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, and then took him to Vienna,Munich, and Paris. The literary legacy of Bo Yin Ra includes forty titles, published between 1919 and 1939, in Germany and Switzerland.Thirty-two of these works comprise a closely related cycle which the author gathered under the title of Hortus Conclusis(The Enclosed Garden).In his books he addresses questions and concerns that, in the language of religion and philosophy, pertain to final things-the mysteries of mortal and eternal life, of God, the origin and goal of human existence- and gives advice on how one ought to live this present life to lay up treasures in the life to come. What sets these books apart from other writings on these topics is their author`s apart from other writings on these topics is their author`s background and horizon.Thus, he does not give the reader the results of learned thinking, speculations, and beliefs, nor any new religion, but should instead be used as maps that guide the reader safely through the labyrinth of this existence to the goal that every spiritually concerns human beings finally desires to attain.
