Meeting a Philosopher by Joscelyn Godwin

Books by Anthony:

Anthony left behind a variety of materials that merit publication, including numerous essays, a nearly completed book on philosophic symbolism (later published as Astronoesis), and a wide selection of recorded classes on how various spiritual issues are treated in different philosophical and religious traditions. Three books — Looking into Mind, Standing in Your Own Way and Living Wisdom offer an opportunity to come into contact with some of the ideas that were discussed in the classes.

Diagrams by Anthony:

If you had not studied with Anthony or if you have not read Astronoesis, these diagrams may appear to you like the Alchemical plates in the writings of Carl Jung or Manly Palmer Hall – amazing pictures with hidden meanings buried just outside the grasp of the uninitiated. Anthony’s diagrams also have meaning and can be comprehended in that there is an inherent metaphysical structure on which they are based. We hope in the future to help unfolded, shed some light on these diagrams before they become like the diagrams of Robert Fludd – images whose meaning escapes us. Here is an Introduction article to Anthony’s Diagrams/Mandalas.

Class Transcripts:

Over a 12 year period of time Anthony gave hundreds of class. Most of these classes took place at Wisdom’s Goldenrod but Anthony also gave classes in Columbus Ohio on a regular basis and he once visited Sweden where he gave a series of classes. Over 150 of these classes have been transcribed. We are working on the best way to present these to the public, but for now, here is small sample for your review:
