Jacob Frank - Jacob Frank Jacob Frank, (1726-1791) was a Jewish merchant who claimed to be the messiah. His followers broke away from Judaism and created a new religion known as the Frankists, which was a quasi-Jewish, quasi-Christian religion. The development of the Frankists was made possible due to both the Jewish messianic movement of that era which agitated the Jewish world after the appearance of Sabbatai Zevi, the pseudo-messiah from Smyrna, and which degenerated later into religious mysticism; and also the social and economic upheaval in the life of the Polish Jewry.

Israel ben Eliezer - interruptions of city life, compensated him for his great privations. Development as leader and challenges Besht's condition was bettered when he took a position as a ritual butcher in Kshilowice, near Iaslowice. This position he soon gave up in order to conduct a village tavern which his brother-in-law bought for him. During the many years that he lived in the woods and came into contact with the peasants, Besht learned how to use plants for healing purposes and to effect wonderful cures. In fact, his first appearance in public was that of an "o r d i n a r y" Baal Shem Tov. He wrote amulets and prescribed cures. To his credit be it said that he was far from practising the quackery of his fellows in the craft. In.
Hasidic Judaism - ecstatic; and the soul of him who prays must during his devotions detach itself, so to speak, from its material dwelling. For the attainment of ecstasy recourse may be had to mechanical means, to violent bodily motions, to shouting and singing. According to Besht, the essence of religion is in sentiment and not in reason. Theological learning and halakic lore are of secondary importance, and are useful only when they serve as a means of producing an exalted religious mood. It is better to read books of moral instruction than to engage in the study of the casuistic Talmud and the rabbinical literature. In the performance of rites the mood of the believer is of more importance than the externals; for this reason formalism and superfluous ceremonial details are injurious. The.

G. I. Gurdjieff - at the American Hospital in Neuilly, France. His funeral was held at the St. Alexandre Nevsky Russian Orthodox Cathedral at 12 Rue Daru, Paris. He is buried in the cemetery at Fontainebleau-Avon near the grave of Katherine Mansfield. Timelines, facts and whereabouts regarding his early biography before he appeared in Moscow in 1913 are uncertain, fictionalised or have been deliberately obscured by him, though some believe that his text, Meetings with Remarkable Men, is an accurate account of his early search. Few doubt that Gurdjieff was a master of wisdom able to practice self-remembering, external considering and work on oneself ideas that are discussed in many of the works cited here. There are many eyewitness accounts by pupils and acquaintances of miraculous occurrences and super-human feats achieved in his presence. He.

Frederick Marryat - rank. He was back in England in 1826. In 1829 he was commanding the frigate HMS Ariadne on a mission to search for shoals around the Madeira and Canary Islands. This was an uninspiring exercise, and between that and the recent publication of his first novel, The Naval Officer, he decided to resign his commission in November 1830 and take up writing fulltime. Regular production soon followed, with his biggest success, Mr Midshipman Easy, coming in 1836. He lived in Brussels for a year, travelled in Canada and the United States, then moved to London in 1839, where he was in the literary circle of Charles Dickens and others. In 1843 he moved to a small farm in Norfolk, where he died in 1848. Marryat's novels are characteristic of their time,.
Fugue - short space of time, called "stretto" treatment of the theme. In the Baroque, this was almost always at the point where the fugue was reaching its climax of tension. The construction of a fugue is based on taking advantage of "contrapunctal devices" as JS Bach called them - places where an "entrance" of a theme or subject could occur. In each fugue theme, then, there is an implied structure of where and at what intervals the theme can begin in another voice. Bach was sufficiently expert that he could tell exactly what entrances could occur simply by hearing the first playing of a theme. Although fugues are often described in purely contrapuntal terms, tonally-centered fugues also manifest a fundamental harmonic structure (Ratz, 1951). As with most classical music, this structure is.
