UPDATED BLAKETASHI LINKS
Sir Thomas
Browne was born in London in 1605, and produced several extended essays
and other works which reflect a clearly Blaketashi frame of mind.
Of his many works, we especially favor The
Religio Medici of Sir Thomas Browne, which may be read at:

We were
reminded by a reader that Whitman, back in the 19th century,
spoke about Sufism explicitly in one of his poems.
While Whitman is always the very exemplar of Western Sufism, this
poem is particularly laden, and is of great power.

And lest we
think that the insights of Blaketashism are new to Blaketashism, you might
consider this book, written in part about Whitman, some thirty years
ago…

One of the
topics discussed in The Workings of the Subtle Heart is Lectio Divina, which is a
practice of the Benedictine monks.
The following discussion is that of Father Luke Dysinger, who is a
Benedictine at St. Andrew’s Abbey.

There is a
work of William Blake that has always maintained a peripheral status
amongst Blake scholars, entitled The Everlasting Gospel. This
was not Blake’s name for it, and it is the creation of some of his
scholars, who have stuck together a number of scraps of Blake’s
works, along a certain vein, to create a semi-coherent whole.
So in some sense it is Blake, and in some sense it is not;
but the curious may review this work at:

One of our
correspondents has sent us a work about Living
from the Heart, which is put forth by the Lyricus organization.
It is a useful work, and we have been given permission to offer the
work here as a download; or
it may be also found at the Lyricus website.
