Some Characteristics of the Interior Church, is I.V. Lopukhin's account of his exploration of the "inward spiritual man." Ivan Vladimirovich Lopukhin (1756-1816) was a Russian statesman, writer and philanthropist. He was one of the leading Freemasons and Rosicrucians in Moscow during the late 18th century and published many mystical, Masonic, and alchemical books through his "I.V. Lopukhin Free Press." Lopukhin was not only a printer and publisher, but also an accomplished author. The idea of a spiritual "inner church" was a prominent theme in many of his writings. Arthur Edward Waite, provides a lengthy Introduction to this book and analyzes Lopukhin's work and his contribution to Hermetic literature. The first Russian edition of Some Characteristics of the Interior Church appeared in 1798. A French translation was made by Lopukhin and published in 1799. A German translation followed. The first English version was published by the Theosophical Publishing Society, London, 1912. Scriptoria Books has transcribed this edition word for word from the 1912 English translation by D.H.S. Nicholson. It was then edited, formatted, typeset, and proofread through each revision. This book is not a facsimile, nor does it contain OCR interpreted text. This is a carefully created new edition of a classic work.… (mere)

LA IGLESIA INTERIOR

Desde el primer día de la Creación y hasta el final de los tiempos existe una Comunidad de la Luz dispersa por el mundo, pero gobernada por una Verdad y unida por un Espíritu. Se trata de la iglesia Interior, inmortal y pura, que ha de ser honrada en el corazón, distinta de la iglesia exterior, temporal y controlada por los intereses de los hombres.

Sin embargo, la observancia de la religión exterior es un medio para entrar en la verdadera Iglesia Interior. Muchos de sus símbolos y ceremonias representan las diversas operaciones de Dios sobre el alma del hombre. En este libro extraordinario, una verdadera joya bibliográfica, el conde Lopoukine desvela algunos de los secretos de esta Comunidad de la Luz que desde nuestro primer padre se esconde de las pompas y de la vanidad de este mundo.

Ivan Vladimirovich Lopukhin was an eighteenth-century Russian mystic, Freemason, statesman, and Rosicrucian. The title of his book Some Characteristics of the Interior Church ties him to his contemporary Karl von Eckartshausen. Arthur Edward Waite, already notable for his advocacy of Eckartshausen's Cloud Upon the Sanctuary among English occultists, furnishes an introduction to this edition of Lopukhin's book that is roughly equal in length to the author's original text. In it, he makes comparisons not only to Eckartshausen, but to Zoharic kabbalism and English Behemism.

This translation was produced by D.H. Nicholson for the English Section of the Theosophical Society, although the text will not appeal to many theosophical-style occultists, inasmuch as it foregrounds a rather conventional Christian piety, and goes out of its way to excoriate the "disciples of spiritual voluptuousness" (66) whom Lopukhin perceives as party to "the church of antichrist."

On the whole, Lopukhin's mystical directives are rather in the tradition of Molinos (The Spiritual Guide), although they are recapitulated through allegory that is more reminiscent of Masonic instruction. Nevertheless, Lopukhin abjures the sort of magic encouraged by Loyola's Spiritual Excercises, warning, "But let us be on guard against our own imagination, and refrain from making ourselves pictures and giving ourselves up to them" (93).

He presents a curious revision of a gospel adage, "The love of the ego is the root of all evil" (113), and he identifies the annihilation of the ego with the entry into the Interior Church, which is known under another figure as the City of the Pyramids. Likewise he points to the "pure disinterested love" which it is a task of the Master of the Temple to manifest.

Still, in keeping with the Gethsemane cry "not my will, but thine," he treats the human will as irreconcilable with the divine will, and attaching only to the ego, rather than to that true Self which the ego's personality limits and oppresses. Perhaps such a teaching was suited to his circumstances and his addressees. And while he points to attainment of the Interior Church as an ultimate reward, he also stresses that it should be feared rather than coveted, sentiments worthy of the angel of the 14th aethyr.
