Il-Kotba ta' L-Awtur Anton Sammut


The Philosophy of Cosmic Spirituality (2014)                                   written, edited and published by Anton Sammut (200 pages) (2014)


What did the ancient philosophers in Classical Greece think about God? Why was their concept so different from that which many of us uphold today? What do the sacred Eastern books and Eastern philosophers have to say in this regard? What exactly are Brahmanism and Taoism? What are karma, eternal recurrence, reincarnation and free will? What is the human consciousness? What were the Buddha’s teachings and how did his teachings influence the spiritual formation of Jesus?

These are some of the questions which we will try to answer in this book, with the helping hand of scientific theories and historical facts which will strengthen the fact that in spite of the many extant religions and philosophies, cosmic spirituality will always be one and common to all; a cosmic spirituality that was taught by Buddha, Jesus and the greatest spiritual teachers of all time.

Anton Sammut



“In this philosophical treatise, author Anton Sammut investigates The Philosophy of Cosmic Spirituality, acting as an eye-opener to this age-old concept. In a very clear and quite new approach, this book therefore leads us to better understand the fact that man forms part of mankind everywhere and forever; and that in any dimension – even in a philosophical-spiritual one – he faces the same dilemmas and questions which shape the culture in which he lives. Consequently it goes without saying that in this work, Sammut does not limit himself only to spiritual and philosophical traditions of the West, but also roams further afield and looks at the Far East, to spiritual and philosophical traditions which are far older than those usually explored in Western traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, which emphasise that their roots are indeed found in this cosmic law which gives birth to all beliefs which base themselves on the good. Therefore, from this aspect, I must thank wholeheartedly all those who, like Mr Anton Sammut, create awareness of this recognition which is truly unique in the environment we find ourselves living today.”

Il-Filosofija tal-Ispiritwalità Kożmika (2013)
Kitba, editjar u publikazzjoni ta' Anton Sammut (200 paġna) (2013)



X’kienu jaħsbu l-filosfi tal-Greċja Klassika fuq Alla jew l-Assolut? Għaliex dan il-kunċett ta’ Alla kien tant differenti minn dak li ħafna minna nifhmu bih illum? X’jgħidulna l-kotba sagri u l-filosfi tal-Orjent fuq dan ir-rigward? X’inhu l-Brahman u t-Tao? X’inhi l-karma, ir-rikorrenza eterna, ir-rinkarnazzjoni, u l-Konoxxenza tal-Bniedem? X’għallem il-Budda fil-verità, u kemm affettwa t-tagħlim tiegħu fuq il-formazzjoni spiritwali ta’ Ġesù?


Dawn huma xi wħud mill-mistoqsijiet li f’dan il-ktieb se nippruvaw nirrisponduhom anki b’daqqa t’id tax-xjenza li għandna llum, li permezz tagħha se tkompli tgħinna nirrealizzaw, li għalkemm fid-dinja jeżistu ħafna reliġjonijiet u filosofiji differenti, teżisti verament spiritwalità waħda u komuni għal kulħadd; Spiritwalità Kożmika, li fost oħrajn għallmuha l-Budda, Ġesù ta’ Nazaret, u nies kbar oħrajn.

Meta fis-sena 2011 ħriġt il-ktieb tiegħi, In-Naħa l-Oħra tal-Istorja Ġudeo-Kristjana, fejn eventwalment sena wara ħareġ bl-Ingliż, bl-isem, The Other Side of the Judeo-Christian History, ma kellix ħjiel kif kien se jintlaqa’ xogħol kontroversjali bħal dan. Dan għaliex kif wieħed jista’ jintebaħ mill-isem tal-ktieb, l-għan ta’ dan l-istudju ma kienx biex iwassal l-istorja Ġudeo-Kristjana kif ġiet mgħoddija lilna mit-tagħlim uffiċjali, imma x’ġie ċċensurat mill-istess storja uffiċjali tar-reliġjon...
Konxju ta’ dan, is-sorpriża tiegħi ma kinitx żgħira hekk kif bdejt nirċievi l-ewwel kummenti pożittivi fuq dan it-trattat. Il-ktieb intlaqa’ tajjeb ħafna, u dan grazzi għall-maturità tal-qarrejja li qraw dan ix-xogħol.
