Summary/Abstract: "Noty zebrane przez Adama Towiańskiego z kilku rozmów jego z ojcem" (The notes collected by Adam Towiański from several conversations with his father) may be considered a late Towianism manifesto. Adam Towiański conducted a number of interviews with his father, Andrzej Towiański, during which important information was provided about teaching the later stage of Towianism. The Notes... – unlike the early doctrine contained in Biesiada (The Banquet) – do not contain the esoteric vision of astronomy, the concept of reincarnation, as well as the story of dark spirits covering our planet. In Notes..., however, one can find the concept of the threefold sacrifice, or the white cross. This indicates a shift of Master Andrzej’s interests from metaphysical and esoteric to practical and moral issues.
