Ritual Texts for the Afterlife
Author: Fritz Graf
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134119674
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Fascinating texts written on small gold tablets that were deposited in graves provide a unique source of information about what some Greeks and Romans believed regarding the fate that awaited them after death, and how they could influence it. These texts, dating from the late fifth century BCE to the second century CE, have been part of the scholarly debate on ancient afterlife beliefs since the end of the nineteenth century. Recent finds and analysis of the texts have reshaped our understanding of their purpose and of the perceived afterlife. The tablets belonged to those who had been initiated into the mysteries of Dionysus Bacchius and relied heavily upon myths narrated in poems ascribed to the mythical singer Orpheus. After providing the Greek text and a translation of all the available tablets, the authors analyze their role in the mysteries of Dionysus, and present an outline of the myths concerning the origins of humanity and of the sacred texts that the Greeks ascribed to Orpheus. Related ancient texts are also appended in English translations. Providing the first book-length edition and discussion of these enigmatic texts in English, and their first English translation, this book is essential to the study of ancient Greek religion.

The Voiceless Soul
Author: Kelly Tallaksen
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982260300
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Most of the world is stuck in a trap due to fears of nonlove. From a newly fertilized egg birthed into the world of grown-ups, the incoming soul is challenged by the unconscious fears and suppressed emotions of the grown-ups who will be its teachers at the beginning phases of life. The fear consciousness developed and reinforced over time has created a world that lacks the necessary self-awareness for true spiritual growth. The letters throughout the book, written by the soul of a wounded and disconnected child, challenge the reader to face their own rejected and disowned parts as the reader is led into a deeper understanding of human consciousness and, finally, a healing process that reaches the level of the soul. The book provides an understanding of, and universal need for, authentic forgiveness and compassion, not only for the wounded inner child of the reader, but also the wounded inner child parts within the disconnected grown-ups that polluted the reader’s self-esteem. The book includes relevant research, client cases and the author’s own challenges of being raised by grown-ups who have failed to grow up, keeping her trapped in feelings of unworthiness.

Gambling With Your Soul
Author: Henry Arnold Davis
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666701831
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
If you’ve ever wondered “What will happen to me when I die?” this book is for you. I first considered the question at eight years of age staring down the barrel of a thirty-eight-caliber revolver under a white-knuckled death grip in my father’s hand—the same gun used on him by my older brother years earlier. Drawing on religion, science, philosophy, mathematics, near-death experiences (NDE), out-of-body experiences (OBE), spirit encounters, hundreds of interviews across the globe, and good old-fashioned common sense, Gambling With Your Soul tackles the controversial topic of life after death by standing on two fundamental truths. First, everyone is going to die. Second, no one knows what will happen to them after they die. In the face of these truths, what is your best bet? Analyzing the afterlife beliefs of the world’s top twenty-two religions/nonreligions, this book proves it is Christianity. This is not to say that Christianity is “right,” and all other religions are “wrong.” It is simply your best bet. The book provides an original, objective, and comprehensive answer to the question that’s sewn into the DNA of every human being.

Apocalypse of the Soul

Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449064442
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Where is your solace when you have lived a life without religion or faith, only to find out nearing the hour of your death you have nothing to trust. Even a life of constant faith can end with fear of the damnation threatened by your minister. What if you are gay, or lesbian, locked away in prison, or hopelessly addicted to drugs or alcohol? When the fear of death occupies your mind, what can you turn to? Where is the truth? What happens when I die? Which church is the right one? Will there be rapture? Is God on our side? Can I really get into heaven for an adequate donation? Thousands are in prison, thousands are gay, and thousands have no religious affiliations at all. Yet in every heart lies the fear of damnation and the uncertainty of what may await us on the other side. Gays are called abominations by churches and good Christians; sentenced to exclusion and damned forever. Prisoners are for the most part condemned to hell for their crimes. The everyday average person does not go to church at all. I offer these untold thousands a new answer, a plausible alternative to sackcloth and ashes. I offer a faith in the absolute "understanding" that awaits us after death. I ask readers to look past the ranting and threats of all religions. You need to see that they are selling heaven. There is no Bible thumping or condemnation in chapter and verse. This is a religious, anti-religious book. I offer piece of mind, even hope for your personal end times. It is not deep nor psychologically steeped in conjecture. Free yourself from bondage and fear. Share the story. The End Times may be here! This book can help you prepare.
