Oh My God... It's All The Same!
Author: Dr. Robert H. Schram
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462815790
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Pamela Jaye Smith, Founder of Mythworks, author of “Inner Drives” and “The Power of the Dark Side” ”Written in a personal and very moving style, Dr. Schram's book offers insights from great thinkers and philosophies about the nature of reality and the unity of existence. His own perspective is joyous and he points delightedly to ways we ourselves can discover and live joy. Citing many sources, from mystic Judaism to Native American shamanism to Hindu philosophy, and more, Schram proves his point that not only is everything connected but that our perceptions and teachings from varied times and places reflect each other as well. Having read the Old Testament many times as a young Christian and later as a comparative mythologist, I was surprised and intrigued at his explanations of many of the stories. His psychological insights offer deep illustrative interpretations to the old Bible tales. A rich collection of quotes from diverse thinkers enriches and illustrates his points about the nature of reality and our place in it. Ancient philosophy, quantum physics, ageless wisdom, and a charming sense of humor all combine in "Oh My God" to offer you an entertaining read, an informative overview of philosophies, and a personal perspective that inspires you to find, know, and become your true self and live life to the fullest.”

New Age Judaism
Author: Celia Rothenberg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
"Experimentation with yoga, drumming, meditation, eclectic musical forms, Buddhism, and egalitarian prayer were once the province of the most marginal of Jewish religious practices. Today, however, they are being embraced with varying degrees of enthusiasm within mainstream Jewish denominations, revealing the gradual 'normalization' of New Age Judaism's religious forms. New Age Judaism focuses much needed scholarly attention on these new forms and expressions of Judaism both within and outside of the synagogue setting." "This edited volume explores a range of experiences and conceptualizations of 'New Age Judaism', an imprecise term denoting new and evolving forms of North American Judaism that are typically innovative, combinative, and often controversial. Chapters analyze the phenomenon of New Age Judaism from theoretical, theological and ethnographic perspectives. As a result, they offer a broad sampling of some of the most fascinating forms of Jewish religious expression and philosophy in North America today."--BOOK JACKET.

The Future of Judaism in America
Author: Jerome A. Chanes
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031249909
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This book explores the state of the American Jewish world in the early 21st century, after decades of accelerating change that has transformed it and all other religious groups in the United States. It reveals a community in an unparalleled state of flux grappling with a society in which religious identity is more and more considered an individual choice, rather than an inheritance, and where fewer adults feel impelled to identify with any religious tradition at all. In chapters written by leading experts, the book examines the community’s evolving demographics, the direction of the principal denominational movements, contemporary religious trends, interactions with other American religious communities and engagements in the country’s secular politics. This text uniquely covers all these aspects of Judaism in America making it appealing to students and researchers in such fields as the sociology of religion, Judaism, and American history.

Everything Is God
Author: Jay Michaelson
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 0834824000
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This exploration of the radical, yet ancient, idea that everything and everyone is God will transform how you understand your life and the nature of religion itself. While God is conventionally viewed as an entity separate from us, there are some Jews—Kabbalists, Hasidim, and their modern-day heirs—who assert that God is not separate from us at all. In this nondual view, everyone and everything manifests God. For centuries a closely guarded secret of Kabbalah, nondual Judaism is a radical reorientation of religious life that is increasingly influencing mainstream Judaism today. Writer and scholar Jay Michaelson presents a wide-ranging and compelling explanation of nondual Judaism: what it is, its traditional and contemporary sources, its historical roots and philosophical significance, how it compares to nondual Buddhism and Hinduism, and how it is lived in practice. He explains what this mystical nondual view means in our daily ego-centered lives, for our communities, and for the future of Judaism.
