Kabbalah's Twelve Step Spiritual Method to End Your Addiction
Author: Gerald Gillespie
Publisher: SP Books
ISBN: 9781561719600
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
We Are All In Recovery.... Perhaps you (or a friend) have trouble freeing yourself from the clutches of any one of a long list of addictive substances or behaviors that are limiting or even threatening your physical and social well-being. You may have tried conventional therapies, but you still remain in a painful, losing struggle with your problem. Your addiction remains with you because your optimal self (you at your best) has remained on the same level of awareness. You need to END your addiction by transcENDing it. Your problem will always catch up with you if you fail to rise ABOVE it. This book shows you precisely how to do this! You can learn to gradually climb the mystical Tree of Life, step by step, until you find yourself OVER your addiction. The exercises, meditations and readings in this book will prepare your mind, body and spirit to make this ascent to recovery. AA's Twelve-Step program is an excellent framework on which to build. It is a foundation that allows for the spiritual growth necessary to reverse the "spiral of addiction". Modern psychology also has much to offer the person suffering from substance abuse and addiction. But psychotherapy by itself -- even in conjunction with a Twelve Step program -- may not bring about the transformed, higher con-sciousness necessary to truly leave your addiction behind. This book integrates the strengths of the Twelve Steps and contemporary psy-chology with the fundamental spiritual teachings of Kabbalah. The result is a new path that will energise and facilitate your process of recovery, as it lifts you towards a life of enriched spirituality. We are all on a journey to spiritual recovery. Kabbalah is your roadmap. Kabbalah, the ancient, mystical and meditative tradition at the root of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, is not merely a philosophy -- but a way of life. The Kabbalah's Tree of Life is shown to be the blueprint of existence that provides you with the strength and the restorative path to take you beyond the grasp of your addiction. You will learn to be in recovery of yourself.

Working with Oneness
Author: Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
Publisher: The Golden Sufi Center
ISBN: 1890350052
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Humanity has been given access to the secrets of oneness, but we need to learn how to work with them. Working with Oneness brings mysticism into the center of the marketplace, into the world of business and technology, and shows how we can work with it in everyday life. The dynamic energy of oneness has the potential to heal the planet and revolutionize life more than we can imagine, but it requires our individual participation and awareness to become fully alive. The energy of oneness is already present but waiting to be lived, and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee provides a blueprint for working consciously with this energy. As we understand how our consciousness affects the whole fabric of life, the potential for real global change comes alive. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee stresses the need to change from hierarchical, patriarchal power structures to organic patterns that allow for the free flow of energy and ideas. Through these patterns the dynamic energy of oneness can become part of everyday life. Working with Oneness includes a number of additional important topics, including: the changing energy structure of the planet and how to work with it; the power of individual consciousness; the danger of the desire for spiritual security; the return of joy to everyday life; the awakening of the heart of the world; a new understanding of magic; the use of the imagination; and mystical participation in life with the energy of oneness. Working with Oneness offers guidance on how to work with the energy of oneness, to learn how to participate in life free of the patterns of the past, so that the divine can come alive in every moment of every day. Working with Oneness is mystical activism at its most potent. “There is a growing and eager audience waiting for a vision of unity consciousness... Working with Oneness offers a salutary antidote to worn-out antagonisms. It challenges readers to join other kindred souls in a mystical activism that can bring new hope to humanity.” —Spirituality & Health “A book filled with wonder and the kind of insights that can leap out to your heart and gladden you for having read them. It's words are simple and straightforward—always a blessing—but its message it the most vital and important for the time in which we live. I recommend it.” —David Spangler, author, Blessings: the Art and the Practice

Seven Days That Divide the World
Author: John C. Lennox
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 031049219X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
"This is a wonderful book. Frances Ashcroft has a rare gift for making difficult subjects accessible and fascinating." —Bill Bryson, author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants What happens during a heart attack?

All God's Creatures
Author: Daniel P. Horan
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1978701543
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
The predominant “stewardship model” of creation is the result of an intentional effort to correct approaches that reinforce human sovereignty and the resulting environmental degradation. However, as All God’s Creatures argues, the stewardship model actually does not offer a correction but rather reinscribes many of the very same pitfalls. After close analysis of the stewardship model, this book identifies scriptural, theological, and philosophical sources to support the adoption of a “community of creation” paradigm. Drawing on postcolonial theory, this book proposes the concept of “planetarity” as a framework for conceiving the relationship between human and nonhuman creation, and the Creator, in a new way. This theoretical framework is grounded by a retrieval of the medieval Franciscan theological and philosophical tradition. The result is what can be called a postcolonial Franciscan theology of creation imagined in terms of planetarity, providing a constructive and nonanthropocentric response to the need for a new conceptualization of the doctrine of creation.

The Book of Divine Works
Author: St. Hildegard of Bingen
Publisher: Catholic University of America Press
ISBN: 0813231299
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Completed in 1173, The Book of Divine Works (Liber Divinorum Operum) is the culmination of the Visionary’s Doctor’s theological project, offered here for the first time in a complete and scholarly English translation. The first part explores the intricate physical and spiritual relationships between the cosmos and the human person, with the famous image of the universal Man standing astride the cosmic spheres. The second part examines the rewards for virtue and the punishments for vice, mapped onto a geography of purgatory, hellmouth, and the road to the heavenly city. At the end of each Hildegard writes extensive commentaries on the Prologue to John’s Gospel (Part 1) and the first chapter of Genesis (Part 2)—the only premodern woman to have done so. Finally, the third part tells the history of salvation, imagined as the City of God standing next to the mountain of God’s foreknowledge, with Divine Love reigning over all.
