Inspiration
Author: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401919448
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Power of Intention “What I’m offering in this book is the awareness that we can return to a full-time position of inspiration, which is the true meaning of our life.”— Dr. Wayne W. Dyer In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we’ve chosen to enter this world of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don’t readily comprehend now, we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life process in motion. So why not think along these same lines? Why put the responsibility or blame on any one or any thing that’s not a part of us? On Earth we have the capacity of volition—we can choose—so let’s assume that we had the same capacity when we resided in the spiritual realm. We chose our physical body, and we chose the parents we needed for the trip. It doesn’t seem too great a stretch to move into the idea that we chose this life in concert with our Source. Inspiration can be cultivated and be a driving force throughout life, rather than showing up every now and then and just as mysteriously disappearing, seemingly independent of our desires. Inspiration is for everyone! It isn’t reserved for high-profile creative geniuses in the arts and sciences—it’s inherent in our Divine birthright. The problem is that as children we’re gradually taught to believe exclusively in the world of phenomena where ego is dominant and inspiration diminished. As you read each chapter in this book, you’ll find specific suggestions for living “in-Spirit.” From a very personal viewpoint, Wayne offers a blueprint through the world of inspiration—your ultimate calling.

SKYDIVERS GUIDE TO RELIGION AND THE MEANING OF LIFE
Author: Mike Jones
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1477107460
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Skydivers Guide to Religion and the Meaning of Life This book is a philosophical examination of our belief systems and provokes a critical examination of religious beliefs, our way of looking at the world , our interpretation of the meaning of life, and our ultimate fate. It asks the question, how valid are our beliefs in the context of the society we are raised in, our family and peers own beliefs and the effect of mainstream religion and the State in modifying what we believe, or more to the point, what we say we believe. Controversy and a little irreverent humour is guaranteed. Is man the ultimate creation living in a Cosmos that has been provided by a supreme entity solely for his benefit in much the same way as we would house our pet rabbits in a cage or is that just too simplistic a view?
