Book Description
This book suggests that religion, in its usual sense, can be replaced by something better, that the human spirit or subjectivity can be the subject of scientific study and that lack of purpose or design in the universe is not a handicap but a positive opportunity for intelligent beings to make of the universe and its contents what they reasonably can. The book breaks new ground in suggesting a radical alternative to religion. It offers a scientific and humanist alternative to religion which appeals to people’s critical faculties rather than emotions or intuitions. It also challenges current views of causation and the principle of sufficient reason by stressing the subjectivity of our reasoning powers and clarifying these in relation to an independent external reality. It develops and elaborates a notion of the ’noosphere’ within a theoretical system, this enables the notion to assume a scientific importance which it currently lacks because it is treated as an isolated, eccentric and rather mystical idea.

Book Description
ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

Living in a Mindful Universe
Author: Eben Alexander
Publisher: Rodale Books
ISBN: 163565033X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Dr. Eben Alexander, author of international phenomenon Proof of Heaven, shares the next phase of his journey to understand the true nature of consciousness and how to cultivate a state of harmony with the universe and our higher purpose. In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander’s brain was severely damaged by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but he miraculously survived and brought back with him an astounding story. During those 7 days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned changed everything he knew about the brain, mind, and consciousness and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a byproduct of the brain? His challenge relates to a revolutionary shift now underway within our modern scientific understanding. Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal. In Living in a Mindful Universe, the New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into nonlocal consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful Universe, they teach you how to tap into your greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity, guidance, and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness, you will gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all, ultimately enriching every facet of your life.

Good Morning Henry
Author: Tanis Helliwell
Publisher: Wayshower Enterprises
ISBN: 1987831357
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
LEARN TO WORK WITH YOUR BODY INTELLIGENCE TO HEAL DEEP-ROOTED PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL SUFFERING We are at a time of great change, a time when the old ‘normal’ has disappeared. The great transition that we are undergoing collectively is a dark night of the soul. It’s a time when the anchors of our life are ripped away and we find ourselves adrift in a world lacking meaning and safety. To come out of the dark night we need a new set of values, that are life-sustaining and based on the love and health of all beings. Against this background Good Morning Henry addresses how to recognize the causes of our difficulties, implement solutions and experience healing. Fortunately, each of us has a precious helper inside us to assist, a ‘body consciousness’. Tanis Helliwell calls it the body intelligence, body elemental or Henry, and demonstrates with humor, spiritual wisdom and mystical ability how to co-create with your own body intelligence for deep healing and self-transformation. REVIEWS FOR GOOD MORNING HENRY: “Good Morning Henry is a revelation!! It brings together in the most practical and humorous of ways teachings that I have seen in other places. BUT— never in such an accessible and easy to understand way. I can’t WAIT to tell my community about this book. The world is SO ready for it.” — Christiane Northrup, MD Multiple New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies and Women’s Wisdom “Good Morning Henry is the work of an ancient time-traveler who is at home within the labyrinth of the timeless truth. …This is not just inspiring but is also a highly useful book, rooted in the body, the earth and in everyday life…Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, Good Morning Henry will help you to take the next step.” — Richard Rudd, author Gene Keys: Unlocking the Higher Purpose Hidden in Your DNA “It’s my daily business to treat and heal people going through the deep night of the soul…Tanis’ new book is a light in the night and an important guide on the journey, to contact the wisdom, experience and wellness of the body for deeper healing and transformation. This important book supports all people to whom a new medicine, and understanding of the human body and of its’ healing power is important.” — Christian Schopper, MD/MHBA, neurology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, medicine VAOAS Zurich and lecturer University of Zurich. “This rare and revelatory gem offers direct insight into universal consciousness to restore innermost connection with yourself, the earth and all that lives on her. This book is a powerful invitation to open your heart to healing wisdom teachings from within and demands to be read again and again.” — Prajnaparamita, non-dual spiritual teacher, www.prajnaparamita.nl “Soooo brilliant! Good Morning Henry is an endless source of extraordinary perceptions of the multi-level reality of human life. Tanis Helliwell’s writing style is so dynamic, captivating, clear and yet abounds with humour and joy as her conversations with Henry helps the reader to reflect and contemplate his or her life.” — Marielle Croft, astrologer and advanced astrology teacher

This is and is not a how to book. What I mean is that it's not the book you want to pick up to improve your roll cast (at least not directly) but it may improve your outlook on life.

Live No Lies

ISBN: 0525653139
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry equips readers to recognize and resist the lies that seek to rob them of peace and freedom. “Live No Lies is brilliant, deep, scriptural, and will equip you to face the enemy and fight.”—Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies. The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is. The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender. Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world. Live No Lies taps into this ancient wisdom from saints of the Way and translates the three enemies for the modern era, with all its secularism and sophistication. As a generation, we chuckle at the devil as a premodern myth, we are confused by Scripture’s teaching on the flesh in an age where sensual indulgence is a virtue not a vice, and we have little to no category for the New Testament concept of the world. In this provocative and practical book, bestselling author John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual deformation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them. Do you feel the tug-of-war in your own heart, the inner conflict between truth and lies? The spirit and the flesh? The Way of Jesus and the world? It’s time to start winning. It’s time to live no lies...
