Living with a Wild God
Author: Barbara Ehrenreich
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 1455501751
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed comes a brave, frank, and exquisitely written memoir that will change the way you see the world. Barbara Ehrenreich is one of the most important thinkers of our time. Educated as a scientist, she is an author, journalist, activist, and advocate for social justice. In Living With a Wild God, she recounts her quest-beginning in childhood-to find ""the Truth"" about the universe and everything else: What's really going on? Why are we here? In middle age, she rediscovered the journal she had kept during her tumultuous adolescence, which records an event so strange, so cataclysmic, that she had never, in all the intervening years, written or spoken about it to anyone. It was the kind of event that people call a ""mystical experience""-and, to a steadfast atheist and rationalist, nothing less than shattering. In Living With a Wild God, Ehrenreich reconstructs her childhood mission, bringing an older woman's wry and erudite perspective to a young girl's impassioned obsession with the questions that, at one point or another, torment us all. The result is both deeply personal and cosmically sweeping-a searing memoir and a profound reflection on science, religion, and the human condition. With her signature combination of intellectual rigor and uninhibited imagination, Ehrenreich offers a true literary achievement-a work that has the power not only to entertain but amaze.

Religious but Not Religious
Author: Jason E. Smith
Publisher: Chiron Publications
ISBN: 1630519014
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
In Religious but Not Religious, Jungian analyst Jason E. Smith explores the idea, expressed by C.G. Jung, that the religious sense is a natural and vital function of the human psyche. We suffer from its lack. The symbolic forms of religion mediate unconscious and ineffable experiences to the field of consciousness that infuse our lives with meaning and purpose. That is why we cannot be indifferent toward the decline of traditional religious observance so widely discussed today. The great religions house the accumulated spiritual wisdom of humankind, and their loss would be catastrophic to the human soul. As human beings, we hunger for spiritual experience. To be “spiritual but not religious” is one possible response, but it often doesn’t go far enough. All too easily it can become a kind of do-it-yourself spirituality, which lacks the capacity to effect the kind of growth and transformation that is the true goal of all the religious traditions. Smith argues that we need to be “religious but not religious.” We need an approach to religion that recognizes the essential importance of the individual spiritual adventure while also affirming the value of collective religious tradition. He articulates an understanding of religion as a participation in the symbolic life as opposed to a mere content of belief. By recovering our personal sensitivity for symbolic experience together with a symbolic understanding of religion, we facilitate a profound encounter with life and with the human condition through which one may be tested, tried, and transformed.

Cannot Be Silenced
Author: Grace Baumgarten
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 151273697X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 754
Book Description
Did you know? Theres a battle, raging for over 6,000 years and continuing until the end of time? Beginning in the Garden of Eden, between God and Lucifer, truth and falsehood, good and evil, light and darkness. A battle for the souls of Man. God created man to multiply, subdue, and have dominion over the earth. But Lucifer, or Satan, the ruler of the world system, was envious of Gods love for man. He deceived Adam and Eve to sin against God. Ever since then, Satan has ensnared various men across time, advancing his agenda; to create world-wide financial dominion, thus controlling the political, spiritual and economic systems everywhere, with himself taking full lordship over Gods creation. This is why I, Grace Baumgarten, Cannot Be Silenced. With this being an election year in the USA, and its consequent Changing of the guard, being informed about the secret societies, or Enlightened Elites, is imperative. Their ideology? True freedom is liberation from God, and from moral constraints; with no absolute faith. To them, All truth is relative to the individual or group. With back-room dealings, ruinous bailouts and elimination of basic human values, theyve turned the USA over to be dissected, corporate-style, and theyre forcing this fraud on you and me. Yet, our founding fathers constructed a different concept; one of freedom, under the authority of Almighty God, as the Great Ruler; with His creation, nations and peoples empowered from on High, His Bible and His Commandments are the authoritative Word of God, and the basis for law, life, and true liberty. My first book was just the beginning, and so much has happened! Therefore, following a one-year sabbatical, I started writing one sentence at a time, knowing one day, this book would be born. I Cannot Be Silenced.

God's Autopsy and the Living Truth of Soul
Author: Hal Childs
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666737305
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
The Grand Narrative of Christianity that the Bible created is dead, and the Bible is silent. Does the Bible have anything relevant to say to our modern circumstances? We ask, where did God come from? What happened to God? God’s Autopsy reinterprets soul and God as historical-psychological phenomena related to the cultural structure of consciousness, the invisible shared context of thought, which has changed dramatically over the past three millennia. This book offers a new way to understand the trajectory of Western civilization by making the implicit foundation of Western consciousness—soul—visible and conscious. Our modern Western consciousness is radically different from that of antiquity when the Bible emerged. Jung’s psychological-philosophical insight that whenever we speak about the psyche it is the psyche speaking about itself, leads to the realization that today consciousness has come home to itself. Beginning with preliterate polytheism, the emergence of the transcendent god Yahweh and Christ, which led directly to the Enlightenment, objective soul continues to unfold itself. How did late modernity become a topsy-turvy, quantum, virtual, digital, impersonal, and abstract world that appears to be running away from us? The answer is unexpectedly and shockingly in the Bible itself.
