Rationalist Spirituality
Author: Bernardo Kastrup
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1846947359
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Why does the universe exist and what are you supposed to do in it? This question has been addressed by religions since time immemorial, but popular answers often fail to account for obvious aspects of reality. Indeed, if God knows everything, why do we need to learn through pain and suffering? If God is omnipotent, why are we needed to do good? If the universe is fundamentally good, why are wars, crime, and injustice all around us? In modern society, orthodox science takes the rational high-ground and tackles these contradictions by denying the very need for, and the existence of, meaning. Indeed, many of us implicitly accept the notion that rationality somehow contradicts spirituality. That is a modern human tragedy, not only for its insidiousness, but for the fact that it is simply not true. In this book, the author constructs a coherent and logical argument for the meaning of existence, informed by science itself. A framework is laid out wherein all aspects of human existence have a logical, coh

The Logic of Faith
Author: Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 0834841355
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
A popular American Buddhist teacher explores the creative relationship between faith and doubt, knowing and not-knowing, and shows how an awakened life results from living from the place in between. Faith is a thorny subject these days. Its negative expressions cause many to dismiss it out of hand--but Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel urges us to reconsider, for faith is really nothing but our natural proclivity to find certainty in a world where certainty is hard to come by. And if we look carefully, we’ll discover that the faith impulse isn’t separate from reason at all—faith and logic in fact work together in a playful and dynamic relationship that reveals the profoundest kind of truth—a truth beyond the limits of “is” and “is not.” Using the traditional Buddhist teachings on dependent arising, Elizabeth leads us on an experiential journey to discover the essential interdependence of everything--and through that thrilling discovery to open ourselves to the whole wonderful range of human experience.

The Spiritual Child
Author: Dr. Lisa Miller
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250032911
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller presents the next big idea in psychology: the science and the power of spirituality. She explains the clear, scientific link between spirituality and health and shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality: * are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances * are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers * are 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex * have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an increased sense of meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Combining cutting-edge research with broad anecdotal evidence from her work as a clinical psychologist to illustrate just how invaluable spirituality is to a child's mental and physical health, Miller translates these findings into practical advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop and encourage their children's—as well as their own—well-being. In this provocative, conversation-starting book, Dr. Miller presents us with a pioneering new way to think about parenting our modern youth.

The Logic of Srimad Bhagwad Gita
Author: Pramendra Srivastava
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 9781648506352
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 654
Book Description
No one can escape Dharma, the eternal laws. Beliefs grow into actions, and action-learning converts to Sankhya, while deeper research requires meditation, i.e. Bhaktiyog, Karmyog, Gyanyog, and Dhyanyog successively. Fundamentalists never comprehend the fundamentals of religion, ironically, nor do the apostates. Ancient Rishi's quest for survival of humanity in sync with nature forced inquiries into physical and metaphysical realms, discovering spirituality as the basis of Science, Creations and Psychology, which they coded into mythologies and symbols, only to be deciphered in times to come. Basic pillars of Sanatan Dharma, i.e. Purush, Prakriti, Brahm and Yog hide sciences. The element of ubiquitous spirit in us warns naturally. Sanatan Dharma explains ethical hierarchies, egalitarianism and utilitarianism, with intent to establish Summum Bonum. People from different culture and religions think alike due to triguna nature, which applies beyond man-made religious boundaries. Rishis searched for the truth honestly, Later politicization created today's religions. At core, all religions are the same, and hold the key to oneness globally. Does Yoga compare to Trinity in Christianity? How Prophet Mohammad, got enlightenment while meditating in the Hera Caves? Big Bang theory of creations has a mention in scriptures, from the smallest dimensionless source to infinitely expanding universe? Lord Vishnu rests in a serpentine bed in Ksheer Sagar (or milky way); from his naval evolves Lord Brahma, the solar system, Terrestrial gods pray Him. Cosmological hierarchy is depicted as Lord Brahma Vishnu Mahesh? This book logically deciphers symbols and myths, meant to define humanity.

Hegel on the Proofs and Personhood of God
Author: Robert R. Williams
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019879522X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Hegel's analysis of his culture identifies nihilistic tendencies in modernity i.e., the death of God and end of philosophy. Philosophy and religion have both become hollowed out to such an extent that traditional disputes between faith and reason become impossible because neither any longer possesses any content about which there could be any dispute; this is nihilism. Hegel responds to this situation with a renewal of the ontological argument (Logic) and ontotheology, which takes the form of philosophical trinitarianism. Hegel on the Proofs and Personhood of God examines Hegel's recasting of the theological proofs as the elevation of spirit to God and defense of their content against the criticisms of Kant and Jacobi. It also considers the issue of divine personhood in the Logic and Philosophy of Religion. This issue reflects Hegel's antiformalism that seeks to win back determinate content for truth (Logic) and the concept of God. While the personhood of God was the issue that divided the Hegelian school into left-wing and right-wing factions, both sides fail as interpretations. The center Hegelian view is both virtually unknown, and the most faithful to Hegel's project. What ties the two parts of the book together--Hegel's philosophical trinitarianism or identity as unity in and through difference (Logic) and his theological trinitarianism, or incarnation, trinity, reconciliation, and community (Philosophy of Religion)--is Hegel's Logic of the Concept. Hegel's metaphysical view of personhood is identified with the singularity (Einzelheit) of the concept. This includes as its speculative nucleus the concept of the true infinite: the unity in difference of infinite/finite, thought and being, divine-human unity (incarnation and trinity), God as spirit in his community.
