Book Description
The book reveals the truth about death: it is just a transition of consciousness and life is eternal, as death just applies to the physical body, and the soul, the consciousness that enlivens and uses the physical body lives forever. Human beings are multi-dimensional and our higher dimensional energy bodies, i.e. the emotional body, mental body and spiritual body also continue existing in the other realms after disconnecting from the physical body. The three stages of the end-of-lifetime bardo and the rebirth bardo are described, and there is a step-by-step guide for transcending death by merging with the divine light in the first two stages of the end-of-lifetime bardo and taking advantage of the life review bardo. There is a detailed depiction of the mechanism, the signs and the essential preparations needed for the death of the physical body. The book also explains what happens after "death", describes which body the soul extension generally transitions to and the possible temporary or longer-term destinations after the death of the physical body, before making a decision on the reincarnation. It specifically mentions why some soul extensions get stuck on the Earth, where people with bad habits, those committing suicides, and murderers usually go after death, to admonish the relevant people. It also talks about what planes those who have achieved high levels of spiritual development usually go after "death", in order to encourage people to develop themselves in spirituality and to resolve karmic issues as much as possible in this lifetime, so that after the death of the physical body, they will be able to go to a plane with higher vibrational frequency of consciousness, living a happier, freer and more wonderful life.

Book Description
“Compassionate, poignant, and practical. . . . Transcending Loss will be a great blessing on your lifetime journey of recovery.”—Harold Bloomfield, MD, psychiatrist and author of How to Survive the Loss of Love and How to Heal Depression Death doesn’t end a relationship, it simply forges a new type of relationship—one based not on physical presence but on memory, spirit, and love. There are many wonderful books available that address acute grief and how to cope with it. But they often focus on crisis management and imply that there is an "end" to mourning, and fail to acknowledge grief’s ongoing impact and how it changes through the years. “This is a book about death and grief, yes, but more important, it is a book about love and hope. I have learned from my experience and interviews with courageous people about pain, struggle, resiliency, and meaning. Their stories show over time, you can learn to transcend even in spite of the pain.”—from the introduction by Ashley Davis Bush, LCSW

Grieving Beyond Gender
Author: Kenneth J. Doka
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135844291
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Women Mourn is a revision of Men Don’t Cry, Women Do: Transcending Gender Stereotypes of Grief. In this work, Doka and Martin elaborate on their conceptual model of "styles or patterns of grieving" – a model that has generated both research and acceptance since the publication of the first edition in 1999. In that book, as well as in this revision, Doka and Martin explore the different ways that individuals grieve, noting that gender is only one factor that affects an individual’s style or pattern of grief. The book differentiates intuitive grievers, where the pattern is more affective, from instrumental grievers, who grieve in a more cognitive and behavioral way, while noting other patterns that might be more blended or dissonant. The model is firmly grounded in social science theory and research. A particular strength of the work is the emphasis placed on the clinical implications of the model on the ways that different types of grievers might best be supported through individual counseling or group support.

Lack & Transcendence
Author: David R. Loy
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1614295476
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Loy draws from giants of psychotherapy and existentialism, from Nietzsche to Kierkegaard to Sartre, to explore the fundamental issues of life, death, and what motivates us. Whatever the differences in their methods and goals, psychotherapy, existentialism, and Buddhism are all concerned with the same fundamental issues of life and death—and death-in-life. In Lack and Transcendence (originally published by Humanities Press in 1996), David R. Loy brings all three traditions together, casting new light on each. Written in clear, jargon-free style that does not assume prior familiarity, this book will appeal to a wide variety of readers including psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, scholars of religion, Continental philosophers, and readers seeking clarity on the Great Matter itself. Loy draws from giants of psychotherapy, particularly Freud, Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, and Otto Rank; great existentialist thinkers, particularly Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre; and the teachings Buddhism, particularly as interpreted by Nagarjuna, Huineng and Dogen. This is the definitive edition of Loy’s seminal classic.

Transcend
Author: Scott Barry Kaufman
Publisher: TarcherPerigee
ISBN: 0143131206
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
A bold reimagining of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs--and new insights for living your most authentic, fulfilled, and connected life. When positive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, exploration, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived. Maslow's model provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment--not by striving for money, success, or "happiness," but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. Transcend reveals a level of human potential that's even higher, which Maslow termed "transcendence." Beyond individual fulfillment, this way of being--which taps into the whole person-- connects us not only to our best self, but also to one another. With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with thought-provoking examples and personality tests, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection with our highest potential-- and beyond.
