Book Description
We are unwittingly born into this world with little more than our own innate human abilities and left to interpret the meaning of this miraculous experience. Religions, philosophies, gurus, metaphysicians and physicists all attempt to shed light on the human experience, each providing a window into our perceived reality. But, what if none of these torchbearers are on the right track? Or rather, what if all are on a similar track but our evolving human consciousness has not ripened to the point where humans are able to intuit the interconnectivity between seemingly disparate perspectives? Is it possible that this lack of understanding is preventing us from realizing the best version of ourselves, or even blocking us from identifying our unique purpose on Earth?Fatima El-Hindi has combined her broad experiences in the physical sciences with her passion for Islamic history and human consciousness to reconsider the traditional interpretation of the Qur'an. By linguistically analyzing the Qur'an, El Hindi reveals the universality of its message, dispels common misinterpretations and passionately argues for the Qur'an as life's preeminent guidebook. By combining seemingly heterogeneous sources of human knowledge (physics, human consciousness, biology and theology), El-Hindi highlights the common themes and draws out how these vastly different areas of study can be unified into a single understanding of the human condition. Leveraging this insight, El-Hindi then interweaves her own life experience and posits practical tools people can utilize to better navigate life's complexities to achieve personal success, improve relationships and build stronger communities.

The Universal Christ

Pages : 250
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Universal Human
Author: Gary Zukav
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982169885
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"With lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that we are evolving from a species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses -- external power -- into a species that pursues authentic power -- power that is based upon the perceptions and values of the spirit. He shows how the pursuit of external power has produced our survival-of-the-fittest understanding of evolution, generated conflict between lovers, communities, and superpowers, and brought us to the edge of destruction. Using his scientist's eye and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows how infusing the activities of life with reverence, compassion, and trust makes them come alive with meaning and purpose. He illustrates how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages into spiritual partnerships, psychology into spiritual psychology, and transforming our everyday lives. The Seat of the Soul describes the remarkable journey to the spirit that each of us is on."--Amazon.com.

One Mind
Author: Larry Dossey, MD
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401943772
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
In One Mind, New York Times best-selling author Larry Dossey, M.D., proposes an inspiring view of consciousness that may reshape our destiny. Dossey’s premise is that all individual minds are part of an infinite, collective dimension of consciousness he calls the One Mind. This state—which we can all access—explains phenomena as diverse as epiphanies, creative breakthroughs, premonitions of danger or disaster, near-death experiences, communication with other species and with the dead, reincarnation, the movement of herds, flocks, and schools, and remote healing.Dossey presents his theory in easily digestible, bite-sized vignettes. Through engaging stories, fascinating research, and brilliant insights from great thinkers throughout history, readers will explore the outer reaches of human consciousness, discover a new way to interpret the great mysteries of our experience, and learn how to develop the empathy necessary to engender more love, peace, and collective awareness. The result is a rich new understanding of what it means to be human and a renewed hope that we can successfully confront the challenges we face at this crossroads in human history.Even before publication One Mind drew praise from the finest minds of our time. It has been heralded as "landmark," "a brilliant synthesis," a "magnum opus," a "feast" of ideas, "compelling," "gripping," and "a major shift in our understanding of consciousness."

Who Knows?
Author: Raymond M. Smullyan
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 025310968X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Is there really a God, and if so, what is God actually like? Is there an afterlife, and if so, is there such a thing as eternal punishment for unrepentant sinners, as many orthodox Christians and Muslims believe? And is it really true that our unconscious minds are connected to a higher spiritual reality, and if so, could this higher spiritual reality be the very same thing that religionists call "God"? In his latest book, Raymond M. Smullyan invites the reader to explore some beautiful and some horrible ideas related to religious and mystical thought. In Part One, Smullyan uses the writings on religion by fellow polymath Martin Gardner as the starting point for some inspired ideas about religion and belief. Part Two focuses on the doctrine of Hell and its justification, with Smullyan presenting powerful arguments on both sides of the controversy. "If God asked you to vote on the retention or abolition of Hell," he asks, "how would you vote?" Smullyan has posed this question to many believers and received some surprising answers. In the last part of his treasurable triptych, Smullyan takes up the "beautiful and inspiring" ideas of Richard Bucke and Edward Carpenter on Cosmic Consciousness. Readers will delight in Smullyan's observations on religion and in his clear-eyed presentation of many new and startling ideas about this most wonderful product of human consciousness.

Awakening to Love
Author: Simon Herfet
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 9781982280253
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
This book is about the reason for your being here in this life, in this body, in this 'now' moment. For the present time is one of a cataclysmic shift in consciousness never seen before in your history on this planet. This shift is one from a sleeping state of humanity's mass family consciousness, to one of great awakening to a higher consciousness of connection; to the one spirit which permeates and gives life to all creation in your universe. This is a time long prophesised, as this one shared higher consciousness awakens in you, towards the realisation of the beauty and clarity of who you all truly are. For who you are is pristine, perfect, consciousness. Never tainted by anything which you or your ancestors have ever said or done - including lifetimes long preceding this one in which you now find yourselves. This book is presented here as a call to each soul on the cusp of this awakening. To quite simply help to remind each person, that they are a magnificent, radiant soul of love. Connected to infinite wisdom. And that they are now returning to this remembering - long lost in the sands of time - to help humanity move forward as a wave of awakened beings. Sharing the one consciousness which once slumbered. But now - like a lion roars awake - to facilitate and create the new world the creator has in store for Planet Earth.

The Nature of Consciousness
Author: Rupert Spira
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 1684030021
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
“I’ve gained deeper understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have from any other exponent of modern spirituality. Reality is sending us a message we desperately need to hear, and at this moment no messenger surpasses Spira and the transformative words in his essays.” —Deepak Chopra, author of You Are the Universe, Spiritual Solutions, and Super Brain Our world culture is founded on the assumption that the Big Bang gave rise to matter, which in time evolved into the world, into which the body was born, inside which a brain appeared, out of which consciousness at some late stage developed. As a result of this “matter model,” most of us believe that consciousness is a property of the body. We feel that it is “I,” this body, that knows or is aware of the world. We believe and feel that the knowing with which we are aware of our experience is located in and shares the limits and destiny of the body. This is the fundamental presumption of mind and matter that underpins almost all our thoughts and feelings and is expressed in our activities and relationships. The Nature of Consciousness suggests that the matter model has outlived its function and is now destroying the very values it once sought to promote. For many people, the debate as to the ultimate reality of the universe is an academic one, far removed from the concerns and demands of everyday life. After all, life happens independently of our models of it. However, The Nature of Consciousness will clearly show that the materialist paradigm is a philosophy of despair and, as such, the root cause of unhappiness in individuals. It is a philosophy of conflict and, as such, the root cause of hostilities between families, communities, and nations. Far from being abstract and philosophical, its implications touch each one of us directly and intimately. An exploration of the nature of consciousness has the power to reveal the peace and happiness that truly lie at the heart of experience. Our experience never ceases to change, but the knowing element in all experience—consciousness, or what we call “I”—itself never changes. The knowing with which all experience is known is always the same knowing. Being the common, unchanging element in all experience, consciousness does not share the qualities of any particular experience: it is not qualified, conditioned, or limited by experience. The knowing with which a feeling of loneliness or sorrow is known is the same knowing with which the thought of a friend, the sight of a sunset, or the taste of ice cream is known. Just as a screen is never disturbed by the action in a movie, so consciousness is never disturbed by experience; thus it is inherently peaceful. The peace that is inherent in us—indeed that is us—is not dependent on the situations or conditions we find ourselves in. In a series of essays that draw you, through your own direct experience, into an exploration of the nature of this knowing element that each of us calls “I,” The Nature of Consciousness posits that consciousness is the fundamental reality of the apparent duality of mind and matter. It shows that the overlooking or ignoring of this reality is the root cause of the existential unhappiness that pervades and motivates most people’s lives, as well as the wider conflicts that exist between communities and nations. Conversely, the book suggests that the recognition of the fundamental reality of consciousness is the first step in the quest for lasting happiness and the foundation for world peace.
