Book Description
Leaving behind both fear and belief, Samael Aun Weor explains through vivid stories what happens when we die and how we can prepare ourselves now to take full advantage of the experience. Instructions to prepare the soul for the process of dying and the experiences of the afterlife are found within the scriptures of every mystical tradition, especially the Bible, The Theban Recension (Egyptian Book of the Dead), and the Bardo Thodol (Tibetan Book of the Dead), yet they are veiled in cryptic symbolism and are difficult for most people to understand. Now, for the first time, this book fearlessly approaches the topics of death, dying, and the afterlife for our day and age -- and for those who are tired of theories and are ready to know the truth through their own experience.

The Gnostic Gospels
Author: Elaine Pagels
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588364178
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time The Gnostic Gospels is a landmark study of the long-buried roots of Christianity, a work of luminous scholarship and wide popular appeal. First published in 1979 to critical acclaim, winning the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Gnostic Gospels has continued to grow in reputation and influence over the past two decades. It is now widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and accessible histories of early Christian spirituality published in our time. In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed what proved to be the Gnostic Gospels, thirteen papyrus volumes that expounded a radically different view of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from that of the New Testament. In this spellbinding book, renowned religious scholar Elaine Pagels elucidates the mysteries and meanings of these sacred texts both in the world of the first Christians and in the context of Christianity today. With insight and passion, Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of “Christianities” emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Some Christians questioned the need for clergy and church doctrine, and taught that the divine could be discovered through spiritual search. Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment—and access to God—within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary—or worthy—expression of faith? These early Christians dared to ask questions that orthodox Christians later suppressed—and their explorations led to profoundly different visions of Jesus and his message. Brilliant, provocative, and stunning in its implications, The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.

Beyond Belief
Author: Elaine Pagels
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 140007908X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In Beyond Belief, renowned religion scholar Elaine Pagels continues her groundbreaking examination of the earliest Christian texts, arguing for an ongoing assessment of faith and a questioning of religious orthodoxy. Spurred on by personal tragedy and new scholarship from an international group of researchers, Pagels returns to her investigation of the “secret” Gospel of Thomas, and breathes new life into writings once thought heretical. As she arrives at an ever-deeper conviction in her own faith, Pagels reveals how faith allows for a diversity of interpretations, and that the “rogue” voices of Christianity encourage and sustain “the recognition of the light within us all.”

Reading to the Dead
Author: Barry J. Peterson

ISBN: 9780991091416
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
From the Author's Intro: What if you lost a loved one, and were left emotionally and spiritually devastated? What if your loved one had never paid much attention, during life, to the spiritual side of existence? What if you had the ability to help in the spiritual realm, and at the same time help yourself move through the grieving process? The belief that love can reach into the afterlife, that reciprocal giving and receiving is possible, where our affection for one another continues beyond the limits of death-this has been a fundamental conviction of Christianity throughout the ages and it remains a source of comfort today. Who would not feel the need to convey to their departed loved ones a sign of kindness, a gesture of gratitude or even a request for pardon... An incredibly cogent and compelling path for those suffering the loss of a loved one, a way to help the departed on their evolutionary spiritual journey as well as the first step to beginning the healing process in the hearts of the loved ones left behind. A thoughtful and sensitive gift for those needing guidance in a time of loss. It not only takes you by the hand and shows you how it works but delves deeply into the metaphysical aspect to show you why. An exceptional addition to anyone's metaphysical library. David Allen, Author of The Power of I AM The title, Reading to the Dead: A Transitional Grief Therapy for the Living, immediately caught my attention and made me want to know more. Eye-opening, informative and comforting, It was a fascinating read, inspiring me to do some soul searching and think more fully of the phenomena of life and afterlife. It inspired me to want to live a more spiritual life so that my after-life will be easier. This will also help me help my loved ones who have gone before. This book definitely revolutionizes the way we look at "life." A must-read! Dr.Chaneta V. Lewis, Co-Author of Awaken To Your Essence A Gnostic Audio Selection, includes free access to streaming audio book. Upon purchase of this book you will receive access to the streaming audio book for your online listening. Gnostic Audios are streaming ONLY, and are not downloadable.
