Wondrous Encounters
Author: Richard Rohr
Publisher: Franciscan Media
ISBN: 1616360429
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Rohr's meditations on the daily readings of Lent are not for the sake of mere information, or even for academia (although the author hopes it will satisfy both), but for the sake of our transformation into our original "image and likeness," which is the very image of God. What always and finally matters for all of us is encounter! Father Rohr begins each meditation with a single title or phrase that sums up the point. Then he offers the meditation followed by key passages from the readings. He ends each meditation with a Starter Prayer that invites you to self-disclosure and to enter the wondrous divine dialogue with clarity, insight—and holy desire! "There are two moments that matter. One is when you know that your one and only life is absolutely valuable and alive. The other is when you know your life, as presently lived, is entirely pointless and empty. You need both of them to keep you going in the right direction. Lent is about both. The first such moment gives you energy and joy by connecting you with your ultimate Source and Ground. The second gives you limits and boundaries, and a proper humility, so you keep seeking the Source and Ground and not just your small self."—From the Introduction

Life and Death in one Breath (eBook)
Author: Sadhguru
Publisher: Isha Foundation
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
"Death is a cosmic joke. If you get the joke, when you fall on the other side, it will be wonderful. If you don’t get the joke, when you are here you fear the other side, and when the other side comes, you just don’t know what it is about. If death becomes a laughing matter in your life, life becomes an utterly effortless process – there is no need to restrain yourself in the process of life; you can live your life absolutely, totally." – Sadhguru For ages, most of humanity has placed 'life' and 'death' at two ends of the existential spectrum – favoring one, fearing the other and continuously floundering between the two. Only when someone who has consciously traversed between both life and death offers to articulate some aspects of it, does humanity get a glimpse of what lies beyond the horizon of its normal perception. In this book, with his extraordinary insights, coming from a profound inner experience, Sadhguru reveals that life and death are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. It is only by embracing both that we can break the shackles of our self-made struggles and be set free. With numerous vibrant colour images, the book is a breath-taking journey through Sadhguru’s wisdom.

Toward Enlightened Community

Pages : 76
Book Description
Toward Enlightened CommunityWe've come to associate live-in community with political idealism, arrangements of functional convenience and survival, causes that are fundamentally mundane in nature -- Save the Whales, grow a garden, build an unconventional structure. There's nothing wrong with banding together to do something socially and economically sensible. That's not a crime, but neither is it enlightened. Something enlightened has something to do with love.How do we move Toward Enlightened Community?To make love meaningful, to make love kick ass, it has to be shared between real people in real intimate association with one another. It's the expression of your compassion and your love, your long-sufferingess and your willingness to be in the pressure cooker of an actual relationship with your fellow man. That's community.It is completely inherent in the human breast to seek fulfillment within a family of fellows - not people who are simply casual associates, but comrades who feel as we feel, and are willing to have an intense and emotional experience of life with us, without backing off, fading away, or growing apart. That's what we need for the rest of our lives. Anything else is disappointing. Threatening. Inadequate to give the feeling, "I am in fact loved."

The Enlightened are Not Bound by Religion
Author: Kevser Yesiltash
Publisher: Bookcity.Co
ISBN: 1912311054
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The mystical teachings of Ibn ‘Arabi, particularly influential in Anatolia, are rooted in a tens-of-thousands-of-years old knowledge attainment and transfer tradition, which is one of the fundamental cornerstones of Sufism. Through his unique method, Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi performed an unparalleled role in conveying the secrets of the Sufi mystical teachings across the generations. The secrets concealed in his teachings are not immediately revealed, and the knowledge they contain is hidden in such language that those who encounter it are often left in a state of shock and bewilderment. Those who strived to understand this language have been able to discover the real meaning hidden within, yet the majority, without making such an effort, took the meaning at face value and accused Ibn ‘Arabi of being anti-religious. The title of this book, ‘The Enlightened are Not Bound by Religion’, is one of Arabi’s notable sayings. To be able to understand just this saying requires knowledge of many subjects of the mystical teachings. Kevser Yesiltash explores the deep of mystical secrets of his saying in the book.
