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.

The Universal Call: A Journey to Consciousness
Author: Fatima El-Hindi
Publisher: Independent Publisher
ISBN: 9780578870779
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 158
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.

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."

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.

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.
