Book Description
We are within the midst of several significant and challenging transformations that are occurring now and there is naturally a great deal of angst and uncertainty among our society. Finding Profound Source Centered Guidance brings together, the broader, more esoteric and meaningful context of what is occurring and how we can respond holistically in light and in love and partner with the collective with the transformations to come. Love, unity, awareness, and expanded consciousness are finding a place in the hearts and minds of those of us who are energetically receptive and aligned to this higher resonance. This higher, clearer, purer vibration is available as Earth herself transforms and clears out her cumulative distortions as we will do as well. We can—and will—transform ourselves, Earth and the collective at large.

The God of Metaphysics
Author: T. L. S. Sprigge
Publisher: Clarendon Press
ISBN: 0191536164
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
Can philosophy offer reasonable grounds for the existence of a God (or Absolute) possessing genuine (even if not orthodox) religious significance and not proposed simply as the solution to a purely intellectual philosophical problem? Certainly many contemporary thinkers have insisted that no genuine religion could be based upon metaphysics. In this book, however, T. L. S. Sprigge examines sympathetically the most notable metaphysical systems of the last four centuries which purport to put religion on a rational footing and, after a thorough examination of their claims, considers what kind of religious outlook they might support and (more briefly) how they actually affected the lives of their proponents. The thinkers studied include Spinoza, Hegel, T. H. Green, Bernard Bosanquet (together with a brief discussion of Bradley), Josiah Royce, A. N. Whitehead, and Charles Hartshorne, concluding with an exposition of the author's own viewpoint (pantheistic absolute idealism) and a general discussion on the relation between metaphysics and religion. There is also a chapter on Kierkegaard as the most important critic of metaphysical religion.

Happy Living
Author: A L Vasudevan
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 164324650X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Happy Living pivots on a concept borrowed from business and manufacturing called ‘Lean.’ Happiness is what we all always crave, for happiness in life means different things to different people. The road to happiness is health and fitness, a highly positive attitude, diet control, good relationships and unlimited love with floodgates open forever. The effects of other elements, such as stress, anger, self-management, leadership, learning, humour and lifestyles can cause a positive impact or havoc, based on the choice you prefer. High discipline and self-control will take you places. But the world around you will make you slip to negative tracks most of the time. We have huge mountains of negativity. So sailing in a ‘positive boat’ all the time may not be possible, unless one is sharp, agile and awake all the time. We need to clean up a lot of muck from our mind and heart with the strongest antivirus. It is not at all an easy go. Happy Living will give you the tools necessary for this task.

The Knowledge of Good and Evil
Author: David Murdoch
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1608608476
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
At the time of Norway's original conversion to Christianity, two missionaries stumble upon the spiritual lesson of a lifetime. The missionaries find themselves in the company of a wise old man, who was one of the original converts to Christianity in Norway. In the form of an intelligent Socratic dialogue, the three men converse about ideas the missionaries had never before considered. The dialogue that unfolds goes deeply into exploring human sinfulness, judgment, and moral precepts. As the old man tries to explain to his audience, right and wrong - as purported to be from God's eyes - is not a true judgment, but only a mere imitation of people. The men slowly open up themselves to life-changing revelations. A deeply theological work, The Knowledge of Good and Evil may bring readers, even if they do not understand the main thesis, to a greater understanding of the law, judgment, punishment and morality, while revealing God's love through all of them. David Murdoch is a convert to the Roman Catholic faith and the author of the novel Ana Markovic. In addition to being a writer, he is also a historical researcher and a part-time taste tester for a large grocery store chain. He lives in Toronto, Canada.

Religion Versus Spirituality: Can Spirituality Flourish Apart from Organized Religion? (Debates in Dialogues)
Author: Joseph Schrock
Publisher: BookLocker.com, Inc.
ISBN: 1644385058
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 666
Book Description
This is a book that is devoted to helping inquiring spiritual thinkers find a path of genuine spirituality that leads them into spiritual growth and true harmony with the Divine. Three imaginary characters intensely and passionately debate questions concerning the reliability of Judeo-Christian scriptures, questions about whether the concept of original sin (in the Garden of Eden) is a viable concept for the twenty-first century, etc. Intense debates flare over questions about sexual morality, whether Pauline theology can be regarded as credible in our age of scientific knowledge, whether Heaven and Hell are real, and numerous other issues that are of vital concern to spiritual seekers. The three debaters in these dialogues are: 1) An independent spiritual seeker, 2) A Christian apologist -- devoted to a defense of mainstream Christianity, and 3) A devoted skeptic who questions all things religious or spiritual. If you are a spiritual seeker, one who finds that the materialist/secularist scientific paradigm for all reality leaves you cold, this book can engagingly point you in the direction of ever-deepening spiritual insights that will enable you to progressively advance toward genuine harmony with Ultimate Reality -- the Creator and Ruler of our wondrous universe. This book can show you that you need never to abandon intelligence, logic, science, or clear and rational thinking in order to attain a profound spirituality. True spirituality need not be imprisoned in the straitjackets of dogmatic or narrow thinking about reality. The Divine whom you can learn to serve faithfully and devotedly does not demand of you a repudiation of your God-given intellect, and God is never scared of humble and earnest questions. It was not stated flippantly nor erroneously that in regard to true spirituality, "Seek and you shall find; knock and the door will be opened to you". Many of the claims made in this book incorporate the conviction that one must not necessarily buy into the theology of any extant organized religion, but can have a "direct line" to the Creator, receiving thereby inspiration, encouragement, empowerment, inner peace, and growth toward spiritual perfection. For many in our "scientifically enlightened" age, religion is pushed into the "backwaters", and passionate devotion to spirituality is regarded as passe. This need not be so, because the Divine permeates every atom in this universe, and the energy that sustains the universe is also highly willing to inspire, direct, and guide your life. We need not settle for science as the "new god", because powerful though it is as a wonderful instrument, it is nevertheless constrained by the limitations of human powers and our relatively puny intellects. Your life can transcend what science has to offer, because science is bereft of powers to master the mind and the spirit of humanity. By availing yourself of the hints and guidelines offered in this book, you can discover a glorious path of growing inner peace and joys that transcend the powers of human understanding. Freedom of your will opens for you the door to genuine choice -- a choice that could (potentially) have the significance of Heaven versus Hell.

HyperHumanity
Author: Mike Hockney
Publisher: Magus Books
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 1019
Book Description
Humanity is a single biological species but has split into two different mental species labelled Mythos and Logos. The Mythos species is driven by emotional stories, not by facts, evidence or rational arguments. Even scientific materialism is a Mythos – the sensory Mythos – which asserts that "rational unobservables", undetectable by the senses, simply cannot exist. The Enlightenment – the Age of Reason – was when Logos humanity came to the fore. HyperHumanity is the upgrade of Logos humanity that advocates Hyperrationalism. "Old" Humanity, stuck in its irrational Mythos past, will become extinct. The future is about the new human race – HyperHumanity. Do you belong to the Illuminated Ones, the Shining Ones, the Divine Ones, or are you on your knees to some story-book God, an irrational market or irrational devotion to your physical senses? HyperHumanity is not here to help Old Humanity. It is here to replace it! We are the true human race, that which seeks to claim its rightful prize – divinity.

RETURN TO OBEDIENCE
Author: Clinton R Smith
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1304033171
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
Obedience brings joy to the heart of the Creator. The Scriptures and numerous manuscripts examined show that obedience is expected of the Sons of Light. By focusing on the Hebrew term tameem we can get a proper understanding of obedience. A comparison of Bible Commentaries demonstrates vast differences in opinions of the concept of obedience and its application to us. The 'lost' Clementine literature examined in this book dispels this confusion. It is hoped that this book will assist each reader to gain a favourable standing with our Creator.

Romanticism, Aesthetics, and Nationalism
Author: David Aram Kaiser
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139425773
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
This ambitious study, first published in 1999, argues that our conception of the aesthetic sphere emerged during the era of British and German Romanticism from conflicts between competing models of the liberal state and the cultural nation. The aesthetic sphere is thus centrally connected to 'aesthetic statism', which is the theoretical project of reconciling conflicts in the political sphere by appealing to the unity of the symbol. David Kaiser traces the trajectory of aesthetic statism from Schiller and Coleridge, through Arnold, Mill and Ruskin, to Adorno and Habermas. He analyses how the concept of aesthetic autonomy shifts from being a supplement to the political sphere to an end in itself; this shift lies behind the problems that contemporary literary theory has faced in its attempts to connect the aesthetic and political spheres. Finally, he suggests that we rethink the aesthetic sphere in order to regain that connection.

Uncommon Sense
Author: Andrew Pessin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 1442216107
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
In Uncommon Sense, Andrew Pessin leads us on an entertaining tour of philosophy, explaining the pivotal moments when the greatest minds solved some of the knottiest conundrums—by asserting some very strange things. But the great philosophers don’t merely make unusual claims, they offer powerful arguments for those claims that you can’t easily dismiss. And these arguments suggest that the world is much stranger than you could have imagined: You neither will, nor won't, do certain things in the future, like wear your blue shirt tomorrow. But your blue shirt isn't really blue, because colors don’t exist in physical objects; they’re only in your mind. Time is an illusion. Your thoughts are not inside your head. Everything you believe about morality is false. Animals don’t have minds. There is no physical world at all. In eighteen lively, intelligent chapters, spanning the ancient Greeks and contemporary thinkers, Pessin examines the most unusual ideas, how they have influenced the course of Western thought, and why, despite being so odd, they just might be correct. Here is popular philosophy at its finest, sure to entertain as it enlightens.
