Channeling
Author: Jon Klimo
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1556432488
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
In this study of channeling, earlier called spirit communication or mediumship, Klimo, who teaches at Rosebridge Graduate School in the San Francisco Bay Area, writes with clarity about "the communication of information to or through a physically embodied human being from a source…on some other level or dimension of reality other than the physical as we know it." He profiles recent channels and their sources, goes back to preliterate societies and the advent of monotheism and identifies as channels such figures as Moses, Solomon, Muhammad, Merlin, Nostradamus, Swedenborg and Edgar Cayce. He discusses the sorts of people who are channels, kinds of information channeled, sources of information channeled and varieties of channeling like clairvoyance and automatic writing. According to Klimo, few people tap into their abilities to perform channelingand for those who think they can, he serves as guide.

The Operation of Grace
Author: Wolfe Gregory
Publisher: Lutterworth Press
ISBN: 0718844726
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
The Operation of Grace collects a decade's worth of essays by Gregory Wolfe taken from the pages of Image, the literary journal he founded more than a quarter century ago. As he notes in the preface, his Image editorials, while they cover a wide range of topics, focus on the intersection of art, faith, and mystery. Wolfe believes that art and religion, while hardly identical, offer illuminating analogies to one another - art deepening faith through the empathetic reach of the imagination and faith anchoring art in a vision beyond the artist's ego. Several essays dwell on how aesthetic values like ambiguity, tragedy, and beauty enlarge our understanding of the spiritual life. There are also a series of reflections that extend Wolfe's campaign to renew the neglected and often misunderstood tradition of Christian humanism. Finally, there are sections that contain more personal meditations arising from Wolfe's involvement in nurturing and promoting the work of emerging writers and artists. The Operation of Grace demonstrates once again why novelist Ron Hansen has spoken of Wolfe as one of the most incisive and persuasive voices of our generation.

In the moments passing by, there is always a wish we deny
Author: Geetanjali Vijayran
Publisher: Writers Republic LLC
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
This book is about unconditional love - loving the self, loving God, and loving the life that He gave us. It was written in the aftermath of a phase where I was contemplating suicide. This work is a view from the other side - what happens when you don't kill yourself, but instead pray to the lord God, the Almighty One, and find solace in healing your body, mind, and soul. Mental illnesses are real and can be debilitating. However, if you love your family and friends, you may choose to stay alive just for them. Suicide kills not only the person, but the entire family and leaves a whole community in shock. Do you want to leave behind pain and suffering? Or would you rather not give up and choose to believe that your pain and suffering has a purpose greater than yourself? Let's face it. Life is hard and survival is challenging; but do you know that this journey can feel blissful with the right amount of love and friendship. I hope the next few pages help you in understanding how I cope with my mental illness. Try to grasp that your journey is an experience that God wanted you to have. This experience will help you in growing your consciousness, so you may bloom like the spring flower spreading your fragrance around. The fragrance being your joy that you find in your reality. In essence, the glimpses of joy you will have should be sufficient to tackle the pain. Seek God in all your endeavors!

Out-of-Body and Near-Death Experiences
Author: Michael N. Marsh
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191610127
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1125
Book Description
Personalised accounts of out-of-body (OBE) and near-death (NDE) experiences are frequently interpreted as offering evidence for immortality and an afterlife. Since most OBE/NDE follow severe curtailments of cerebral circulation with loss of consciousness, the agonal brain supposedly permits 'mind', 'soul' or 'consciousness' to escape neural control and provide glimpses of the afterlife. Michael Marsh critically analyses the work of five key writers who support this so-called "dying brain" hypothesis. He firmly disagrees with such otherworldly 'mystical' or 'psychical' interpretations, ably demonstrating how they are explicable in terms of brain neurophysiology and its neuropathological disturbances. The original basis and thrust of Marsh's claim sees the recorded phenomenology as reflections of brains rapidly reawakening to full conscious-awareness, consistent with other reported phenomenologies attending recovery from antecedent states of unconsciousness: the "re-awakening brain" hypothesis. From this basis, Marsh also offers a re-classification of NDE into early and late phase sequences, thereby dismantling the untenable concepts of "core" and "depth" experiences. Marsh further provides a detailed examination of the spiritual and quasi-religious overtones accorded OBE/NDE, highlighting their inconsistencies when compared with classical accounts of divine disclosure, and the eschatological precepts of resurrection belief as professed credally. In assessing the implications of anthropological, philosophical, and theological concepts of 'personhood' and 'soul' as arguments for personal survival after death, Marsh celebrates the role of conventional faith in appropriating the expectant biblical promises of a 'New Creation'.

The Elder Joseph the Hesychast (1897-1959)
Author: Elder Joseph of Vatopaidi
Publisher: Ιερά Μεγίστη Μονή Βατοπαιδίου
ISBN: 6185314231
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
The life of the Elder Joseph the Hesychast is a shining contemporary example of heroism and self-denial, struggle against the passions of the old man and the demons, and resurrection ‘of the new nature created after the likeness of God’. The Blessed Elder, having himself arrived at the longed for dispassion, which in the language of the Fathers is called ‘Love’, gave a new thrust to Athonite Monasticism towards the acquisition of the virtues, mental prayer and the retaining of the mind, the nous. With his persistence in the rigour of turning the mind inward and in the labour of the intellect the Elder revived the Palamite Theology and brought it back to the forefront. Six great monasteries of the Holy Mountain have been repopulated by his spiritual children, and a multitude of other monastics and laymen follow his spiritual teaching and his radiant example. His Life is simple; he did not finish even his primary studies; by his life, however, he has put to shame the ‘wise’ of the world. Through his life and prayers may we all arrive at least to some measure at this divine simplicity. (From the Prologue of the book)
