Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the soul, consciousness and spirituality is presented. The soul is a part of God that he has bestowed upon us. It is our moral source. It represents our love and positive emotions that contribute to our moral value and growth. Consciousness is our creative and life force that derives from the soul. It is the spark of life that creates and sustains us. Our spirituality reflects the quality of our soul that is expressed through our conscious behavior. It is the intermediary between the soul and consciousness. We are spiritual beings living a mortal life and are reflections of God's love and spirit. Free will and choice are our burden. We are challenged to avoid less than honorable deeds. Our behavior, actions and treatment of others become the essence of our character. We are also spiritually interconnected. We attract like spirits throughout our lives for support, personal growth or loss. Our life represents the wisdom of our soul.

Book excerpt: The Kingdom Within will change your life! The book resulted from a spiritual transformation that occured in 1989. After twenty years of practice and study a profound experience with higher reality suddenly manifested after a seven mile run near my home at that time in East Tennessee, USA. Suddenly my conscious awareness expanded beyond my body to include all the surroundings of the country side. I never spoke of the significance of this transformation at that time because I did not know how to put into words a spiritual realization that cant be adequately expressed in human terms. It wasnt until 1995 that the full impact of the now present awakened eternal consciousness stablilized within my being. It would have been very easy to just bath in the radiance of Gods image because His love is so fufilling yet the pressure within increased to the point in 2002 that it was time to put into words the way to the inner kingdom of eternal life. The book is for you! It stills the chaos in your life by showing you how to live and what wonder of wonders was placed in all humans at the time of their birth.

Download or read book Creation Spirituality written by Matthew Fox and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1991-03-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Matthew Fox, the popular and controversial author of The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, a prophetic manifesto for the preservation of the planet. For those new to the works of Matthew Fox, and for those eager to learn his thoughts after his Vatican-ordered public silence, comes this introduction to creation spirituality--Fox's framework for a far-reaching spirituality of the Americas. Passionate and provocative, Fox uncovers the ancient tradition of a creation-centered spirituality that melds Christian mysticism with the contemporary struggle for social justice, feminism, and environmentalism. Basic to Fox's notion of creation spirituality is the gift of awe--a mystical response to creation and the first step toward transformation. Awe prompts indignation at the exploitation and destruction of the earth's people and resources. Awe leads to action. Showing how we can learn from each other, Fox's spirituality weds the healing and liberation found in both North and South America. Creation Spirituality challenges readers of every religious and political persuasion to unite in a new vision through which we learn to honor the earth and the people who inhabit it as the gift of a good and just creator.

Download or read book From Creation to Eternity written by Raymond J. Jerome and published by Raymond Jerome. This book was released on 2010-01-07 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sometimes I have a difficult time accepting my good fortune to be living at this particular time -- nothing has made me feel more that way than reading Dr. Jerome's fascinating, realistic, and informative book. It is a "treasure house" of wonderful information, useful knowledge, and excellent writing. This book essentially takes the basic religious truths that have been handed down to us over hundreds of years from our major world religions and shows how current findings in subatomic particle physics, quantum theory, and laser technology gives us a way of seeing how they may well be agreeing on the same basic truths that construct and maintain our matter and spiritual existence. Larry Dossey, M.D., President of Isthmus Institute and author of "Space, Time, and Medicine" and "Beyond Illness", has written an excellent introduction and endorses Dr. Jerome's work. I believe that any creditable scientist would do the same and certainly every New Thought student should be enthusiastic about the work. This book is not 'another scientific text.' It is that, of course, but is so much more and such 'fun' reading. Take a look at this book which is entertaining, informative, and above all else, a book which has great application to daily living." -- Jack H. Holland, PhD., D.D. -- Theologian, Reviewer of scientific and theological literature for "The New Thought Quarterly," and Director of The Institute for Human Growth and Awareness. "Dr. Jerome's book just might be one of the most important books of this era. It explains the holographic nature of God's consciousness in terms that are understandable." -- Tommy Sellers, communications expert in computer science and laser research. "Dr. Jerome personifies a new breed of human now emerging. He is a scientist who realizes that his science represents only part of the path to understand his existence and his reality. It is an essential part, but incomplete in itself. To be whole, to be balanced in life, he knows it is necessary to discover the path's other essential part. As the parts of the path become visible before him, Dr. Jerome integrates them for us. As he says in his preface: If science is right, and if religion is also right, then they must allude to the same basic truths. The quest to uncover this 'sameness' is the goal of this book This is a sensitive and beautiful book written by an admirable man. It deserves to be read, then pondered, then reread, and finally, referred to often." -- John C. Carls, PhD. in particle physics and author of "What It Means To Be Human."

Download or read book The Pen written by Nicholas Karapondo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is God, and what is humanity's place in the universe? The author attempts to shed light on these archetypal queries through a spiritual tale of love and rejection, death and shamanism, a search for truth and meaning, and ultimately, multidimensional verities and enlightenment. Yet it's verily everyman's journey. On a voyage transcending identification with Ego, the reader is transported to a Presence beyond rational acuity. But the telling and intellectual consideration of this chronicle only gets you so far. It's akin to teaching algebra to a dog; the dog's not going to get it in its present propensity for understanding. It has to evolve. Each and every Now, Choice creates endless quantums of possibilities. The human, intent on continuity of story, abides outside the Shekinah, in Ego, where Destruction propagates. Yet the Eternal State of Being is there, as close as your jugular. At the core of the book is a clarion call for a transformation of consciousness; a spiritual evolution, from Homo sapiens to Homo Spiritus. The author presents a simple-to-grasp but difficult-to-hold-to edict for ascension: Believe, Obey, and Receive. Recounting his own journey to Wisdom, he identifies the direct link which Jesus heard and mastered, and compels awakening readers to wholly integrate into their lives as essential the awesome responsibility of Choice.

This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Download or read book Unified Mind Theory written by Hans J Zeunert and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Unified Mind Theory" falls into 2 parts: the physical and the spiritual Aspect of Creation. The term "Creation" assumes the existence of a Creator, which means if God exists, Creation must be perfect & complete, because God is not subject to time. However, should it be unfinished in some people's mind, then Creation cannot be perfect and complete. We confirm "God does not change His Mind," nor is He subject to any dimension of His own Creation. The physical aspect is that part in us which is strictly mechanical. It is void of life, and it is based on math. This gives us a structure of affirmations on which our present science rests. It describes our 4-dimensional world. However it does not include Life. This is described in the spiritual aspects of Creation which is based on faith and belief in the Creator. It is the description of our 5-dimensional world in perfection and completion.

Download or read book Breakthrough for Spiritual Abundance written by Trevor Bartley and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we are communicating the truths of God's Word, sometimes we need to use words that relate to the individuals we are trying to share with. "This book will help you understand the awareness of a spiritual awakening, to experience the dynamics of the correct consciousness and a connection to the source of life that will bring you to the place of inner peace and abundance." Our opening verse for this book is from John 10:10b, "I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." The Greek word used here for 'life' is Zoë. So, we can conclude that Jesus came to show us how to have and enjoy the God kind of life. As a born again believer, you have been recreated and given a new life code (or DNA) to live by, and Jesus came to show us how to live that new creation reality here on earth. The Bible tells us in John 3:16, For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) [God kind of] life. Then in Romans 6:23 it tells us, "For the wages which sin pays is death, but the bountiful free gift of God is eternal (the God kind of) life through and in union with Jesus Christ our Lord." This eternal life He came to give us is the very nature of God. In John 1:4, we can get a better understanding of what this life will do for us: "In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men." One of the meanings for Light in the dictionary is 'a state of understanding or awareness.' So, we could read this verse like this, 'In Him was the God kind of Life, and the God kind of Life was the state of understanding and awareness for men.'

Download or read book Evolution Of Consciousness written by Florencio J. Perez and published by . This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains that each one of us is an individual Consciousness that is eternal and continually evolving forward. It explains that the Universal Laws of Cause and Effect, Relativity, and Evolution are the guiding principles that propel us onward in our development. The latest scientific knowledge and metaphysical principals are used to answer the questions: Who are we? Why are we the way we are? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What is our destiny? Science is objective and can be fairly well understood by most people. On the other hand, metaphysics is subjective and more difficult to understand. To make the subjective clear, numerous analogies, metaphors, equivalences, and descriptions of familiar experiences are uses. This book explains the basics of the "Law of Cause and Effect" as well as the more complex and metaphysical aspects of "Spiritual Cause and Effect." The "Divine Plan" which may also be called the "Game of Life" is clarified as well. It is important to understand the basics of "Relativity" since we live in a relative universe. Every moment of every day of our lives is lived in a relative environment yet; we are practically oblivious to it. The relativeness of truth, happiness, good, bad, right and wrong are also explained. Charles Darwin introduced us to a very important part of evolution which is the evolution of physical bodies of plants, animals and humans. This book goes far beyond and explains the evolution the instinctive operating mind in plants, animals and humans. There is also a comprehensive explanation of the functions of the human Trainable Mind, the Intellectual Mind, and the Intuitive Mind. But, most important of all is the Evolution ofConsciousness. Consciousness evolves in stages from the very primitive to the advanced stage of the human and beyond. The trials and tribulations of the past human history as well as the wonders that are yet to come in our lives are likewise explained. This included many details of the wonders of life in the Spiritual Domains of our universe. Many misconceptions of the past are also clarified in a logical and simple to understand manner. Some of the misconceptions that are made clear are: The purpose for the large human brain. The purpose of the human upright walking posture. The purpose for the creation of the universe. The purpose and evidence of reincarnation.

Download or read book Creativity written by Matthew Fox and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-06-17 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Original Blessing explores how the highest communion with the Divine can be found right at our fingertips in the simplest expressions of human creativity. Drawn from a sermon that has electrified listeners, here is a concise, powerful meditation on the nature of creativity from Episcopal priest and radical theologian Matthew Fox. Creativity is Fox at his most dynamic: It is immensely practical and leaves the reader with a message to put into action in life. Fox tantalizingly suggests that the most prayerful, most spiritually powerful act a person can undertake is to create, at his or her own level, with a consciousness of the place from which that gift arises.

Download or read book Mortal Grounding written by Richard Chambers Prescott and published by Author House. This book was released on 2008-09-05 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To see more manuscripts by Richard Chambers Prescott go to Scribd.com and enter Grascott or PrescottRC. This manuscript, Mortal Grounding, has a simple thought in mind. To bring together our modern cosmological knowledge with our understanding of what is consciousness. It is something of a task to unite these two styles of comprehension about our existence, as much as it is to join quantum physics with general and special relativity. The idea is that both want to reach the source, the source of what is cosmological and what is consciousness. It seems simple enough. Cosmology studies the creation, searching for the creator of it all, whatever that may be. Consciousness seems to look more at what is the creator in order to understand creation. They are parallel and reversed, but both seek to understand, re-link, comprehend or unite with the Mystery. This Universes Given Moment of reaching, of conscious mortal becoming, grounded on Earth, for the brief moment, life to death, yet in and as a rare something more, the rarest star stuff circling back as consciousness that is able to grasp its origin, without a direction transposed as times beginning. This would be one idea of mortal grounding. Some of the subjects taken up in this endeavor of unification are Pure Gravity, Spacetime Fluid, the Superclustering of Universes, Wave Cosmology, Non-Local Independent Consciousness, the question, is this Logical or Mystical. The text also leans heavily on Tantras explanations, examining the myriad layers of consciousness and their psychological weight, the intriguing erotic energy, the hidden secrets that are rarely discussed and the nature of freedom according to the belief system of Tantra.
