Book excerpt: "Eternal Humans and the Finite Gods" is a comprehensive book that guides the reader into journeys within oneself and beyond. It introduces a mother and daughter who genuinely desire truth, and they first utilized religion to find it. What should have been a path of awakening instead took them down a rabbit hole of diminished choice, knowledge, and freedom. This culminated in Talea's mother being used as a tool to spread the "truth" via prophecies she received, and Talea was being groomed toward a similar path. It took great effort and insight to climb out of that hole and stop the manipulation, which Talea shows in her realizations step-by-step. Popular books derived from otherworldly sources rarely if ever critique the gods or angelic guides of those messages. If criticism is found, people often turn to another religion ruled by similar entities. Talea's book is unique in that she not only analyzes her mother's prophecies, the Bible s, and various other sources, but she also brings us outside of mainstream spiritual beliefs to a more complete picture. Figuring out who was spiritually directing Talea and her mother and the reason why were pivotal steps to gain back themselves. They have learned how to separate truths from lies, which religions and New Age spiritualities are notorious in combining. Research into the roots of Judeo-Christianity shows evidence in Egypt, Sumer, Turkey, and Greece. Talea uncovers historical and otherworldly identities of Judaism s patriarchs and Christianity s demigods, and she uses archaeological and cultural evidence as support. The transition from Judaism to Christianity was generally smooth because, as Talea asserts, their factions interweave almost seamlessly along with purposeful division due to a greater agenda. Theories about an Apocalypse and New Earth are key topics for our current time, and real-world politics play a prevalent role toward a one world order under God. Talea also approaches prevalent scientific beliefs hindered by fractal, quantum mechanics. Is there really a realm based upon eternal life and not death and reincarnation? She says "Yes," showing how she came to that conclusion with theories about other dimensions and universes. Science and religion share multiple similarities. Finally, she expounds upon key aspects of our wonderfully multifaceted selves that include energy matter beyond our mainstream understanding. With the extraordinary knowledge presented in this book, there is arguably more security and sense of self gained that ultimately empowers us more than any prevalent religion or spirituality can. We have more abilities and choices than what we have been led to believe, and we can choose our own paths in life, including the afterlife, which this book also explores.

Book excerpt: The third edition of Eternal Humans and the Finite Gods is a comprehensive book that brings the reader into journeys within oneself and beyond. It introduces a mother and daughter who genuinely desire truth, and they first utilized religion to find it. What should have been a path of awakening had taken them down a rabbit hole of diminished choice, knowledge, and freedom. This culminated in Talea's mother being used as a tool to spread the "truth" via prophecies she received, and Talea was being groomed toward a similar path. It took great effort and insight to climb out of that hole and stop the manipulation, which Talea shows in her realizations step-by-step. Popular books derived from otherworldly sources rarely if ever critique the gods or angelic guides of those messages. If criticism is found, people often turn to another religion ruled by similar entities. Talea's book is unique in that she not only analyzes her mother's prophecies, the Bible's, and various other sources, but she also brings us outside of mainstream spiritual beliefs to a more complete picture. Figuring out who was spiritually directing Talea and her mother and the reason why were pivotal steps to gaining back themselves. They have learned how to separate truths from lies, which religions and New Age spiritualities are notorious in combining. Research into the roots of Judeo-Christianity shows notable evidence in Egypt, Sumer, Anatolia (pre-Turkey), and Greece. Talea uncovers historical and sometimes otherworldly identities of Judaism's patriarchs and Christianity's demigods, and she uses archaeological and cultural evidence as support. The transition from Judaism to Christianity was feasible because their mainly similar factions interweave almost seamlessly--along with purposeful division--due to a greater agenda. Theories about an Apocalypse and a New Earth are key topics for our current time, and real-world politics play a prevalent role toward a one world order "under God." Talea argues that science and religion share multiple similarities, especially in relation to scientific ideas hindered by fractals and quantum mechanics. Is there really a realm based upon eternal life without death and reincarnation? She says "Yes," showing how she came to that conclusion with investigation into theories about other dimensions and universes. This third and final edition goes where few books have ventured--revealing rational explanations for abstract concepts such as a higher self, transfiguration and ascension, "pole shifts," and the expansion of the cosmos contrary to the religiosity and unrealism perceived in the New Age community. Talea seeks knowledge toward the very beginning of existence; she invites the reader to stretch one's mind and see how our physical reality emerged from a much larger system whose foundation is neither chaos nor a God. Finally, Talea expounds upon key aspects of one's wonderfully multifaceted self, which includes layers of energy "matter" that we can individually experience. With the extraordinary knowledge presented in this book, we can arguably gain more security and sense of self to empower us more than any prevalent religion or spirituality can. We have more abilities and choices than what we have been led to believe, and we can choose our own paths in life, including the afterlife, which this book also explores.

Download or read book Hegel on the Proofs and Personhood of God written by Robert R. Williams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hegel's analysis of his culture identifies nihilistic tendencies in modernity i.e., the death of God and end of philosophy. Philosophy and religion have both become hollowed out to such an extent that traditional disputes between faith and reason become impossible because neither any longer possesses any content about which there could be any dispute; this is nihilism. Hegel responds to this situation with a renewal of the ontological argument (Logic) and ontotheology, which takes the form of philosophical trinitarianism. Hegel on the Proofs and Personhood of God examines Hegel's recasting of the theological proofs as the elevation of spirit to God and defense of their content against the criticisms of Kant and Jacobi. It also considers the issue of divine personhood in the Logic and Philosophy of Religion. This issue reflects Hegel's antiformalism that seeks to win back determinate content for truth (Logic) and the concept of God. While the personhood of God was the issue that divided the Hegelian school into left-wing and right-wing factions, both sides fail as interpretations. The center Hegelian view is both virtually unknown, and the most faithful to Hegel's project. What ties the two parts of the book together--Hegel's philosophical trinitarianism or identity as unity in and through difference (Logic) and his theological trinitarianism, or incarnation, trinity, reconciliation, and community (Philosophy of Religion)--is Hegel's Logic of the Concept. Hegel's metaphysical view of personhood is identified with the singularity (Einzelheit) of the concept. This includes as its speculative nucleus the concept of the true infinite: the unity in difference of infinite/finite, thought and being, divine-human unity (incarnation and trinity), God as spirit in his community.

Download or read book Gods and Humans in the Ancient Near East written by Tyson L. Putthoff and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book, Tyson Putthoff explores the relationship between gods and humans, and between divine nature and human nature, in the Ancient Near East. In this world gods lived among humans. The two groups shared the world with one another, each playing a special role in maintaining order in the cosmos. Humans also shared aspects of a godlike nature. Even in their natural condition, humans enjoyed a taste of the divine state. Indeed, gods not only lived among humans, but also they lived inside them, taking up residence in the physical body. As such, human nature was actually a composite of humanity and divinity. Putthoff offers new insights into the ancients' understanding of humanity's relationship with the gods, providing a comparative study of this phenomenon from the third millennium BCE to the first century CE. His book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, philosophy, theology and anthropology of the Ancient Near East and the biblical world"--

Download or read book Desirable God written by Roger Burggraeve and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human fascination with images, and the idolatry or idolization of images as the source of desire, passion and terror, is treated in this book. The first part enters more deeply into religious idolatry, past and present. It treats the biblical, the early-Jewish as well as the Christian views on monotheism and the prohibition against images, as source of authentic humanism or as source of intolerance and violence. In the second part, the focus shifts onto a number of contemporary, profane idols and gods: the nationalist fascination for one's own land and people, and the fear or hate towards foreigners; the rampant preoccupation with (genetic) health, in a context of body culture and aestheticization, of which the postmodern sport idols have become the great 'icons'; the current image- and screen-culture and all forms of audiovisual exorcisms; and last but not least the ongoing process of economization and globalization, with an expanding culture of 'branding' logos.

Download or read book The Politics of Immortality in Rosenzweig Barth and Goldberg written by Mårten Björk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting the central importance of theological configurations of immortality and eternal life from 1914-1945, Mårten Björk explores the key writings of Franz Rosenzweig, Karl Barth and Oskar Goldberg to situate their ideas in relation to the political turmoil of the period, including the rise of social Darwinism, nationalism and fascism. The conversations happening among Christian and Jewish theologians and philosophers on the nature of immortality and eternal life during the period constitute what Björk calls a 'politics of immortality'. The speculative question of eternal life became a way to address the meaning of 'a good life' in a period when millions of lives were lost to war, camps and prisons. This book shows how theology was related to central political concepts and ideas of the era, revealing how the question of immortality pursued by Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg became a way to resist the reduction of life to race, blood and soil. By situating the exact political consequences of theological and metaphysical theories of immortality and eternal life, Björk's discussion of Rosenzweig, Barth and Goldberg confronts the perennial question on the relation between life and death and exposes the important connections between political theology and philosophical posthumanism.
Download or read book The Truth about God 2012 2022 Ascension and Who We Really Are written by Theresa Talea and published by . This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book was written for people who want profound love and truth. It addresses every important topic in this tumultuous time surrounding the religious and New Age hype of 2012 and Armageddon up to the hope of ascension. Theresa Talea bravely exposes the realms of the gods and angels because she grew up the daughter of a prophet, receiving numerous prophecies until she gradually realized something off about the messages. Her quest for the truth, no matter how difficult the path, uncovered the many layers of not only herself but also the cosmos and beyond. She presents significant history of the Earth and Milky Way galaxy, showing our position and options toward a proactive and hopeful future. Talea believes knowledge is power, and the insightful knowledge she provides will connect the dots that her predecessors misrepresented or left unanswered. She does not use the word truth lightly-this book's bold assertions are based in reality. It is up to the reader to choose to accept reality while learning to gain true love and strength, or to lose oneself to the sleeper state of religious and spiritual programming.
