Download or read book The Evolution of Religion Religiosity and Theology written by Jay R. Feierman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary approach to religion, religiosity and theology from their earliest beginnings to the present day. It uniquely brings together the natural sciences and theology to explore how religious practice emerged and developed through the four sections into which the book is organized: Evolutionary biology; Philosophical linguistics, psychology and neuroscience; Theology and Anthropology. The volume features an international panel of contributors who develop an innovative picture of religion as a culturally-created social institution; religiosity as a more personal and subjective anthropological element of people expressed through religion; and theology as the study of god. To survive in changing times, living systems — a good characterization of religion, religiosity and theology — all must adaptively evolve. This is a vital study of a rapidly burgeoning field. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars in religious studies and theology as well as in the psychological, sociological, and anthropological study of religion.

Download or read book Learning to Love written by Rodney J. Ferris and published by Possibilities Unlimited Incorporated. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a resource for the spiritual journey and opening the heart. It takes the reader from an image embedded in prehistory of how life can exist and be lived inside of love. Being inside of love is like being in an inner landscape of your true spirit - - a spiritscape. In other words, we are all pure love, speaking spiritually. From that beginning image some key elements of planetary and human history are sketched out, leading to the left-brained world of today, where we find love and peace mostly in lip-service, dreams and myth rather than in reality. This is the dysfunctional, insane world we inhabit today, where war and poverty are endemic and hope is an ephemeral delusion. To address the gap between myth and reality, ten steps are needed to arouse your right-brained capacity for "sacred seeing" which enables and excites the birth of an ability to sense the love in your spiritscape and to embody it in the real world. The process that unfolds is a transformation into an intuitive and synchronistic way of being that you can choose, if you have the courage for personal healing. This book goes beyond mere information and invites the reader to enter within their heart, where love is seeking to manifest. The process awakens your natural leadership capacity as stress is released. Insane living may have you bound up, but the ten steps proposed are simple yet profound. If you are sick of the way things are, if you are willing to look inside that world and breathe peace in your soul, and if you want to make a lasting contribution to the salvation of the earth and its humanity, this book is for you. The author contends you can choose to live life in your heart and be in peace by so doing. This process leads you naturally to want to contribute to creating love and peace in our world.
Download or read book Renewing Our Minds in Love written by Tina Smith and published by Renown Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a Christian leader who isn't sure how to integrate science and the Bible in helping your community find healing? Integrating neuroscience with the Christian faith is critical because leaders are ignoring the need for the brain to be rewired. They need the tools to facilitate this process. Pastors and counsellors remind people to think, read, meditate, and more, but that does not address critical realities of neuroscience that have been proven through countless scientific studies. Unfortunately, there has been the perception that science and the Bible cannot be integrated into a greater awareness of how people can help, which has resulted in opposition from both the scientific community and the Christian community. The body of Christ must remember that we are designed in the image of God, with the capacity to heal through the rewiring of our brain. Tina J. Smith is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and Certified Gottman Educator for couples. She is the founder of Tina J. Smith & Associates Counselling & Psychotherapy, the founder and executive director of the not-for-profit charity Selah Treatment Centre, and the radio host of Rewired by Love. Tina specializes in trauma and attachment treatment for children, youth, and adults. Passionate in her belief that healing always begins in relationship, she is full of hope for everyone who strives to make a difference in their life. In this research-based, faith-centered book, you will learn: The harmony that exists between science and Scripture Why it is important to tend to the brain and the body while pursuing healing Tools to overcome fear and to pursue love and community How to grow the fruits of the Spirit in relationship The value of truly being with people where they're at How to create a safe space in your sphere(s) of influence The source of true freedom, peace, love, and healing We can help people as we bring together the disciplines of Bible study, prayer, and christian practices with neuroscience. Our brains can reform and become healthier when we develop healthy thought patterns, self-talk, spiritual disciplines, and relationships. The fact that we have the capacity to change our brain has profound implications for science and for spiritual transformation and discipleship. Renewing Our Minds in Love is the foundation for tearing down our walls and healing our wounds.

Download or read book Liberation Through Love written by Lollie Schweitzer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants love and needs love. That desire for love is the driving force behind many of the major decisions we make. This need for love carries a deeper meaning than we know. It already lies within us as the human spirit and is calling out to be recognized. "Liberation Through Love" confirms that we are physical and mental beings, but points out that the reality of our spiritual being has been lost in our awareness. Differentiating the spiritual and mental, but showing their interdependence, this book gives the reader an understanding of the spirit within and why it must be a conscious part of one's life. "Liberation Through Love" takes the reader into the often-ignored realm of spiritual discovery while creating awareness of the natural unfolding within the person as spirit is integrated into all of life and the human experience. Throughout the book, it is stressed that the natural and eternal presence of divine love within every human is the source and motivation behind all of life and is one's true reality. That love is our "Common Denominator" in this human existence. In that love we find our personal identity and our connection to others on this planet. We can see all of the once trusted systems falling apart and there are no answers at this time. We have to find a new and better way for our global society. If we're going to have a world living in peace and harmony we must create and expand structures or systems that nourish all people with love and respect, at the same time reflecting the reality of spirit or a higher consciousness to the rest of the world. We do that when we have a greater understanding of our human nature. With that understanding we are able to live with personal balance and harmony within ourselves so we can be a helpful example to others. When others see how wonderful life can be, even other countries, they'll want it for themselves and will follow. Love will unfold in a seemingly contagious manner because, in truth, that's the natural way for humans to live. Love is the only answer for out problems and must be our personal and collective motivation as we move forward into a new and better world. This is the most important and is now the greatest human challenge. "Liberation Through Love" can be purchased on Amazon.com, CreateSpace eStore, and on liberationthroughlove.com

Download or read book Aligned With Love written by Michelle Carbotte and published by ISBN Canada. This book was released on 2022-06-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those seekers who embark on a spiritual journey, many questions drive them to know more. Does God exist? Can you have a relationship with the Creator without religion? What is creation's purpose? For that matter, what is my purpose? Why do bad things happen? Who or what is the Christ? Who is Jesus (Yeshua)? How can I know what is true and what is not? Even if you have been reading the bible for many years, the answers to many of these questions may surprise & enlighten you. I make an attempt to dive deep into the true meanings of ancient texts including the old and new testaments. This fresh and innovative way of reading scriptures explores the intention of the Divine Mind and what it reveals is the truth about just how important we all are to the Creator's holy vision. Learn what it means to be a new being created in the likeness of the entity we refer to as God. You can't find God through astronomy; you won't find immortality through biology. The Kingdom of Heaven can't be attained through philosophy. I believe there is only one way that leads to these things and that way is through the spirit. It is important to understand that not only is mankind spiritual by nature but everything around us is based in energy and as we get to know ourselves I believe it is important to know our environment from this perspective. Everything from the air we breathe to the chairs we sit on, to the center of our galaxy is connected to us as energy and I believe this energy is a key component to understanding our spirituality. This text came about as a consequence of my own personal search for knowledge. It is a reflection of the path I am on and it can be a guidebook for the path that you are on. I believe the world is polarizing. Yin and Yang, good and evil are becoming more and more pronounced. I believe that mankind has been brought into this reality to learn and to make decisions that are really spiritual in nature. To this end, we have been given free will to navigate what is sometimes very treacherous terrain. With each challenge we are tasked to make a choice. The right one is always aligned with love. When things have gone wrong in my life, no matter what it was, eventually I realized there was always something in my actions which was askew, which was not aligned with love. Once this was acknowledged, I was able to seek out a solution based on reacting in a different manner, one more aligned with love. This new way of handling life's hardest questions and most painful experiences produced a life altering personal transformation along with inner peace and strength. Many great writings have influenced my beliefs but I grew up with the Old and New Testament and found much wisdom and logic in the pages of the Bible. When clumped together, passages with similar themes reveal a pattern; a clear and vivid explanation of God, the universe and mankind. This knowledge, once scattered within the massive pages of the Bible, is now focused and organized, and presents itself as an opportunity, for those who seek spiritual things, to understand the intentions of God in a fantastic new way. Whether you are familiar with the Bible or not, I believe there is important information for you, in the pages of this book. I have not changed the words of scripture but let the words speak for themselves. This book touches on many different subjects and can be a source of reference for you to continue to revisit for the rest of your life. I still return to the book when I feel out of sorts and it never fails to bring me peace and put me back in alignment with love. I invite you to take a look at what the Holy Books really say about who we are, why we are here, and what will become of us.

You can use science to find answers on how to be happy." From that despair, the author now enjoys a fantastic life with solutions that work for all problems life presents. The transformation is due to Spiritual Engineering, a simple process that gives anyone the opportunity to: Achieve self acceptance and healthy self-love Release the past Build extraordinary relationships Avoid anger, worry, anxiety and resentments Live with peace and happiness
Download or read book Mindful Spirituality written by Duncan S. Ferguson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world, contrary to popular understanding, is not less religious but in many ways more religious than ever. Two issues seem to be emerging in this resurgence. One is the need for a spiritual center that gives integration, a sense of inner peace, ethical guidance, and meaning and direction in life. It is present in most of the world’s great religious traditions and present elsewhere as humans seek to find their way in a confusing, conflicted, and rapidly changing world. Accompanying this quest for a deeper spirituality is the “God question” and a desire to understand the divine in new ways that match a contemporary worldview. This book, Mindful Spirituality, invites the reader to find a thoughtful, credible, and satisfying way to address these two major concerns. While starting within a Christian frame of reference, the book is not exclusive, but ecumenical and interfaith in spirit. It is especially helpful to those with no set spiritual pathway and those disenchanted with traditional approaches that seem out of date and for another era. In a deep and sacred way, it invites the reader to reach upward for a thoughtful way of understanding transcendence, to open inward for a mature and gratifying spirituality, and to expand outward in responsible and loving service.

Book excerpt: The Love is the second installment of the award-winning Oracle Institute foundational trilogy. This international collection of essays, articles, and poetry explores the core message relayed to us by all the prophets: "Love is the Way."To underscore God's most primordial and preeminent commandment, both classic and new selections are presented in this anthology, including contributions from best-selling authors and Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, including: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu Kyi, Maya Angelou, Wendell Berry, Madeleine L'Engle, Dr. David Suzuki, Bill McKibben, and Maxine Hong Kingston. Humanity is at the dawn of the New Millennium - the prophesied era of peace and love that represents the fifth stage of humanity's collective spiritual evolution. However, we shall not survive this critical juncture of human history nor reach our God-given potential unless we embrace each other and our planet. Therefore, until a unifying theosophy emerges to end sectarian strife, humanity should adopt the simple yet elusive "Religion of Love."
