Book excerpt: The Near Death Experience: A Reader is the most comprehensive collection of NDE cases and interpretations ever assembled. This book encompasses a broad range of disciplines: psychological researchers discuss cognitive models and Jungian theories of meaningful archetypal phenomena; the biological perspectivedescribes how brains near death may produce soothing endorphins, optical illusions, and convincing hallucinations. Philosophers present empirical analyses and images in archetypal theories, and the symbolic language of comparative phenomenological theories. Christian, Jewish and Mormon responses to NDEs outline the religious perspective, and the mystical and spiritual interpretations of NDEs are also explored.
Download or read book Near Death Experiences written by Ornella Corazza and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near death experiences fascinate everyone, from theologians to sociologists and neuroscientists. This groundbreaking book introduces the phenomenon of NDEs, their personal impact and the dominant scientific explanations. Taking a strikingly original cross-cultural approach and incorporating new medical research, it combines new theories of mind and body with contemporary research into how the brain functions. Ornella Corazza analyses dualist models of mind and body, discussing the main features of NDEs as reported by many people who have experienced them. She studies the use of ketamine to reveal how characteristics of NDEs can be chemically induced without being close to death. This evidence challenges the conventional ‘survivalist hypothesis’, according to which the near death experience is a proof of the existence of an afterlife. This remarkable book concludes that we need to move towards a more integrated view of embodiment, in order to understand what human life is and also what it can be. Ornella Corazza is a NDE researcher at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. In 2004-5 she was a Member of the 21st Century Centre of Excellence (COE) ‘Program on the Construction of Death and Life Studies’ at the University of Tokyo.
Download or read book The Gifts of Near Death Experiences written by Dennis Linn and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare to immerse yourself in accounts of real near-death experiences and discover the wisdom they have to offer you. Near-death experiences (NDEs) are common, well-documented, and similar across cultures throughout the world. Current estimates are that between four and fifteen percent of the world’s population have had an NDE. Some of the fascination with NDEs comes from the fact that they often result in great leaps in personal growth. These leaps are characterized by the loss of the fear of death, the healing of deep hurts, an increase in self-esteem and compassion for others, a sense of union with all things, and a clearer sense of how to fulfill one’s purpose in life. This is a book that teaches readers how to reap the benefits of NDEs without having to experience trauma. In the course of their many workshops around the world, the authors have discovered that when one immerses oneself in accounts of NDEs, one can experience love, hope, healing, and a sense of purpose. This is the only book that systematically encourages the reader to create a spiritual and psychological healing practice based on NDEs. Each chapter includes an account of a fascinating NDE, followed by a series of questions, meditations, exercises, and video links. The reader is encouraged to contemplate these stories and their own lives. It is truly a profound guide to both living and dying. Praise for The Gifts of Near-Death Experiences “A fresh and exciting perspective to understanding near-death experiences.

Download or read book ORPHANED AT FREEDOM A SUBCONTINENT S TALE written by Arun Bhatnagar and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of August, 1947, two nations – the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan – came into being through a Partition of the British Indian Empire. The Princely States, which owed their existence to the British, acceded to either of the two Dominions. Jinnah, as Governor-General of Pakistan, and Nehru, as Prime Minister of India, took the oath of office swearing allegiance to George VI, who was still the King of both the Dominions but no longer the Rex Imperator or King-Emperor. The Dominions eventually emerged as the Republic of India in 1950 and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in 1956. Twenty-five years on, in 1972, a third country – the People’s Republic of Bangladesh – was born out of the liquidation of East Pakistan. A United India – if it had been preserved – may have been an equal, militarily and economically, of the People’s Republic of China. Arun Bhatnagar’s Book is an engaging and absorbing account of a Subcontinent that passed through the High Noon of Empire, saw unity dissolving into division and experienced euphoria and despair, progress and tragedy, victory and defeat. The narrative, during the years 1911-1999, traverses (by way of the life-story of an Indian member of the ICS, later a practicing Barrister and Politician) various dimensions of history, politics, economy, culture and administration. The Afterword conveys the reader into the twenty-first century when unfriendly neighbours are in alliance to thwart New Delhi’s interests.
Download or read book Near Death Experiences written by Anthony Peake and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the bestselling author of Is There Life After Death? and Cheating the Ferryman, Anthony Peake has studied the phenomena surrounding what happens when we die. In Near-Death Experiences, he takes a look at a phenomenon that has garnered great attention from both academics and scientists who study the workings of the brain and the physiological events that are associated with this seemingly inexplicable state. By marrying up anecdotal evidence with empirical scientific evidence, Peake proffers the latest theories behind what we call 'near-death experiences' and how those investigating them are trying to reconcile an apparent state of awareness on the part of the person concerned with the fact that clinically they are considered by physicians to be in a state of clinical death with no signs of bodily functions. It makes for a fascinating read that takes us into an area of neuroscientific research that is continually evolving.

Download or read book Head Waggling in Delhi written by Eytan Uliel and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, India’s mystical allure has drawn in visitors in search of enlightenment, riches, romance, and adventure. In the mid-1990s, as a precocious twenty-three-year-old, author Eytan Uliel and his girlfriend set off on a journey of discovery, leaving behind the comforts of Sydney to backpack in India for four months. Limited to a budget of twelve dollars a day, they lived, ate and traveled like locals. The journey around the sub-continent took them north to south, east to west: from the holy city of Varanasi to the modern-day playground of Mumbai; from the desert fortresses of Rajasthan to the bucolic backwaters of Kerala. Along the way they sipped tea in Darjeeling, experienced a train ride from hell to Madras, got bit parts in a Bollywood film, ogled at the incomparable Taj Mahal, hung with hippies in Goa, and met a whole lifetimes’ worth of fascinating, entertaining and memorable characters. Head Waggling in Delhi offers timeless insight into life on the road in India—the good, the bad and the downright bizarre—filled with wry observation, affection, and humor.

Download or read book Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent written by Christopher Tadgell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 1143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to the tracing of continuity across sectarian divides, Christopher Tadgell’s History of Architecture in India (1989) was the first modern monograph to draw together in one volume all the strands of India’s pre-colonial architectural history – from the Vedic and Native traditions of early India, through Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and secular architecture. This comprehensive revision, Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent: From the Mauryas to the Mughals, expands the structure to acknowledge the great advance in scholarship across this extremely complex subject over the last three decades. An understanding of Indian history and religion is the basis for understanding the complex pattern of relationships in the evolution of architecture in the subcontinent. Therefore, background material covers major invasions, migrations, dynastic conflicts and cultural and commercial connections, the main religious developments and their significance and repercussions, and external architectural precedents. While avoiding the usual division of the subject into ‘Buddhist and Hindu’ and ‘Islamic’ parts in order to trace continuity, the importance of religion, symbolism and myth to the development of characteristic Indian architectural forms in all their richness and complexity is fully explained in this fully illustrated account of the subcontinent’s architecture.
Download or read book How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World written by Nick Collins and published by Pen and Sword Maritime. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-wide maritime trade has been the essential driver of wealth-creation, economic progress and global human contact. Trade and exchange of ideas have been at the heart of economic, social, political, cultural and religious life and maritime international law. These claims are borne out by the history of maritime trade beginning in the Indian Ocean and connecting to Southeast Asia, Japan, the Americas, East Africa, the Middle East especially the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean and Europe. This development predates the end of the Ice Age with worldwide flooding and stimulated the establishment of land-based civilizations in the above regions with particular effect on the Greek and Roman empires and even China's 'Celestial' empire. The Indian subcontinent was the original major player in maritime trade, linking oceans and regions. Global maritime trade declined with the fall of Mediterranean empires and the 'dark age' in Europe but revived with Indian Ocean and Asian maritime networks. Shipping and trade studies are hugely practical but can be technical, legalistic and even dull for non-specialists. But this history is a broadly based and exciting account of human interaction at multiple levels, for general readers, specialists and practitioners. It is based on huge reading and rare sources and with an attractive writing style, and full of fascinating sidelights illuminating the historical narrative - and from an author with lifelong experience in international shipping.
