Download or read book Paths to God written by Ram Dass and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or “paths for coming to union with God.” In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita’s principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life. While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.

Download or read book Sacred Pathways written by Gary Thomas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Download or read book Pathways to Joy written by Dave DeLuca and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago, Swami Vivekananda transformed Western thinking. He showed that, far from being an exotic novelty, Hinduism is an important, legitimate spiritual tradition with valuable lessons for the West. Pathways to Joy is a selection of 108 of his sacred teachings on Vedanta philosophy. In accessible and powerful prose, Vivekananda illuminates the four classical yoga paths — karma, bhakti, raja, and jnana — for the different natures of humankind. The messages focus on the oneness of existence; the divinity of the soul; the truth in all religions; and unifying with the Divine within. Invaluable and inspiring, the selections also explore karma, maya, rebirth, and other great revelations of Hinduism.

Download or read book Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality written by Ayon Maharaj and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Ramakrishna is widely known as a nineteenth-century Indian mystic who affirmed the harmony of all religions on the basis of his richly varied spiritual experiences and eclectic religious practices, both Hindu and non-Hindu. In Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality, Ayon Maharaj argues that Sri Ramakrishna was also a sophisticated philosopher of great contemporary relevance. Through a careful study of Sri Ramakrishna's recorded oral teachings in the original Bengali, Maharaj reconstructs his philosophical positions and analyzes them from a cross-cultural perspective. Sri Ramakrishna's spiritual journey culminated in the exalted state of "vijñana," his term for the "intimate knowledge" of God as the Infinite Reality that is both personal and impersonal, with and without form, immanent in the universe and beyond it. This expansive spiritual standpoint of vijñana, Maharaj contends, opens up a new paradigm for addressing central issues in cross-cultural philosophy of religion, including divine infinitude, religious pluralism, mystical experience, and the problem of evil. Sri Ramakrishna's vijñana-based religious pluralism--when grasped in all its subtlety--proves to have major philosophical advantages over dominant Western models. Moreover, his mystical testimony and teachings not only cut across long-standing debates about the nature of mystical experience but also bolster recent defenses of its epistemic value. Maharaj further demonstrates that Sri Ramakrishna's unique response to the problem of evil resonates strongly with Western "soul-making" theodicies and contemporary theories of skeptical theism. A pioneering interdisciplinary study of one of India's most important philosopher-mystics, Maharaj's book is essential reading for scholars and students in philosophy of religion, theology, religious studies, and Hindu studies.

Download or read book Created Human Divinity written by John H.D. Lucy and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take control of your life, especially spiritually, knowing that God has created you for greatness. Claim the greatness that God intends for you now, and bring new courage into your life. Few distinctions are more fundamental to classical Christian theology than that between God and creation. In this remarkable book John Lucy challenges this fundamental distinction, proposing that Christians should reckon instead with the category of created human divinity. Lucy is to be commended for the remarkable range of theologians he engages, and for making his case with boldness and clarity. Good scholarship makes us think, and Created Human Divinity does just that. -R. Kendall Soulen, Professor of Systematic Theology at Wesley Theological Seminary

Download or read book Realizing Our Divinity written by Curtis A. Vigness and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes we need today must begin with a realization, an understanding of our truest existence. Throughout the course of humanity, we have been misguided by a false sense of who we are. This misunderstanding is the root of all the perceived problems we endure as individuals, as well as on a global level. The issues we have in our personal lives, the struggles we face in our relationships, the economic hardships we encounter; and all the global dilemmas, the violence, the greed, the hatred, all originate from this misperception of who we all are. The reason this is not better known is because we have all been deceived in the way we have been taught to interpret the world. We have been led to believe in a life of separateness and in an existence that simply isnt real. We need to examine what we each believe to be the most fundamental truths about life. When we begin to explore, deep within ourselves, the mystery of life will reveal itself to us. The challenges we face and the hardships we endure will not dissipate until we realize the truth. When you are ready to make real, lasting change in your life, you must begin by taking responsibility for it all. By becoming the change you wish to see, you will realize the truth about life.

Download or read book In Quest for Divinity The True Path of Humanity written by By a Student and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that humanity is going through a spiritual awakening that is driving it into a quest for self-knowledge. This quest will, in time, bring humanity to the gates of self-realization and the inevitable acceptance that divinity is not only an outward manifestation but that it is innate and inherent, and forms the core of being of each human life. This quest is a profoundly personal one, and as such it should challenge all preconceived notions and structured beliefs. If you take your quest in earnest, the simple narrative of these experiences will prove to be real gems along the way. The author in writing this book brings to the surface in very simple terms a new understanding of Divinity that will hopefully move the concept from the halls of the theologians and esoterists to the avid minds of humanity, where it is most needed.
