Download or read book Essentiality I A Complete and Scientific Explanation of Existence Spirituality Awakening and Enlightenment written by Mycal Enlightened and published by . This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essentiality I is the first book of the series that presents Essentiality, a Science of Spirituality and a Technology for Enlightenment. The author, Mycal, an enlightened being, explains the true nature of the Creator (God) and Her universe; exactly what is enlightenment; and how to achieve it quickly. Mycal explains all in concrete Western terms (as opposed to the vagueness of Eastern descriptions in Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Zen, etc.). In the Essentiality School of Accelerated Enlightenment, students achieve enlightenment in only 5 years while continuing their normal life. You are an individualization of Essence, a divine particle of the One, a spirit. You have created for yourself the illusion of only being human so you can incarnate inside the Human Matrix and immerse yourself in your Human Drama. Enlightenment is a permanent awakening to Who You Really Are, an immortal spirit, and to your perception of, and communication with, your Divine Essence. Your Shell: Your illusion of human being is a shell of energy that surrounds you-consciousness. It blocks your perception of the One Essence and generates your experience of human being. You-spirit are the creator of your shell. What you have created, you can discreate. Discreation of your shell is the fast path to enlightenment. The Essentiality Being Transformation Technology teaches you how to discreate it. The Human Adventure Game has 5 Stages: Evil, Drama, Awakening, Enlightenment, and Illumination. You-spirit come to Earth is to explore the polarity opposite of your Divine Essence of Love and Power. You are here to savor doing evil and being done to by evil, problems, struggle, conflict, failures, and drama. None of this can you experience being your True Divine Self. But eventually, you will tire of the Human Game, enter the Dark Night of the Old Soul, and want to Return to Essence. That is the time to seek out the Essentiality School.

Download or read book The Purpose of Life written by Nicholas Dima and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Purpose of Life is an essay emphasizing spiritual enlightenment as the ultimate purpose of our existence. Although attracted by the paranormal and accepting the immortality of the soul, the author wanted scientific reasoning! Consequently, he reviewed some of the most important works of the 20th Century on metaphysical philosophy and modern science and combined them with various precepts of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. The conclusion that stands out from all these sources is that we humans are dual beings: as matter we are part of this universe and are mortal creatures, but as souls we belong to a spiritual world and are immortal. And the purpose of life is to reach a higher level of consciousness through spiritual enlightenment...

And many have given up and declared, “One cannot know!” This book unravels the mystery of the self and consciousness, and elucidates it in a comprehensive fashion supported by scientific research.

Upon the discovery of one’s real nature, the pressure of living ceases to exist and the conflict within subsides. Disturbing questions regarding love and relationships, behaviour and morality, and the search for enlightenment are investigated and resolved in such a manner to remove the burden they impose. This publication does not propose to change you, rather it questions the concept of self. Who is this ‘you’? It highlights that the focus should be elsewhere and offers a new perspective.

Download or read book Enlightenment Now written by Steven Pinker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR "My new favorite book of all time." --Bill Gates If you think the world is coming to an end, think again: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science. By the author of the new book, Rationality. Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing. Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature--tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking--which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation. With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.

Download or read book On the Path to Enlightenment written by Chris Hamilton and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Path to Enlightenment: A Hope for Humanity seeks to provide insight into the purpose of life. Author Chris Hamilton explains that it is the lessons we are learning in our everyday lives that define our life's purpose. These lessons give us hope to move forward into the light through love, releasing fear and judgment as we find peace and listen to our inner voice. We also realise that we do have help in our daily life through the guidance we are each given on a daily basis. We were born to experience life in all its many facets-to find love and to live that love. From personal tragedy in Chris's life comes a warm story of understanding our spiritual side through this guidance and ultimately finding peace and forgiveness. She has received what she believes to be divine guidance over a period of time, some of which was channelled to uplift her in times of sadness, doubt, or frustration. She feels it has been given, not for her alone, but for everyone. As our planet moves towards a higher dimension, we, mankind, must move forward with it if we are to remain on the earth in our physical forms. On the Path to Enlightenment seeks to help us make that move. "Profound and uplifting, this book by Chris Hamilton has grown from a long study of esoteric knowledge, channelled guidance, and personal tragedy." -Lawrence and Michael Sartorius, authors of The New Earth
Download or read book A Death on Diamond Mountain written by Scott Carney and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigative reporter explores an infamous case where an obsessive and unorthodox search for enlightenment went terribly wrong. When thirty-eight-year-old Ian Thorson died from dehydration and dysentery on a remote Arizona mountaintop in 2012, The New York Times reported the story under the headline: "Mysterious Buddhist Retreat in the Desert Ends in a Grisly Death." Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, was struck by how Thorson’s death echoed other incidents that reflected the little-talked-about connection between intensive meditation and mental instability. Using these tragedies as a springboard, Carney explores how those who go to extremes to achieve divine revelations—and undertake it in illusory ways—can tangle with madness. He also delves into the unorthodox interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism that attracted Thorson and the bizarre teachings of its chief evangelists: Thorson’s wife, Lama Christie McNally, and her previous husband, Geshe Michael Roach, the supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University, where Thorson died. Carney unravels how the cultlike practices of McNally and Roach and the questionable circumstances surrounding Thorson’s death illuminate a uniquely American tendency to mix and match eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces in a quest to reach an enlightened, perfected state, no matter the cost. Aided by Thorson’s private papers, along with cutting-edge neurological research that reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain and stories of miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals, and tantric rites from former Diamond Mountain acolytes, A Death on Diamond Mountain is a gripping work of investigative journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All near-death experiences (NDEs) change people’s lives for the better. Those affected became enlightened. Humanity worldwide thirsts for spiritualism to become enlightened. It is written in our DNA; it is mankind’s birthright and the next evolution of mankind. Enlightenment can be achieved by all who wish to experience the exhilarating intoxication of being one with the universe. NDE is not necessary to become enlightened. Practicing the principles of the right path with trance meditation activates intuition, causing enlightenment by the superconscious mind to know and be guided through our mission in life. In the past, this was called the flash of genius responsible for the advancement of the sciences and math. Today strife reigns on Earth. Our civilization must evolve to overcome extinctions and escape the fate of previous civilizations. Technology has caught up with spiritualism, and quantum physics has objectively documented global EM bio-rhythmic changes, during global events such as 9/11 and Princess Dianna’s death. This is the global consciousness compiled by the 7.4 billion people on Earth. Global change is inevitable, as is the next human evolution, and the new era of enlightenment is now. This guide offers individual, inspirational, spiritual and thought-provoking concepts for the global citizen.
