I have a whole new vision of the possibilities of the Bible now." Y.S. "I really cannot express how much your moderate, rational and overwhelmingly friendly view on things has changed my attitude towards true spirituality and made me realize that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you " N.S. "Your interpretation of the Bible is a breath of fresh air. Your non-literal view of the Bible would be considered heresy or satanic by some. Thank you for taking a stand and teaching a message so sound that it does not require a man to be fearful, ignorant or brainwashed to believe." M.T. "I have fought a spiritual battle in my head and heart for years. Finally, your teachings have brought peace to me and I no longer feel that I am doomed for not following a particular religion. My mind is healthier than it has been in years. I cannot begin to tell you the stability I have been feeling." K.K.

You are able to advise others, justify perceptions and provoke thought and contemplation of realness without ever losing your tone of smile." D.S. "This is great, John, I love what you do. The fact that what you're teaching is SO obvious to so many, I see as a really good sign." D.M. "I praise God for the enlightenment you share.

Download or read book Selfless Persons written by Steven Collins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to explain carefully and sympathetically the Buddhist doctrine of anatta ('not-self'), which denies the existence of any self, soul or enduring essence in human beings. The author relates this doctrine to its cultural and historical context, particularly to its Brahmanical background, and shows how the Theravada Buddhist tradition has constructed a philosophical and psychological account of personal identity and continuity on the apparently impossible basis of the denial of self.

Download or read book The Core of the Self written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital \Media. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CORE OF THE SELF logically follows 'The Soul of Being' (1998) as a major text in which the various aphoristic cycles spiral towards a new summit identified, in this case, with the core of the self conceived in intensely metaphysical terms. The writing of this author of course goes on, as does his doggedly logical pursuit of Truth, way beyond this particular title, but here it achieves a degree of definitiveness in connection with its main subjects that it would be difficult if not impossible to refute.

Download or read book Magnus Dei written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-04-18 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With some twenty-eight cycles of numbered aphorisms, MAGNUS DEI is something of a magnus opus, even if still at quite some rung-like distance from the top rung of John O'Loughlin's ladder-like literary oeuvre. Nevertheless, with a number of elementally-conditioned quadruplicities and gender-conditioned dichotomies that open up new vistas of insight and logical certitude, this work brings the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism a significant stage closer to its definitive realization, as we analyze the various quadruplicities in relation to the fundamental gender dichotomy which divides objectivity from subjectivity and soma from psyche or, in common parlance, body from mind, and draw appropriate conclusions.

Download or read book Soul Psychology written by Joshua David Stone and published by Light Technology Publishing. This book was released on 1995-08-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are tens of thousands of self-help books on psychology and human relationships; however, there are very few that integrate the topics of the soul and spirit into the picture. Most books on this subject focus on personality-level self-actualization. The new wave in the field of psychology is transpersonal or soul psychology, which will lead to monadic psychology for the more advanced students of the path. The entire understanding of psychology is completely changed when the soul is properly integrated. It has been said that personality-level self-actualization brings happiness, soul-level self-actualization brings joy, and monadic- and spiritual-level self-actualization bring bliss.

Download or read book Selfless Love and Human Flourishing in Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch written by Julia T. Meszaros and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age of self-affirmation and self-assertion, 'selfless love' can appear as a threat to the lover's personal well-being. This perception jars with the Biblical promise that we gain our life through losing it and therefore calls for a theological response. In conversation with the Protestant theologian Paul Tillich and the atheistic moral philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch, Selfless Love and Human Flourishing in Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch enquires into the anthropological grounds on which selfless love can be said to build up, rather than undermine, the lover's self. It proposes that while the implausibility of selfless love was furthered by the modern deconstruction of the self, both Tillich and Murdoch utilize this very deconstruction towards explicating and restoring the link between selfless love and human flourishing. Julia T. Meszaros shows that they use the modern diagnosis of the human being's lack of a stable and independent self as manifest in Sartre's existentialism in support of an understanding of the self as relational and fallen. This leads them to view a loving orientation away from self and a surrender to the other as critical to the full flourishing of human selfhood. In arguing that Tillich and Murdoch defend the link between selfless love and human flourishing through reference to the human being's ontological selflessness, Meszaros closely engages Søren Kierkegaard's earlier attempt to keep selfless love and human flourishing in a productive, dialectical tension. She also examines the breakdown of this tension in the later figures of Anders Nygren, Simone Weil, and Jean-Paul Sartre, and addresses the pitfalls of this breakdown. Her examination concludes by arguing that the link between selfless love and human flourishing would be strengthened by a more resolute endorsement of a personal God, and of the reciprocal nature of selfless love.

Download or read book Transforming the Soul written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 9 lectures, Berlin, October 14-December 9, 1909 (CW 58) A previous translation of this work: Metamorphoses of the Soul: Paths of Experience, vol. 1. In a key series of lectures on personal development, Rudolf Steiner explains that the central mission of spiritual science is to enable people to ascend, in full consciousness, to knowledge of spiritual realities. But, given that the means to achieve spiritual perception are now widely available, there is the danger that some individuals will gain access to the spiritual world whilst harboring impure motives. This can lead to a distorted understanding and vision of that world. Steiner s emphasis, therefore, is on the preparatory steps the metamorphosis and purification of the human soul required for achieving true spiritual enlightenment. Life itself teaches and prepares us for progress, and Anthroposophy explains and brings this to consciousness. In some of his most lucid lectures, Steiner describes the missions of anger, truth and reverence, the significance of human character, the meaning of asceticism and illness, and the phenomenon of egoism. He also clarifies the differences between Buddhism and Christianity, describes the goal of spiritual science, and makes some esoteric observations about the moon. Throughout the talks Steiner refers to many significant historical figures, including St Augustine, Coleridge, Leonardo da Vinci, Madame Blavatsky, Goethe, Homer, and Shakespeare. This volume is a translation of Metamorphosen des Seelenlebens - Pfade der Seelenerlebnisse: Erster Teil (CW 58)."

Download or read book Love Light written by Clayten Tylor and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Swedenborg's spiritual experiences of Heaven and Hell from an esoteric perspective as a feeling, the language of angels and spirits. To perceive this spiritual feeling, begins the regeneration process that develops an inner perception of celestial love, as spiritual light. When we can perceive love and light as a feeling as it expresses through our physical senses, we can start to affect our own psycho-spiritual development to evolve from a sensual to a spiritual feeling of conjugial love. As we examine love and light as a spiritual feeling through heaven and hell, we too begin to experience a deeper spiritual awareness, which can initiate a personal communication with the Divine, as a Conjugial Love experience. With creative self-expression as our goal, we can take regeneration into our own hands to speed-up our own evolution, while we transmute the forces that block the spiritual feeling of the Brotherhood of Mankind, and thereby, together, manifest the feeling of Heaven on Earth.
