This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fed up with Violence, Hatred, and Bigotry? In a world where religious differences often trigger hatred and violence, here is a book that celebrates the Beauty, Decency, Wisdom and Unity of all our traditions. The real purpose of religion is not to supply a questionable historical narrative, or to teach moral rules that no one can follow, or to command its followers to believe a lot of fantastic claims that defy all scientific logic. The REAL purpose of religion is to present a great Wisdom Teaching -- through Allegory, Symbol and Metaphor -- that teaches our souls the inner psychological and spiritual steps that must be taken to achieve spiritual awakening and communion with Divinity. The "Return to the Promised Land", for example, is a symbolic elucidation of the soul's return from inner material slavery (called "Egypt") to spiritual freedom and enlightenment (called "Canaan"). Along the path there are many steps, many adventures, many trials, and many joys. The different ways that the story is shared by different religions and different cultures is a testament to the magnificent human imagination! But the underlying commonality of meaning and purpose that unites the stories, the cultures, and us, is even more striking! What will SYMBOLS, MEANING, AND THE SACRED QUEST do for YOU? * It will reveal the hidden method of SPIRITUAL AWAKENING that lies buried in the ancient stories; * It will open your Heart to deeper levels of TRUST, UNDERSTANDING and COMPASSION; * It will give you hours of ENTERTAINMENT and PLEASURE as you discover and rediscover the spellbinding tales and legends from around the world - and read them with fresh eyes and ears!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symbols of the Sacred gathers four classic essays by Louis Dupr on the role of symbols in our understanding of the sacred and on their fundamental importance to religious consciousness. A leading philosopher of religion, Dupr here discusses the nature of religious symbols, the importance of language for capturing symbolic meaning, the ancient link between art and expressions of the sacred, and the vital relationship between religious symbol and myth. The volume concludes with a powerful reflection on the innate capacity of human minds to grasp the transcendent. Elegantly expressed, conversant with a wide range of thinkers, and marked by a lifetime of reflection on the subject, Symbols of the Sacred offers profound insights into the religious dimension of human life.

Download or read book The Sacred Sphere written by Paul D. Burley and published by Bookhouse Fulfillment. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the circle used to symbolize sacred concepts? Why was the circle used to reach across time and space to communicate a universal and eternal understanding of human relationships with each other, the cosmos, and the creator? How did ancient and indigenous cultures around the world come to apply identical geometrical symbols to these relationships? The Sacred Sphere explores world mythologies, cultural and religious philosophies, and ethnographic records from around the world, documenting the history of sacred symbols throughout the past two million years, and analyzing sacred geometries expressed in many traditions including the architecture of ancient and indigenous cultures. Virtually every major religion today, as well traditions first developed thousands of years ago, use the same circular geometry to symbolize sacred relationships. Most importantly, every one of those circular symbols represents a facet of a unique spherical geometry-a specific combination of nine circles forming the three-dimensional archetype from which those symbols derive. This is the Sacred Sphere. Book jacket.

Sticking out the tongue is still a polite sign of greeting in northern India and Tibet (see Body Parts). Cosmic Egg In ancient times the primeval universe-or the Great Mother-took the form of an egg. It carried all numbers and letters within an ellipse, to show that everything is contained within one form at the beginning (see Round and Oval Motifs).

Download or read book Sacred Symbols in Art Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth E. Goldsmith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sacred Symbols in Art In preparing the first edition the author was strongly influenced by the belief gui trop embrasse, mal etreint. She had in mind primarily the traveller, who wants his information in a nutshell, is bored by an explanation of something that explains itself, and bewildered and confused by long and learned dissertations for which he has not the time. Thus with a subject so overwhelmingly broad, and a book that to be useful must necessarily be small, it seemed best to keep rigorously to that which, in the writer's opinion, would add the most essentially to the intelligent enjoyment and appreciation of the more famous works of Christian art - excluding the too obvious as well as the too remote. The book has been so cordially received by students and those other than the traveller, that in this second edition a little additional matter of more general interest has been added in an appendix, whereby it is hoped that its value and usefulness will be increased. Certain suggestions courteously and helpfully extended by some of the reviewers have been included in this, and to them for their interest, the author wishes to express her wannest appreciation and thanks.
