Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Function of Death in Human Experience But death is to be abolished - this is an old religious faith and, it would seem, a new scientific conviction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an overview of the myriad ways that we are touched by death and dying, both as an individual and as a member of society, this book will help readers understand our relationship with death.

Christopher Moreman, who has worked in the field of death studies for almost two decades specializing in afterlife beliefs and experiences, has updated this edition.
Download or read book The Evidence of Immortality Classic Reprint written by Jerome A. Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evidence of Immortality This essay is an examination from a scientific view point into the probability of the continued existence of' human life after the death of the body. Of course, by scientific is meant the light Of reason applied to the phe nomena of life - not a demonstration by means Of the microscope or balances. Perhaps philosophical would be a better word to use in describing its method, but as all true science is philosophical, and all true philosophy scientific, the writer is not disposed to insist too strongly upon the term used. It is believed that a careful analysis of undisputed phenomena of existence, which have been perhaps overlooked, or which have not been assigned their ptoper importance, will establish the truth of the persist ence of life beyond the grave as certainly as any other fact of existence. It will assuredly place it upon a much firmer basis than that enjoyed by many Of the accepted scientific hypotheses, such as those which attempt to prove the existence and functions of the ether, atoms, matter itself, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Life in the Shadow of Death written by Andrew Klarmann and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in the Shadow of Death: Art and Purpose of Living In order to live properly it is necessary that we have the proper view of life. In these pages the author endeavors to set before the busy man a few considerations of the twofold manifestation of human life, that is, of its development and its decline. But since human life passes for one brief moment between time and eternity, as the moon in a solar eclipse passes between the earth and the sun, and emerges from the momentary obscuration of death into the splendor of a new life, it is meet to study human life in its eclipse, death, particularly because death is the key to the mystery of life, without which neither its purpose nor its operation can be fully disclosed and closely inspected. As the moon obscures for a little while the light of the heavens from the earth, so death eclipses life and its hopes for a moment, only to reveal it in the newness of a nobler life, the end and aim of earthly life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place of Death in Evolution This volume is the first fruit of a fur ther and larger purpose which the author has long had in mind, and which in some future season may possibly become ripe for its harvesting. It springs from a pro found conviction that the one theological task which waits to be accomplished is a thorough and comprehensive demonstra tion of the fact, which the disciple of old perceived, that the Life was manifested in the Christ; and hence it will prove true that His essential words meet and match the great principles of life which have been hidden in nature's heart from the beginning. It will be shown how natur ally, and as the appointed heir of all things, Christianity wins and wears the crown of life.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... each individual in the course of his education must pass through the process of refining these conceptions and a slow process it is. All our common and clear knowledge is expressible only in sensory imagery. We can indicate the meaning of terms in the last analysis only by pointing to the physical objects which they denote, and if our experiences associated with them are also common we may seize the connected meaning of things in that way. An object may become a symbol of a feeling and so language may grow to express nonsensuous mental states to those who have passed through the experience of them and their association with the sensory object. Thus to the savage, religion may be only fear of his fetish or the supposed deity in it. The word would have no other meaning for him. But if he advanced to the highest stage of civilization, it might mean a more refined mental attitude and would not be directed to a physical object at all, but to some supersensible reality which he would not fear but reverence. The term would thus denote an experience which the savage might not have, but which the civilized man would understand from its association with the whole group of ideas that have grown up in connection with all the problems of philosophy and theology. It thus becomes, not the sensuous objects that he has in mind when he speaks and thinks of the spiritual, but the states of mind which his development has associated with them, though he may still use the same old words for denominating them. The antagonism between the reflective and the unreflective mind is this. The reflective mind tries to think of things as having some sort of existence apart from the way sensation represents them. The unreflective mind accepts his sensations as correctly...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Light of Life: The Mastery of Death A few pessimists of the present proclaim that the age of darkness is by no means at an end, and some are wont to predict even a darker age to follow, but the consciousness Of the optimistic majority is awakening responsive to the Dawn that is surely breaking over the world, repudiating such pessi mistic prognostications as reactionary and retrogressive. We have but to take the mental and moral conditions of two hundred, or even a hundred, years ago and compare them with the conditions of today to become conscious of this wonderful illumination and its many revelations. And what is this New Light that is thus suffusing the earth, work ing all these wondrous changes, and transforming the world and its ways? It is the same Light that shone in the darkness of the past, but which the shadowed mind Of man was unable then to perceive, or to utilize. Materially speaking, it is corporeal sunlight the light of the sun that for all ages since the beginning of terrestrial time has been shed upon the earth.
