This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word dharma, originally from the Sanskrit, refers to the inherent, unchanging nature of something – sugar’s dharma is to be sweet, water’s dharma is to be wet, and fire’s dharma is to emit heat and light. Dharma also refers to our natural duty. We humans have ordinary dharma and an ultimate dharma that relates to who we are at soul level. That dharma requires that we ask existential questions and then seek ultimate answers – questions such as Who am I? Why am I here? and What is my ultimate purpose? Dharma, the Way of Transcendence is a compilation of lectures on human dharma given by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1972 as he toured India. Here he teaches that the dharma of all humans and every other living embodied soul – is service. No one can exist for a moment without serving someone or something else, even if it’s only the mind and senses. So the question is, whom or what can we serve if we want to be truest to ourselves?

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Sapiens, a winner of the Royal Society Prize for Science Books shows how four tools enabled has us humans to control the destiny of our species "A wondrous, visionary work." --Tim Flannery, scientist and author of the bestselling The Weather Makers What enabled us to go from simple stone tools to smartphones? How did bands of hunter-gatherers evolve into multinational empires? Readers of Sapiens will say a cognitive revolution -- a dramatic evolutionary change that altered our brains, turning primitive humans into modern ones -- caused a cultural explosion. In Transcendence, Gaia Vince argues instead that modern humans are the product of a nuanced coevolution of our genes, environment, and culture that goes back into deep time. She explains how, through four key elements -- fire, language, beauty, and time -- our species diverged from the evolutionary path of all other animals, unleashing a compounding process that launched us into the Space Age and beyond. Provocative and poetic, Transcendence shows how a primate took dominion over nature and turned itself into something marvelous.

Download or read book Transcendence and Self transcendence written by Merold Westphal and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of the transcendence of God has traditionally been thought in terms of the difference between pantheism, which affirms that God is wholly "within" the world, and theism, which affirms that God is both "within" and "outside" the world, both immanent and transcendent. Against Heidegger's critique of onto-theology and the general postmodern concern for respecting and preserving the difference of the other, Merold Westphal seeks to rethink divine transcendence in relation to modes of human self-transcendence. Touching upon Spinoza, Hegel, Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius, Aquinas, Barth, Kierkegaard, Levinas, Derrida, and Marion, Westphal's work centers around a critique of onto-theology, the importance of alterity, the decentered self, and the autonomous transcendental ego. Westphal's phenomenology of faith sets this book into the main currents of Continental philosophy of religion today.

Download or read book The Path to No Self written by Bernadette Roberts and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1991-10-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how, once we have adjusted to the unitive state, the spiritual journey moves on to yet another more final ending. In our major religious traditions, the outstanding milestone in the spiritual journey is the permanent, irreversible transcendence of the self center or ego. The fact that a great deal has been written about the journey to this point means that many people have come this far. But what, we might ask, comes next? Looking ahead we see no path; even in the literature there seems to be nothing beyond an abiding awareness of oneness with God. Had this path been mapped in the literature, then at least we would have known that one existed; but where no such account exists, we assume there is no path and that union of self and God is the final goal to be achieved. The main purpose of The Path to No-Self is to correct this assumption. It verifies that a path beyond union does indeed exist, that the eventual falling away of the unitive state happens as the culmination of a long experiential journey beyond the state. The author shows that a path exists between the transcendence of the ego (self-center), which begins the unitive state, and the later falling away of all self (the true self), which ends the unitive state. As a first hand account, The Path to No-Self will be of interest to those with similar experiences, or those searching for a better understanding of their own spiritual journey. Since the journey is concerned with the effects of grace on human consciousness, the book will be of interest to those psychologists concerned with the transformational process.

Download or read book Trascendence written by Frederick Guttmann and published by Frederick Guttmann. This book was released on with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people can imagine a monkey someday becoming a man-in-nature, and imagine the man who may become -in nature- an angel (and even more than an angel). Transcendence means going beyond any limits or restrictions exceed a certain level. A theme of the most musing is the concept of man as a being able to overcome their own barriers and become apparent more than matter, something more than death, more than chemistry. Is that actually possible? All the walls that appear at the beginning of these approaches run into the paradigm of the death of the body: the biological vehicle. A lack of strong evidence, or fully convincing, what happens then to this point when it comes to our mind, our consciousness, our soul or our spirit, the life of most human become to a frustrated career limited by enjoy a moment of pleasure that can give the senses, even if an analytical mind would know judge that there is an invisible referee of causes and effects that go beyond the visual phenomena, and that our subconscious warns us cautious about the possibility of a trial in the Hereafter. What if we discover that everything we think we know about the universe is nothing but an illusion, a holographic projection quantum in various dimensions, created by a Mind of which we are an intrinsic part -incomprehensibly with the naked eye-? Death, state that we perceive as traumatic and totally end, would be part of this illusory dream, a misconception of our own mind. While this would be riddles within riddles that with effort and will be resolved so that man knows his true identity and pre-existence. What if we knew that we are not this body we look in the mirror, but far from these senses of physical there is hiding an immortal body that is an individualized part of one great consciousness experiencing a psychic Matrix with phenomena that seem real? So we could understand differently the cosmos, to assume that we are imprisoned in a lower avatar subject to laws of a multiverse full of mazes. We were part of a large number of souls who come from another universe, and experiencing an unreality artificial creations based on ego of the Collective Mind of which we are part. Within these almost limitless experiences, we are subject to various invisible laws that neither animals nor men, nor angels, nor gods can avoid, and which require a balance between Light and Chaos in all universes, galaxies, dimensions, star systems, densities of vibration, planets and planes of reality. Life and death, how it feels in them, being such a seemingly real dream, playing part of a predetermined script where cause and effect and Destiny, on these, throw the soul to different scenarios whose antagonism is precisely our criterion of "Life" and "Death", each as area and / or circumstance sphere of competence and the time lapse is responsible within Time and Space. Maya is just a cosmos behind a veil to be pierced. We must not fall into the deception of assuming that we are only a chemical result of random and haphazard processes have no role or existential purpose except survival no longer exist. Big mistake, fatal fallacies of ego. Mind as creator of all ... Light as principle of the vibration of the cosmic energy of the Great Logos who becomes aware of itself ... duality as reasoning of separation ... a vehicle of vital force within the range of power light ... multiple life experiences ... a death that is not death, death that is supposedly death ... transcendence, lighting awakening consciousness sleep created by ourselves ... and unification with the One that we've never left. Welcome to the Resurrection way before to die.

Download or read book Transpersonal Psychology in Psychoanalytic Perspective written by Michael Washburn and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Michael Washburn provides a psychoanalytic foundation for transpersonal psychology. Using psychoanalytic theory, Washburn explains how ego development both prepares for and creates obstacles to ego transcendence. Spiritual development, he proposes, can be properly understood only in terms of the ego development that precedes it. For example, many difficulties encountered in spiritual development can be traced to repressive underpinnings of ego development, and significant gender differences in spiritual development can be traced to corresponding gender differences that emerge during ego development. Washburn draws on a wide range of psychoanalytic perspectives in discussing ego development and uses both Eastern and Western sources in discussing spiritual development. In rethinking transpersonal psychology in psychoanalytic terms, he explains how essential elements of Jungian thought can be grounded in psychoanalytic theory.

Download or read book Transnational Transcendence written by Thomas J. Csordas and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative collection examines the transnational movements, effects, and transformations of religion in the contemporary world, offering a fresh perspective on the interrelation between globalization and religion. Transnational Transcendence challenges some widely accepted ideas about this relationship—in particular, that globalization can be understood solely as an economic phenomenon and that its religious manifestations are secondary. The book points out that religion's role remains understudied and undertheorized as an element in debates about globalization, and it raises questions about how and why certain forms of religious practice and intersubjectivity succeed as they cross national and cultural boundaries. Framed by Thomas J. Csordas's introduction, this timely volume both urges further development of a theory of religion and globalization and constitutes an important step toward that theory.

Download or read book The Infinite Spark The secret to access the divinity within you actualize your greatest potential and live a life filled with love meaning and purpose written by Warren Munitz and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if I said I had a secret so profound that it would completely change the way you saw reality? That the mere act of knowing this secret fundamentally alters your reality. In fact, it is so secret that it is impossible to hear it, even if I had to speak it to you aloud. The nature of this secret is such that it is so powerful you actually have to prepare yourself in order to know it. This is no ordinary secret, it so fundamental that it's hidden in a mystery itself to make sure it remains a secret and will continue to remain a secret to all those who are uninitiated. Merely reading about this secret would not be enough to grasp its power and it would remain hidden from the reader. You have to realize it for yourself, not only hear, but know it. In fact, to the unprepared it would seem so ridiculous that the reader would dismiss it as childish.

Download or read book Transcend written by Scott Barry Kaufman and published by TarcherPerigee. This book was released on 2020 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold reimagining of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs--and new insights for living your most authentic, fulfilled, and connected life. When positive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, exploration, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived. Maslow's model provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment--not by striving for money, success, or "happiness," but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. Transcend reveals a level of human potential that's even higher, which Maslow termed "transcendence." Beyond individual fulfillment, this way of being--which taps into the whole person-- connects us not only to our best self, but also to one another. With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with thought-provoking examples and personality tests, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection with our highest potential-- and beyond.

Download or read book Transcendence written by Marie Lukic and published by Marie Lukic. This book was released on with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conceit that the technological ether is on a collision course with the angelical ether is fascinating and perhaps an indulgence, but it is also plausible for where else does the universal unconscious reside, but the space where images are generated? I am pointing out in my logical and reasonable way why it is still important to include transcendence as a path to problem solving and creativity that may be embraced by many. The scope of Silver Grail Transcendence is experiential, fleeting imaginary interaction leading to artistic creation. The shadow belongs to the transcendent. Archetypes are also strongly representative, so we have discussion about a variety of elements of the transcendent and sacral culture. We speak of the transcendent realm , a place of goodness and light ethereal angelical forms in the ether. There are no doubt other spaces for darkness, but is our ether under threat somehow? Magical realism features in the text.
