Download or read book Why We Believe in God s written by J. Anderson Thomson and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, with Clare Aukofer, offers a succinct yet comprehensive study of how and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time—that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man—not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.
Download or read book A World of Many written by Norbert Ross and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A World of Many explores the world-making efforts of Tzotzil Maya children from two different localities within the municipality of Chenalhó, Chiapas. The research demonstrates children’s agency in creating their worlds, while also investigating the role played by the surrounding social and physical environment. Different experiences with schooling, parenting, goals and values, but also with climate change, water scarcity, as well as racism and settler colonialism form part of the reason children create their emerging worlds. These worlds are not make believe or anything less than the ontological products of their parents. Instead, Norbert Ross argues that by creating different worlds, the children ultimately fashion themselves into different human beings - quite literally being different in the world. A World of Many combines experimental research from the cognitive sciences with critical theory, exploring children’s agency in devising their own ontologies. Rather than treating children as somewhat incomplete humans, it understands children as tinkerers and thinkers, makers of their worlds amidst complex relations. It regards being as a constant ontological production, where life and living constitutes activism. Using experimental paradigms, the book shows that children locate themselves differently in these emerging worlds they create, becoming different human beings in the process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier’s life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist people with disabilities. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being–until Luis. Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other’s souls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conversation continues. What if a stranger knew you better than you know yourself? Exasperated by her husband’s sudden new obsession with Jesus, Mattie Cominsky views an out-of-town business trip as a welcome opportunity to reflect on their marriage—and to decide if it’s time to put an end to this painfully unrewarding relationship. Aboard the plane, Mattie is relieved to find herself seated next to a passenger who shares her scorn for religion. After she confides her husband’s unexpected turn, their conversation soon leads to a fascinating exploration of spirituality, God, and the quest for meaningful connection. Mattie’s skepticism softens under the perceptive insights of this stranger, and she finds herself confronting the unspoken longings of her soul. As his comments touch on personal issues he couldn’t possibly know about, she begins to wonder if she’s misjudged not only Nick but also the God he now claims to believe in.
Download or read book The Most Protected Secrets in Human History written by Carlos A. Llorens and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are in possession of one of humanity's most ever jealously guarded treasures! This knowledge has been passed down not through written words but verbally through the ages... Since ancient times, men have insatiably searched for answers; and during the early days of our consciousness on this planet, we had a much purer mind and body, which allowed us to discern things better, with more agility and clarity, during which we were able to gain awareness of how certain things work, especially how we interact with ourselves and our environment. The discoveries were amazing, divine, and magical to be conservative. Those discoveries changed the course of humanity forever! The knowledge was so powerful that it was never written in an effort to ensure that only a few would receive it verbally. At a certain point, these jealously-guarded secrets were controlled by secret societies whose societies are composed of the most powerful individuals on earth called the elite class and the minority who believes that everyone should have access to this knowledge; they decided to share it, and now you have in your hands something very difficult to describe its true value. With this knowledge, if you apply it, you have the power to transform your life forever! Discover your inborn/inherited Divine secret abilities within you. With this knowledge and its power, may you never be the same. (KT) Respectfully and with true and honest love for your success, Carlos A. Llorens !Estas en posesion de uno de los tesoros celosamente guardados de los humanos! Este conocimiento ha sido transmitido, no escrito, sino verbalmente a traves de los siglos... Desde la antiguedad, los hombres han buscado insaciablemente respuestas, y durante los primeros tiempos de nuestra conciencia en este planeta, teniamos una mente y un cuerpo mucho mas puros, lo que nos permitio discernir mejor las cosas, con mas agilidad y claridad, durante los cuales pudimos obtener la conciencia de como funcionan ciertas cosa, especialmente como interactuamos con nosotros mismos y nuestro entorno; los descubrimientos fueron asombrosos, divinos y magicos para ser conservadores; !!!esos descubrimientos cambiaron el curso de la humanidad para siempre!!! Esos descubrimientos permitieron a los primeros hombres iluminados ejercitar algunas de nuestras santas habilidades dotadas y lograr algunos de los mayores logros jamas conocidos por la humanidad; el conocimiento era tan poderoso, que nunca fue escrito, en el esfuerzo de asegurar que solo aquellos que demostraron poseer los requisitos previos los recibirian verbalmente a traves de un proceso de tutoria. En cierto punto, esos secretos celosamente guardados fueron controlados a traves de lo que hoy conocemos como Sociedades Secretas, cuyas Sociedades estan compuestas por los individuos mas poderosos de la tierra llamada la clase elite, esta clase se divide en dos partes, la mayoria la cual cree que el resto de la poblacion debe trabajar para ellos, ya que saben como manejar el planeta, y la minoria que cree que todos deben tener acceso a este conocimiento; gracias a su amor por la humanidad, decision y voluntad de compartir este conocimiento, ahora tienen en sus manos algo muy dificil de describir, su verdadero valor. Con este conocimiento y si lo aplicas, !tienes el poder de transformar tu vida para siempre! Descubriras los secretos de tus habilidades heredadas nacidas dentro de ti. De K. T.: "Con este conocimiento y su poder, que nunca seas el mismo". Respetuosamente, con amor verdadero y honesto por su exito: Carlos A. Llorens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Power, Freedom, and Grace, Deepak Chopra considers the mystery of our existence and its significance in our eternal quest for happiness. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where do I go when I die? Chopra draws upon the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the findings of modern science to help us understand and experience our true nature, which is a field of pure consciousness. When we understand our true nature, we begin to live from the source of lasting happiness, which is not mere happiness for this or that reason, but true inner joy. By knowing who we are, we no longer interfere with the innate intelligence of the cosmos. Instead, we allow the universe to flow through us with effortless ease, and our lives are infused with power, freedom, and grace. “This book captures the essence of all of my talks over the last 20 years. It is the distillation of almost everything I have taught up to now.” — Deepak Chopra
