Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1994, Jewish Views of the Afterlife is a classic study of ideas of afterlife and postmortem survival in Jewish tradition and mysticism. As both a scholar and pastoral counselor, Raphael guides the reader through 4,000 years of Jewish thought on the afterlife by investigating pertinent sacred texts produced in each era. Through a compilation of ideas found in the Bible, Apocrypha, rabbinic literature, medieval philosophy, medieval Midrash, Kabbalah, Hasidism and Yiddish literature, the reader learns how Judaism conceived of the fate of the individual after death throughout Jewish history. In addition, this book explores the implications of Jewish afterlife beliefs for a renewed understanding of traditional rituals of funeral, burial, shiva, kaddish and more. This newly released twenty-fifth anniversary edition presents new material on little-known Jewish mystical teachings on reincarnation, a chapter on “Spirits, Ghosts and Dybbuks in Yiddish Literature”, and a foreword by the renowned scholar of Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Arthur Green. Both historical and contemporary, this book provides a rich resource for scholars and laypeople and for teachers and students and makes an important Jewish contribution to the growing contemporary psychology of death and dying.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Gandelman has helped thousands of students look within to find their own answers to life’s big questions: Who am I? What am I here to do? How can I find happiness? Over the course of this journey, he began to notice that the overwhelming number of powerful life questions and conundrums his students encountered fell into seven categories, which he eventually realized were actually seven potent energies that existed within each individual soul. When any one or more of these energies is out of balance, our lives can become chaotic and unfulfilled. Now, in The Seven Energies of the Soul, Gandelman offers a detailed guide to each of these critical energies, as well as exercises and meditation practices that can help you evaluate your energetic strengths and weaknesses, and work toward spiritual and energetic balance. Spiritual masters throughout millennia have always taught that the answers to life’s most tangled questions lie within. In the pages of The Seven Energies of the Soul, that ancient path lies clearly before you. Read this book, and take your first step toward authentic, transformative awareness.

Download or read book Pilgrimage of a Soul written by Phileena Heuertz and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can only go so far for so long before you find the limits of yourself. For Phileena Heuertz that moment arrived, mercifully, around the same time as a sabbatical to mark her twelfth year of service with Word Made Flesh, a ministry to some of the poorest people in the world. With six months' respite from the daily task of serving those who have nothing, Phileena rediscovered the genius of contemplative spirituality. Activists often see contemplation as a luxury, the sort of thing that must necessarily be laid aside in the quest to see the world set aright. But in Pilgrimage of a Soul we see that contemplation is essential--not only to a life of sustained commitment to the justice and righteousness of God, but to the growth in faith and discipleship that the Holy Spirit beckons each of us to. Tracing seven movements from a kind of sleepfulness to a kind of wakefulness, Heuertz shows us that life is a journey that repeats itself as we are led by Christ deeper and deeper into our true selves and a truer knowledge of God.

Book excerpt: Soul Care explores seven principles that can lead to lasting transformation and freedom for all who struggle with a broken, damaged, and sin-stained soul. Brokenness grasps for the soul of humanity. We are broken body, soul, and spirit, and we need the healing touch of Jesus. Soul Care explores seven principles that are profound healing tools of God: securing your identity, repentance, breaking family sin patterns, forgiving others, healing wounds, overcoming fears, and deliverance. Dr. Rob Reimer challenges readers to engage in an interactive, roll-up-your-sleeves and get messy process -- a journey of self-reflection, Holy Spirit inspiration, deep wrestling, and surrender. It is a process of discovering yourself in true community and discovering God as He pierces through the layers of your heart. Life change is hard. But these principles, when packaged together and lived out, can lead to lasting transformation, freedom, and a healthy soul. Soul Care encourages you to gather a small group of comrades in arms, read and process together, open your souls to one another, access the presence and power of God together, and journey together into the freedom and fullness of Christ.

Download or read book Simplifying the Soul written by Paula Huston and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning author and Benedictine oblate Paula Huston invites readers to de-clutter their minds, hearts, relationships, and souls in a book of daily Lenten practices woven from the gospels, the Desert Fathers, and the author’s own wealth of spiritual experience. “What are you giving up for Lent this year?” It’s the expected question amongst Christian friends each spring. In Simplifying the Soul: Lenten Practices to Renew Your Spirit, Huston asks her readers a deeper, alternative sort of question: “How will you rid your life of excess this Lent?” She encourages readers to see Lent as a time to seek out silence and free themselves of “stuff” and to acknowledge the connections between what they pray about and what they do. With honesty, vulnerability, and grace, Huston challenges readers to move outward and act, showing them how everyday actions like cleaning out a junk drawer, giving away something no longer used, or spending fifteen minutes in silence can be surprisingly powerful ways of experiencing a more meaningful Lent and a simpler life. Whether cutting up a credit card, visiting someone at the hospital, or forgiving someone with whom they are angry, readers experience, under Huston’s gentle and expert care, how such practices lead to a more authentic Christian faith.

Download or read book The Kabbalah of the Soul written by Leonora Leet and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-03-25 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the transformative spiritual work by which the soul can reach ever higher dimensions of consciousness. • Relates the soul levels of the Zohar to the various paths the soul may travel toward ultimate realization. • Introduces a new meditative technique called "the Transformative Moment". Throughout the history of the Jewish esoteric tradition, humankind has been understood to play a pivotal role in the perfection of the cosmos, uniting the finite with the infinite in the perfection of divine personality. Working from an original synthesis of the major kabbalistic traditions of cosmology derived from the Bible, the Zohar, and the school of Isaac Luria, Leonora Leet has erected a new framework for understanding the mechanism of the transformative spiritual work that enables the human soul to reach increasingly higher dimensions of consciousness. This analysis extends the frontiers of Leet's prior works on the Kabbalah to provide a new illumination of human possibilities. Leet first considers the false temptations of worldly power and pleasure that lead to the fall of the soul and then the means of its redemption. She develops a powerful meditative technique called "the Transformative Moment," whose workings are exemplified by Jacob and Joseph and that allow the individual to progress through all the higher levels of the soul, even possibly to attain the miraculous powers of the legendary spiritual masters. She further correlates the hierarchy of soul levels with Ezekiel's Throne vision to show the various paths the soul may travel toward self-realization: sex, love, power, knowledge, holiness, and unification. The first four paths relate to the four-faced living creatures (Chayot) of Ezekiel's Throne vision--the bull-ox, lion, eagle, and man. The final two paths correlate to the prophet and the envisioned man on the throne he recognizes to be his divine higher self, the knowledge that defines the secret doctrine of the whole of the Jewish mystical tradition culminating in the Kabbalah.

Download or read book AKRADINBOSOM Akan Abosom of the Okra Okraa Soul and the 7 Day Akan Week written by Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan and published by Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan. This book was released on with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AKRADINBOSOM: Akan Abosom of the Okra/Okraa (Soul) and the 7-Day Akan Week From Ancient Khanit (Nubia) to Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in America Volume 2: Abosomsem - Spiritual Cosmology - Awusi ne Adwoa (Ausar and Auset) Our publication of the six volume set, AKRADINBOSOM: Akan Abosom (Deities) of the Okra/Okraa and the 7-Day week – From Ancient Khanit (Nubia) to Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in America is the first of its kind. The Akradinbosom are a particular grouping of Abosom, the Akan term for Deities – the Divine Spirit-Forces in Creation. The Akradinbosom, the major Divine Powers Who animate the solar, lunar and planetary bodies which govern the seven-day week have never been addressed in a publication regarding their identity, the nature of their functioning in Creation and their relationship to the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) individual in Akan culture. The Akradinbosom are the major Abosom (Deities) who govern all natural cycles in Creation and thus all natural cycles upon Asaase (Earth). We examine the direct relationship that these Abosom (Deities) have with Akan people based on the unique manner in which we have interfaced with them over the millennia. We elucidate how the Akradinbosom are assigned to the Okra/Okraa, the Soul, of each Akan individual pre-incarnation and are thereby directly tied to the Divine function, life-focus, purpose or ‘destiny’ the nkra/nkrabea of every Akan male and female. The super-structure of the nnawotwe, the seven-day week and the Abosom that govern it also governs every aspect of Akan life. This is true of Akan people in the regions of contemporary Ghana and Ivory Coast, West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) as well as those Akan people who were forced to migrate to the western hemisphere during the Mmusuo Kese, the Great Perversity/Enslavement era. Those of us who reside in North, Central, South america and the Caribbean who are of direct, spiri-genetic Akan Ancestry, have always been directly impacted by the Akradinbosom, the Abosom (Deities) who continue to communicate with us, possess us, heal us, empower us and guide us throughout the course of our lives. In Volume 1: Nokwaresem – Trustorical Cosmology, we address the nokwaresem, the trustory (true-story, true history) of the Akradinbosom, their cosmological place in Creation, the nature of their relationship to the Great Mother and Great Father, Nyamewaa-Nyame, The Supreme Being, and their assignment to our spirits by Nyamewaa-Nyame before we incarnate into the womb and eventually born into the world. We address bebra, reincarnation, in relation to the provenance of the Okra/Okraa, the Soul, as a Deity in its own right assigned to dwell within the head region of the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) individual. We examine the relationship of our Okra/Okraa, Soul, and the specific Kradinbosom that governs our Okra/Okraa. We address the spiritual and political ramifications of our adherence or non-adherence to the guidance of our Kradinbosom facilitated through the agency of our Okra/Okraa. We properly define Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Religion and Culture, Nanasom and Amammere, as critical to our alignment and realignment with Divine Order on a consistent basis through the agency of spiritual alignment and realignment with our Okra/Okraa, Soul and the Kradinbosom governing the Okra/Okraa. We also elucidate the Akan origin of the seven-day week, tracing our roots to ancient Khanit (Khan/Akan land) and Khahnu – ancient Nubia and Libya, our migrations north to settle Kamit (Egypt) and further migrations north into the Near East to establish the civilization of ancient Kangi or Sumer. We demonstrate for the first time that the names and functions of the Deities of the Sun, Moon and Planets in ancient Sumer and Akkad (later Babylon) are found in the Akan language and ritual practices today unchanged. We also show that these are the same Deities with the same descriptive titles and functions in ancient Khanit and Kamit (Nubia and Egypt). The whites and their offspring learned of the seven-day week from our Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestresses and Ancestors. The seven-day week was taken into the Near East from Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa). In Volumes 2-6: Abosomsem – Spiritual Cosmology, we examine the nature and function of each of the eleven Akradinbosom in various aspects of Creation including their solar, lunar, stellar and Earthly manifestations as well as their shrines within the physical and spiritual anatomy the physical and spiritual organs and organs’ systems of the Akan individual. We also address their manifestations in ancient Khanit and Kamit (Nubia and Egypt) and through a comparative analysis their manifestations in Yoruba, Fon and Ewe culture and religious practice as Orisha and Vodou. In the Hoodoo tradition in North america, the Akradinbosom are recognized and worshipped. As we have demonstrated in our publication HOODOO PEOPLE: Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North America – Akan Custodians of Hoodoo from Ancient Hoodoo/Udunu Land (Khanit/Nubia), the Hoodoo (Ndu) Religion is the Akan Ancestral Religion in North america. It is through a Hoodoo Hwehwemu, a Hoodoo Analysis, that we are empowered by our Nananom Nsamanfo and the Akradinbosom, our Spiritually Cultivated Ancestresses and Ancestors of our direct blood-circles and the Deities who govern our heads, to elucidate the origin, nature and function of the Akradinbosom for the first time. This analysis is corroborated by archaeological, genetic and anthropological, including linguistic, data. This work will be the foundation for many other publications properly delineating the nuanced role of the Akradinbosom in Creation. In this volume we examine the nature and function of the Abosom Awusi and Adwoa who are called Ausar and Auset (misnomered Osiris and Isis) in ancient Khanit and Kamit.
