Download or read book A Communion of Subjects written by Paul Waldau and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Communion of Subjects is the first comparative and interdisciplinary study of the conceptualization of animals in world religions. Scholars from a wide range of disciplines consider how major religious traditions have incorporated animals into their belief systems, myths, rituals, and art. Their findings offer profound insights into humans' relationships with animals and a deeper understanding of the social and ecological web in which we all live." "Contributors examine Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Daoism, Confucianism, African religions, traditions from ancient Egypt and early China, and Native American, indigenous Tibetan, and Australian Aboriginal traditions, among others. They explore issues such as animal consciousness, suffering, sacrifice, and stewardship in innovative methodological ways. They also address contemporary challenges relating to law, biotechnology, social justice, and the environment. By grappling with the nature and ideological features of various religious views, the contributors cast religious teachings and practices in a new light. They reveal how we either intentionally or inadvertently marginalize "others," whether they are human or otherwise, reflecting on the ways in which we assign value to living beings."

Download or read book The Chosen Ones written by Margarita Arnal Moscardó and published by Armosma. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book ‘The Chosen Ones’ represents a staunch and unwavering commitment to face life, overcome difficulties, and to know how to enjoy it at all times along the path of the evolution of consciousness. In this sense, the author Margarita Arnal Moscardó reveals to us, through her stories, a path to live life.Reading this book is giving yourself the opportunity to delve into the ancestral feminine force. The author’s great understanding of feelings and her connection with a wisdom that connects with our soul, offers answers on the initiation of the path to overcoming difficulties, while acknowledging the happy moments that life offers.The Chosen Ones an exciting novel that captivates the reader from the first moment, is based on the spiritual adventures of three women throughout their lives. The Chosen Ones is the telling of three stories, perhaps not by chance, as the number three is considered the "perfect number" according to spiritual traditions. In the three stories, we find a wide spectrum of situations that bathe the individual in joy, love, and happiness or at the same time, flood with deep sadness, lost love, and suffering.Perhaps a more subliminal message in the book, but latent in each of the three stories, is the sublime claim of the inalienable right for women to enjoy the path of life, whatever future or destiny holds for each of them, for ALL the women (given that there are three stories). The ties, obstacles, and problems that women face can in no way prevent them from achieving their happiness. Pain and suffering do not justify the martyrdom of waiting for an earthly existence without both.The depth of the book is combined with sweetness, as well as the clarity and courage with which pain is described, the inevitable goodbye to loved ones and the "maybe we will meet again sometime, somewhere". They are intermingled with a touch between realism and idealism and a sense of humor, while offering an apprenticeship in the initiation rituals offered by some of the cultures of the earth.From all this it can be deduced that the author Margarita Arnal Moscardó shows authentic knowledge of the different visions of approach to the spiritual, from the different cultural-spiritual experiences that coexist on earth.
