Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra and David Spangler. But many such examples of alternative spiritualities are explicitly not New Age -- and few practitioners now describe themselves as New Age. Scholars cannot agree on a definition of New Age, or even whether it exists at all. Daren Kemp surveys the whole range of descriptions of New Age, from a wide variety of angles. New Agers themselves are consulted, as well as their critics in the Churches, the media and other interest groups including rationalists, feminists and Native Americans. Key Features: Illustrated throughout with concrete examples from contemporary spirituality, extensive fieldwork research with New Age groups and communities, and statistical surveys New Age is examined from a variety of perspectives with chapters on New Age history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology and psychology Approaches are applied in practical examples such as on New Religious Movements, postmodernism and mental health Includes an extended survey of academic New Age studies, both published and unpublished, with an emphasis on previously inaccessible doctoral research In a look at the future of New Age studies, it is asked whether the term New Age remains useful, or whether we should heed calls for substitute terms to describe contemporary alternative spiritualities.

Download or read book Astrology and Popular Religion in the Modern West written by Nicholas Campion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores an area of contemporary religion, spirituality and popular culture which has not so far been investigated in depth, the phenomenon of astrology in the modern west. Locating modern astrology historically and sociologically in its religious, New Age and millenarian contexts, Nicholas Campion considers astrology's relation to modernity and draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with leading modern astrologers to present an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of New Age ideology. This book challenges the notion that astrology is either 'marginal' or a feature of postmodernism. Concluding that astrology is more popular than the usual figures suggest, Campion argues that modern astrology is largely shaped by New Age thought, influenced by the European Millenarian tradition, that it can be seen as an heir to classical Gnosticism and is part of the vernacular religion of the modern west.

Download or read book Futureproof written by Kevin Roose and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestselling author and tech columnist's counter-intuitive guide to staying relevant - and employable - in the machine age by becoming irreplaceably human. It's not a future scenario any more. We've been taught that to compete with automation and AI, we'll have to become more like the machines themselves, building up technical skills like coding. But, there's simply no way to keep up. What if all the advice is wrong? And what do we need to do instead to become futureproof? We tend to think of automation as a blue-collar phenomenon that will affect truck drivers, factory workers, and other people with repetitive manual jobs. But it's much, much broader than that. Lawyers are being automated out of existence. Last year, JPMorgan Chase built a piece of software called COIN, which uses machine learning to review complicated contracts and documents. It used to take the firm's lawyers more than 300,000 hours every year to review all of those documents. Now, it takes a few seconds, and requires just one human to run the program. Doctors are being automated out of existence, too. Last summer, a Chinese tech company built a deep learning algorithm that diagnosed brain cancer and other diseases faster and more accurately than a team of 15 top Chinese doctors. Kevin Roose has spent the past few years studying the question of how people, communities, and organisations adapt to periods of change, from the Industrial Revolution to the present. And the insight that is sweeping through Silicon Valley as we speak -- that in an age dominated by machines, it's human skills that really matter - is one of the more profound and counter-intuitive ideas he's discovered. It's the antidote to the doom-and-gloom worries many people feel when they think about AI and automation. And it's something everyone needs to hear. In nine accessible, prescriptive chapters, Roose distills what he has learned about how we will survive the future, that the way to become futureproof is to become incredibly, irreplaceably human.
Download or read book Reincarnation in a Nutshell written by Maria McMahon and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would it not be wonderful if we did not only live one life? Would it not be great to know that death was an illusion and that we lived on after our physical body had stopped functioning? If we could know that death was not the end of life, would that not make us much less worried or afraid, make us much more confident and happier? If we could simply with one stroke eliminate all fear of death, would that not give our lives a whole new meaning and perspective? This is what this book offers the reader.Reincarnation in a Nutshell explains why reincarnation is much more than a belief. With mathematical precision the authors explain why reincarnation simply has to be factual and they present the reasoning, the logic and the evidence for this claim. They also explain how reincarnation takes place and what the master plan of life is. This book is your exit key from the one-life theory and with this new insight you will never doubt your own immortality. Your outlook on life will forever change when you realize that death is an illusion and that your consciousness cannot be extinguished. The insight presented in this book originates from the spiritual science of Martinus, the Danish visionary and mystic. When he was 30, Martinus experienced an expansion of his consciousness which gave him cosmic consciousness. His work is the most profound spiritual revelation ever to have been disclosed to humankind.
