Download or read book Music Evolution and the Harmony of Souls written by Alan R. Harvey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is central to human cultural and intellectual experience. It is vitally important for the welfare of human society and - this book argues - should become more widely accepted in our community as a mainstream educational and therapeutic tool. This book explores the importance of music throughout human evolution, and its continued relevance to modern-day human society. Throughout, the emphasis is on the origin of music and how (and where) it is processed in our brains, exploring in detail the genetic and cultural evolution of modern, loquacious humans, how we may have evolved with unique neural and cognitive architecture, and why two complementary but distinct communication systems - language and music - remain a human universal. In addition the book explores, in some depth, the different theories that have been put forward to explain why musical communication was (and remains) advantageous to our species, with a particular emphasis on the role of music and dance in enhancing altruistic and prosocial behaviours. The author suggests that music, and the social harmonization it brings, was of vital importance in early humans as we became more and more individualized by the emergence of modern language and the modern mind, and the realization that we are mortal. Music, Evolution, and the Harmony of Souls demonstrates the evolutionary sociobiological importance of music as a driver of cooperative and interactive behaviour throughout human existence, and what this evolutionary imperative means to twenty-first century humanity and beyond, from social and medical/neurological perspectives

Download or read book The Harmony of the Soul written by Neal O. Weiner and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Harmony of the Soul creates a naturalistic grounding for ethics and a moral grounding for psychotherapy. It is an original and startling synthesis of the ideas of mental health and moral virtue based on neglected affinities between classical Greek ethics, contemporary virtue ethics, sociobiology, and the basic presuppositions of psychotherapy. A central thesis of the book is that we can assume "the worst" about what science tells us about the human animal without having to sacrifice any of the things that are of most importance to ethics: virtue and the good life, harmony of the soul, freedom, conscience, and moral knowledge.

In contrast, the Sufi goal is ultimately spiritual: Yes, we need to transform our negativity and be effective in the world; but beyond that, we need to reach a state of harmony with the Divine. Full of stories, poetry, meditations, journaling exercises, and colorful everyday examples, this book will open the heart, nourish the self, and quicken the soul.

Download or read book Passionate Harmony written by James Maltese and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoration and Veneration: Celebrate the awakening of yourself, for even as you are blessed, you know it was partly due to the adoration and the veneration of holy ideals as personified in the saints. But be somewhat quizzical in regard to these holy acts, for if they lock you into a constraint administered by others, your soul though ecstatic, may feel entrapped and not free to pursue the religiosity of your ideals in perpetuity. Accept the blessing, but beyond the clear evidence of this ideal another awaits, forever the guide to your birth in spirit. When one is born it is a praised life; it delivers multiple blessings of joy for those about you. When confirmed in baptism you are accentuated in a mission of society's relevance to spirituality, but born again you will find a continuous stream of consciousness; it does not disappoint, but ever tasks you in the works of the combined heaven. The combined heavens are an assembly of each of us. We reflect on our possibilities as we share the grandeur of Creation. One heaven is startling to the possessor who is so embedded within his, her haven. The arching of the nave within the construct of our frame seeks and then delivers consequences of the spiritual nature. As we look upon the ethereal and distant, we are struck unawares of the internal cosmology; to be thrashed about for a while is our course, for the gift does not reside at the expected vibration of our faltering life, but when exciting the soul it causes wonder amongst the cascade of tears, for love is pronounced beyond any previous definition. More than this we could not imagine, a period of time, years unfurled, and we are arranged better than our composite of human energies, to find surprisingly that intellect has been induced into the spatial mind; it did not exist in the latter years before our guidance was announced by the Holy Spirit. This heaven and its intercession in our lives is not all ease and pleasantness, but becomes essential to the binding of life, and we would not deny its presence out of an earlier vanity claimed. There are tasks to be considered; within the conciseness of one person all may be revealed. And so, we pay attention to our thoughts; they ebb and wash over the mind, and of this rhythm, we are called to the intent of our souls. Can you compare this to any other awakening? One who has received is not greedy for a greater blessing, but has all to do with the enabling of the resources now at one's command. So we are thankful for our lot and feel composed as we proceed to the fulfillment that has been assigned unto us. Each tremor of satisfaction is but a step, and each forward motion must of necessity carry us to an expanding of mission. We cannot rest in the fire that is given to our spirit, delightful as it would seem, we would be delinquent in not pressing the mind to work harder so it accommodates the specifics of the soul's intention. And would we think ourselves saved? That is of no matter now, for we have been given deeds to perform, oblations proffered to the crest of time; it is our communion, and though a subtle sanctity it is welcomed nonetheless. Religion holds many rewards and all unselfishly made, accessible to us at our convenience, and yet we should do more, for out of our own energies we shall bring delight, a refreshing of the altar of life, whereby many may be acclaimed and justified. This is not a competition between the holy orderings of ceremonies, but the joining of many souls by the casting of redemption and renewal to our friends and loved ones, be they few or many, known to us, or distant at a time and place beyond our reach. The spinning of tales is but a motion suspended before us, to enhance our configurations of thought, and of such exercises we are pronounced formidable, assured in our worth to deal with textural problems in their weightiness, and therein advancement of opportunities shall bring to us enlightenment as we walk the stony path, leading to transcendence.
