This very important work offers penetrating dialogues between the
great spiritual leader and the renowned physicist that shed light
on the fundamental nature of existence. Krishnamurti and David Bohm
probe such questions as 'why has humanity made thought so important
in every aspect of life? How does one cleanse the mind of the
'accumulation of time' and break the 'pattern of ego -centered
activity'?The Ending of Time concludes by referring to the wrong
turn humanity has taken, but does not see this as something from
which there is no escape. There is an insistence that mankind can
change fundamentally; but this requires going from one's narrow and
particular interests toward the general, and ultimately moving
still deeper into that purity of compassion, love and intelligence
that originates beyond thought, time, or even emptiness.
The story of Jesus is well-known worldwide. But have you ever
wondered if it is the true and complete story of the Savior? Could
there be more to the Son of God?Author Audrey Carr addresses those
questions in The Greatest Story Never Told: An Advanced
Understanding of Christianity. She not only presents the real story
of Jesus, in which he did not die on the cross, but also includes
his unitary gospel of "oneness with God" that traditional
Christianity has missed. Quoting from highly documented, scholarly
works, this story of Jesus incorporates Judaism, Christianity,
Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. With details and maps of his many
years in India, Carr provides a photograph of his real tomb in
Kashmir. Carr also offers information about meditation techniques
he practiced, for Jesus was not a Christian but a Hindu-Buddha "The
Kingdom of Heaven" was his term for Enlightened
Consciousness.Unlike other scholarly books, The Greatest Story
Never Told is intended for the everyday person. Readers will come
away with a new, meaningful, life-changing understanding of Jesus
and his teachings. Carr seeks to destroy what is false and
resuscitate the real truth, beyond all myths, and she reveals the
connections between major religions. Spiritually uplifting and
challenging, The Greatest Story Never Told is for anyone who is
ready for an advanced understanding of Jesus and all the other
God-men of the ages who have realized their divine identity.
Reason, the Only Oracle of Man is Colonel Ethan Allen's polemical
treatise wherein he argues for the power of reason, and reason's
nature as a God-given attribute of man. Received to a negative
reception during its original publication in 1785, Reason, the Only
Oracle of Man divided opinion on the grounds of its rejection of
traditional, Christian religious beliefs. At the time, the
fledgling nation of the United States was deeply devoted to the
traditional Christian establishment, with many suspicious of the
recent progress of science in many fields. Ethan Allen rejected
many traditional beliefs of the Christian church. He considered
much of the Bible to be mythical superstition, and held great
contempt for organised religion which he viewed as corrupt and
sinful, with the priesthood in particular targeted for its
inadequacies. While not an atheist, Allen believed strongly in the
power and capacity of reason, and considered its use to be
virtuous.
What is religion? Where does it come from? Which religion best fits
our needs? Mankind has always been curious to discover what's
beyond the visible. From the moment that confusion surrounded the
existence and the true identity of God, new sciences developed, and
many philosophers fell into question. Many more questions have
followed ever since.In Beyond the Visible: Uniting Science and
Religion, author Issa Gammoh ponders some of these age-old
questions, considering whether there is a universally true answer.
In the twenty-first century, with humanity's advanced knowledge and
ways of thinking, science is getting closer to resolving many of
the questions that have been confounding humanity for centuries.
The discovery of the Higgs field, the derivation of the famous
equation E=mc2, a better psychological understanding of ourselves,
and our developing knowledge about neurology--all of these and much
more provide us with guidance. One way of thinking can link all of
these concepts together to reach scientific answers about many
unknowns that humanity has pursued for many generations.Beyond the
Visible travels a path of discovery to find the link between many
unknown phenomena and theories. This journey seeks to erase your
confusion with what will be the scientific evidences of invisible
randomness. Expand your consciousness and understanding about life
and the world in which you are living.
Gandhi and Philosophy presents a breakthrough in philosophy by
foregrounding modern and scientific elements in Gandhi's thought,
animating the dazzling materialist concepts in his writings and
opening philosophy to the new frontier of nihilism. This
scintillating work breaks with the history of Gandhi scholarship,
removing him from the postcolonial and Hindu-nationalist axis and
disclosing him to be the enemy that the philosopher dreads and
needs. Naming the congealing systematicity of Gandhi's thoughts
with the Kantian term hypophysics, Mohan and Dwivedi develop his
ideas through a process of reason that awakens the possibilities of
concepts beyond the territorial determination of philosophical
traditions. The creation of the new method of criticalisation - the
augmentation of critique - brings Gandhi's system to its exterior
and release. It shows the points of intersection and infiltration
between Gandhian concepts and such issues as will, truth, violence,
law, anarchy, value, politics and metaphysics and compels us to
imagine Gandhi's thought anew.
With language we name and define all things, and by studying our
use of language, rhetoricians can provide an account of these
things and thus of our lived experience. The concept of the sacred,
however, raises the prospect of the existence of phenomena that
transcend the human and physical and cannot be expressed fully by
language. The sacred thus reveals limitations of rhetoric.
Featuring essays by some of the foremost scholars of rhetoric
working today, this wide-ranging collection of theoretical and
methodological studies takes seriously the possibility of the
sacred and the challenge it poses to rhetorical inquiry. The
contributors engage with religious rhetorics—Jewish, Jesuit,
Buddhist, pagan—as well as rationalist, scientific, and
postmodern rhetorics, studying, for example, divination in the
Platonic tradition, Thomas Hobbes’s and Walter Benjamin’s
accounts of sacred texts, the uncanny algorithms of Big Data, and
Hélène Cixous’s sacred passages and passwords. From these
studies, new definitions of the sacred emerge—along with new
rhetorical practices for engaging with the sacred. This book
provides insight into the relation of rhetoric and the sacred,
showing the capacity of rhetoric to study the ineffable but also
shedding light on the boundaries between them. In addition to the
editors, the contributors to this volume include Michelle Ballif,
Jean Bessette, Trey Conner, Richard Doyle, David Frank, Daniel M.
Gross, Kevin Hamilton, Cynthia Haynes, Steven Mailloux, James R.
Martel, Jodie Nicotra, Ned O’Gorman, and Brooke Rollins.
