In Kierkegaard's and Heidegger's Analysis of Existence and its Relation to Proclamation (1950), Logstrup offers an original critique of these key thinkers. Arguing against their idea that 'life in the crowd' threatens individuality, he proposes an ethic beyond social rules: a requirement to care for a person whose life is placed in your hands.

A best-seller from its first publication in 1898, this autobiography of St. Thérèse and her "Little Way" to God, has since been translated into 55 languages. St. Thérèse became a Carmelite nun at 15, and died at the early age of 24. But her life was filled with such wisdom and Holiness that she was not only canonized, but declared a Doctor of the Church.In a collection of three manuscripts, St. Thérèse tells first of her life as a child, of her intimate relationship with Jesus, and of her struggles to become a Carmelite nun. The second section reveals the Saint's Little Way of Spiritual Childhood, the Way of Trust and Absolute Self-Surrender - her method of achieving great holiness in ordinary life. We are urged to love God for God's sake, not our own, and to seek ways of offering small sacrifices each day, whether it be accepting discomfort or being kind to someone we dislike. In the final manuscript St. Thérèse describes her later life - which included her own Dark Night of the Soul - until just three months before her death from tuberculosis, an event narrated with great compassion in the final chapter, written by The Prioress of the Carmel.Also included in this edition are a series of Letters, Poems and Prayers by the Saint. An inspiring and uplifting book, essential reading for any soul seeking to establish - or renew - a more intimate relation with the Godhead.

To meditate on the nature of mind is the swift, effortless path for all who seek enlightenment. This direct instruction unifies the key points of all Sutra and Tantra; it is the experience of all realised masters and the enlightened intent of all buddhas. Therefore, we need to practise it earnestly and continuously.One of the most eminent lamas in Tibet, Dzogchen Pema Kalsang Rinpoche is widely recognised as a brilliant scholar and highly realised master of the Great Perfection. In this faithful translation of his commentary on Mipham Rinpoche's Lamp to Dispel Darkness, Dzogchen trekcho meditation is explained in clear and experiential language for the benefit of true practitioners. Also included is the full Tibetan text.These profound instructions may only be read by those who have been authorised and empowered into the main Dzogchen practices by a genuine master.

Nature and science have served as a source of parables to explain profound spiritual insights throughout Jewish history. The general teaching of the Chassidic Movement, founded by the Ba'al Shem Tov, is that every Divine concept has a parallel manifestation in the physical world, and also a spiritual parallel in the psychological realm. This teaching is emphasized in Chabad Chassidut. A true parable reveals the essential union between different strata of life.The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, left us his legacy to unite "chaotic lights" with "rectified vessels." In 137: The Riddle of Creation, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh reveals how integrating the chaotic lights of the primordial Torah in the stable vessels of modern science is an integral part of this messianic mission.The language common to both realms is numbers. The key to revealing the numerical language of the Torah is hidden in its deepest mysteries, the mysteries of Kabbalah. Kabbalah provides the fitting parables to achieve this goal. Using Kabbalah and its numerical value of 137 as a "coupling constant" between Torah and science, Rabbi Ginsburgh delves into the cutting-edge theories of modern physics, such as complementarity, uncertainty, the expanding universe, entanglement and CPT symmetry to reveal their Kabbalistic significance. Exploring elements of the standard model of physics through the prism of the Torah reveals a complete spectrum of insights into both realms - and even suggests new avenues for scientific investigation.What place does the observer occupy from a Kabbalistic perspective and what is the source of uncertainty in the psyche? How does 137 determine human lifespan and couple the body with the soul to give life? How does this relate to the role of women in society, the power of communication and the power of music?The answers to these questions are revealed in the pages of this book. They serve as catalysts for the final union of Torah and science.

MAYBE you suddenly realized that you were raised as a "Christian" but you have no idea what that really means. Or maybe you went to Sunday School and have a vague mental picture of God and Jesus and a boatload of animals. Oh, and a couple of naked people in a garden with an apple and a snake. This will be a simple book, starting at the ground level, and it will progress into a complex book, giving you a deeper insight into the Christian faith. It will not be an over-your-head book about the Defenestration of Prague and the Diet of Worms (neither of which is as gross as it sounds). It will be a book that will meet you where you are and encourage you to the next level.

More and more people are ''waking up'' spiritually. And for most of them, the question becomes: now what? ''Information about life after awakening is usually not made public,'' explains Adyashanti. ''It's most often shared only between teachers and their students.'' The End of Your World is his response to a growing need for direction on the spiritual path. Consider the book you hold in your hands Adyashanti's personal welcome to ''a new world, a state of oneness.''

I have told you that, no matter how many times you have refused to enter the sanctuary, you have only to knock and the door will be opened to you. I have said to you, ask and it shall be given you, but you refuse to believe in me. You think that someone is counting your sins, your moments of indecision or recalcitrance, but it is not true. You are the only one counting. I say to you brother, stop counting, stop making excuses, stop pretending that the door is locked. I am here at the threshold. Reach out and take my hand and we will open the door and walk through together. I am the door to love without conditions. When you walk through, you too will be the door.

El Libro de Enoc (o Libro de Henoc, 1 Enoc) es un libro intertestamentario, que forma parte del canon de la Biblia de la Iglesia ortodoxa etíope pero no es reconocido como canónico por las demás iglesias cristianas, a pesar de haber sido encontrado en algunos de los códices por la Septuaginta (Códice Vaticano y Papiros Chester Beatty). Se trata de un libro apocalíptico perteneciente a la apocalíptica judía. Este libro se cree que fue muy apreciado por parte de los primeros cristianos, a partir la referencia de la epístola de Judas 1, 14-16., que cita un pasaje del Libro de Enoc (1 Enoc, 1, 9); la referencia en 2Pedro 2, 4.; y la Epístola de Bernabé (16:4), que cita como Escritura un versículo (1 Henoc 89:56) y en 4:3 se refiere a 1 Henoc 80:2. Muchos Padres de la Iglesia y cristianos destacados se refieren al libro, y lo citan en sus obras. Autores como Justino Mártir (100-165), Atenágoras (170), Taciano (110-172), Ireneo (130-208), Orígenes, Clemente de Alejandría (150-220), Tertuliano (160-230), Lactancio (260-325), Metodio de Filipo, Minucio Félix, Comodiano y Cipriano de Cartago,1¿ entre otros, consideraron el libro de inspiración divina. Un defensor de este libro fue el obispo Prisciliano, quien fue el primer cristiano condenado a muerte y ejecutado por cristianos por supuesta herejía, en 385.

The Book of Revelation was written to do just that: reveal. But most commentaries nowadays either engage in bizarre speculations about the future, or they keep an embarrassed distance from all the apocalyptic events that the apostle John says will "shortly take place."In this commentary, Douglas Wilson provides a passage-by-passage walkthrough of the entire book, showing how John's most notorious prophecies concern the Fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Explaining symbols and characters as he goes, Wilson shows from the text that not only is this book not an elaborate code, but that Revelation is not even ultimately concerned with the end of the world as we know it.Revelation is about the triumph of the Church, which always happens when the Man comes around."Though St. John the Evangelist saw many strange monsters in his vision, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators." -G.K. Chesterton

She believes that people are made of distinct colors in terms of their emotions. Distinct colors of intensity or lightness which depends on personal experiences and subsequent interpretation. Sometimes these experiences may have influenced personal interpretation of social observation or vice versa. But love, as it happens, as it ended, and as it appears again, requires conversation in private with the self, with the other self or with the reflection of the self.

"The Word study concordance is designed to be used with the Vertical interlinear, Parallel translations, and the Dictionary number lexicon as part of a set of study tools"--Introd.

The life of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, fourth caliph of early Islam and fountainhead of Shi'ite and Sufi lineages, 'is both inspirational and controversial: intrinsically inspirational and extrinsically controversial.' These words set the tone for what is an detailed and penetrating view of the figure of Imam 'Ali on various planes, the spiritual and ethical, the individual, the political and social. The author draws a unique portrait in which the powerful spiritual undercurrents of early Islamic history can be discerned at play, and where the sanctified heart of the Imam is revealed as a fulcrum of the harmony between the most diverse and even divergent tendencies. These spiritual reflections on the life and thought of Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, bring to life what is essential and inspirational in his biography. 'Ali is viewed as the paragon of statesmanship, chivalry and mysticism, a man of action and contemplation, the greatest hero of his age as well as its wisest sage. The interplay between his dramatic outward story and his profound inner story heralds the triumph of the human spirit over the difficulties, tragedies and absurdities which are inevitable in 'the life of this world.'This exceptional book may be too Shia for some Sunnis, and too Sunni for some Shia, and it may be too political for some, and too spiritual for others, and so its main value lies precisely in a higher perspective where it reveals harmony, in a keen vision of the forces of tawhid, the drive to union, alive at the centre of historical events as in human hearts. It will have a cathartic effect upon the many, Sunnis and Shia alike, who wish to see 'Ali as a fountainhead of unity in Islam, not as a source of division. It makes accessible to both Muslims and non-Muslims the treasures of loving mercy flowing from 'Ali, a global paragon of initiatic wisdom.

The Life of Prophet Isa AS (Jesus) and Maryam Bint Imran (Virgin Mary) English Edition Standar Version Based From The Noble Quran And Al-Hadith.In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah SWT (God) The Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son. A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah SWT (God) affirmed in many verses of The Noble Qur'an that Prophet Isa AS (Jesus) is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Prophet Adam AS without a father or a mother."The similitude of Jesus before Allah SWT (God) is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be." And he was." (The Noble Quran 3:59)
