Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of the Sacred Book studies the artistic incorporation of religious concepts such as prophecy, eternity, and the afterlife in the contemporary Latin American novel. It departs from sociopolitical readings by noting the continued relevance of religion in Latin American life and culture, despite modernity’s powerful secularizing influence. Analyzing Jorge Luis Borges’s secularized “narrative theology” in his essays and short stories, the book follows the development of the Latin American novel from the early twentieth century until today by examining the attempts of major novelists, from María Luisa Bombal, Alejo Carpentier, and Juan Rulfo, to Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and José Lezama Lima, to “sacralize” the novel by incorporating traits present in the sacred texts of many religions. It concludes with a view of the “desacralization” of the novel by more recent authors, from Elena Poniatowska and Fernando Vallejo to Roberto Bolaño.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This information gifts people the power to stand in their truth. Our time in history demands that every single person who can stand for truth come forward.” She’s Arrived! A contemporary voice of the Deep Feminine has finally come to join today’s conversation on consciousness and enlightenment. In The Sacred Book of U, Ruth Gould-Goodman—mother and wife, dancer, breath-movement master, and oriental and energy medicine practitioner—elucidates a fresh, philosophically sophisticated, and accessible perspective on feminine spiritual enlightenment. For the modern student (or new devotee) of consciousness and the power of mind, The Sacred Book of U offers a nuanced and compassionate understanding of positive vs. negative thinking. Obviating the typical dualistic posture towards negativity or pain of many consciousness paths, The Sacred Book of U radically proposes that pain is the Universe knocking on our door, providing the only human way into expanded consciousness and true spiritual growth. The Voice of the Mother, moreover, asserts that spiritual growth can only be initiated through the body—the universal yet uniquely individual portal to a holistic divinity in an otherwise divided and fragmented world. Birthed from a lifetime’s marriage of body-breath movement practice and a deep, clear mind, Ruth’s work provides a tangible, grounded, and whole-systems perspective on authentic transformation. Complete with personal stories containing universal messages, mind-body exercises for practical application, and philosophical discussion of some of today’s most pressing global concerns, The Sacred Book of U is a treasure for spiritual readers and students looking for an accessible path of enlightened living and a truly holistic and grounded spiritual practice. The world has been withheld from the feminine’s ‘secret’ for too long! Those who have been ready for an alternative to the long-dominant masculine voices of spirituality will experience Ruth’s teachings with relief and eager enthusiasm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famed historian of religion Mircea Eliade observes that even moderns who proclaim themselves residents of a completely profane world are still unconsciously nourished by the memory of the sacred. Eliade traces manifestations of the sacred from primitive to modern times in terms of space, time, nature, and the cosmos. In doing so he shows how the total human experience of the religious man compares with that of the nonreligious. This book serves as an excellent introduction to the history of religion, but its perspective also emcompasses philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and psychology. It will appeal to anyone seeking to discover the potential dimensions of human existence. -- P. [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: Bestselling author Gary Thomas transforms the way you look at romantic relationships. His unique perspective on dating will prepare you for a satisfying, spiritually enriching marriage. In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on. You will be encouraged to think beyond finding your “soul mate” and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”—someone who will walk with you on your spiritual journey. Thomas asks, What if we focused on why we should get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around shared spiritual mission—and making marriage with eternity at its heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In considering medieval illustrated Buddhist manuscripts as sacred objects of cultic innovation, Receptacle of the Sacred explores how and why the South Asian Buddhist book-cult has survived for almost two millennia to the present. A book “manuscript” should be understood as a form of sacred space: a temple in microcosm, not only imbued with divine presence but also layered with the memories of many generations of users. Jinah Kim argues that illustrating a manuscript with Buddhist imagery not only empowered it as a three-dimensional sacred object, but also made it a suitable tool for the spiritual transformation of medieval Indian practitioners. Through a detailed historical analysis of Sanskrit colophons on patronage, production, and use of illustrated manuscripts, she suggests that while Buddhism’s disappearance in eastern India was a slow and gradual process, the Buddhist book-cult played an important role in sustaining its identity. In addition, by examining the physical traces left by later Nepalese users and the contemporary ritual use of the book in Nepal, Kim shows how human agency was critical in perpetuating and intensifying the potency of a manuscript as a sacred object throughout time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On any Sunday afternoon a traveler through the Deep South might chance upon the rich, full sound of Sacred Harp singing. Aided with nothing but their own voices and the traditional shape-note songbook, Sacred Harp singers produce a sound that is unmistakable--clear and full-voiced. Passed down from early settlers in the backwoods of the Southern Uplands, this religious folk tradition hearkens back to a simpler age when Sundays were a time for the Lord and the “singings.” Illustrated with forty-one songs from the original songbook, The Sacred Harp is a comprehensive account of a unique form of folk music. Buell Cobb’s study encompasses the history of the songbook itself, an analysis of the music, and an intimate portrait of the singers who have kept alive a truly American tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Knowledge is the first well-documented, sophisticated account of the effect of psychedelics on biological processes, human consciousness, and revelatory religious experiences. Based on nearly three decades of legal research with volunteers, William A. Richards argues that, if used responsibly and legally, psychedelics have the potential to assuage suffering and constructively affect the quality of human life. Richards's analysis contributes to social and political debates over the responsible integration of psychedelic substances into modern society. His book serves as an invaluable resource for readers who, whether spontaneously or with the facilitation of psychedelics, have encountered meaningful, inspiring, or even disturbing states of consciousness and seek clarity about their experiences. Testing the limits of language and conceptual frameworks, Richards makes the most of experiential phenomena that stretch our understanding of reality, advancing new frontiers in the study of belief, spiritual awakening, psychiatric treatment, and social well-being. His findings enrich humanities and scientific scholarship, expanding work in philosophy, anthropology, theology, and religious studies and bringing depth to research in mental health, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology.

Book excerpt: Welcome to Darwin's world, where the hawk kills the dove and the lion eats the gazelle, where the strong destroy the weak, and the keen-witted defeat the dull-witted. Most people think of illegal immigration as a political, moral, or economic problem. It is all of these, of course, but more fundamentally it is a mechanism of survival-survival of the fittest, those whose numbers increase and eventually dominate an environment. Immigration, legal or illegal, is a problem only for those who are displaced by the growing numbers of intruding groups. Naturalistically, it is what species do-expand, dominate, and conquer in order to survive, It is simply the way of life. Immigrants flee overpopulated environments having insufficient economic, natural, or residential resources and invade environments having surpluses of these resources. When the invading groups encounter the inhabitants of an invaded environment, conflict occurs because the invasion means displacement and competition. When Europe's populations were trapped in poverty and hopelessness, Europeans migrated to other regions of the world. Some migrated to North America, where they destroyed or displaced the indigenous peoples. Today, populations are again increasing beyond the carrying capacity of their environments and economies. In order to survive and successfully reproduce, members of excessive populations migrate to environments possessing greater abundance. Migrant populations are hardy, desperate, ingenious, hard working, and aggressive. Resident populations are often complacent and even welcoming, thus caught unawares. When the resident population believes that its national, cultural, and economic environments are threatened, the relationship between the two groups becomes conflicting and adversarial. Usually the outcome is either one side wins, assimilation occurs, or both sides remain in a continuing state of conflict.

Book excerpt: We're told that if we care about our health—or our planet—eliminating red meat from our diets is crucial. That beef is bad for us and cattle farming is horrible for the environment. But science says otherwise. Beef is framed as the most environmentally destructive and least healthy of meats. We're often told that the only solution is to reduce or quit red meat entirely. But despite what anti-meat groups, vegan celebrities, and some health experts say, plant-based agriculture is far from a perfect solution. In Sacred Cow, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and former research biochemist and New York Times bestselling author Robb Wolf explore the quandaries we face in raising and eating animals—focusing on the largest (and most maligned) of farmed animals, the cow. Taking a critical look at the assumptions and misinformation about meat, Sacred Cow points out the flaws in our current food system and in the proposed "solutions." Inside, Rodgers and Wolf reveal contrarian but science-based findings, such as: • Meat and animal fat are essential for our bodies. • A sustainable food system cannot exist without animals. • A vegan diet may destroy more life than sustainable cattle farming. • Regenerative cattle ranching is one of our best tools at mitigating climate change. You'll also find practical guidance on how to support sustainable farms and a 30-day challenge to help you transition to a healthful and conscientious diet. With scientific rigor, deep compassion, and wit, Rodgers and Wolf argue unequivocally that meat (done right) should have a place on the table. It's not the cow, it's the how!
