Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using common sense explanations this book shows that the mental world in which we have our thoughts and feelings is the same world as the spiritual world of the afterlife in eternity. We are born with an immortal spirit-body in the mental world of eternity, which is where we exist. This is also called the spiritual world of eternity. Our spirit-body is our anatomical mind. Human beings are mental beings. Our mind cannot exist on earth so it needs a physical "avatar" on earth that our spirit-body can control through our thoughts and feelings. We are not aware of the people in the afterlife because our sensory input is restricted to earth as long as our avatar is attached to us. When our avatar on earth is injured and ceases responding to our mind, our spirit-body continues life in the mental world of eternity where we now can see everyone else who is in the afterlife, and can have relationships with them. This book gives you the details of all this and ties them together in a common sense explanation that may be confirmed in your own thinking and understanding. There is nothing to believe, only to understand. Adding spiritual ideas to our daily thinking deepens our perception of things and enriches our personality. The result is a constant feeling of vitality and excitement of life. The spiritual ideas that we acquire through our understanding are extremely fertile in our mind and reveal to our consciousness an endless series of new ideas contained in them. This is what makes the process exciting and dramatic like a good adventure.One of the spiritual facts is this: that human beings are directly born into the afterlife world of eternity where we are right now, and where we remain forever. Hence it is that the spirit-body of human beings is born immortal and can never die. The spirit-body is the embodiment and anatomy of our immortal mind.Another awesome consequence of already being in eternity is that every human being has direct access to the knowledge of every other human being that ever lived since the beginning. This is because all human beings live in the same mental world of eternity. There is only one mental world for all humanity and our mind is in it forever. The mental world of eternity is the same as the spiritual world of the afterlife.Topics include: Talking to God, Sacred Scripture, Life After Death, Your Immortal Spirit-Body, Personality, Inherited Loves, Theistic Psychology, Ego, Death and Dying, Resuscitation, Symbolism, Correspondences, Spiritual Battles, Regeneration, Individuation, Jung, Swedenborg, Collective Consciousness, Afterlife Lifestyles and Communities, Heaven and Hell, Angels and Devils, Spiritual Marriages, Children and Pets in the Afterlife, Dreams, Self-Analysis, Anatomy of the Mind, Aggressive Driving, Technology and Afterlife, Philosophy of Science, Spiritual Rationality, Spiritual Telepathy, Avatar Psychology, Husband-Wife Relationships, Eternity, Infinity, True Love, and Spiritual Truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expression "rational theistic self-analysis" (RTS) refers to the systematic daily self-monitoring of our thoughts and feelings and their assessment in accordance with spiritual-rational ideas regarding God and the afterlife of eternity. This book explains how people can raise their consciousness, their vitality, their understanding, and their self-confidence by getting to know the practice of rational theistic self-analysis. These ideas about the mind and the afterlife are described in the work of Jung and Swedenborg, two of the past giants of psychology and spirituality. See Volume 1 of this book.No one is born for hell; everyone is born for heaven. ~SwedenborgYour perception will become clear only when you can look into your soul. -Carl JungWhat is conscious to us now becomes unconscious in the afterlife, and what is unconscious to us now becomes conscious after death. ~Leon JamesIt is part of being a human being to want to be immortal. The people of the ancient and pre-modern cultures knew that they were immortal. They understood that death brings new life to the person. But modern civilization is shaped by a materialistic science that has turned more and more towards a foundational premise of just one world. As a result, modern people do not know that they are immortal. And yet they desperately want to be immortal! Once you allow that idea to enter your mind -- the idea that you are immortal, you will perceive a sense of deep relief from the constant normal anxiety about death or dying. This happens when we think that the self or the self of a loved one is going out of existence. It causes the modern individual's life-angst or basic anxiety. Hence the amazing relief we feel when discovering and understanding our immortality. One of the central tasks in RTS is to help you make that discovery of yourself. Once the death-fear is gone or much lessened, there comes curiosity. Many questions flood the mind, such as these:a) What is it like to live in the afterlife? b) Do we have a body? c) Can we feel pleasure? d) Can we be intimate with others? e) What are the afterlife lifestyles? f) What is there to do? g) Can we see God? h) How are we to prepare ourselves now for that life in eternity? i) What is the most important task we have here on earth? j) If there is life after death in eternity then why are we born on earth instead of in eternity? k) Do we have a soulmate with whom we live in happiness to eternity? l) Is there marriage in the afterlife? m) What is our spirit body like and can we feel and do the same things as in the physical body? n) What is love? o) What is truth? p) How does God relate to each individual personally'q) Can we meet the people who already live in the afterlife? r) Are there spirits and angels? s) Is there a devil? t) How do we equip our personality with traits of mutual love that allows us to be angels in eternity? u) How do we avoid becoming selfish and stupid, unhappy and non-productive, living below the level of our human potential? v) Ho do we achieve self-realization and spiritual enlightenment?Every one of these questions is answered in the four Volumes of this book. The answers are presented as rational explanations based on the empirical observations and vast research compiled by the two giants of psychology, Jung and Swedenborg. In most cases these are answers that can be found elsewhere echoed in pieces and scattered across the world literature of the past three thousand years. The unparalleled genius and knowledge of Jung and Swedenborg provide the basis for presenting a coherent rational and unified scientific theory of the immortal human personality and of God's very close relationship to the human race and to every individual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 40% of all Americans have no connection with organized religion. Yet many of these people, even though they might never step inside a house of worship, live profoundly spiritual lives. But what is the nature and value of unchurched spirituality in America? Is it a recent phenomenon, a New Age fad that will soon fade, or a long-standing and essential aspect of the American experience? In Spiritual But Not Religious, Robert Fuller offers fascinating answers to these questions. He shows that alternative spiritual practices have a long and rich history in America, dating back to the colonial period, when church membership rarely exceeded 17% and interest in astrology, numerology, magic, and witchcraft ran high. Fuller traces such unchurched traditions into the mid-nineteenth century, when Americans responded enthusiastically to new philosophies such as Swedenborgianism, Transcendentalism, and mesmerism, right up to the current interest in meditation, channeling, divination, and a host of other unconventional spiritual practices. Throughout, Fuller argues that far from the flighty and narcissistic dilettantes they are often made out to be, unchurched spiritual seekers embrace a mature and dynamic set of basic beliefs. They focus on inner sources of spirituality and on this world rather than the afterlife; they believe in the accessibility of God and in the mind's untapped powers; they see a fundamental unity between science and religion and an equality between genders and races; and they are more willing to test their beliefs and change them when they prove untenable. Timely, sweeping in its scope, and informed by a clear historical understanding, Spiritual But Not Religious offers fresh perspective on the growing numbers of Americans who find their spirituality outside the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and important collection broadens our understanding of the ways in which lay theories (also known as folk psychologies, implicit theories, naïve theories, or mindsets) impact our lives and social relations. Moving well beyond lay theories as applied to intelligence and achievement, this volume considers lay theories in an admirably wide context, including perspectives on prejudice, creativity, self-regulation, health, free will, justice, magic, religion and more. Eminent and emerging scholars alike provide a comprehensive overview that presents and synthesizes cutting edge contemporary research on lay theories, spanning social, cognitive, developmental, cultural, and clinical psychology. Structurally, this volume is organized in three parts. Beginning with a preface by renowned scholar Carol Dweck, the first part looks at the origins and nature of lay theories, and how malleable they are. The second part explores lay theories about common psychological phenomena. The third section discusses lay theories about the metaphysical or supernatural. Finally, the last section explores the important question of how lay theories impact health and health behavior. Taken together, the chapters provide an integrative survey of the science of lay theories, bringing together many perspectives that previously have been studied largely in isolation. This volume is more than the sum of its parts—perspectives from different strands of research provide insights that cut across research disciplines, making novel connections and prompting new directions for this field of study. Shedding light on how our beliefs shape all facets of our lives, The Science of Lay Theories: How Beliefs Shape Our Cognition, Behavior, and Health will appeal to researchers and practitioners in psychology, as well as philosophers, cognitive and developmental neuroscientists, religious scholars, sociologists, and anthropologists. It is very rare to say of an edited volume of scholarly chapters “I couldn’t put it down!” Yet that was the case with this book. It’s not just that I have worked in this field for many years, but rather, with every chapter I felt I was gaining new insights into what, deep down, people really believe and how these beliefs influence their lives—Carol Dweck, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is paganism? In this penetrating and tightly argued manifesto, French philosopher Alain de Benoist seeks to answer this question with passionate intellectual vigor and a tremendous erudition. Arising out of the "monotheism vs. polytheism" debate that reverberated through Parisian intellectual circles in the late 1970s, this is neither a survey of ancient, pre-Christian religions, nor is it an argument on behalf of any modern neo-pagan sect. On Being a Pagan draws on Nietzsche, Heidegger, ancient philosophy and mythology, and biblical hermeneutics to articulate a pagan theology based on a common Indo-European foundation. In keeping with the critical tradition which hearkens back to the Greek philosopher Celsus, Benoist contrasts the heroic pagan worldview with Christianity's attempts to hobble everything that is beautiful and strong. He compares the cyclical pagan conception of time to the de-mythologizing, linear understanding of history favored by the prophets. Most disturbingly, he traces the roots of modern totalitarianism and intolerance--of both the left and the right--to the leveling ideology of ancient Judeo-Christian monotheism, with its underlying rejection of diversity and différence. Originally published to wide critical acclaim in 1981, Benoist's text is as relevant today as it was when it first appeared--and perhaps even more so for the English-speaking world. This newly revised translation now features an extensive interview with the author, and includes his reflections (both positive and negative) on the various groups and individuals that have attempted to resurrect the pagan spirit. Rather than simply dissecting the 2,000-year Christian interregnum, Benoist's greater purpose is to point the way forward to a world that could have been, and which may only now be in the first stages of being reborn.

Book excerpt: The Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (JBTS) is an academic journal focused on the fields of Bible and Theology from an inter-denominational point of view. The journal is comprised of an editorial board of scholars that represent several academic institutions throughout the world. JBTS is concerned with presenting high-level original scholarship in an approachable way. Academic journals are often written by scholars for other scholars. They are technical in nature, assuming a robust knowledge of the field. There are fewer journals that seek to introduce biblical and theological scholarship that is also accessible to students. JBTS seeks to provide high-level scholarship and research to both scholars and students, which results in original scholarship that is readable and accessible. As an inter-denominational journal JBTS is broadly evangelical. We accept contributions in all theological disciplines from any evangelical perspective. In particular, we encourage articles and book reviews within the fields of Old Testament, New Testament, Biblical Theology, Church History, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology, Philosophical Theology, Philosophy, and Ethics.

Book excerpt: This book is the first work that comprehensively presents the accounts of Lia Eden, a former flower arranger who claims to have received divine messages from the Archangel Gabriel and founded the divine Eden Kingdom in her house in Jakarta. This book places Lia Eden’s prophetic trajectory in the context of diverse Indonesian spiritual and religious traditions, by which hundreds of others also claimed to have been commanded by God to lead people and to establish religious groups. This book offers a fresh approach towards the rich Indonesian religious and spiritual traditions with particular attention to the accounts of the emergence of indigenous prophets who founded some popular religions. It presents the history of prophetic tradition which remains alive in Indonesian society from the colonial to reform period. It also explores the ways in which these prophets rebelled against two hegemonies: colonial power in the past and Islamic orthodoxy in the present. The discussion of this book focuses on Lia Eden including her biography, claims to prophethood and divinity, the development of her group Eden Kingdom, her challenge to Islamic orthodoxy under the banner of the MUI (Indonesian Ulama Council), her persecution by radical groups, her experiences in court trials and imprisonment, and public responses to her emergence. The discussion also covers other themes currently drawing public attention in Indonesia, such as pluralism, religious freedom, tolerance, discrimination against minorities, and secularisation.
