Book excerpt: We are all susceptible to negative external influences, but hidden within each of us is a spiritual power that is waiting to be rediscovered. In this insightful and practical book, based on the author’s personal reflections and life-long experience as a pupil and teacher of spirituality, Jim Ryan presents a unique examination of the mind as it is now, together with practical ways to develop a more spiritual way of thinking and being. Firstly, he shows you how to recognize and change the five negative states of mind: the stone mind, the hollow mind, the coral mind, the fragrant mind and the sponge mind. Then he sets out the pathway to change, helping you to rediscover nine positive mind states, including the wisdom mind, the love mind, the divine mind and ultimately the angelic mind. Aimed at all spiritual thinkers, regardless of religious background, this book shows you how to move from one mind state and how to reconnect with your inner spiritual power. ,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preeminent psychoanalyst Mortimer Ostow believes that early childhood emotional attachments form the cognitive underpinnings of spiritual experience and religious motivation. His hypothesis, which is verifiable, relies on psychological and neurobiological evidence but is respectful of the human need for spiritual value. Ostow begins by classifying the three parts of the spiritual experience: awe, Spirituality proper, and mysticism. After he pinpoints the psychological origins of these feelings in infancy, he discusses the foundations of religious sentiment and practice and the brain processes associated with spiritual experience. He then focuses on spirituality's relationship to mood regulation, and the role of negative spirituality in fostering religious fundamentalism and demonic possession. Ostow concludes with an analysis of an essay by the psychoanalyst Donald M. Marcus, who recounts his own spiritual experience during a Native American-style "vision quest" in the woods. Marcus's account demonstrates the constructive potential of spirituality and the way in which spirituality retrieves and recapitulates feelings of attachment to the mother. Persuasively and brilliantly argued, Spirit, Mind, and Brain brings the disciplines of religion, behavorial neuroscience, and philosophy to bear on a groundbreaking new method for understanding religious ritual and belief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading Scholar Explores Paul's Teaching on the Mind This major work by a leading New Testament scholar explores an important but neglected area of Pauline theology, Paul's teaching about the mind. In discussing matters such as the corrupted mind, the mind of Christ, and the renewal of the mind, Paul adapts language from popular intellectual thought in his day, but he does so in a way distinctively focused on Christ and Christ's role in the believer's transformation. Keener enables readers to understand this thought world so they can interpret Paul's language for contemporary Christian life. The book helps overcome a false separation between following the Spirit and using human judgment and provides a new foundation for relating biblical studies and Christian counseling.

Book excerpt: This book takes you on a journey that unpacks and demystifies what spiritual growth is and how it unfolds. The aim is to set you on your own path toward genuine, personal spiritual transformation. The book provides all the tools you need - biblical, scientific, and practical - so that you can develop your own pathway for spiritual growth. What is unique about Victor Copan's approach to spiritual growth is that he explores recent findings of brain research as well as scientific research on habitformation and brings them into conversation with the process of spiritual formation. Research on the brain and on habit formation has uncovered significant insights about the process and dynamics of human transformation that can be fruitfully incorporated into our own pursuit of spiritual transformation. Tapping into this research allows us to work in concert with how God designed humans to function - body, soul, and spirit.

Book excerpt: The connection between our thoughts/beliefs with our health/life experiences has been recently heralded as an important discovery by scientists. Yet in the 1920s Dr. Ernest Holmes extensively studied what others had already written about this & synthesized his understanding inThe Science of Mind text. He described it as a correlation of laws of science, opinions of philosophy, and revelations of religion. The Practitioner Handbook is a how-to book for those who want to learn spiritual mind healing, a highly effective technique for physical and mental healing. It is based on the understanding that we are surrounded by a Universal Mind, which reacts to our thought—and always according to Law. Earlier editions of The Practitioner Handbook have offered invaluable insights into the mystical and practical aspects of being a Practitioner of high consciousness in today's world. This edition offers even more to its readers and will in its own right become a treasured resource to every person who seeks to deepen and empower their application of Spiritual Mind Treatment.
