The explanations of transcendent phenomena given by saints, sages, and near-death experiencers—miracles, immortality, heaven, God, and transcendent awareness—are fully congruent with scientific discoveries in the fields of relativity, quantum physics, medicine, M-theory, neuroscience, and quantum biology.

In this original and groundbreaking book, Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Robert Waldman turn their attention to the pinnacle of the human experience: enlightenment. Through his brain-scan studies on Brazilian psychic mediums, Sufi mystics, Buddhist meditators, Franciscan nuns, Pentecostals, and participants in secular spirituality rituals, Newberg has discovered the specific neurological mechanisms associated with the enlightenment experience - and how we might activate those circuits in our own brains.

My 2019 writings on topics from tech to politics to God.

At the very beginning of the novel the protagonist dies. His soul starts its journey to the afterlife, but unexpectedly, he wakes up in someone else’s body—and on another planet! Soon it turns out that he has unwillingly become the subject of a scientific experiment carried out by the inhabitants of that planet.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 222 This essay examines the theology of, and relationship between, the saintly Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153), customarily considered a traditionalist, and the arrogant, brilliant and controversial philosopher Peter Abelard (1079–1142), disruptive and famously disgraced in his lifetime. To modern readers Bernard emerges from his conflict with Abelard in an unappealing light, yet Bernard’s behaviour, however much we may now appreciate Abelard, arose from his view of the older man as a climber among the foothills of theology, the effect of whose excursions into ...

Too many people stumble through life with an inaccurate view of who God is. They believe in His existence, but don't know how to relate to Him in a practical and meaningful way. As a result, they fail to achieve anything beyond a superficial relationship with their Creator, and live less-than-fulfilling lives. In Whatever, God, Fr. Anthony Messeh shares his unique story and the lessons he's learned that helped him go from a "don't get too close to God because He might ruin your life" Christian, to a fully devoted "I can't get enough of God in my life" believer.

The challenge and enjoyment in crafting a haiku is in attempting to portray a meaningful thought or emotion using only three lines and seventeen syllables. That was the challenge the author faced in writing this book. He’s hopeful that you will find these haiku poems both eloquent and ...

In TechGnosis - a cult classic now updated and reissued with a new afterword - Erik Davis argues that while the realms of the digital and the spiritual may seem worlds apart, esoteric and religious impulses have in fact always permeated (and sometimes inspired) technological communication. Davis uncovers startling connections between such seemingly disparate topics as electricity and alchemy; online roleplaying games and religious and occult practices; virtual reality and gnostic mythology; programming languages and Kabbalah.

I cannot but lament the tendency of the time — encouraged by some in the zealous prosecution of science — to turn its attention from the teachings of the gospel, from the beautiful example of Christ's life, and the supremely excellent precepts which he gave to his disciples and the people who resorted to hear him. To those teachings and that example the world owes its recovery from the abominations of heathenism. The very men who, in the pride of their investigations into the secrets of the material world, turn a look of scorn upon the Christian system of belief, are not aware how much ...

Increasing numbers of conservative evangelicals are denying basic tenets of classical Christian teaching about God, with departures occurring even among those of the Calvinistic persuasion. James Dolezal's All That Is in God provides an exposition of the historic Christian position while engaging with these contemporary deviations. His convincing critique of the newer position he styles "theistic mutualism" is philosophically robust, systematically nuanced, and biblically based.

With the trademark wisdom, humor, and honesty that made Anne Lamott's book on faith, Traveling Mercies, a runaway best seller, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith is a spiritual antidote to anxiety and despair in increasingly fraught times.

मनुष्य ने जब समाज व राष्ट्र के अस्तित्व तथा महत्त्व को मान्यता दी, तब उसके कर्तव्यों और अधिकारों की व्याख्या निर्धारित करने तथा नियमों के अतिक्रमण करने पर दंड-व्यवस्था करने की भी आवश्यकता उत्पन्न हुई। यही कारण है कि विभिन्न युगों में विभिन्न स्मृतियों की रचना हुई, जिनमें मनुस्मृति को विशेष महत्त्व प्राप्त है। मनुस्मृति में बारह अध्याय तथा दो हजार पाँच सौ श्लोक हैं, जिनमें सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति, संस्कार, नित्य और नैमित्तिक कर्म, आश्रमधर्म, वर्णधर्म, राजधर्म, प्रायश्चित्त आदि अनेक विषयों का उल्लेख है।
