Mind Bending Beliefs: Understanding Spirituality Using Psychology, Science and Metaphysics by DR ANTHONY. AUGUSTINE Pdf

Discover how Consciousness, Beliefs, Intuition and Gratitude Shapes Our Reality, Boosting Our Ability to Manifest a Meaningful Life of Purpose. Manifesting desires and defining spiritual practice are essential skills to be learned. Spiritual practice doesn't require hope, faith or Biblical terms of surrender that suggest there is no control over our destiny. Consciousness has distinct rules that, once learned, will supercharge all manifestations, reducing delivery time. Receiving greater love and prosperity, in every sense, is part of a spiritual practice. There are different legal and scientific laws that we abide by; however, it's connecting to Oneness with metaphysical laws that brings true freedom of choice and conscious-centred living. Human beings are undoubtedly creatures of habit. The infamous comfort zone is the graveyard of many dead dreams and ambitions. Our biochemical and neurological systems inadvertently inflict a static life for most. We're doomed to settle for familiarity without the conscious decision to apply free will, conscious action, and or to embrace change. Discover the illusion of beliefs and how connecting to Oneness uncovers guidance and inspiration. Once, the world was full of wonder, and as children, our beliefs were forged from traditions that created a sense of magic in our lives. One by one, we'd find out the truth about the tooth fairy, leprechauns and Father Christmas. The wonder slowly starts to disappear, but with every ending comes a new beginning. Perhaps we could get that feeling back. With an open mind and a willingness to rediscover what life could be, you can lift the unseen veil between the normal and experience the magic once again. Within Mind Bending Beliefs, you'll find ten new functions of consciousness that exist between you and the unknowable Universe. Each one is like a superpower, and once learned, you will gain simple instructions to obtain a new intuition on life. Imagine that each function is a hidden gem in the game of life. Each one you discover maximises your ability to live prosperously. If your current game of life is starting to feel tedious, perhaps it's time to start searching for these hidden gems? Unmask the paradigm-busting insights within this book, guaranteed to wipe away the dullness from any over-familiar life. The landscape of your mind is a powerful force. Unfortunately, our precious attention is like a pack of horses, untrained and likely to lead in a direction that doesn't serve our best interests. Is it time to tame the pack? Once harnessed, the mind's capabilities, combined with the fundamental laws of consciousness, will open up a world of vast potential and countless opportunities.

As a keen observer of human behaviours, Anthony has dedicated his life to understanding the nuances of the subconscious mind and the universal laws of Oneness and consciousness.

Spirituality Beyond Science and Religion by Lillian Stover Wells,Jack McMahan,William Pillow Pdf

Spirituality means something different to everyone. Some may believe it involves participating in organized religion. Others may prefer it to be more personal, like getting in touch with ones inner self through yoga, meditation, quiet reflection, or even long walks. A few may find that it lies in finding a new sense of purpose for their lives. Spirituality Beyond Science and Religion addresses all of these, and more, through a new paradigm about life and death. It lifts readers above their daily press for competitive survival and success, by going to the heart of all spirituality. The book disputes traditional sciences claim that physical matter is the only reality. It also helps explain enigmas that have confronted orthodox religion for centuries. To do so, this book correlates published research from nearly one hundred and fifty authors and professionals in medicine, neuroscience, psychology, theology, history, and metaphysics. It explores new insights being revealed through thousands of subjective experiences around the worldall of them beyond the ability of science or religion to explain. The book therefore not only offers reassurance that death is not final but it also discloses profound implications for how we live our lives on earth. The US Review of Books Spirituality Beyond Science and Religion by William Pillow, with Jack McMahan and Lillian Stover Wells iUniverse reviewed by Priscilla Estes "but deep inside us is the recognition that life can and should have more meaning, one that reaches far beyond traditional science and orthodox religion and one that involves all of us." The mind-body-spirit (MBS) publishing industry has come a long way since the 1960s and 1970s when Aldous Huxley, Hermann Hesse and Carlos Castaneda combined Eastern and Western thought in the best-sellers Doors of Perception, Siddhartha, and The Teachings of Don Juan, respectively. In fact, according to religion and publishing expert Elizabeth Puttick, MBS publishing is the fastest growing non-fiction genre, which a quick examination of virtual and real bookstores supports. More than ever before, great minds race to close the gap between science and religion, to answer the questions of where do we come from, why are we here, and where do we go after death. We search for answers inside the human brain, the psyche, the fetus, gravity, energy fields, near-death experiences (NDEs), universal consciousness, time travel, soul travel, quantum medicine, karma, dharma, and moreit's hard for the average person to comprehend, let alone keep up! Finally, here is a book that helps pull it all together for us, written by William Pillow, ex-US Air Force and retired pharmacist with thirty-four years at Eli Lilly. Pillow began a quest to discover where we go after death and why when a long and lingering illness befell his wife and he confronted aging. Initially a Southern Baptist and a skeptic about all things metaphysical, he changed his mind while reading the incredible body of research on soul survival. After prodigious investigation, much of which concerns NDEs and studies on fetal awareness, Pillow concluded there is a soul, a God, and a Heaven. His conclusions may challenge your philosophy, but parenthetical documentation and a fifteen-page bibliography encourage independent verification. The book starts slowly and carefully as Pillow builds his case by conscientiously stitching together scientific, religious, and metaphysical literature, both ancient and modern, on the nature of God (the spark of life), souls (the human superconsciousness) and Heaven (the spirit world). The brain begins to smoke while chugging through study after study on NDE's, shared NDE's, life-between-lives (LBL), out-of-body-experiences (OBE), past-life regression, after death communications (ADC), pre-birth visions, neurological pathways, the transcendent source of consciousness, the ego, and more. We long for an index, a glossary, and less use of quotes around words that don't require them. Halfway through, our mental labors are rewarded with chapter 7, "Our Incomparable Souls." This is the heart of the book, a behind-the scenes look at the soul and a parting of the veil of forgetfulness produced by the ego. Pillow discusses studies on fetal consciousness, which provide the strongest circumstantial evidence for existence of the soul, and gives a moving testament to the soul's purpose: to instill compassion, empathy, and benevolence in its human host. The second half of the book flies by, as we greedily gobble mainstream studies on energy healing, brain waves, and the need for face-to-face friendships in an electronically connected world. Tucked unobtrusively at the end of chapter 11 are three paragraphs titled "For Me Personally," in which the author shares his private definition of faith. Such unheralded brevity from a man who once considered entering the Christian ministry shows great respect for the reader and for the role of science in decoding religion and spirituality. The final chapter implores us "to at least consider the possible importance of these concepts and commentaries for your loved ones and for you." Pillow believes that by knowing there is a God, a soul, and a Heaven, we can sustain our inner journey toward purpose and meaning in our lives; and that by recognizing our shared humanity, we can save civilization. One hopes and prays this is true as murders by children, mass killings by governments, greed, corruption, materialism, apathy, mental illness, addiction, and more threaten to suffocate humanity's life force. Pillow is an accomplished author, having written or edited five educational textbooks, several dozen articles, one murder mystery involving reincarnation and the paranormal, and five books about the search for self and the meaning of life through science, self-awareness, and spirituality. Spirituality Beyond Science and Religion is his first book written with theologian Jack McMahan and clinical psychologist Lillian Stover Wells. Pillow brilliantly connects his philosophy on the soul, God, and Heaven with salient literature in the field of science and religion. The MBS genre has come a long way from the Indian fables and drug-induced journeys of the sixties and seventies. Pillow's overall message that the power of love is greater than the love of power points us in the right direction for the twenty-first century.

God and Science by Linda Gauthier Pdf

There is a cosmic energy in the universe that is all creative. We are using this energy every day whether we know it or not. For thousands of years this energy has been recognized by the spiritual world. Today with the advent of quantum science and sophisticated technology we are able to measure these subtle frequencies and amass data which confirms what we have always known. What was once perceived as metaphysical is now being proven in laboratories on a subatomic level. Most of us are unaware of this invisible and all powerful energy. We are operating on auto pilot and reacting to every circumstance that comes into our life. We are misusing this energy to support our fears and limitations. We keep repeating the same painful and destructive patterns. As soon as we begin to acknowledge this power we try using positive thinking and affirmations. When this isn't working we think we need more will power and we blame ourselves. The reason that this isn't working is because we are using the wrong part of our mind. We are using our conscious mind. What we discover is that in order to make sustainable changes we need to use our subconscious mind. We can now interact with our subconscious mind. PSYCH-K(R) uses ancient wisdom and neuroscience to make immediate and sustainable changes in our subconscious mind. We can bring traumas and limiting beliefs to light. When we can see what has been holding us back and making us sick, we are able to create new beliefs. We are able to replace the beliefs that are sabotaging us with new beliefs that create health, wealth and joy. We can now harness this unlimited power and we can live in peace, joy and love. We can rise to our highest vibration. We are spiritual beings living in a physical word. As spiritual beings we are all one. We are connected and interdependent upon each other. When we raise our vibration, we are raising the vibration of the world. We are living in a time when we can accelerate our human potential beyond anything we have ever imagined.

Mind Over Matter by Susan Truett Trammell Pdf

For centuries science and religion often have been viewed as in direct conflict. Now recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics are dissolving those perceived differences and revealing the similarities between (indeed, the intersection of) these two disciplines. Mind over Matter dispels the outdated belief that the nature of reality is not that conceived by so many for so long-from early Greek philosophers to Newtonian physics and even some twentieth-century science. Quantum science's most recent discoveries about the non-material aspects of energy have now overtaken such outmoded thinking and the belief that our universe is material in nature. As consciousness becomes the focus for so many, we are being guided to a radical and evolutionary understanding of what "God" and similar creative concepts may mean. Our understanding of what and why we are, and the role consciousness plays in both science and spirituality, is challenging us all to question old beliefs and practices that are no longer relevant. Spiritual metaphysician, Susan Trammell, invites her readers to engage in a new kind of conversation about what it truly means to be spiritual beings experiencing humanity. New revelations await anyone eager to positively influence the tipping point at which we find ourselves and our planet. Discover the means by which you individually and our collective human race can determine the future of generations to come. Written for non-scientifically educated individuals, Mind over Matter offers everyone a path forward through a fusion of scientific discoveries and spiritual relevance. In this age of chaos and confusion, may we intentionally engage in opening our minds to be all that we've come to be.

How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan Pdf

“Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York Times A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

Sketch for a Systematic Metaphysics by D. M. Armstrong Pdf

This book tries to present in brief compass a metaphysical system, matured (as is hoped) over many years. By metaphysics is understood an account of the fundamental categories of being, such notions as property, relation, causality. These notions are more abstract than the results of scientific inquiry, and are controversial among scientists as well as among philosophers. The book sprang from lectures given to graduate students, and has deliberately been kept at an informal level. It includes some explanations not required in a book for professional philosophers. The argument is developed in sixteen short chapters. It is argued that the world is a world of states of affairs, involving universals and particulars. The notion of finding suitable truthmakers for truths grows in importance as the book proceeds.

Metzger's Dog by Thomas Perry Pdf

The much-loved comic thriller by the author of the Edgar Award–winning The Butcher’s Boy is now, by popular demand, back in print, featuring a new Introduction by bestselling author Carl Hiaasen. When Leroy “Chinese” Gordon breaks into a professor’s lab at the University of Los Angeles, he’s after some pharmaceutical cocaine, worth plenty of money. Instead, he finds the papers the professor has compiled for the CIA, which include a blueprint for throwing a large city into chaos. But how is the CIA to be persuaded to pay a suitable ransom, unless of course someone actually uses the plan to throw a large city into chaos—Los Angeles, for instance? Assigned to cope with the crisis and restore the peace, veteran agent Ben Porterfield steps onto the scene to remind us that the CIA’s middle name is, after all, Intelligence. Enlivening the mix are Gordon’s beautiful girlfriend, Margaret, his temperamental cat, Dr. Henry Metzger, and Metzger’s friend, an enormous half-wild dog with huge teeth.

Psychiatric Medication and Spirituality by Lynne Vanderpot Pdf

Challenging an exclusively medical approach to mental health and illness, this book considers the impact psychiatric drugs can have on spirituality. In the last thirty years, a dramatic rise in medication as a treatment for mental illness has occurred in tandem with increasing numbers of people entering treatment with a spiritually-oriented understanding of their suffering. The unforeseen result is that some people taking psychiatric drugs are engaging with them in ways that can have a profound impact on the course and outcome of treatment. Based on interviews with people on psychiatric medication who regard spirituality as significant in their lives, this book reveals how medication can be perceived as both helpful and harmful to spirituality. The author argues that spirituality must be considered in debates around psychopharmacology.

The Janus Point by Julian Barbour Pdf

In a universe filled by chaos and disorder, one physicist makes the radical argument that the growth of order drives the passage of time -- and shapes the destiny of the universe. Time is among the universe's greatest mysteries. Why, when most laws of physics allow for it to flow forward and backward, does it only go forward? Physicists have long appealed to the second law of thermodynamics, held to predict the increase of disorder in the universe, to explain this. In The Janus Point, physicist Julian Barbour argues that the second law has been misapplied and that the growth of order determines how we experience time. In his view, the big bang becomes the "Janus point," a moment of minimal order from which time could flow, and order increase, in two directions. The Janus Point has remarkable implications: while most physicists predict that the universe will become mired in disorder, Barbour sees the possibility that order -- the stuff of life -- can grow without bound. A major new work of physics, The Janus Point will transform our understanding of the nature of existence.

The Way of Ignorance by Wendell Berry Pdf

The continuing war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, the political sniping engendered by the Supreme Court nominations, Terry Schiavo - contemporary American society is characterized by divisive anger, profound loss, and danger. Wendell Berry, one of the country's foremost cultural critics, addresses the menace, responding with hope and intelligence in a series of essays that tackle the major questions of the day. Whose freedom are we considering when we speak of the ''free market'' or ''free enterprise?'' What is really involved in our National Security? What is the price of ownership without affection? Berry answers in prose that shuns abstraction for clarity, coherence, and passion, giving us essays that may be the finest of his long career.
