241,95 kr. What is God and how do we make God a reality?Is God an outdated idea? Or is God all there is? For the seeker, when the word God is spoken, these questions arise. They can't be settled by the mind but need to sink deeper into the heart. To make God a living reality, it is up to us to discover and fall in love with our own ideal. God is a seed within that grows and blossoms by our care."With an open heart, an appreciation of beauty, and a desire to peer behind the surface in everything, we are ready to pass through the door. Transcendence in the form of concentration on an ideal, on perfection, allows us to see sacredness in nature and in ourselves. It is hidden beneath the surface. It can be seen by those who have eyes and heart to see. Such transcendence prepares us to experience true immanence, the presence of God in ordinary life."--W. H. S. Gebel

- Envisioning the Inner Life of the Universe
288,95 kr. The scientific point of view has gained dominance in our growing world culture by basing its authenticity on an empirical foundation. Yet mystics can point to a different test of authenticity: the broad agreement in subtle perceptions of reality across many cultures and stretches of history. We benefit from the knowledge of the universe and the fascinating intricacies of nature, and we benefit from knowledge of meaning and purpose in the greater life of the cosmos and its implications for meaning in our own lives. An understanding and appreciation of the inner life of the universe can offer an integration of the scientific story of the outer life with the insight of mystics into the inner story, distinguishing the realms appropriate for science and spirituality to explore, and offering hope that they can coexist in mutual respect and harmony, and that each could enrich the other.
